This week will have to have higher cals...because it seems that limiting them (as i want to do) is working to the opposite effect on me...the structure and demands i'm putting on myself is making me want to eat more....so....dealing.
Digestion is also very off this week : / ....oh well. I need to maybe buy Kombucha tonight in order to have a stronger drink tomorrow morning...and also, must get up earlier bc there's more traffic on the roads as NYC schools started today.

was happy to cook this AM!
got everything prepared and now it's not spoiling & i dont have to spend $$$$$$
Early Morning: kombucha 2 servings and seltzer with stevia 60.
I bought a chicken last week and totally am throwing it out...good thing the rotisserie bird was not more than $4.99 - still a waste of $ but i don't tend to eat much meat all week for many months now...I bought it Friday & might throw the thing out as I bought it end of day and was prob cooking all afternoon that day...not good to eat so many days later...

So...ran into the elevator today only to stop at another floor in my bldg. In the elevator steps a guy in gym clothes so i asked if he was going to the gym this morning. He said no, physical therapy...haha...i asked where!? he said the name of the place where Paul works. I said...who's your PT...he tells me Paul!!!!!!!
So i asked him to tell Paul that "Jackie Says HI!" haha...
Paul is probably ready to KILL me at this point perhaps!
What a coincidence.
My whole problem around Paul is that there's been no other guy that meets his standards - i haven't been impressed by ANY other men which is why i keep focusing back on him.
But it isn't healthy.
Truth is, I really don't have time for my friends, best friend, family & a relationship & THE GYM & getting into the NYPD.
So it is what it is & i'll enjoy being single (and not sleeping with anyone as i don't have the time it seems...) It's good i got that part out of my system this past April (1st time in 11 months). It seems that these next few years are going to be more a focus on me than anything else. And a focus that is nothing short of determination past getting into too many situations which are going to bring me down physically - no time for any injuries.
Although I will go on a trip in October, possibly the last trip...
And i may just get myself into the Academy 6 months earlier, if i must...because this is just too much hassle with my job i am thinking....
no work at work...slow....
Thinking to MAYBE kickstart my leg stuff which seems a bad idea, but keep it going, and if i feel good, I will leave my job Dec. 1st. and enter the academy right after the New Year. This seems almost reasonable...will be thinking about this...instead of entering in July '17...this could be really a good thing. Just need my focus.
I just hope to find someone that I'm truly attracted to on the INSIDE and OUTSIDE..there's a guy i'm into but only on inside - i don't want to settle. i can't. i want to wake up knowing there's someone i love that i love on the OUTSIDE and inside. Love should be both. I don't want to "grow" to love someone on the outside...it's not fair to me in my opinion.
i feel this way because i put in work to myself...and the guy i want - he should put in work too...and, he should be as good looking (average) as i am...i don't want to settle as corny or selfish as this may sound.
it's just something that i feel.
i need to find someone that i like for both - not just the inside and not just the outside.
Yes, I'm moving on. In general, moving on in ANYTHING and EVERYTHING in life is hard for me to do.
Change is difficult for me.
Yes, i need to move on.

yes it does help to vary our calorie intake. Yes dealing J is the key to success. Subway is making a lot of money with you lately... lol Enjoy your day.
and InnerPeace i think is also buying Subway! lol....and it's nothing special...but prices....hahahaha for bread and salty veggies...$3.50 they still make $$$$$$ haha...yes, i gotta deal with my choices. :-D
grannyannie on 09/08/2016:
