planning to enjoy the night, head to bed soon, shower and finishing packing in the morning since i'm not getting picked up until 12:30pm to go to the airport, i'd rather finish in the morning the packing bc i cannot think about it right now, almost 8pm...just gonna rest and sleep! :)
_______________________________________________________
Today's my last day of work before flying out at 2pm to Florida tomorrow. I'll get there around 6pm, my friend Rosie and her Husband Kareem will pick me up at the FLL airport :)
I have to remember to pack some makeup / foundation tonight, as well as a nair clipper / scissor, and jewelery! Those are basically the things i haven't already packed from the previous weekend when i was packing :)
I don't have to wake up early tomorrow bc i am being picked up by taxi to airport at noon. :) This is good because i haven't slept great the past two nights :) and it'll be nice to wake up later tomorrow morning :-) ..and i have a goal to try to pack just about everything and close the suitcase and other travel bag completely before the night ends tonight. Then, i can simply relax tomorrow leading up to the flight :)
I've considered taking sleeping pills with me. I do want to...like my first night in florida, at their place, if she works on that thursdy, i'd appreciate just being able to sleep till they are outta the condo...then just get to the gym. that's my goal for Thursday.
Friday only goal is to meet up with a friend for a walk at Hollywood Beach which is near Fort Lauderdale where i'm staying.
So, basically, i have plans for the first two days, simple and relaxed. The folks i'm staying with don't know these plans - lol - so these plans may change! ...but for now, that's the tentative plans :)
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!

after workout (workouts have been terrible lately, but better than skipping any more...pushpus are so bad!) : Protein bar that tasted good. 250, and now i'll stop eating...(i could have binged now, but that wouldn't be smart)...must be the traveling anxiety...? anyways, feeling good and bed is calling my name... :) The workout practiccally took from 8-10:30, i need to strengthen up!
2200 :)
3day avg:
then a nice, sleepy bedtime for me! ...looking forward to cuddling up with myself in my bed lol...
_______________________________________________________________________
Last night i did a smart thing! On my way home, before getting on the bus to take me into my neighborhood, I got a nice, tasty new coffee from Starbucks called the nitro. It's literally nitrogen whipped into coffee. It's a whipped coffee, no cals. It doesn't even need milk if you don't want to add it because with stevia it tastes amazing as is!
After the coffee, as soon as i got into my apt, i took my jacket off and started up with laundry right away. It wasn't too much and i'm glad i did it.
After that, i started up the veggie soup using the remainder of my fresh root veggies (carrots and parsnips, also an onion) mixed with 2 cups bone broth and 4 cups regular chicken broth. I didn't add any extra spices as i'm content on a chicken soup flavor right now and the soup mixes are are already flavored.
I also decided to just do it ;)....and broiled up a package of turkey burgers i had bought to cook for close to before i go away, so i have good protein to eat now. I'm glad i didn't waste those. I had one for dinner :)
Have a good day all, the caffeine yesterday helped me to get a lot done last night, perfect way to end the Sunday night. I wasn't even tired doing it....but went to bed late so i'm tired this AM hahaha.
______________________________________________________________________
I have a weights workout tonight, then i'm done till i do another one in Florida. Maybe Thursday.
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
i will be happy to have things at home that taste fine and i can bring to work. and healthy and low cal...and $$$ friendly! yes, YES!
Alongside the "Nitro" with infused nitrogen, they need to come out with the "Urkel" and infuse it with helium. (Steve Urkel - Family Matters reference)
Good job staying consistent. Florida vacation so close you can probably taste it.....
thanks, Grains. having a tired, hungry day but just going along with it and enjoying it...

LOL on the YouTube!
Happy Sunday! Hoping you are all having a wonderful weekend.
9am Oatmeal 150, almond milk 50, craisins 50, stevia, cinnamon..icelandic yogurt 130...hair of kombucha 20..
11am I never ate the wrap i brought, so, i will eat it for breakfast tomorrow. shouldn't have really spoiled as it wasn't hot today. lol. instead i had pb cheese crackers. 200 and a seltzer.
3pm we ate, had a big meal that made me sleepy for the commute back home from NYC but it was healthy. rice 300, fried tofu 300 and veggies big portion 300. 900 around, tops.
5pm 12oz coffee (the new Nitro) from starbucks. this drink is awesome once it comes to a starbucks by you. it's literally whipped coffee...but no calories. they mix nitrogen into the coffee, for real! it's AWESOME especially when sweetened with stevia. doesn't really even need milk, but i took some. 50
5:30pm back at home rushed to put laundry in around 5:15pm so i don't have to do TONS when i get home. most of my stuff was packed already before this week started, so it's just clothes and towels that aren't coming with me, but good to wash ahead of the trip, duh. i'm glad i wasn't home all day thinking of the trip. :) had a clementine 50.
200 in cauliflower nacho flavor crackers (very good), and then a turkey burger 150 in a light wrap 70 with ketchup and mustard, some fresh mini peppers on the side 30. total here: 450. this was a nice, satisfying meal. i'm glad to get good protein in.
2050, i'm going to be happy and leave it right this way, 2050!
2day avg: 2150.
_____________________________________________________________
My commenting and journaling may be a bit off or different this month, right now, as i'm preoccupied with the trip, finishing work out these two days, exercise tomorrow night....just going through all the motions right now until Wednesday :) things seem to be turning out very well..
__________________________________________________________
seeing the Big Apple Circus today at noon at a circus tent outside Lincoln Center in NYC! $19 tickets. with friend christine. made plans on purpose, keeping myself busy so i'm not getting anxious before the trip! the last hurrah again! a fun time as work is easy this week, just a two-day week and it's been good with a 3-day week last week. Making the most of everything!
Ok, I gotta take a quick shower and get outta this apt. gotta also bring a small wrap for lunch as we're not gonna get food before the noon show which is good bc i got tooooo many leftovers and leaving Wednesday morning!
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
Smart idea to take your own lunch. Serves 2 purposes: healthy planning and cleaning out your fridge.
and like a juggler never got the ball onto the box above his head...
...but the circus was all in good fun and the music was a live band which i love. and overall, it's amazing what people can do physically. i enjoyed being there and so did my friend.
great idea to freeze any leftovers!
i decided to slow cook a veggie soup with the leftover onion, carrots and parsnips. glad did not throw them away, after making special trips a couple weeks ago just to buy them! :) i'm going to have good eats when i return.
so, like you were saying, freeze veggies after they are cooked, right?

________________________________
ran a lot of errands today, after I got hair highlighted for a good price. went to use a few coupons at a couple stores having sales. but before the errands, i was really tired, so i went to bed and woke up an hour later. that was nice....
i was out doing errands from around 3-5:30pm. came home to rest on couch before i start a workout at home :)
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
last year i was in a trailer and it was not good. it was a very cold winter, so it wasn't fun to go out walking at lunch - 5 degrees F is a bit cold! also, i couldn't even move anywhere around the trailer during the day so i was constantly sitting. so, no extra walking. i also never took a longer lunch break than 30min. i also wasn't use to the commute and didn't do long walks home yet from the subway, like i do now a couple times a week, around 3mi! lastly, i was burning great cals at the start of winter last year, but then got very sick throughout January with a cold / bronchitis, so i lost strength and lost out on many weightlifting sessions. ended up in losing weight but then gaining like 5lbs...which was my limit!
oh, also in the trailer, NOBODY had good eating habits. they ordered pizza all the time. junk food and candy galore. i was in the trailor from end of december until end of february! so glad to be outta that cramped, very congested workplace.
there was limited food to get around the trailer site. no stores to go visit like in NYC. i'm so glad not to be there!
i'm keeping the exercise this winter. so it's really helping with maintenance. plus the walks around a couple times a week. plus walking almsot everyday at lunch.
i'm more active than any past year. it's helping.
really, as long as we stay active and keep snacking to keep the body away from feeling like you are starving, you can eat quite a bit. veggies work for me at least a big amount in one of my meals to get me feeling full.
it may look like i eat whatever i want, but i'm watching portions and overall cals. it's all after YEARS of seeing what works and still learning better what i can do even better.
they were very light flavor. maybe not much sugar added to these.
i am not sure why my parents got them or where. maybe Fairway since that's a store that sells a huge variety.
i tried one just because i never had anything like it.
flavor was light not like a dried apricot which is a stronger flavor. and def not like a black prune or like a date. very light flavor.
I had the same thought as Bear. It's been noted by gazillions of people over the years, but I don't know why they don't call them dried plums for marketing purposes. Prunes just have a negative sound to them.
also, i love oatmeal on weekends. sometimes i skip the kombucha since oatmeal also causes bowel movements lol so don't need to "double up" on probiotics.
i don't like eating oatmeal at work bc it causes me to usually need to use the bathroom...and i don't need more of that during the morning at work! it's great on a relaxing, weekend morning.!!!
yep, love the oatmeal. you can bet i usually add a little stevia in.
6:30AM Kombucha 50
9AM-10AM keto egg honey cake 150, coffee 50, chocolate 100, cookie 100
11AM-11:30AM pumpkin cheesecake 250
1:30 PM lunch from home leftovers of the strong tasting veggie soup 150 glad it's done ! And some corned beef 200 and maybe chips 150. 500
snacks: almonds and clementine 100, chocolate 100
Dinner: tbd Chinese food pretty moderate
2250 total
7day 2130
________________________________________
I picked up Indian food takeout yesterday and it's still in the work fridge as i forgot it yesterday. Must remember to bring that home for the weekend and dinner tonight :) I have planned to eat the indian on top of "noodles" which are really hearts of palm (a veggie). they seem to be very perfect and better than the shirataki. 40 cal per package but a better consistency.
I am looking forward to gettng out of here ASAP at the end of the day. ...bringing hamster to my parent's house tonight as they will be watching it & feeding it while i'm gone :) then i'll sleep over there, come back in morning to queens for a hair coloring /- highlights (decided to do it again!). tonight i'll eat dinner at my own place, heading out to my parent's house after rush hour and just to visit and sleep over, but not eating dinner with them as it'll be late anyways i think.
i didn't sleep much last night (went to bed late after finishing a workout late) and i am having a little bit of a "tired" day and cannot wait to just relax tonight and lay down in bed to conk out.
We were thinking drinks at lunch, but i'm so NOT down for that...and it seems it isn't possible as my supervisor is in meetings and needs to be very "on the ball" today. GOOD.
"The party is over..." back to work & no more play and galavanting at lunchtime like that :)
but still nice walking around city always at lunch!
just less partying and more bringing lunch from home. no more drinks thankfully!
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
i know the shiritaki rice. i agree with you about the shiritaki. if i worked from home, i might still be eating it, i wish it wasn't so harsh on my stomach (shiritaki)
there's also the hard kelp noodles....they are very interesting....
your way is good, too! nice to go home...my home is WAY TOO FAR!
i stepped on the scale and i'm magically 5lbs heavier!? ouch. maybe bc it's 9pm and not 6am! ....fri morning i stepped on again and it's back down, just hovering under 115. so i'm good ;) my clothes have been fitting well and only thing bothering me is my sudden decrease in strength due to skipping 2-3 sessionsin December. Back on track now though, even during vacation i'll figure it out!
______________________________________________________________
So on fb, some friends form elementary school starting a conversation to have a reunion in summer. And i'm thinking to myself almost an automatic NO. The reason is because some of them defriended me and i defriended some of them on fb. why go!? :) i don't think i'll be attending. It's not scheduled yet, they are just thinking to do it in summertime. But at this right, with limited free time in life and all, i don't see myself attending. Maybe if i could bring someone, but, why hang out with people i'm not even friends with on fb? yeah, not going :)
there are some smaller personalities (not the grand ones that i don't care to see) that might go...so if enough "nice" people go, i may reconsider...if there are nice people there, well, it might be worth giving them a hug :)
__________________________________________________________
Really starting to feel Florida's approaching...i'm a bit all over the place...and working alone these two days in this quiet room is a little much ...! for real! because my thoughts keep drifting to Florida! And it's getting me a bit....jittery!

6 day avg: 2108, excellent!
___________________________________________________
WELL! I HAD A MOST INTERESTING MORNING COMMUTE. Basically, it was sorta a date you can say. it was an uplanned commute in halfway with someone i know. we rode the subway together and then walked the whole way together to my workplace as he had a few more blocks to go but my work was totally on the way to his. lol. crazy. it's the single guy i have been texting with lately. i don't reach out though, not chasing. but, it's fun. he is pretty easy to talk to...he's fun for now. I think i'll be "hanging out' with him when i come back from my trip in February....yea probably. He's prob around 50, but myself being 36, it's not even 15 years...i prefer men slightly older.
______________________________________________________
So i'm glad i cleaned the hamster cage. it was TOTALLY overdue! and where it mostly pees, my hammy was biting away at the cage and it's still safe and hammy can't escape, but she did totally bite a dent with her teeth quite deep into the plastic. Maybe the urine helps soften the plastic making it easier to bite thru...i would have prevented this, maybe, by cleaning the cage more often. It'd probably been one month since last FULL cleaning. no worries. now it's clean :)
A lot went on last night involving phone calls with two people, both longer calls. made for a busier night and bed not as early as i wanted, but still at a good time around 10pm.
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
10 p.m., nice. I tried to go to bed around 9:30, but I was up thinking (exactly what I said I wanted to do less of this year) for a good two hours before I finally fell asleep.
why were you thinking that long? work stuff?
HEY ALL! HAPPY WEDNESDAY, SHORT WORK WEEK!
Kombucha 50
Bar from a friend protein bar with choc chips made with steiva, pretty good, 200, coffee 50, and a homemade "creampuff" was so good! 150-200 (was small)
Snack: wrap 120, egg 70, 1/2 avocado 150. 350. (glad to not waste the two very ripe avocados i've had in the fridge and eating 1/2 at a time due to their ripeness and moreso to get the healthy fats in as my face is a little irritated and blotchy..and avocado tends to help).
Noon dark chocolate raisinets 50.
...hungry day but healthy eats pretty much :) moderation :)
Healthy lunch: frozen bird's eye mashed cauliflower (multiple servings) 100, leftover from freezer corned beef 200 !! yum! maybe some chips (have a new big bag here to enjoy at work these couple weeks).
Snacks: i have 4 clementines 100 and almonds 100 :) and prob a chocolate later, too. 50. 250 total in healthy snacks.
Dinner: I have a lot of leftovers. thinking a wrap with the remaining Indian palak creamed spinach. and 100 cal butter popcorn (and it's good - so no more orville redenbachers brand that is 200 cal!) . 550 cal or so.
2050 cal today!!!!
5 day:
________________________________________
grrrr so my workout was very weak as i think i skipped a day of workouts for two weeks i skipped a workout each week. my pushups were so bad...who knows why. not worried, but it was frustrating! i was poor at all exercises EXCEPT legs & abs. legs and abs were great! it's ok, i know what to do...KEEP ON. :)
but i have already lost minor strength due to skipping a few workouts in December. not sure how many, probably 2 or 3 and yes, that's def enough to screw up maintaining strength when you have desk job and the only exercise you do is added into your days manually by yourself!....lol.
but i'll be fine. def cannot add more stress or thoughts now. i have florida on my mind. but work is busy enough and i'm distracted enough to just do the work and stop thinking about even planning miami right now. my mind is done. looking forward to hamster cage cleaning and sleep.
_________________________________________
Plan is to take it easy on even the walking today....i MUST clean the hamster cage tonight. as the hamster has decided to play near her hardened pee area and smells like urine. weird! hamsters are usually clean but since yesterday she has a lingering urine smell on her = bad Jackie for not cleaning the cage....? overall it's clean and i spot clean and it doesn't smell or anything...but it's time. that's really more important tonight than an entire 3mi walk. i may just walk 1 mi in the evening part of the bus route - that'll be ENOUGH!
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
i will just keep trying my best then...going forward and never regret past decisions...that's a good goal to try to not regret not doing things. a decision is a decision and you can't fix it when it's done ;)
Hey all! After my walk, I cannot wait to catch up on everyone's entries! We have a major high going on in terms of entries and active members on DD woohoo!!! 10 of us have posted in the past 24 hours or so! yay!
____________________________________________________________
Couple chocolate covered almonds 50, seltzer
10:30am Breakfast wrap 120, with chicken sausage 100, and lots of indian palak (creamed spinach). 250? 450. Feel like i just want some kombucha to totally rid myself of liquidy issue in my intestines..550
1pm: protein rice krispie treat 2 servings 280, almond milk 50. 350...and off to walk after relaxing and sorta organizing (my head!?) for 2 hours!? where did the time just go? it did include a shower but time is just FLYING. i'm off to walk at an open park safe and sunny with good parking. Not the best eating, but tasty. I really need to get outside in the sun now!
3mi walk at park....nice and sunny, just cool, but very windy. very nice!
3pm late meal after walking: granola bar in car 100, followed by wrap 80, egg 70, half avocado 150. total here 400 and chips 100
now to start thinking about packing...feeling tired after the walk, so, just gonna comment her on DD...think about packing...start packing a little bit...and hope to feel up to weightlifting. if i'm not up to it, i'll skip it until tomorrow.
6pm snack before weightlifting at home after some mishmosh packing job (good enough for me...still some things to add, but chose the clothes and packed most toiletries) better than not starting.
6pm big apple 100, another reese's granola bar (pretty good) 100 and a coffee now. 50. 250.
during small banana & another banana and realized one of my sugar free drinks is giving me bad heartburn so i poured it out and took tums. grrr. may need to stop drinking these. 250

_____________________________________________________________
Due to the stress and lack of stress and ups and downs of the weekend, my stomach has churning and i have been using the bathroom extremely frequently all weekend. things are just running right thru me. so before i go for a week, i'd like to sit a bit on my couch and relax and enjoy the heavier, filling breakfast i wrote about above.
____________________________________________________________
NYE was really nice. With friends since senior year of college.
The weather last night for driving to the New Year's party was HORRIBLE. Rain was pouring and hard to see road. Roads were slippery. I hated the drive but managed it. I didn't go on the highway over 45mph. It was not possible with my crappy low to the ground car tires and old car. Mostly I had to go 42 or so mph. not even 45. Two a**holes had the nerve to shine their brights at me! Can they night see i'm going slow in the middle lane because i have a low to the ground car with cruddy tires and i don't want to be Hydroplaning? I think the brites came both times from bigger vehicles that navigate VERY slippery dark roads well. People all over were driving horrible, speeding, in a pretty terrbile rain storm. After the drive, knowing it would still be raining at midnight, I told her I'd be really happy to sleep over! Best decision ever. The drive home this morning was cake. Roads were clear and the 30 min drive flew by. I stopped at the supermarket and to drop off a library book in their outdoor return slot. I may go for a walk, the temperature is gradually dipping, but when i drove home at 10am, it was 60! Happy New Year indeed! It's a sunny, beautiful day after the storm. Back down to 45 later in afternoon.
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!

__________________________________________________________
stomach is sorta upset and my body is a bit still whacky not sure why. could be the types of food i was eating yesterday also, as it was all sorta atypical for me...the whole day...no issue about it though it was fun. i was in and out of the bathroom all evening, night and this AM. weird.
just resting today and starting laundry soon....
well the laundry machine was occupied so i kept my stuff down, ready to go there at 11am again to start laundry, but accidentally fell asleep on the couch till noon...fine by me :)
_____________________________________________________
OKAY, i have a leftover bottle of xanax from two years ago sitting in my apt. i took one, dose was .25mg alprazolam. not embarassed to say it. i had used only 2 pills previously, in 2016, so now i've taken a third. good.
so, the dose i took today is like 1/8 xanax. should be fine.
______________________________________________________
Today i'm getting a little organized. No exercise at all today...i luckily got it in last evening because i wasn't about to skip out on it as it's a priority to myself so that's good i walked last night around one hour :) dressed warm and used hand warmers that i inserted into my gloves.
Today is Baking and Laundry. that's it. then going to my friend's house tonight at 8pm and quite possibly i will sleep over there and drive home in DAYLIGHT in the morning. this is quite possible. i'm not so into doing the drive at night. so it depends how i feel at midnight.
Trying to do less right now as i'm starting to stress about the drive tonight as well as packing, etc. :) i'm good. i just realize i need to get a move on...especially with my laundry including of course bed sheets and the whole mix.

next, tomorrow i only have ONE task besides a workout to do. and it's to do MOST of my packing for Florida. I leave 1/9 but i'm leaving fully in the morning on that Wednesday and hells i'm not going to pack the Tuesday night after work before that morning for a 2-week trip. i'm not bringing much, only carry-ons because i can do laundry there. :) also, next weekend is BUSY. like, pretty busy. so, i just want the packing mostly done before this week to come. so tomorrow, i'll work out at my apt in the later afternoon, after i've packed for Florida :) (mostly packed...i'm sure i'll wash some jeans or something next weekend to add into what i'll wear on the plane. but in terms of shampoos and all...it's gotta be packed tomorrow :) otherwise, after a very busy sunday next weekend back in NYC...i'm going to be stressing hard about packing...so, yeah, i'll accomplish it tomorrow night most of it :)

Woke up around 3am and just relaxing and searching the web for awhile, till at least 5am. No worries and it's probably a good thing since tonight is New year's and i'm going to spend it out on Long Island at a friend's house before driving back home. It's like a half hour without traffic...not thrilled to do the drive but it's better than sleeping there i think. but as i keep writing this, i'm starting to think to sleep over her house and to then just sneak out in morning. I'm not eager to drive home at midnight, really. we'll see how i feel later. i may just bring a blanket and pillow and sleep at her house as she offered to everyone. just, i don't know if everyone will want to sleep or shup up come midnight, but i can always go to the bathroom, wash my face, and "leave the party" to go to bed if i want to...she'll understand i'm sure! it'd be better to sleep at her house i think, then drive home in the dark and while i'm sleepy. again, i'll see how i feel later but i'm thinking to just sleep at her house (and leave before eating breakfast (crap) at her house the next day. she loves desserts lol.
i just realized, no worries, i can also just work out back at my apt. duh. i may as well sleep over her house into Tuesday :)
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
it's a joke that mostly people out of town go there ...
but i do have friends that have went ;)
not me!
Personally I tend to stay off the roads on New Years Eve. Don't want to deal with higher chance of drunk drivers or additional police presence.
My boss leaves for Florida on Thursday morning, so Wednesday will be his last day at the office (yay!), and it won't be a full day, either. Your adventure starts about a week afterwards. Warm weather right now sounds so nice!
Light breakfast of pumpkin pie cheesecake and cooked cranberry preserves on top 300, kombucha too 70, later a snickers fun size 80
snack: small coffee and not sure - some spanish food at deli we both knew of near my former workplace in queens :) .400
candy 150
Chicken so good 300, noodles and rice 300?, salad, cake with flan 200? No hibachi changed plans instead going to Jens neighbor to eat and celebrate a 3yr olds bday
and a bar, not very satisfying end of day, but stuck with good calories. good. 250
2050, great!...tomorrow may be a little of an indulgence if i don't watch it.

One more wakeup before Florida. Should be nice having temperatures 30-40 degrees warmer than NYC.
I'd like to agree with that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
