So - while all of you were enjoying a yummy feast with friends and family, Phil and I were "professionally developing" ourselves at work! Mind you, a "yummy feast" was in fact provided to our staff: box after box of Krisy Kreme donuts, box after box of Dominoes pizza, bag after bag of cheesy nachos, and one massive "Happy Teacher's Day!" cake. Phil indulged in the big spread, but I didn't stick around and went back to my room to do some work and eat some plain shredded wheat with fresh blueberries (WOO HOOO! Haha).
The dietician called last evening. She received my food diary and said that my calorie input is great (about 1600 per day) and that my diet is low in fat, sugar, and sodium. However, she DID mention that I wasn't eating enough carbs. To which I replied, "BUT YOU TOLD ME NOT TO!!!!!" Haha, anyways - I have been asked to 'up' my percentage of carbs from 23% to 40%. A diet plan should arrive in my inbox sometime today, inshallah!
In related news, Baby P was non-stop kicking yesterday. Either she LOVES school like MOI - expressing her excitement for each and every P.D. session OR she HATES school like Phil - saying "GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!" with every kick! Her discontent did, however, continue throughout the evening. So perhaps she was letting us know how disappointed she was that we were HERE (in Kuwait) instead of THERE (in Canada!) with all of you. (We were also bummed).
Well, school is calling! I must get dressed for work! Hope you had a FUN-FILLED family weekend back home! Enjoy all of those delicious leftovers in the upcoming week!
Love, Linds (and PHILLIP....and BABY P!!!)
