i have a meeting after work, starts at 6pm, right near where i live (less than 5 min away). hopefully it is only a half hour?! then i plan on the gym....cannot skip it....because i am not going tomorrow - i have physical therapy. i want to look good for physical therapy bc i have a crush - MAJOR crush - on the therapist. he is 42 and single and very, very cute....VERY cute. unfortunately, he's a flirt with all women - especially the old ladies - but he did make a joke the other day...saying "i am not saying you aren't cute!!!" hey, i'll take ANYTHING i can get! haha...gearing up for a late night tonight...probably a hot dog they give at the meetings before i go to the gym....perfect snack, actually!
5pm snack = almonds 100
1100 so far, good.
Progress as of today: -2 lbs lost so far, only 9 lbs to go!
600 cal breakfast, decaf med iced coffee, snack
12pm Early healthy large lunch back at home around 550
3pm snacking: cooked cabbage 50, large apple 150, almonds 150, almond milk with stevia and cinnamon 50. 400
1550 so far = good!
The orthopedic surgeon I saw was very good. He gave me a lot of great feedback. He said I do have compartment syndrome. He said no to surgery. Instead, he insisted I need to stretch out my calves every day and strengthen the anterior muscles in my shins. He said it could take 6 months to heal and that I will never be able to run for my choice exercise bc my body isn't built for it. He did say he thought it was possible to recover for the academy and that I could be able to do it - though might be difficult for me. If all works out and I can heal for January, I plan to do the academy and afterward just walk / elliptical for exercise. Doctor said I should do physically therapy and stretching and take it very seriously.
Around 1950-2000. Good!
Exercise physical therapy.

early 12pm lunch: 650 (all healthy)

Progress as of today: -2 lbs lost so far, only 9 lbs to go!
Around 2300 probably. A bit high but really tasty food and nice, sticky white Thai rice. A good change of pace and allowed myself to fully indulge in dinner. Calories may even be closer to 2300-2400 but probably not. It's hard to estimate when sauces are involved. Exercise was abs and....some walking at the mall! Surprisingly my legs held up better than expected. :). They have been feeling better these past few days so I told me friend I would be able to go to the mall especially since Monday I am going to the dr about the legs.

Friday was ok. At work I was just in a bad mood all day particularly bc my right wrist was bothering me from all the computer work. My plan is to stay away from it all weekend. I love the computer but cannot afford for my wrist to get much worse. Will be buying a better ergonomic mouse bc right now it's the right wrist particularly from using the mouse.
Calories were around 1850-1900. I was very overtired today.
Progress as of today: -2 lbs lost so far, only 9 lbs to go!
Wednesday: 1900 cal or so. Healthy. exercise was legs at gym near work & also physical therapy. no cardio.
I was able to make an appointment with a specialist orthopedic surgeon at NYU Medical Center in NYC for Monday! I will see him, show him my past MRI results & I also hope to get the test / set up an appointment for the compression test for Chronic Compartment Syndrome. I am excited about this appointment and also I know that if or if I don't have Compartment Syndrome, I will continue to be positive and persevere to get better.
Thursday: abs at lunch and weights in the evening (hoping not to get out of work too late...)
Breakfast & Snacks & Coffee: healthy and low calories... about 550.
Lunch: light! small wrap (on the very, very light side around 200 cal) and chips around 200 cal. 400 total
Total so far: 950....will try to keep it low & go to the gym for full upper body weights (didn't sleep well, but will still try to have a great workout tonight!!!) I did about 15-20 min abs at lunch :-D
Thursday's calories were around 1700. EXCELLENT. but, major caffeine overdose before gym and i wasn't feeling well, at all, and shouldn't try any more new energy drinks! haha
Progress as of today: -2 lbs lost so far, only 9 lbs to go!
Breakfast & Snacks = healthy 550. period cravings for chocolate / heavy things / fat...almost that i really need it...bc was getting dizzy / lightheaded in morning but feeling better now..
Progress as of today: -2 lbs lost so far, only 9 lbs to go!
Saturday: excellent upper body workout, but legs started hurting after and were hurting even more after I did a few errands for the day. 2400 cal. decent (glad it wasn't higher, but still too high for my activity levels)
Sunday: abs workout & upper legs. legs were in slight pain all day. around 2200 cal (hopefully not much more!)...decent calories but too high for low activity.
Monday: total was 2250. Happy President's Day! Today I have a dental cleaning, I hope to do weights at the gym (upper body), and I have my first appointment for physical therapy at the new place. Too busy really! I was going to also drive to return a bone stimulator to a dr office about a half hour away, but I don't think i'll be fitting it into the mix. They haven't called saying they want it back - so - I will hold on to it & plan to return it on a different weekday down the road that I have off....probably in a couple months from now, if not longer.
I have already done laundry today, and it's only 7:30am :-) It's good to go to bed early when you have a busy day ahead!
Monday Breakfast: wrap with pumpkin 100, and pumpkin butter 20, 1 egg and 2 egg whites 110, stevia, strawberries 80, cashew milk 70: 380, good!
In some ways, I pray that I have chronic "Compartment Syndrome" so that I can have the fasciatomy surgery and recover completely. I will definitely be taking the test for it, a pressure type test, as soon as I can get it....as soon as I get another appointment with the next doctor. Unfortunately, I have to also rely on my dad for this, good and bad, because he has the connection to the other doctor...it's been a year, so every bit more of waiting frustrates me because I want this under control ASAP.
snack: pb on wrap 250
snack: shake 200 at most.
around 850, perfecto.
lunch: big, lots of veggies and salads: around 600-650.
snack: fruit
dinner: too big, but good. veggies with some oil 200 at least, turkey on small wrap 150, pb on wrap 250: 650 or so forgot about the soy chips. make this 750
2250 or so. at least I did upper body today (strong workout).
Progress as of today: -2 lbs lost so far, only 9 lbs to go!
best part about today is i've only had 1,000 calories up to leaving work = wonderful because i'm gonna have a nice, big, tasty full of veggies dinner :-)
exercise: only 15 min of upper leg work.
total cal 1850, success.
dinner was massive....a Chinese soup dish, tons of veggies (cups and cups)....followed by an egg white omelette wrap and greek yogurt with stevia, cinnamon & pumpkin butter for dessert.
2am strawberries middle of the night into Saturday = around 50 more.
total is 1900, still good. (I knew I'd probably be waking up because I was doing that these past few days)
Progress as of today: -2 lbs lost so far, only 9 lbs to go!
I went to work Thursday despite the storm & did very well calorie-wise. around 2050.
lately, as long as I have healthy choices, I meet my calorie goals.
exercise: abs at home in my apartment. I wasn't in the mood to go to the gym at 5pm and get home later after that. so instead I did some laundry so now I don't have to think about it again until Monday :-) because I am off that day for President's Day! yay!
