___________________________________________________________________________
I want progress on Fitness in September, but instead it might just turn to maintenance as the last couple weeks i've only been to the gym 2x instead of 3x due to my own choice mostly.
It's been a VERY busy week - activities every single night and home around 8pm every single night, i'm glad that i have tons of leftovers and food at home so that i have been not using additional money on lunches here at work.
For a week that was supposed to be easy with gym days, i've been so distracted with other events that were both optional and necessary, that i've skipped the gym since the weekend. I have definitely had one less gym day this week. but that's in the past. and i can only go to the gym tonight at my earliest convenience, before i drop off old license plates at my dad's work so he receives them from me tomorrow!...of course another errand before gym this week!...and just keep on.
Nothing is perfect. Life is not always as planned. Things come up. That's the theme of this week.
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
Kombucha 50
bar and coffee 250, chocolates 150
snack: cauliflower cake with salami was tasty. 300 and helped me use the bathroom woohoo...tmi :)
lunch: the rest of the 4 cauliflower cakes at 50 cal each...200 :) with an egg 100, cooked bok choy 150 and a plum 50. 500 i'll say. coffee too.
snack: ready for sleep, will run outta here as soon as possible, perhaps getting a haircut before i go home. ended up getting haircut instead of gym...but really it's ok as i was going to get the haircut thursday...i fell to temptation...but, it's my life. at least i have a few really great gym sessions to come..tomorrow will be GREAT. and i can put all my new weightlifting stuff together with R this coming week...ah well, another skipped session this week. too many distractions.
Peanuts 150
8pm Snack 1: choc cherry 80, dark chocolate protein bar that is more natural than anything thankfully 240. 320
too late for gym... was going...going...and thought some more and will just have to skip because it's not fun getting very little sleep and heading into a very busy weekend. just cannot.
8:30pm snack2 after a nice shower: banana and pb 200, wrap 100. 300 approx.
2050 total...i can't believe i haven't been to gym since freaking Saturday. not cool.
5day: 2155, good.

gym tonight. last night i ended up at a meeting that ended after 7pm, home around 8pm too much on a night i was hoping to be home early, i don't wanna explain right now. we aren't always "free" in our lives. if you can understand that. meaning, as long as i rely on my dad and others, i'm not "free" to always do as i want...that is life. but it sucked last night.

Bed whenever :) at a more reasonable hour tonight :)
Wednesday will be A GOOD GYM DAY!
________________________________________
I am working to CONTINUE making MAJOR changes in my life this year. It WILL require that I remember i need to schedule ample time to attain certain goals. With a new start of school year in my area and my bday approaching, my mind jumps to my own progress and goals. I am now able to run a mile decently. The only goal i have is to get BETTER at it. FASTER. I know how. I'm doing well. All i have to do is keep practicing. For this first time in many years, I'm really improving without having major setbacks...it feels wonderful.
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
Happy Labor Day :-P
Skipped breakfast bc wasn't really hungry at all and figured i really splurged yesterday anyway!
Morning Snacks coffee and churro marshmallow treats i found bc got ravenous so had a few before driving home 200, plum 50
11am Brunch: English Muffin 100, 1/4 avocado 100, salami 100 sooo darn good. 300 needed this mix of carbs, fat & protein :) hits the spot, you know!? small bag lays chips 200
snack: whipped cream (back on the kick for awhile, yes) and sf jello 150.
Plans for eating at the party: mostly veggies, a frank if they cook them...diet soda / water...i could always have a small serving of chips, but that's it...not overdoing it there as my cals for the week are already higher than i'd like...!
before jog and bike..did this when i got home around 7pm...worked out so well!
cauliflower bread 100 with avocado 100 and chicken 200, plum 50. 450...craving ice cream..100.
2200, excellent
________________________________________________
Up and at 'em early...went for a MAJOR food shopping around 9am and home by 10:30am :) Went to a larger supermarket and loaded up on my favorites, snacks, fruits, veggies, and a package of ground chicken to make some healthy burgers for this week.
I am in the midst of having another busy few weeks in September before my birthday which is Sept. 9th so i bought enough things so that i only need to shop now for perishables each week...basically. loaded up on "fun items and snacks" so i'm good for awhile now..until the weekend surely.
_______________________________________________
I haven't had enough recovery time from my last workout this past Saturday so i'm going to do CARDIO today. which is even more important :) there will be an emphasis on CARDIO this month especially thru the New Year. :)
_____________________________________________
Seller on EBAY doesn't want to sell me the $30 workout bench lol bc they said it's not good enough anymore to sell !? so i'll have to look again on both AMAZON and facebook deals that are local :) I also will need to buy more workout equipment, gradually.. i need the longer weight bar in addition to the dumbells...the BARBELL so i can also squat at home with weights. i'm splurging a bit as of late and will hvae to go into my savings to cover the purchases...i may have to change how i'm saving my funds to 401k so that my paycheck is a little bigger so i can perhaps add to my current savings that i draw from...i should increase the money in the account i think...but for now i think i'll just pull from it to cover some purchases...and NEXT YEAR maybe i'll lessen my 401k contributions...we'll see...it's better to save now but lately i am DEF spending more than i have in my checking to cover..not a big deal...but i have to decide to either spend less or make up for it a different way.
______________________________________________
around 2:30, i'm going to a bbq...not staying crazy long and bringing loads of veggies. tomorrow is a new week & weekend is going to be busy coming up...so i'd like to start this week tomorrow on a positive note :)
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
i think the seller is playing games. i went back online to see the product they are no longer selling...they had raised the price from $30 to $55....i think the just want us to pay more for the same thing...either way, i bought one from Amazon instead...no games for me!
A big part of me still wishes I were a runner -- or rather, that I ran regularly. I just don't know if my back will let me fulfill that desire any more... but I wasn't ready to give up my running dream by ruining my shoes quite yet.
i am sooo happy that i am getting physically so much better now and it seems like it's a goal worth reaching for...
i know what you mean by saving things...like the sneakers...however, i'm glad you are wearing them now...don't save...live your life now as you can...what i mean is, do what you are capable of now...and try not to "save things" for later for when you can...
Breakfast: cauli wraps 200, kombucha soon... :)
Candies 150
Chips 300 yellow peppers 100 croissant With bacon and egg 600 coffee 50
Orange and candies and tomAtoes 150
1650.....too much lol big eating day it's perfectly ok tho
dinner: tofu 160, rice 250, veggies in sauce 250?...650
dessert later on: 250
2550. yup.
2day 2325...yuck!
tomorrow i'm going to a bbq but plan to stay only a short, brief time to come home & go to bed early tomorrow night. i also don't want to eat all day there. lastly, i'll pick up veggies to bring and make a veggie tray so we have food to fill up on that is not high calorie.
___________________________________________
I ordered this cool thing on Amazon. It's a wrap made of cauliflower and egg/cheese. Great taste. good purchase. each one is only 50 cal, they are small. good ratio of fats/carbs/proteins. i had 4 of them for a tasty breakfast. like panakes.
Off to beach with C...just need to shower and shave first....getting a move on...she'll be here in around 25min!
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
...my parents are members of a beach club and go almost every single weekend, many times both days, in the summertime! they both still work, so it's weekends only for them.
i don't go near as often as they do. they are much closer to the beach, around 20-25 minutes away whereas it takes me closer to an hour.

i believe the brand is "OUTER AISLE"
I haven't been online much the past couple days...will catch up on your diaries soon!
________________________________________________________________

2 bananas while working out / caffeine also 250 (biking and gym were from around 1:30-4:30, excellent workout.
early 5pm dinner: leftover chinese 1 pan fried dumpling pork 150 egg 100, iceburg lettuce, chinese veggies in sauce 250. 500. 2 plums 100 AND DOING LAUNDRY...so it doesn't drive me crazy for the rest of the weekend until Monday night right before work that wouldn't be good at all!
1600...
2100, good
____________________________________________________________________
Soon gym. at 1pm i should be there and workin' out..that's the plan for this AM. And biking both there and back....R fixed my bike breaks and i didn't think he could i didn't even know that they could be moved all around...he fixed everything for the BETTER (as usual it becomes better) ...fixed them yesterday prob took him like 1.5hours...we were just sitting outside near his garage. easy peasy. nice to get out of work early to have made all the plans possible with R yesterday!
Laundry in afternoon
out to a beach concert / playing shuffleboard / walking around with R tonight.
It will be minimal food shopping / planning this weekend & for the coming week...will keep it simple and easier. I have leftovers also in my fridge for today thru the end of this weekend...just need minimal items for the 4day week ahead..i can pick things up on Monday.
I JUST PURCHASED AS A GIFT TO MYSELF FOR MY BDAY: WEIGHT BENCH, SET OF DUMBELLS, SET OF FRACTIONAL WEIGHTS SO I CAN ACTUALLY INCREASE GRADUALLY LIFTING FROM 30LBS TO 35LBS, WORKING POUND BY POUND...SHOULD BE GREAT THIS YEAR. NOW WHEN IT SNOWS OR I DON'T WANNA GO OUT TO GYM, I CAN EXERCISE AT HOME. NO EXCUSES :)IT WILL STILL BE EASIER AT HOME / DIFFERENT AT HOME, BUT A NECESSARY CHANGE TO ONLY WORKING OUT AT THE GYM. NOW I HAVE A SECONDARY CHOICE.
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
My older, noisy recumbent bike sat in my basement for a couple of years before I decided to start actually using it -- and I used THAT to help me lose all my weight this time. When we got the new, quiet recumbent bike (for my husband, ha ha), there it sat for about a month, until I decided I would start using it for variation at night. I haven't used my mom's treadmill, but I think when the weather turns colder, I'll plug it back in and start doing a mile a day.
The fractional weights are a good idea -- especially for the goals you want to accomplish. Excellent!
2120, 7 day avg, decent :)
Coworkers went out to celebrate the weekend and one brought her daughter so we went out to a nyc NYC buffet: Scrambled egg whites 100, sautéed spinach and garlic 100, beef sausage bite and full turkey sausage 150, a nice big fried hashbrown 250, the best iced coffee with milk 50…650-700.

snack: decaf coffee and chocolates 200
Ricky did some awesome adjustments to my bike...
then we watched a short movie, free on amazon prime :)...
now i'm home chilling. was gonna do laundry, but it never happened. gym didn't happen because weekend plans changed and i was tired after work and knew i'd rather wait till tomorrow, now that i'm free, to exercise when i'm not as overtired!
snacking at home before bed 300 plum and a natural bar of higher fat and some protein and carbs, a healthy natural bar.
2050-2100, wow, excellent!
did at least avg walking today. didn't sit around all day. decent.
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!

__________________________________________
Aside from still struggling to leave exactly on time each morning which is per usual lol, I am doing VERY well this week with organization and sticking to my goals! My schedule and planning has paid off 100%. Tonight is the gym & I feel very good today. I have been able to sleep decently both Monday & Tuesday nights. All is good.
I have a healing large pimple on my face, and i wish it were gone but it's sorta due to me picking with it that it looks so red lol...i have a retirement party to attend with many administration there, which is why i am worried about it - but there's always foundation and cover up! i'll do that...tomorrow...before heading out with coworkers to the event. !!!
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
Good job on your scheduling / planning. I really need to sit down and figure out a plan of attack with an end goal. I've been putting it off until the girls / wife head back to school next Tuesday. It should be much easier to get myself into a routine when they're back in a regular routine schedule again.
Planning for me has gotten better with experience and knowing my limits better.
pimples i still deal with even at 35...hormones. women i think face it more than men...your story sounds embarassing...i also had an embarassing first pimple but am lucky i ate well as a kid/teen and my face wasn't full of pimples. i'm lucky for that, probably genetically too.
Sounds like this C dude is a bozo.
and i also know that yawning both relaxes the body and helps us take in air because we need it...not necessary bc there's a lack of oxygen in the room!!!!! it's maybe because WE'D like more...just dumb statements.
he's 28 and a moron who think she knows it all...i left and saw him walking to the elevator...but made believe i didn't see him and closed the door before he came out of his side of the office to enter. serves him right because i don't have patience for someone who is blatently rude towards others, rolls his eyes at me...and says stupid things all the time.
2075 4day, Good!

______________________________________________
There's this guy at work that's really opinionated. I realize he likes the last word and doesn't like confrontation or someone that would debate with him...he likes people to agree. I plan on ignoring his presense from here on out as he's 29 and frankly some of his opinions are quite stupid ...i give up...i realize i just need to ignore him and not bring up my views (on diet and food for instance) as he's not gonna hear them. he's extremely close-minded. i'm over it. he doesn't even work with me at all...just pops in...so i realize i gotta mind my business and not his. no more talking with him. he doesn't have my respect. i will not be ignored and frowned upon ever again for stating my view bc it's different form his...not cool. he's a real baby and i do not like his attitude. sorry, had to write it here. i have done good keeping my mouth shut over it in the office.
Because if i keep talking to him and riding his views with my own, the only thing that i'm going to face is MORE dissappointment when he ignores my comments. I have to refrain talking to him for my own wellbeing and comfort...unless i want to keep feeling ignored! i have learned this. no more chatting to C. he's a demeaning idiot.

Union Meeting Tonight, 6pm, home and bed after that.

Thursday night retirement party
Friday i'll be happy it's the weekend, big gym workout is my plan...

Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
you can't even try to win against the folks that have behaved this way for LIFE...they are wayyyy to skilled...as is the guy who works on my floor. just horrible personality. where'd he get it from because he actually ROLLS his eyes at people...on purpose...like he can't help it. he's despicable.

That's the way many of my weeks go. I end up running so many small errands throughout the week that I don't end up getting many of the things accomplished that I'd like to. And unlike you this week, I've often used that hurried schedule as an excuse for over-eating junk.
My life did slow down a bit over the last weekend, but instead of doing something productive, I just wanted to sit in front of the TV and vegetate.....
sometimes you need to veg, but there needs to be a plan for when you aren't going to...haha...i wish i didn't skip gym again this week...it makes me lethargic and sluggish and upset when i don't plan right. just a tiring week.
it's the worst when all the day's activities prevent a good workout or you're left sitting on your a** bc all the activities you go to are that way...that's been my week. lol...next week should be better.
BearCountryGG on 09/06/2018:
Nerve wracking when someone won't hut up!!!!
grrrrr....needing some space this week lol.
happy-1 on 09/06/2018:
Sounds like a lot of coworkers are bugging you... Hugs.
It's the same one that I have been complaining about just one thankfully !!!
