Good way to lose a pound

So I went and donated plasma today. Hey good way to lose a pound. I wanted to see if I could donate plasma. I always used to donate blood but they always had a hard time finding a vein; so I wasn't sure if I would be able to. I was though and let me tell you I feel so good about it. I love when I know I am doing something that is going to help someone I will probably never meet.
The med tech said that plasma is most often used for burn patients because their skin no longer holds in moisture.
The cool thing about plasma donation or double red cell donation is that they get twice as much as they would from a normal "whole blood" donation. They always spin out the blood once you have donated and get half plasma half red blood cells. When you donate one of these two things you give twice the amount that you would be able to when you donate "whole blood". Since Dr.s almost always call for these seperately it makes a big impact. Well worth the extra time it might take. I feel good.
And hey 516 units of plasma weighs about 1lb so there I lost 1lb after I weighed in so next week should be that much easier, right?

Best Job interview ever...

I haven't had a job interview last 2 hours or end with a hug since my days working at a summer camp in high school.
I am pretty sure I am going to get the job. Yeah!!!!
I hope so because it is a fairly physical job (not that the one I have now isn't) but it also entails travel which means no time to sit and snack. Woo Hoo! I am going to get back on track if it kills me. Tomorrow I am going to try to SlimFast(tm) it as much as possible and then Saturday I will be back on the wagon fully.
I can do this, these pounds I have gained back are not going to defeat me! I will destroy them....(said in a very menacing way...tee hee hee.)

Poor fishy is going to have a hard time this week

I am on vacation and have been soooooooo not staying on track. Yesterday I ate until I was Thanksgiving full at the Chinese buffet with Greg, then later in the evening had chips and dip (another of my big downfalls, chips and dip are one of those things that I just can't control myself on.)
So yeah, I have been way off base but so far today all I have had is a cup of coffee so I could do a SlimFast(tm) fast today to try to get myself back on track... I have my phone interview in about 10 mins. and am very nervous so at least I am not stress eating like I normally would. That is a good thing right? I really hope that I get this job I don't know how much longer I can take being treated like a 10 year old idiot child. (That would be how my boss treats everyone; unless they immediately agree with everything that he says and don't question or challenge him in anyway.) Anyone who knows me understands why this situation is an excellent one for someone like me who can't keep her mouth shut when she sees something wrong...(grrrrrrr why can't I just keep my stupid mouth shut and my head down?)
Anyway I haven't been exercising this week except for a little gardening, I got the most delicious bell pepper out of the garden, and walking but not anything too much. I need to get back on track and will after my interview which is in about 5 minutes now....deep breaths, in through the nose out through the mouth......
