_______________________________________________________
I'm having a very tired day and may take a nap after finishing the research project since it's moving along quickly. then i'll wake up and do weights :)
i have promised myself to stay awake and not take a nap either though i feel rather sleepy for a couple hours now while i am doing my work bc this particular research assgnment has NOT been difficult and i want to get it out of the way so i can read later...and also get my weights done after a nap so i can have a little more vigor when i do them!
_________________________________________________________
Monday - Labor Day:
Leave apt 8:30am to pick up candle at 9am. - i was stood up by the seller, she didn't answer her door or my texts! i let her know, nicely, that i was dissappointed after driving 45 min there (it was worth it to drive there bc i had planned to go to a certain supermarket after - making it so even though i didn't get the candle, i was able to get cheap gas and some produce!). back by 11am.
1- Research Assignment #3? started around noon...with a couple breaks along the way..ended at very close to 4pm, it took a hair longer because parts 1 and 2 were easy but part 3 required more research! DONE!
weights later (in afternoon)...Starting at 5pm...will try to end them as quickly as possible bc i don't want to drag it out all night.
bike ride - short, half hour? or cardio break most probably.
Week #4 Reading Assignments: SKIM THRU ONLY?? - see if i can skim it fast or if it's going to be heavier material...hopefully skim so i can start working on the assignments soon :)

Well at least your trip was still productive if you were able to shop.
I applaud you for your productive day. I plan to drink lots of coffee and go to the gym with my daughter. I might go for a walk this evening.
i didn't respond.
LOL that's so wrong of the seller...she just didn't keep in her mind that i was responsible and would totally be picking it up like i said, early in the morning! she must have seriously been sleeping!
i did all i could! LOL
Are you familiar with the theme song tol "Green Acres"? Do a YouTube search, if not.
i will have to google the song, i forget how it goes!
yeah, i'm glad i didn't do weights yesterday. even today i didn't want to, but, i figured i was being a little lazy by not doing them!
the farm was spectacular. i sorta talked too much giving my opinions bc the group was very young, all under 30 except for me!
Breakfast: 9am: hot cereal with the rest of the dried pineapple 250, coffee 50. kombucha 50. 350.
12pm lunch before hard work at the farm from 1-4pm!: half a burger 200 with mustard on a wrap 150, some roasted brussel sprouts and leftover sauteed eggplant 100, chips 150. 600.
4:15pm-5:30pm snacks from ride home after volunteering 200 in granola bar / cookies, spiked seltzer 100 while i relax and re-start my paralegal class hw. 300
6:15pm...bites of leftover sandwich from lunch, some cooked kale 50, lots of salty and tasty pizza flavor goldfish crackers 300 (2 servings) (very tired from farm, was so fun!).
1600....
I will skip weights today to do tomorrow which is fine. i may lose some muscle since i think i skipped a day last week also...but i already got great exercise in today at the farm for 3 hours so i may just RELAX / do some work, keep today's calories low, and go to bed early so tomorrow can be very productive...and it will be!
___________________________________________________________
So i drank half an energy drink on both yesterday (saturday) and the day before that. It had me so "up" that I was able to stay up so late and concentrate way more! Now i see why i was so addicted to them! After not having them for so long, because they also had very bad side effects like skin breakouts always after having them, I am reminded how powerful those drinks were! wow!

That reminds me though -- with all of the recent busy-ness at work, I HAVE dipped into a can or 2 of Diet Coke - after having sworn off of them for about a year. They are so unhealthy for me, but I just needed a reason to live, if you know what I mean.
Enjoy the farm today!!!!
i also can't do a lot of coffee bc i get jittery too!
Yep, Bear, I’ve read about kids & others drinking too many and spiking their BP dangerously. I love coffee, but a big mug lasts me Until noon. The highlight of my year used to be the 30% off Starbucks beans after Christmas, but I have since found a Pennsylvania roaster who has much better prices. I wait for their annual sale too, and get enough for the year. Lasts a long time in those sealed bags. Used to freeze them, but the company told me they can easily last a year on the shelf.
it has caffeine but then if you google it the list continues and is quite long. lots of other energy components of things that "help boost concentration" and stuff to that nature. it's not natural and it's not good for you! but it tastes great and leaves me a high that lasts a very long time, especially after not consuming one in many months! but i won't start that habit again bc it makes my skin break out terribly!
Breakfast - stomach was a little upset...so i had some coconut water 50, cereal 150, dried pineapple 150. 350.
snacks: after biking, more coconut water for hydration / sugar 50, later kombucha while starting my work to take my appetite off 100.
500.
lunch: leftovers - egg 100, noodles 200, chips 150, half the energy drink I had from yesterday no cal! later 2 chocolate 50
1000
dinner salad with olives 150, 1/2 burger 200 (small), cheese 100, bun 150...i think this is it! 650-700
1700
and a spiked drink later at night 100
1800
glad i got the bike ride in during the morning. rest of the day was relaxed, little movement but the bike ride was great!

9am breakfast: cereal 150 with dried pineapple 150, almond milk 50, coffee 50.
later some kombucha 100
1:30 lunch: I google searched the nearest place to get Poke which ended up being directly in my town and had a $5 off coupon. it was worth it, very filling, had some noodles and couldn't finish it all. more flavor than i remember. not my favorite food, but it satisfied my craving. tuna 200? dressing very light...noodles 200? other ingredients - 150> 550. then blueberries 100. then a BAD energy drink in a flavor i never tried. taking a break today from the "rules" and from everything, it seams! 650.
5:30 snacks: a protein/health bar called "go macro" almost 300 cal. but satisfying and tasty...got it today while out for a little bit at a CVS where i also picked up a small amount of seltzer. :) and grapes. 50.
9pm grapes 100, lots of chocolate 200, and i forgot the other item?100
Mostly no activity today but did go outside for quick errands and a little 10min walk along with 20 minutes on the stepper tonight so not a total loss.
1900.

Friday:
friend and I BOTH have work to do (she needs to prep for teaching) and we BOTH prefered to skip beach in lieu of doing homework! ha! I completely didn't mind this change as we all know that i've been wanting to progress on the paralegal assignments! :)
again, phone calls took up some of my morning, then i didn't get a lot done on BB3 before deciding to order lunch LOL. it was not that expensive, around $8.00. treated myself today as i only have eggs for protein so decided to get raw tuna in an Asian style dish!
1- BB3 - VERY CHALLLENGING assignment, taking most of today. It's based on fixing wrong citations, but each of the citations is from a different court / system and therefore has a different format. The problem is that the format is wrong, so it's confusing sometimes what the RIGHT format is...and i have to search for a long time for each format because they are not clearly all on one page. It feels like a "challenge" assignment and will be, I think, one of the hardest of this course. Has taken from around Noon until...8pm!!!! there were breaks, but there were also continuous periods of working! and a phone call again which i was helping someone with something regarding work. DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! prob around 3-4 hours of continuous work was required?

I know you're very focused on getting this coursework done, but I hope you do take a little time for yourself each day to get some fresh air. And I don't mean stepping out on the balcony.
Glad to see you'll be on the farm Sunday!
whenever i get the exercise in before the day really starts, in the morning, i am more successful with keeping my workout promise! so i def get a bike ride in today. but i am purposely waiting on weights until tomorrow so i can actually get some work done today :) it feels good. thank you for caring. you are right, it's important to still take care of my health! :) biking felt wonderful, i felt my heart rate and breathing increase and it was good. i don't feel that way as much when i do my cardio because i don't run anymore...

Enjoy your week, looks like it will involve quite a bit of projects and assignments. How's the course going so far?
the second half paralegal course is actually going BETTER than the first half of paralegal. it's just as much work, but, so far the reading is a little less :) also, some of the course is based on using a internet program for law research and since i'm used to using different online programs and computer work, i've had a handle on it compared to other students i am sure. :) so it's going better right now!
:) good experiences for me right now.
Good Morning!
For Jacky820, she asked what the main text i'm using is and it's the Statsky 2nd edition:
9am Breakfast: hot wheat cereal flavored cinnamon bun with almond milk 200, dried pineapple 150, coffee 50. 400.
11am kombucha 100
500
1:30 Lunch: tbd wrap 150, leftover small bit of salmon 250???, plum 50, chips 120.600 ...feeling full yeah.
(QUICK WALK to pick up a disc from neighbor after lunch, since i haven't gotten anything done i figured i'd do this errand now instead of later. LOL. grrr.)
snacks:seltzer mixed with tonic water (1 glasses over a long time period) 100 cal, spiked drink 100(procrastination / tired / not wanting to start this assignment - but i just read question #1 and it's not hard!)
added things...but DD not working...
1950 calories.
dinner: no real dinner just snacks all evening.
The schedule below is for me...more than you all!...and i actually emailed it to myself in case of any issues on DD...because it's a pretty good schedule and i don't want to have to do it again if i lose it!
I'm feeling sorta sad / lonely today. No more talks with my good friend "R" since our last argument.
In some ways, that may be our "final" argument as I am thinking that thru these 4 years of getting to know each other (first meeting around only 4 years ago), that we have been thru everything and there's no more we can give each other.
Our arguments have progressed and become more and more frequent. And if we cannot end them or come to some kind of mutual understanding, it's over as a friendship.
This time around, I will not continue to reach out or hold his hand in coming to some kind of apology because all the other times, the apology didn't last and the arguments came back worse and worse.
I won't accept this in a relationship outside of my own family. Meaning, i accept (somewhat) the fights within my family but not with someone that is a friend and no blood ties. I am not friends with someone for the arguments and when they are frequent, it's apparent to me that there's something not right in the friendship. If they stay frequent, even with some effort to discuss it, then the relationship may not be a good one to keep.
I will NOT give him an easy way out and try to talk or communicate because i've done this in the past. There's nothing more i want to do. If he doesn't contact me, I will have to deal and move on.
Even though i feel lonely, I have a lot of work right now at home...so there's that!

Not sure if i'll have job interviews, but that's the tentative schedule.
the course is 7 weeks, i'm trying to finish as early as possible in case of job changes, etc.
Progress as of today: -3 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
I def need the plan until i finish the second half this paralegal course...seems I have another week, at least, without work so this means i need to get the course done as it's a BIG hassle to do if i were working :)
I hope one day this will have not been a total waste. I don't know for sure now...but I can only hope that one day I will have the opportunity to use this paralegal knowledge.
the Project management course was also a great use of my skills and time - to prove at least to myself of what i can do with the internet / making a webpage and just doing productive things.
at least my brain isn't total mush from all this time unemployed. it's def helped me be quite constructive.
as always, i'm thankful for this crazy time but special opportunities that I have decided on...we'll see what happens in the next month.
You got a lot done on Monday and Tuesday looks productive too. Be sure not to sit too long.
decided to walk before breakfast, so came home of course with a huge appetite, even after a rather short walk!
10am breakfast: cinnamon flavor hot cereal 150, raisins 150, coffee 50...sitting down now to do work.
snacks: kombucha 100
1:45pm lunch: popcorn 200, 1 egg 100, plum 50 350.
snack 3pm chocolate 100, 3:30 pretzels 150 (while studying)

Not sure if i'll have job interviews, but that's the tentative schedule.
the course is 7 weeks, i'm trying to finish as early as possible in case of job changes, etc.
Progress as of today: -3 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
i forgot, we'll be celebrating my sister's hubby's bday! i have no gift or card...oh well.
but i do have a mask for my sister, mom, dad...didn't think to get her hubby a mask. so maybe i'll just give the masks to my mom and dad for now! save my sister's for another time! so it doesn't look like i only forgot her hubby! LOL.
This time losing the weight was interesting. I started...even before I turned 30! and now i am almost 38..
So, i was turning 30 or so, and made a lot of changes in the year or so before. I was at a horrible high of like 135, almost 140, pounds after i went back to school but also got into some bad habits.
Pretty much, for several years from 28yrs-33yrs old and around the time of my sister's wedding for sure, i maintained more around 120-125 at the absolute highest. I have an injury too, which forced me to lay off and not exercise during a lot of this time. bad ankle.
for sister's wedding, spring 2016, i set a goal to finally and for all get to around 115lbs. and i did it.
since that time, spring 2016, i have maintained - a little up here and a little down there. but mostly maintained.
my calories have gone up a LOT in maintenance.
When i dieted first time, early 20's, my calories were always pretty low and i'd end of bingeing. I do not do this anymore...
i have found a way to maintain and in the past 4 years i have eaten so many things i wouldn't touch the first time around. yeah, i'm def in maintenance. and i try to exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
compared to many, i don't exercise all that much in terms of cardio, but, i try to do it moderately. and for weights, that's a big thing i'm into. my routine is easier though now, but i stick with it.
so yeah, been maintaining for around 4 years, have had some struggles and where i'm uncomfortable as the weight creeps up, but not even to 120. not past that. i don't let it go too far because it's such a darn struggle to push back down again. and i don't want to buy all new clothes!
the first time was like 1 year, maybe a little less, to lose around 20-25 lbs.
maintenance calories are very high for me. i think i maintain even slightly above 2000 (like 2000-2100). but, i try to keep it below right now, or at 2000 or so most days, because since i am mostly home it's easier to get up late and eat what i want because my schedule is a lot more free...so i'm going with this opportunity to maintain my weight more easily and lose if it happens. instead of my usual 115lbs, i'm seeing 112-113 lbs due to less stress, more sleep, and slightly lower calories right now. i eat often, lately more snacks than usual. my metabolism has improved also due to continuing weight training and not eating such low calories like i did when i was in my early 20's (when i did 1200 and such calories a day but i also didn't weight train so i burned less)
THANK YOU!!! Very helpful xoxo
