_____________________________________________
i got my laundry done earlier, between going back to sleep on and off...and that's really all i want to do now...perhaps i'll have some coffee to get a move in....like BCGG was saying, perhaps i need the coffee for some motivation here to get going!
Once again, it's going to be a busy week. Originally, my plan was to exercise tonight but i'm sore from loads of walking yesterday and know that having a rest day is what is better in this case!
I also know that i need to pick up kombucha, more fruit, more veggies, and more meat - maybe more beef for more burgers since i really enjoyed eating beef last week, i think i need it more as of late! :) Meat can wait, i don't want to cook it.
I don't want to run errands all afternoon, so i'll try to be relatively quick with it. I may also pick up some prepared food, because i'd rather follow my food by bringing it from home because when i buy it at lunch, i usually buy more than i would eat if it was from home...kinda hard not to, being hungry, eating with my eyes :)...also, it's better to spend money buying food once, not everyday at work.

Oldest came and let me know that the dishwasher wasn't draining, so it did take me an hour or so to research it and get it fixed. Youtube actually had a video of dismantling our exact model and pointing out the typical issues that could cause it to stop draining.
Anyways, good job on being consistent as usual.
Kombucha, not much..not even worth counting calories for it :)
Meeting friend at "Think Coffee" in Chelsea first....

I have all my home gym equipment now...i need to finish setting it up & will do a workout tonight...trying to simulate most of what i do at the gym...happy not to go out to gym & to work out in any outfit i feel like, even if it looks bad..
..so glad to work out in my house...it saves literally like an hour of typically wasted time when i'm going out to gym at night.

6day: 2140
contemplating skipping gym, but see no reason really to skip a home workout!? i think tonight i'll start a home workout...nah, tomorrow night wil be the start date...need sleep and early bedtime tonight.
stayed at work a little late to make up for taking a longer lunch...friend from Australia is touring and stopped by to have lunch with me and one other coworker!
decided to walk by supermarket when i was almost home, gather from produce as i'm really low...and take the night off exercise :)
tomorrow i may work out at home after work, instead of driving to the gym, almost 100% sure on this!
____________________________________________
I might work out for the first time tonight at home...supposed to get my last delivery of equipment today. I will only attempt a home workout once all equipment is available that i have ordered bc i want it simple and right from the start. :)
It would be WAYYYY better than going out to the gym, I'll tell you that!
This is the reason I got equipment for a home workout - it's been increasingly hard to drive out to it 2x a week during the work week after a day of work. It becomes tiring and wasted time to leave apt again and come home again. just wasted travel time, even if it's only overall 30 wasted minutes, it's still 30 wasted minutes (round trip).
Working out at home will be a slightly lower intensity, but it'll get done...and that's what i need.
if i don't feel right about working out tonight as i got poor sleep, i'll do it Friday instead.
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
i do not see anything wrong with knowing it's that day, taking off because i am that faith, but observing it how i want to :)
4pm Edit: so far I cooked up eggs and also the packages of chicken and beef burgers I had before they spoil...I also roasted some potatoes. the cauli rice will wait till another time as i still have leftover veggies for friday and tomorrow i'm going out for lunch (yes i'll work tomorrow) bc a friend from Australia female i know is coming and i've invited my coworkers to meet her!... Later tonight I'll prob make cauli fried rice
9AM wrap 100, 1 pc salami and one hard boiled egg 100, large portion avocado 150, strawberries 50. 400..kombucha 100 perhaps will make me feel better...
12;30 lunch: veggies and some dressing 200, tofu 100, wrap 100, and i think goldfish crackers 100. 500.
almost 3pm before bikng & jogging: couple kashi dark chocolate chip oatmeal cookies (will not buy again because they are not single packaged and that's part of the reason i ate 2 and not one) and coffee 300 total.
I may not even cook, may just come home from jogging and read and eat leftovers. not sure how the time goes so fast! it's almost 3pm already..
.i'll go out soon to exercise, first coffee and a little reading.
Glad at got my laundry done...the next time i do it will be next Saturday a week from this one i think!
during run big banana 150
Dinner: beef burger i made 250 tops and italian bread leftovers good amount 200? then some ice cream also 250. total: 700, good
total is just fine: 2150 - fine especially considering i did some exercise! whenever i add in cardio (jogging) i burn MUCH more calories. i'm not worried like at all...!
5day: 2130 or so :) good!
exericise: 20-25 minutes on bike, just over a mile jogged, a mile or so walked
rest of the day i was reading / relaxing on couch...as well as ordering gifts, paying bills. was a GREAT day off. not rushed at all!
___________________________________________________________________________________
Today i could have fasted in observance with Yom Kippur but instead, i have chosen to observe the day of fast and forgiveness of sins by taking off work and doing some necessary chores like laundry, cleaning up and organizing mail, something i like to do but don't do enough like cooking, and also a bike/jog at the nearby track because it's a challenge to fit in when i'm working the typical 5 days a week and it's been my goal to improve this month...which i am totally enjoying doing.
I won't be running around too much today, because on Saturday i will have a really busy day doing tourist stuff with a female friend from Australia that is touring NYC for a second time. :) she asked if i had time to spend with her...and i gladly accomodated!
If i were to fast and sit home with parents, i'd be behind in my fitness goals and fasting just wastes muscle and tires the body more...it's not in the cards for this year. i honestly feel God would rather see me planning / reaching for my goals and challenging myself to be better in the way i have chosen to use this day. This holiday occurs 8 days after the New Year, which was 8 days ago :)
__________________________________________________________
Life is give and take. I will have VERY minimal days off after this month until January when i'm picking up my suitcase and traveling to Florida for two weeks to stay with a friend. I am going to message her today, to let her know again that during the week, my goal is to get to the gym 3x a week and continue with my routines...I'm going there to get out of this cold place.
Down the road, perhaps i can visit her annually, if it goes well this time, as a nice respite from NYC Winters! :) She is a traveling friend of mine. Although i'm only 36, i am planning to travel with her again perhaps when i'm turning 40, or maybe earlier. It Depends how training is going and depends on my occupation and if there are changes before i am 40 ! She's a great friend and i'm glad she has always invited me down to Florida.

when fasting, it's best if you attend temple on that day, for you will be distracted of your hunger by the service and have all around you at the temple fasting too. also my parents do well, together fasting, watching it at home...
i just couldn't do it. once in awhile, i do it more as a health task for my body to take a break, eat well later that night...but i only enjoyed it when i was with my parents observing together.
i couldn't fathom taking a vacation day off work to FAST. not this year, i oberserved the holiday how i could :) thanks for your thoughts, appreciated!! and agree for now.

You've been sleeping more and I'm the opposite lately. Second day in a row that I've woken up at 4am-ish for no good reason (6 or 7 hours of sleep).
i was having poor sleep end of last week / early this week....and now i feel as though i can sleep for days...i think it's my way of my body just trying to calm itself / reset.
A few years ago, i got really, really sick (was out of work a month) due to high stress and horrible sleep. seems that i do well with rest. i think it's my body's way of resetting itself...and preventing sickness.
Donkey on 09/29/2018:
I completely understand the discomfort of the boundaries between work and home blending a little too close together. It might be something you get used to, and/or things could change.
Have fun at the gym this weekend!
i will be out very soon :) sunshine and a wonderful fall day to be outside :)
