Jury duty sucks

I got called for jury duty. I never get out of it. I have been called 4 times and chosen 4 times. I am beginning to believe the saying of "Why would you trust your life to 12 people who are too stupid to get out of jury duty?" was written for me.

Sadly, I never get on exciting cases... and this one is no different. It is a civil case. It is about 10 days long. Sittng in court all day is just killing me. Number 1... it's boring as heck. Number 2.... NO exercise. I gained 5 pounds last week. I have been doing so-so with my food and eating. I mix up a protein drink in the morning (8 oz skim milk and 2 scoops of protein powder) and take it with me. I drink it on breaks. I also make sure I get my water in throughut the day. I was bad one or three days though, when it came to lunch. The first day I went to Panera Bread. Got a yummy bread bowl of french onion soup. It was soooo good. I'm sure that is where the weight gain started.... all that sodium and fat in it. The next day I was better. I brought my lunch and had them lock me in the jury room (not allowed to wander in the back halls, you need to be escorted) it was nice, I was able to eat in peace, read my book, use the potty and talk on the phone to friends. The next day, I had a terrible craving for Subway. Went and got a foot long Chicken bacon sub. Got a small amount of ranch on it as well as their sweet onion sauce. It was really yummy. I made the mistake of eating almost a full half of it. I was so afraid I was going to barf it up once we got back into court. Luckily, I didn't. The next day I finished the other half of the sub (though I didn't eat any of the bread this time.)

So, there was no court for us on Friday and Monday is a holiday, so I figure (and am hoping) that by the time I go back to court on Tuesday I will have lost all the weight I gained last week.

And..... while we are on that subject.... riddle me this: How the heck can someone who is only taking in 600 calories or so a day and only absorbing probably half of those not only NOT lose weight, but actually GAIN it?????

Oh well, onwards and upwards. I can only assume the weight will come off.

Guess that's enough whining for now.

Later....
