Just woke-up a wee bit early to a really happening thunderstorm, Cathy... Golly-Moses, the thunder is CRACKING somethin' terrible! My cats were flying across the bed and freakin' out!, so I had to get up for fear of being shredded to death by their claws- Ha! (and I'm still half out of it, so please forgive if my writing rambles or "sounds" like I'm tipsy!)
I think your practice of forcing yourself to stand-up and move around to do things at work- including l'il mini-hikes around the facility is a real good plan- I'll have to try that. I work at one of 5 HUGE buildings (16,000-17,000 staffers work at all 5 campuses, combined, so that gives you an idea of how humungous these buildings must be!).
Another reason why I am liking the Lean Cuisines (I also get another one that I think is called "Healthy Choice" or some such, which seems to have slightly larger portions.) is that cooking for one- I simply CANNOT cook just 1 or 2 portions, so whatever I do cook, I'm eating-on for days on end, which isn't always all-bad, but... not that I'm pretending the meals are as good as those we all would cook for ourselves... So buying these meals gives me variety. So far only a couple have sucked that I won't buy again. I like the pizzas- (they have a spinach pizza that I add canned mushrooms and sliced chicken breast to), the meat lasagne and zucchini lasagne, the sesame/ginger pork tenderloin which comes with rice and snow peas, the chicken-fettucine alfredo, and a few others... they just make really good, nutritious/lowcal/fat and easy-to-pack lunches for work.
I hope your headache and "hangover" have gone away by now! Speaking of which- I gotta crack-open a diet pepsi (which is my "coffee", since I don't drink the real stuff!).
