I’ve been good the past two days. I’ve restricted myself to only eating dinner, and for dinner I’ve had a steak salad followed by a “dessert” of Greek yogurt and blueberries. For dinner tonight, I think I’ll skip the steak and just have a vegetarian salad. I’ve also been to the gym the past two days. While this has been good for me, my shoulders, hips, and feet are sore, so I’m probably going to skip the gym today.

I may be nearing the end of my rope with work. I just can’t seem to convince my brain that it’s tolerable. In two months, I’ll have been at this job for a year, and it’s been a pretty miserable year. If a more palatable role becomes available (and if I can get it), I’ll stay with the company a while longer, but I can’t imagine remaining in corporate life much longer. I have a lot of more fulfilling things I want to do, and it’s become clear that I’ll eventually have to make a choice between being stuck on a path that I don’t want to be on and creating a new, more rewarding path for myself.

That’s all I’ve got for today. My second cup of coffee beckons…
