"When you get close to the edge, it's easy to accidentally go over." We've been hearing that a lot a church. I found out it's true on calorie counting too. I thought I'd counted everything, so when I got home last night I ate only what would keep me from going over. Then Thursday morning I got up and was walking past the counter to go make my coffee and noticed my big can of mixed nuts was down. I had forgotten to count them . I thought I had ended the day at 1596 but after I added in the mixed nuts I had FORGOTTEN ABOUT, I went over the edge.
Oh, well. It's Wednesday. I was going to let myself go over on Wednesday's because it's such a tough day. And, today, in addition to it being freight day, it was the week the crew I'm on does church cleaning--which we do AFTER church on Wednesday nights. If I'd had my way, it would have been a Wednesday when I was going into work late on Thursday, but that's not my choice. To make it worse, Josh decided he wasn't needed to help out this time.
