January 6th

Today was a pretty good day. I had some good food moments and some fun so I am happy with the day.

To start things off I had a cup of coffee, a glass of juice and a bowl of oatmeal. i was pretty happy that I got myself in a routine where I should be able to eat breakfast most days. I haven't had oatmeal in a long time. It was really good and hit the spot on a cool morning.

For lunch I did take a frozen dinner and some other stuff but all of that fell out the window when I heard about the free big mac deal. Tim, my co worker, made a comment about how he was going to get a free big mac at McDonalds for lunch. Well of course I had to inquire further as to what he meant. He said that if you bought a Big Mac meal today(1/6) you got a free big mac. Well I couldn't pass that up. So I gave Tim a ten dollar bill and told him to get a second Big Mac meal and free big mac for me. So for lunch I had two Big macs and a medium fry. I was proud of one thing in the whole Free Big Mac situation. I did not tell ti what to get me to drink so he got me a medium coke. I haven't had a pop in over a year as you know but I didn't know what to do here. I didn't want to just throw it away and I felt a little ungrateful telling Tim he made a mistake so i thought about drinking it. Then I thought why would I ruin my pop streak over this. So I gave the coke back to Tim and told he could have it and gave a brief explanation as to why I didn't want it placing the blame on my self for not telling him what I wanted to drink.

When I got home from work I had a few bakers chocolates that were inn the pantry while I did some cleaning.

For supper we had a After Christmas party with my department from work at a coworkers house. We had appetizers of seven layer taco dip, stuffed peppers, hummus, spinach dip, and goat cheese. Then we had tacos, meatballs and little smokies to eat. The to top it off we had some brownies and cookies. I had a little bit of every thing but I was pretty happy with my self that I did not stuff my self or over eat. It is so much easier to not eat like a pig when you are surrounded by people that you actually don't want thinking you eat like a pig. LOL

Then in a nonfood thing to top the night off there with Dirty Santa Grab Bag Gift Swap. It was really fun. There were a few gifts that I really liked. One of them was a six pack of Hopluia pints. I have never had the beer but the person who brought them assured me that they were very good. I had them for awhile but got them stolen from me late. I did end up with two very large New York Strip steaks that I am not going to complain about. I can always go to the store and find a pint of Holuia beer to have with the steaks.
