I ordered a dress from Old Navy clothing store and it's broken (you know how dresses many times have a button at the back of the neck? the stretchy holder /closure to close the button is halfway ripped off on one side, so the dress cannot be buttoned at the top of my neck)...but instead of returning it, i've chosen to get it fixed at a local seamstress shop because the money / time wasted in return is not worth it...the fix should be $10 or less hopefully. it's not a big problem, so i'll fix it because it's worth it as i like the dress and don't wanna deal with returns, etc. with Old Navy store.

this weekend has turned more restful as certain plans are CANCELED. i am not upset, i could use some extra lounging. I was also gonna skip my jogging, but now i can do it - which is quite wonderful.
Friday or Saturday: plans to jog (prob getting it done after work on friday as I think we're getting out early for the holiday weekend). I like to do this 1x a week jog before the weekend starts.
Saturday also - I feel like i'm forgetting something...laundry i think? gotta be something else? Picnic plans are canceled with friends - nobody could make it. I'm not upset, i don't mind a slower weekend.
Sunday - visit grandma, short concert at a library!, gym
Monday Memorial Day off from work - restful morning / early afternoon...dinner and Broadway show in NYC with my friend who lives in my community here....looking forward!!!!!!!
Tuesday - having all windows replaced (mandatory per building) and taking the day off for that!. nice to be outta work all day, for sure!

Took sleeping pill last night as I was tired and not feeling productive at all yesterday, seems it was an ok idea. i was in bed early around 8? and woke around 7am. i feel good. Body feels way better than yesterday when my legs were very sore from jogging the day before. Still debating if my walk/jog plans are going to interfere with gym and the answer is prob yes. I don't want to go to gym less, but i may have to :-(
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
You could still go and work on upper body, core, or a specific (upper) body part like your back.
I hope this makes sense...
i'm going to have to cool it i think with the weights. it's sad....grrrr....maybe i'll have to force myself to take a month off ? because i will soon need to focus solely on the jogging....ugh. only bc of nypd.
i'm still in the process of figuring things out regarding all of this. next weekend i've decided to actually NOT jog and just enjoy the holiday weekend. i think.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I woke up last night 2am hungry, so i ate. I already factored it into my weekly total and today i'm starting fresh with calorie counting & not including the small snack i had at 2am. Seems i needed it - and more carbs & potassium lately.
On the positive:
All in all, i am confident in myself. At work, things have calmed down. I walk around with my head up, full of confidence & ready to stand up for myself against the bullies and stupid, ignorant woman that stand for bullying in their clique. Most women are nice, but it's generally (yes, it's like that in the workplace) the big-mouth nasty bullies get their way in this company. They speak up and stand together as a big bullying group against single one-manned people such as myself.
I am eager to jog in the warm sun tomorrow after work, eager for my gym workout tonight, eager to wear shorts during tomorrow's jog as the weather is above 80 for tomorrow and over 90 today!!!!....!!!!....and eager for my haircut on Sunday. lots of good to look forward to. I'll be visiting my grandmother on the weekend also.
This weekend the plan is for typical stuff...no social plans as I am more eager for gym, errands, grandma, haircut, laundry, food shopping, etc. No time that i am eager to spend socializing since i'm already busy with a bit this weekend.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
One piece of negativity rolling around in my mind:
They (BULLIES) are a disgrace to the human race. Adult women who do not think for themselves. And allow their husbands & social friends to tell them how & what to think! Are they really this stupid. It saddens me. One girl in my dept...she constantly talks of doing things...because her boyfriend does. It makes me SICK. Is she not capable of using her own brain? or is her own brain simply spoiled bc of the unfortunate clique she is in? Is her mind so dumbed down that she can only think as others tell her? What a disgrace to the human race bullies / friends of bullies / cliques are. A MAJOR DISGRACE!
I learned - Don’t trust cliques of women especially if you know a woman is in the clique…better off never chatting with them (they have their clique and that’s enough). If a woman is extra friendly and in a clique…steer clear…they are acting. This is what I learned in the last two months here (mid March thru mid May now). …cliques function with a “group brain,” not a real brain that they use of their own. The act and do as the entire clique agrees to act / do.
This makes me want to vomit. However, I do realize that DEF NOT ALL women / people are like me (I’m in the minority) and that I DO NEED to understand that MOST PEOPLE do NOT have my personal mindset. And I do realize to function in society, I need to have an open mind for people….but also need to maintain some of my privacy as well.
2am thurs: banana 120, honey 30, pb 100, wrap 100: 350. was hungry / restless
2133 5day average, fine. lately i have a HUGE appetite.
______________________________________
6am: Home: 70
8am: Breakfast: wrap 100, cream cheese 100, lox 100, coffee 50, banana bigger 130
10:30am: snack: small egg AND COOKIE lol 100. eating more sugar lately but also sleeping more...but also doing good with activity....sounds reasonable and good!
Noon: Bigger, very satisfying lunch with caffeine afterwards: cabbage 100, carrots in some hot oil 150, lots of soy meats hope to throw the rest out tonight i think i'm eating too much of it? 250 at least, chips 150: 650 approx. decent.
1400 after a healthy, larger lunch. i am once again craving extra veggies! A coworker gave me some more today! i'll eat them for dinner since he gave me them after lunch (his wife is an EXCELLENT cook!)
Snack:another cookie, 120....lately i want to eat more but i think the increase in exercise has caused it - starting my jogging that is!

tonight my plan is to relax after work, maybe make more turkey burgers and throw out the rest of my soy meat as i don't like to eat tons of soy anyways!
Pick up cleaners shirts after work at cleaners - forgot all last week. and pick up library book today also.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
cleaning lady never came yesterday - i got an email from the coordinator that she got jammed up with something?...that's fine....doesn't phase me as i didn't "need" a cleaning, just wanted it. my apt is already quite clean. just a hair dusty. and floors could use a washing in kitchen / bath. but overall it's not like i have things all over the place :-P
so i emailed the coordinator back - that i don't want to make up a day for this month - that i just wanna shedule early next month instead (i'm busy enough - i don't gotta make up fo the cleaning lady's error too...she can come next month after the construction is done in my apt - mandatory window replacements in building so next week i have to come to work late on thursday when maintenance removes my blinds...then i have to take a day off on the 30th when windows are repaced with new....lots of time off work bc of this...but of course now i'll have new windows....but it's annoying i had to be off work (it's mandatory i'm in apt during all phases of the project)
So instead of having to reschedule cleaning lady with all of this - she can come when everything is done...when all maitenance and window stuff is DONE.
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
2024 4-day average = great :-)
Happy Tuesday! Things are good so far. Supposedly cleaning lady is in my apt right now cleaning....i am sure she'll do a nice job, as usual.

_______________________________________________________________
Today after work: dentist appt - i must leave work on time at 4:30pm
No other activities scheduled. I have tons of food at home. Laundry def done. No gym or walking. Perfect.
I will have to clean up, not much, for cleaning lady who comes approx 1x per month (sometimes even less than that). She's coming Tuesday morning. Really there's not much for her to clean in terms of organizing...just dusting, cleaning of floors, bathroom is really what i need....i'm not too messy a person. I tend to sometimes clean / vaccuum between cleanings when i feel the need. Really i could have held off, but it's been awhile with this cleaning service & i love this apt and feel the need to keep it organized and clean as I will live here for life. I don't ever plan on moving out. It's too good - as long as maintenance always is this good - housing maintenance i mean! Building and grounds are kept up so well - better than most places in Queens.
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
Have you ever checked out the 5.11 stores? I went to one today. Some of the clothes were cute and super well made and the staff was super helpful. They're targeted at crossfit and off-duty military and police. The guys helped me repack my bag and find the mising gear items I needed
i'm doing better with being quiet at work as boss wanted. and i leave at 4:30 on the dot because who in their right mind would stay overtime at a job with a boss that's nasty and i have to worry about even saying hi to someone!

See a dermatologist, wash your makeup brushes and you can use the 90% alcohol to break down a palette, sanitize the powder and reconstitute them into a travel kit in an altoids tin.
a lot of my acne is because of my eating / drinking choices. Too much caffeine and also too much sugary stuff at times. and also my aggressive forms of workout = high stress on my body as well as the stress i had at work (which is finally over wahoo!). Finally i am not anymore stressed by my boss / his admin thank the lord that work isn't causing me a heart attack anymore. It was that way for practically two months! I'm so glad i am NOT in the spotlight anymore! WAHOOO!
It feels good to by OFF the **** list! damn it took so long to get off....i've learned my lesson to just keep my mouth shut i guess. lol.
oh...thank you for the suggestions...i DO need to clean the brushes....and use the powders in a cleaner way....i have work to do.....and i must wash the brush tonight. should have done it yesterday...maybe i'll wash it this morning...after i use it, of course! haha. thanks happy...your suggestions were great. acne is mostly my hormonal fault of bad choices. i am lessening the caffeine again. i don't think i'll drink any today. sick of it.
