70 Followers!

A huge welcome to my 70th follower Speck! Please drop on over and say hi :) Tell her I sent you ;)

I sat on 69 followers for quite a while, but didn't celebrate that because it sounded... Well.... Dirty. I know, I am such a teenager.

Other exciting things that are happening this week... It's my birthday on Saturday!! We are going out to dinner to celebrate tomorrow night (Friday), as the hubs and I are working night shift from tomorrow for 4 nights. Much fun. Hopefully these will be some of the last night shifts that I do (see previous posts about hopeful day job) however I am trying not to count my chickens before they hatch. Even though I know one of my referees has been contacted. I'm terribly impatient, so all this waiting is driving me NUTS!

Add to the awkwardness that a couple of the other people who applied for the job will be at dinner tomorrow, I don't know if it would be better or worse if we know who got it. It is awkward now, as we are all kind of in limbo tiptoeing around each other, but would be bad if one of us gets the job then has to socialise with the others tomorrow. Ah dilemmas. 

Speaking of dinner, I have already sussed out the menu on their website. I think I am going to have a salad, as I can pick at it without seeming like I'm not eating that much. I can also palm some off onto hubby. And I know there will be cake, so the less calories I eat before dessert, the better. I promise that I will have as small a piece as I can get away with, and any leftovers will go with us to work so that other people will eat it :o)

Back to the band. Food is going fairly well this week, I have found myself getting more hungry than I have been previously. Countdown to the fill has begun, I'm not looking for instant restriction, but at least an amount that will keep my hunger away for longer. Weight has been sitting around the 82kg mark, with a slight dip into 81 territory today, but again with the chickens :)

Hopefully I will be celebrating a different kind of 70-something really soon!

If I don't see you all beforehand, have a fantastic weekend! 

P.S. Any Oz bandits out there with an I-phone, calorie king has now released its food database as an app! You can't journal your food as yet, but I'm super excited about this as all the previous calorie trackers were only US foods and restaurants. Yay!
