#flex points

This was lunch today....I had 1/2 a sub left so I cut it up into two half’s. I’ll have the other half tomorrow.

10 points!

Also they had mini cupcakes leftover from the client all day conference going on at the office today. It’s so cute...and it was yummy. I tracked it as 5 points.

This was breakfast this morning..... 6 points!

I even talked myself out of a third egg that I really didn’t need.

Starting this week off properly with a nice filling and properly tracked meal.

1/2 cup oatmeal = 4 points

2 bananas = 0 points

1 tbs Whipper Peanut Butter = 2 points

1/4 cup Sugar Free Maple Syrup = 1 point

Coffee, Splenda, 2 tbsp Sugar Free Creamer - 1 point

My girlfriend came back from her job with fried calamari because that's what I wanted no matter what for the past two weeks.

Damn, that stuff's got a lot of points.

I have no idea why I was so hungry for carbs and fatty proteins today. I literally used ALL of my flex points on peanut butter sandwiches, chocolate milk, and a barbecue baked potato. That's all until next wednesday. Shoot :(

This morning, I woke up at 8:15. The plan was to get up and do some yoga before class. 

However, what ended up happening was sleeping in until 9:28 am....Class begins at 9:35. 

I stumbled out of bed, put on some jeans, a fleet foxes shirt, and a black sweater. While pulling my hair into a bun, I thought to myself how dread-lock like it was becoming (not what I want), and how I really need to wash it. I walked out the door--and resigning myself that I'll be late to class anyway, walked the familiar walk to Starbucks.

Because I walked in at 9:36 am, a minute after classes start, I was one of three people in line--a professor, a student, and me. Waiting, I heard a familiar tune playing from the speakers:

Sometimes I can't believe it; I'm moving past the feeling. Sometimes I can't believe it...I'm moving past the feeling again. 

The last chorus...I began to tap my foot, thinking, wow, ND is finally catching on...At the end of the song for a brief moment, I thought maybe they were playing the whole album. But that wouldn't be very ND like. So what actually happened is a Lindsay Lohan song came on. Really? 

I smiled at this and ordered my usual: grande awake tea, please. 

The barista made my drink, handed it to me in the usual way (why do they never actually *hand* you the drink? they just put it on the counter and push it toward you.) and I gave her my ID, to pay. She swiped it, and instead of the familiar "have a nice day!" instead, there was an "oh wait, hold on a sec."

I looked up, to see her focusing on the screen. She swiped it again. "It says your not enough balance?" 

I smiled and laughed. "Haha! I'm probably out."

She checked and told me I had a dollar and 28 cents on my card, and 17 cents in domer dollars--would I like to use it? I nodded, and paid the rest with my credit card.

Walking out of Starbucks, I remarked to myself that in the Spring of my senior year, on leap day, I ran out of flex points not in March or April, but in February, on the day they were playing my favorite band, in my favorite hideout on campus.
