WORKOUT STARTED AND ENDED LATE LAST NIGHT DUE TO UNFORSEEN ISSUES. I'M SO TIRED! LONG WEEK.  BED EARLY TONIGHT. 

THIS WEEK:

MONDAY - Work 8-4; Workout 6:30-7:30; 6 hours, 21 minutes

TUESDAY - Work 8-4; Coach 6-8:30; REST; 7 hours, 39 minutes

SUNDAY - Workout 2-4;

I'm playing a game of ping pong with my sleep schedule this week. Really twitchy sleep last night, so a longer day at work today is NOT going to feel good later. Yeah, I could already go for a nap.

I processed someone's time off request for next month and they are taking Fridays off all month (includes the Easter holiday). What a great idea. I should do that too, it would be so nice to have a whole month of long weekends. I'm also taking April 17th off. It would mean three extra vacation days. That's not bad. I get lots of holiday time - I've been working here for 18 years (!) and I get six weeks of vacation now. Three days is a drop in the bucket. So why do I feel guilty already and I haven't even requested them yet?!!

We made eggs for supper last night. Which was fine, until it wasn't. I guess I hadn't had eggs for a little over a week, and my stomach revolted. So that was fun.

evening edit:  seriously came home to a note that said i should move my car out of my garage for a continuous length of time while the garage roofs are replaced....i had thought if i ever had to do this again, to pay for parking at the nearby college tennis center...so instead of starting an earlier workout, i got ricky to drive with me over there around 7pm so i could pay the $40 for 6 months of parking there and he could drive me home....i will now walk the 2mi to get my car when i need it ;)...will not be needing it much i guess until the roofs are over (probably 3-4weeks of garage non-use!) no biggie. i cannot believe they let us know the NIGHT BEFORE we had to move our cars...at least i had a good option instead of horrible street parking finding spots all week ....i hope my car doesn't get "booted" at the college for leaving in mostly in the same place every 3-4 days...they told me that it usually isn't enforced...we shall see....

_____________________________________________________

TOM is finally here, i feel like crud for sure. leg crumps and very tired...this too shall pass!

 ______________________________________

After a whole week of sensing it's arrival, TOM finally is here. Ah thankfully bc it needs to come back next month and leave before Paris on the 26th! LOL.

DH smoked meats over the weekend. The YA gave DH a turkey breast and he smoked that and a pork roast and a smaller full turkey. Turkey is not my favorite. DH sliced up the turkey breast and added cheese and panko and heated it in the over for dinner. It was just OK, I didn't really care for it, but I didn't have to make it, so that makes it taste better.

I used the left overs and made turkey salad out of it, the pickle relish and light mayo helped this out considerable. I would never eat turkey again and I don't think this would phase me.

The first night of the week DH goes back to work is noticed...by me and the dogs. I turn on the radio to drown out the outside noise that will make them bark and run up and down the stairs. This was after the radio went off, they barked and barked and took turns running outside. DH gets home and they bark some more. I think he comes to bed after 1:30 - almost 2:00. The fire alarm goes off at 3:30. It wakes me up, DH doesn't here it. I go downstairs and see that the electricity is turned off. The fire alarm is wired to the house electric and the battery was low, so it went off. DH made it stop buzzing. I reported the outage and was told it would be fixed by 6:30...it wasn't.

I called work and told them I would be late. I had dreams of property inventory and not getting work done. The new time for repair was 8:30.

My message of coming in late was not given to my boss and he texts asking if I was OK. touched...I told him I had electricity problems and I would be in shortly.

The house was cold now and it was hard taking a shower. The electric came back on just as I was leaving to come to works...someone this didn't surprise me.

Got into a little tiff at work with someone. He asks me for account numbers for our electricity accounts for work. I ask him why. He says there is another meter outside that he doesn't know who it belongs too, but one of our buildings is hooked into that meter and not one of ours. Well this is just wrong to me and I want to call and find out who the meter belongs too. He says, this isn't your business. I just wanted to know what our account numbers are, you gave them, so mind your business.

Wow, just wow! I hate shady business doings and I told him about it. I told him I don't do lying and cheating and if something was amiss, we need to make it right. He again told me, I am just doing what I was told and I don't want you to get too much involved and/or know too much to get anyone else into trouble. Whatever, he said the person who hooked the building electricity up didn't know there was more than one meter and he is long gone from our office. Regardless if you know something shouldn't be happening I still want to make it right. The whole thing ended up being, someone back in his shop cut a lock they weren't supposed to, to open the meter, and that is why they don't want to call right at this moment. The situation is crap and now I wish I didn't know anything about it. I will see how this pans out in the end...but it'sn not my business.

Looking forward to warmer weather.

Have a great evening. IP

SUNDAY - Workout 2-4;

The group training last night went pretty well; I was glad to be able to get in some exercise on my usual OFF day, and it was especially good to be pushed a little bit from a coach - sometimes, that little extra push is what you need to turn a mediocre workout into something amazing!

Plus, as I was driving home afterwards I noted that I felt much more energy than I usually do on a Monday night.

I forgot I have an evening meeting tomorrow night, so I may not get in a workout like I wanted to. No big deal, if I get it in that will be awesome, if not that's ok too!

Logging in today from HOME because I have TIME!  Doctor's appointment is at 10am.  I am taking this free time to do ME things and enjoying every minute of it!

My husband and my daughter are in Chicago to watch my son get sworn in again to enter the Air Force.  At least that's what we hope.  He was told yesterday that he was a no-go because he had a band-aid on his finger.  So after spending 3+ hours in Urgent Care to get a doctor's note to say that this was not an open wound.  Hopefully, that was acceptable to whomever the decision maker is about these sorts of things.  My son has the worst luck of anyone I've ever met.  My husband just texted me to say that it's a go.  He'll be sworn in at 10am.  RELIEF.

With this extra time, I decided to do my upper body routine with heavy weights this morning.  This will make the evening more relaxing, especially if I end up staying later at work to catch up on emails.  I was motivated and enjoyed the workout, although now I feel a little sore in my arms.  That's OK.  If I want, I can do some exercises tonight with lighter weights.  Funny how all this weight training using heavier weights isn't bringing the results like 30 days' worth of push-ups.  I never thought about adding push-ups to my routine.  Hmm...

Yesterday was so stressful at work.  I have 2 computers that I use, one has Windows 7 and the other has Windows 10.  I don't use the one with 10 - even though it's the better computer - because my templates are not saved on that computer.  Well, yesterday, our lawfirm database wasn't working on my old Windows 7 computer, so I had to try to work with the Windows 10 computer while trying to fix my 7 computer, while fielding calls and actually work.  It wasn't just my computer, but not all of the Windows 7 computers were affected.  Male Co-Worker ended up going home and getting his laptop to install the lawfirm software because he could not get it to re-install on his work computers.

After this fiasco, I decided NOW was the time to start copying templates that I use to the 10 computer.  So I went home for lunch and got my thumb drive and stayed late at work to copy files.  I suppose eventually I will transfer them over to the hard drive on the 10 computer, but at least I have them now, and they are portable.  The bright side of all of this is that I put in enough extra time at work to make up the time I will lose this morning because of the appointment.  So no losing sick or vacation time for me - YAY!

It's all about balance!

Funny thing about this morning is that I realize that if I worked part-time, I could manage to do the things that I like to do and have availability for my husband AND still have something to keep me in the game.  I was uplifted today by a post in one of the fitness Facebook groups I belong to, where the lady is turning 56 and getting ready to start her new job as a pilates instructor.  How cool is that?  One of my biggest real fears is that I will be in my early 50s and out of a job.  Once you are 50, it is REALLY hard to find a new job.  This is not a myth.  I have this first-hand from many people who have been in this position.  That is one of my biggest fears about leaving the job I have now - if we were to move and I'd be unemployed, 49, and looking for a job.  However, I might be in that position anyway if my boss decides to retire.

I think Someone is trying to tell me something...  It is my true belief that God speaks to us all the time.  We just have to know how to hear Him.

It's looking like a slower week this week both at work and at the gym, so that will be nice (knock on wood). This weekend was rough, so I need a slowdown.

Friday night I got home from coaching and discovered I had water in my basement! I looked and looked for the source, and finally found a small pin hole opening in a copper water pipe leading to my water heater. There wasn't much I could do about it at the time, so I tried my best to tape it up overnight. On Saturday I was scheduled to coach from 8:00 to 1:30 - I sent my boss a message and she let me leave at 12:00 instead so I could be at home; plumber came around 3:30, and it was fixed by 4:00 thank goodness! I did some cleaning, then drove to BF's. We went to the gym and worked out, and I pretty well collapsed after that - game over for me.

Sunday I woke up not feeling great, and a terrible headache stayed with me for most of the day so I was off and on napping throughout. We went to BF's sister's for a visit, then to the gym for another workout. I felt better after that, and we went out for supper. Then BF and I had a moral disagreement, and it upset me for the rest of the night. We don't fight much, so when it does happen, I never feel good about it.

I am thinking I will hit the gym tonight and take part in a coaching session 6:30-7:30. I need to start adding in more workouts to my week, and not having to think about what to do for one of them would be nice, so trying to fit in Monday coaching sessions sounds reasonable to me - and possibly do-able. We'll see how it goes!

Hello Fresh is arriving tomorrow, so leftovers from the fridge today and not cooking anything big tonight for supper.

Oh the weekend, was so sad to see you go.

Saturday, I got out of the house on my own, this rarely or never happens. I was trying to find a few new tops for our road trip at the end of the month. I walked through several stores and couldn't find anything I liked. It seemed like the clothes were either old womanish looking (now I may be 50, but I don't feel like an old woman) or too young looking. I just wasn't happy with the selections. After three stores I got frustrated and quit looking. Instead I started looking for 10x13 picture frames for pictures of the kids. Again, I hit up about three different stores and couldn't find anything I really wanted - really, really disappointed in Target...but that is another story.

Finally, I went to the grocery store and picked up the few items I needed and I was hell bent on not going home without a purchase. So I went to the Jo-Ann store and I did find some picture frames that were 40% off so I bought them. DH was irked because he send me a link from Amazon with three frames for $33 something...yes, but I wanted them now, I didn't want to wait until Amazon got around to ship them. It was a nice little outing but I'm really not a shopper and was glad to get home.

Sunday, laundry day. I was also on a mission to clean the inside glass on my stove door. This was a learning process and after watching two you tube videos about taking my oven door apart, I finally got this accomplished and I was very satisfied with the result. Now there is no grease trail running down the inside glass. DH did have to help me put the stove door back on, it is heavier than I thought, but mission accomplished.

We did eat Chinese food Saturday and left overs on Sunday, I think I'm pretty much finished with Chinese food for awhile.

Rocco got sick last night on the comforter, so I will be washing bed clothes tonight,  I was going to Kohl's to look for the tops I wanted, I usually find something there. so busy after work.

Food has been ok, trying to cut back on the sugar.

Crazy dreams with laundry and Caroll O'Conner (Archie Bunker) and war on the beaches of Normandy - WTF is going on in my brain???

So far weekend is going well :)

Snack: chocolate 80, kombucha 70. 150., 2 more chocolates 150

1pm taco bell 400, 100. 500. diet mountain dew to help fill up / caffeine up after long walk :)

3pm chocolate, nuts, grapes 100

late snack, 6pm, on drive home: fiber one chocolate chip bar 150, iced coffee to get ready for workout but still relaxed at home in the end until 8pm to start working out...decent still...50,

at home at 7:15pm plums 100, 100 cal pb 

during workout (the pb was really during, and okra indian food 200)

after workout: the sea salt pop chips a bit over 2 servings. 250 piece salami.

1820. satisfied. ;)

2day avg: 2050. perfect.

________________________________________________

I am only doing upper and abs tonight, skipping legs (they had enough anyways as i did a full 90minutes tour today so much fun and free!)

In a long time, this was a great weekend because i did things but also had enough time to sleep in a little and relax. first good weekend in awhile, i hope to make more of it this Spring!

Wow, I had a great upper body workout last night -- who thought I would ever say that?  So, the way I have my weights set up is that I have my bench and heavier weights downstairs in the basement, and then I have a floormat and medium weights (8lb dumbbels) in my bedroom.  I did 2 sets of heavy weights downstairs, while watching reruns of the Great British Baking Show -- falling in love with the show all over again -- and then went upstairs to watch the news (I'm a news junkie) and do 2 sets with lighter weights upstairs.  Same exercises -- added one more exercise for the back -- but with lighter weights, and I felt like that gave me an extra "oompf!"  

I would like to see if I can sustain this during the workweek. 

I might try to take a walk outside today.  It's still quite chilly (40F) but nice and sunny.  I want to see if there are any new houses for sale in the area too - LOL...

Slept in a little bit, nice!  Great sleep & good plans for this weekend!

Snack: dark chocolate and stevia 80.

Breakfast: cold oats and almond milk with stevia 180, big cup of blueberries 100.

360. probably a coffee 50

410...still feeling a bit tired / cramps / but TOM not here. last couple times have been weird with symptoms a full week before PMSing. i hope they die down soon bc i feel like i'm being a little more rude to people in the midst of all of this!

small, healthy lunch: roll 120 with avo 80 and egg 70, smoked salt (love this). 270, something to drink also. 

Snacking: one more chocolate 80 after the concert, followed at close to 5pm by iced coffee back at home 50, protein bar back at home 200. 350. (trying to save room for a dinner, later!) ...gonna research the 19/20 districts i have researched now...then i'll just have one left to go...maybe i can finish both of them today :) then i just need to start buying tickets to things!

1050, good...

spiked seltzer and added extra stevia lol 100 cal, salad 50, awesome mushroom dish 50, awesome carrot with breadcrumbs and garlic dish 100! so good!...followed by a few roasted potatoes 100-150 (not much), wonderful chicken thigh 250?, and some chips though not a ton 150-200. big bite (literally) of tres leches cake (very tasty) 100 or less, later on a cookie 100, and lots of fruit 100. total here: 1150-1200.

2250, EXCELLENT and satisfying. healthy.

bc i kept portions regular, and didn't overindulge, calories worked out! but i'm still gaining weight,, so, must eat closer to 2000 per day trying harder during the week.

______________________________________________________

First on my plan is laundry and organizing. 11-1pm  DONE!

then going to a free concert 2-3pm at a long island library, not in queens as usual, should be an hour of folk guitar / jazz! Once there after the concert, i plan to research paris (maybe) as i won't be alone after the concert so this may not happen. otherwise, i may try to research at home :( i wish our libraries would be open later ...depending on the time, i may stop by my own library to do research, depends on timing as the library will only be open till 5pm, not 6pm like would be more convenient for me today lol. DONE!

I have to pick up seltzers before a get together at my friend's apt tonight, DONE!

starts around 7pm...i've decided to bring Seltzers, many (i was gonna do fruit, but someone asked me to switch and she is already having salad...so i've decided on several setlzers).

__________________________________________________________

Tomorrow i also have a full day of good plans.

Slowly coming back down in numbers.  It was a good week, eating-wise.  Good choices, good portions, for the most part.  Trying to cut out the sugar-free hard candies in bed while I read at night, before bed.  I'm down to just one, and hopefully I can do something to eliminate that last one.  I really would like to see myself back - solidly - in the 120s, though.

As I mentioned in my last entry, I have been battling fatigue this week.  Not so much as being tired, as just feeling exhausted in my muscles - but can't say it's muscle-related, per se.  It just goes that deep.  I had to curtail my 2nd lower body weight routine on Tuesday because I just didn't have the energy and just wanted to go to bed.  Felt the same way Wednesday but forced myself to do a full workout on the upper body because my favorite episode of Star Trek TNG was on.  Otherwise I do not think I could have made it.  

I read in a Facebook group that it's good to mix up heavy and light weight workouts.  I was wondering if I did my weekend upper/body splits with heavy weights... of maybe doing my workday workouts with lighter dumbbells. Especially with work starting to get busy, I've been coming home later each day, with dinner time being around 6pm instead of 5:30p this past week.  

Legal clinic this morning was pretty much a waste of my time - a whole Saturday morning, gone *poof*.  The organization is in a prolonged state of change and the disorganization that comes along with change.  It's not really rewarding any more, except that I really like the people that I work with at the clinic.  We've been together as a cohesive group for about 9 years now.  Funny, we really do not do anything together outside of clinic, which meets 1x a month, for 10 months out of the year.  Yet, I really look forward to meeting up with these folks and hearing what's going on in their lives and such.

Well, at least I have the rest of my weekend for myself, and I do plan to enjoy it and make the most of it!

Good Morning!

___________________________________________________________________________

 "Good Fats Bar" (will be eating these, different flavors, for awhile bc they are GREAT!) 200 and a mocha coffee made at work 100.

Mid Morning: roll 120, 1/4 avo 80, turkey sausage 70: 270

12:30 Lunch: from home! cauliflower pizza crust i cooked up last night so it's ready 200, egg 70, 1/4 avo 80, some peppers maybe 50. 400.

 Dinner was at least 1100, then a snack. Very expensive dinner ugh! $95.

gonna put friday as 2250, decent.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Going out tonight to dinner right after work, early one at 4:30pm which is fine as i eat always!, to go out to a show - seeing Comedian Jerry Sienfeld at 7pm.  It's a the Beacon theater which is only 20min away from my office by Public Transportation!

I feel as though it'll be that "TOM" very soon, as soon prob as i use the bathroom this morning at home lol. I'm glad, since that means it'll be GONE next month before i go to Paris, thank gosh!

THIS WEEK:

MONDAY - Work 8-4; REST; 7 hours, 3 minutes

TUESDAY - Work 8-12; Massage 2-3; Workout 4-6; Coach 6-8:30; 8 hours, 54 minutes

Got my workout in yesterday, a nice run for about 35 minutes total, some walking, and some stretching. About 55 minutes total. Good.

I offered to work extra today at the gym to cover for someone else, so leaving work early by one hour and will cover three group sessions tonight. Then if I am not too tired, i'll get some biking in before I head home for the night.

I had homemade burgers for dinner last night - stuffed thin crust buns with ceasar salad and a burger, turned out quite yummy. I'll have that for leftovers after the gym - so I won't have to cook a meal tonight thank goodness.

I thought I had skipped hello fresh next week, but I see it came out on my credit card. I should pay more attention LOL. Mexican pork tacos, pan-seared steak, and chili chicken is on it's way to me. Sounds good!

Today is flying by - almost coffee time. Time to break out my morning snack of mixed fruit - pineapple, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries! Yum!

Logging in from my phone, which I hate doing, but I will not have time to do so otherwise.  I had intended to log in at work, but it's getting too busy now to do that.  I get caught up on emails,  turn to a task, and come back to 9 more emails.   The last week of March, Mistakes Girl is going on vacation,  which means even more work for me....  Lots of overtime, but I'd rather be not so busy. 

Not stressed out but Monday is the last day I will see my son before bootcamp.  Tuesday is my doctor's appointment with the GI doctor. 

On top of everything,  I've been fighting this awful fatigue. Feeling so drained every morning, and some afternoons,  although yesterday I was on overdrive to get everything done.

Then, just this morning I realized that I have legal clinic on Saturday so  I won't be able to sleep in to get extra rest.

Eating has been ok but had to abbreviate my 2nd weight training espisode on Tuesday - legs - because I was so tired.  No hopes for a good weigh-in tomorrow.

2000 cal day, quite PERFECT. time to decrease before Paris in April.

6day average: 2175. much better than previous days this week. perhaps i can eat today, although i'm eating out tonight, to balance out these cals! instead of a big cocktail drink, perhaps a shot or 2 will be enough!

tonight is upper body. will try to start early, 6:45pm.  there were train delays, so, i hope to start around 7pm.

Thngs are going ok i guess.

Last night I made two pies for PIE DAY at work. Seriously??? I made cream cheesey pies. I licked the bowl and beaters. This morning I felt like I was ran over by a truck, probably from all the sugar. Woke up with a pounding headache too.

The girl is over tonight and I think I'm making Shepherd's Pie, but I haven't quite talked myself into that yet.

Rocco went to the vet for his second round of shots, DH said he did ok.

I did eat pie at work.

stupid pie!

butt is better. shin is better, not as sensitive.

I'm glad i'm not as concerned about perfection as I used to be, because I didn't get in a workout yesterday either. Which means I should have taken my rest week as this week instead of last week LOL. The good thing is that I still worked pretty hard at my workouts last week, so a little extra rest this week might be exactly what I need. And, if I get my run done today, I can do the bike after coaching tomorrow, and still hit my strength workout on Saturday. It will all work out in the end i'm sure.

I decided to do some deep cleaning in the house, and I focused on that instead of working out. My bathroom was a mess, and really needed a good cleaning. Once I got that done, I headed into the kitchen. I would love to be able to work through the whole house and give it a good spring cleaning, but I think I will save that for April and take a few days off work to get it all done.

I'm doing some extra coverage at work for the next week or so. It will create busier days for me, so i'm happy I don't have much else on the go other than my regular coaching shifts. On that note, i'd better get to it!

KOMBUCHA 50

8:30am Breakfast: "good fats" coconut chocolate bar of which the texture is AMAZING, never ate anything like it! 210, coffee 50.

snack: pistashios / apple  chocolates 100, apple 100, 2 herbal teas

dinner: planning on it being healthier again, roll with egg and avo, veggies on side. ? or something similar...THE ROLLS I BOUGHT ON JUST REGULAR AND NOT FILLING..I SHOULD TRY WHOLE WHEAT OPTION NEXT! LIKE A MIX BETWEEN TOO HIGH FIBER AND TOO LOW FIBER!    healthy change of pace: extra blueberries 150, cooked eggplant smaller amount 50, cauliflower crust 250 very light one, yogurt 100 and a drink (low cal). 550, fine. i was full before finishing the cauliflower but ate it anyways, bc i really wanted that yogurt afterwards no matter what. weird, i know.

2000 cal, better...need more of these bc some of my pants are tight right now.!

5 day: 2211 (this is why i am gaining weight lol...time to think around 2000 per day, not 2200)

___________________________________________

will do LEG EXERCISES tonight, four of them total with 3 sets each and most of them are done one leg at a time so i'm glad i separate legs from arms now. 

Leg exercises typically do not bother my legs when they are recovering from overuse...they are great exercises and i look forward to my 2 types of squats, lunges and toe raises!

legs tired, so no extra walking besides at lunch...and it means i can get home, get started on the leg exercies and get to bed at a more reasonable hour. need rest tonight! :)
