Yesterday was my first day at my new job which I was really excited about. I actually got up an hour and a half before I had to leave which means I actually had time for breakfast. At my last job I never ate breakfast. I would either wait till lunch or get a burrito from the cafe. With not knowing what to expect though and wanting to make sure that I didn't start bingeing later on because I was so hungry, I wanted to make sure I started off my day right. So I had some leftover egg scramble with a bit of guacamole, a single piece of bacon, some watermelon, and a large glass of water. At work, which I think I'm going to really enjoy, I was standing a lot, something I haven't had to do in almost a year and a half. I have plantar fasciitis and being on my feet for a long period of time makes it flare up. Plantar fasciitis is generally described as inflammation of the plantar fascia of the foot which is a band of connective tissue running from the heel to the base of the toes and supports the arch. So after standing for a few hours, my feet started hurting terribly at which point it was pretty much a matter of just grin and bear it, but it made walking painful and difficult.
I hadn't had time to pack a lunch unfortunately, so I went over to the Dion's nearby and got a Caesar salad. One of my goals to start easing my way into the weight loss was to stop drinking soda. It is just so unhealthy and I figured it would make a difference if I started with it. However, since my stomach was feeling a bit queasy, probably from nerves, I did get a medium sprite because it generally calms down my stomach. I was a bit frustrated at needing it because I had switched purses and didn't have any kind of medicine whatsoever that might help, but I figured it was a one time thing and it did help my stomach so I was grateful for that.
