On Amazon, I finally decided on a massager (based on product details and reviews and price) for feet and legs:

Good Morning :) !!! I think today is a short workday for us in my company. Pretty sure we will be out by 1:30pm SO HAPPY! I can then pick up my laptop from the repair shop and also do SOME exercise, but i'm staying away from lower body as my ankle / left leg is still tight and sore and weak. GRRR! Obviously it's going to take awhile to heal and i'm going to have to lay off it for this long weekend...but i know it will get better. def no ladder. and i stopped the one move which was torture - involving jumps. I may cook tonight / bake tonight again.

I'm going to a bbq for the 4th that starts around 2pm. will leave after eating "dinner" as i'd like to be home when it's fireworks time - because i just want to rest up. the woman i'm driving with also has double the distance ride as me, so she'll want to be home too, luckily, early.
i have wonderful views of fireworks all the way into NYC because i have a good view in the apt i live in. I'd like to be home early Thursday evening to enjoy that view :)

________________________________________
Today is usually an exercise day but i am going to skip it tonight to sleep more / rest more. Actually, i might change my mind, we'll see. but either way I'm really thankful for the long weekend that's coming. I could def use some extra rest.
another reason i'm not keen on exercise is i can rest my sore ankle / lower leg but also i can limit calories by just going home and sleeping early. that's probably the plan tonight :)...just a little more rest would be healthy for me - more than exercise is at this time and this week. gotta knock the soreness out of my body.
_________________________________________
My coworker (who is on vaca till next week but comes home tomorrow and she supposedly wants to do work at home over this long weekend) has asked me to bring home some paperwork which is going to make my bag heavier - which i really don't want but have no choice and it's really not a big deal, just coincides with ankle pain which has improved as the day has progressed! Therefore, it's best after bringing home her paperwork to relax and sleep early!
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!

3:15pm snack: chocolate 60, coffee with very little almond milk, later almonds 100
Dinner: TBD - i have food at home so no matter what i have, i do not have to spend any money on food this short work week.dinner was more like dessert - it was a protein muffin in a HORRIBLE flavor and the yogurt wasn't good either. strawberries were OK. and one of my protein cookie dough balls from the freezer. dinner was filling but blande.
2050 cal.
2050 3 day avg too.

Tonight i'm planning on going home early and no extra exercise after work as my ankle and left leg have been tight since last week due to overuse. it seems to already be healing and feeling better and the pain is not too much. I just have to watch it.

i might be replacing my laptop soon - the screen doesn’t light up - yesterday was good but today it didn’t light up. It was an HP and 4.5 years old. My previous Toshiba lasted 3 years. Both were cheap models so I guess I got what I paid for. Instead of paying in pull for my next device, I may choose to finance it in some way or just use my credit card and pay it off little by little ...
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
Glad I didn’t have to spend big bucks and only $110 for screen - it’s still at the shop till Wednesday when the screen comes in

Good Morning,Happy Saturday off work for i think everyone here...except Legs who is doing some gym training for some folks - but that's active work and healthy and fun for her :) I'm proud of you, Legs. You continue to inspire me to schedule in more fitness and plan better to achieve bigger fitness goals. :)
9am breakfast: oatmeal 150 with a little saffron just in one spot to soak it in and quickly eat that bite!, stevia / cinnamon with almond milk 20, yogurt 80, iced coffee 40. total 300
11-12pm snacks: blackberries 100, couple candies 50
then went to get my hair colored dark and cut - i'll be dying my hair at home for now on to save my $ and time :)
3pm late lunch, healhy: small piece of turkey 100, the rest of yesterday's mashed cauliflower (seems very heavy due to lots of either cheese / cream added but also very filling and tasty!) 300, salad and leftover grilled veggies 100. everything so tasty & filling. 500. Cake low sugar thing very good 100
wine 150
mcdonalds 750
2000 total :)
______________________________________________
I'm basically dying my hair back to brown today. maybe very subtle highlights almost like the brown it is because i've decided to save both my TIME and my MONEY and dye my hair at home going forward, except maybe once in a while getting SUBTLE brown highlights on my dark brown hair. I prefer to not have this expense on both my weekend TIME and my budget anymore :) and also, when fitting in fitness, sitting going over to the next town with lots of traffic and parking problems and then getting my hair done as a weekend activity doesn't really coincide with fitness plans very well. so, it's off my list of activities for this year. if i am keen on court officer stuff, and my schedule is "busy," there's no need to be scheduling in more hair appts. I'm simply going back to basics. this prob also has to do with the dermatologist visit and in my head i'm just trying to get to my goals, and stop getting distracted by anything / everything. highlighting the hair is an example of something that is "fun and playful and games," and it's just wasting my precious time, money, energy. i'll still have to touch up the few grays at home, but with store-bought dye. and that'll be just fine!
so,today i'm cooking. probably ladder in a bit after i set up the veggies in the slow cooker - doing hair.
later, Ricky and I are going to another FREE, community event. this one is awesome ! It's a walking tour of Downtown Flushing Chinatown neighborhood.!!! it's actually where i'm going for my hair at 1pm! so, i'm going there twice today. it's very local - like a neighborhood away. and i am super happy about a walking tour - HELLO FITNESS! :) and it's free. 6pm is when it starts.
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
I enjoyed reading about your thoughts on your hair. That must sound weird, right? But I like the "back to basics" and the desire to become more focused on what you want for yourself, and not to be distracted by the stuff that's not helping you in the direction you want to go at this time.
(That's not a diss against anyone who has their hair done or nails or anything like that. Those things can be self-nurturing, fun, relaxing, uplifting -- to try and do, too. I hope anyone that reads this can see what I'm trying to say.)
Good Morning Everyone, Happy Friday :)
8am breakfast: cinnamon spice oats package 160 with almond milk 20, yogurt 80, iced coffee 40. 300
11am Hemp Bar brownie chip flavor...amazingly nice taste. love this new bar i found!

during exercise: fluids / drinks 100, candy 50
7pm dinner is healthy - from a place that has homestyle american food - but also good healthy options! mashed cauliflower i had a lot 400?, small roll 50, and some turkey slices (thick ones) 300?..
11:30pm .later i had a snack 200 right before bed.950 i think, tops. good. maybe less.
2150, tops. :) did fine.
weekly average:2120, good.
exercise - a little walking at beach, some shuffleboard playing. and my strength workout earlier in the day from aroudn 1pm-4pm on and off.
________________________________________________
I have my errands to do today - but first enjoying breakfast & the couch....
& a shower followed by getting all my laundry washed while i do my strength workout..doing things at home now...cleaning closets a little bit.
I'm definitely taking this day at my own pace & looking very forward to the beach and a concert tonight. Weather has been fabulous this week.
_________________________________________________
This is a little "heavy" but at the dermatologist what i thought was one thing was another and it was a slight punch in my gut as it was unexpected and very unexpected after this busy week my head wasn't ready to hear it..i thought i would go into this weekend relaxed after that appt but it left me realizing health is important and to always air on the side of caution. i can't discuss this further, i'm fine, but it's realization that the older you get,the more experiences you have, the more you are at risk for. so be careful. are on the side of caution. and keep positive, keep on with my journey, and i shall keep on with my positive goals and challenges this year as fun and games don't lead to anything positiveat all and sometimes come back to haunt you. i shall be fine. but it's one more thing i wish has never happened - but i'll keep going thru life because you cannot change the past but only look forward. i am fine, i'll be fine. All the choices we make have consequences. and somtimes you don't know of that consequence till many years later. I have only shared this important stuff with one person, R, and decided i will not talk about it to anyone else. it's not the worst thing in the world, but would have been better if avoided. now gotta live with it.
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
thank you for the positive words. :)
There is stuff called Abreva, but that is like $30 for this teeny tiny little tube. I can't afford that! Sometimes I can ward them off - i.e. lessen them - if I start loading up on zinc. If I feel a tingle on my lip, if I use Carmex, that sometimes helps.
But this isn't something that goes away, and it's annoying and painful and embarrassing. I'll forget the day that Queen Bee announced it to the whole office that I had a cold sore. And all because of something very foolish that I did when I was 7 years old and couldn't possibly know any better.
So there you go. Whatever it is that you're dealing with, I'm glad you saw a doctor about it. Do what you have to do to manage it. Don't let it define you. And whatever it is, you're not alone.
there's a high percentage of people that get all these different viruses and it's too bad we have to deal with them for life. that's the really bad part.
i appreciate your thoughtful response and suggestions.

_______________________________________________________
I admit that the extra OT and not sleeping as much has def left me quite anxious and tired. I am so ready to sleep in tomorrow. No extra exercise will be done today besides walking at lunch. I have a breakout on my face i think because of this. it's ok, i know i did the OT and i'm happy now. :) And i know the weekend will be good, too. I have yet to finalize any plans on weekend, probably bc in my head i know i want to sleep in quite a bit :)
I have a lot of plans on my agenda for tomorrow, my day off, but i realize that it's not really a rush to finish them all and if i don't i'll just do them later in the weekend.
_________________________________________________
Plans for tomorrow include:
1- Whenever i wake up (i am looking to sleep in a bit after not sleeping that great this week, i just want to sleep extra tomorrow as much as i want to!), after breakfast: Strength workout first- definite
2- Oil Change - possibility - better to do Friday (less of a wait / less customers) than Saturday
3- kombcha nah, can wait till next weekend, when i eat some of these veggies in my fridge.
4- Add money to laundry card at housing office
5- If time permits after everything listed above: Ladder Workout outside - there's an i want to do this Saturday, i can wait...i think i'll sleep in Friday enough to not have time for more exercise. maybe i'll cook in the afternoon, if time permits! i'd like to make some keto stuff and/or cook up my new food order that ships today from Misfits!
6- around 5/6pm go out to Rolling Stones tribute band concert (free) at beach with Ricky - :) - and dinner there / shuffleboard game if we want to
________________________________________________________
There were LONG train delays this AM. i left my own apt 5 min late, but was delayed by 35 min (of which luckily i was already on the train just sitting there in AC) in getting to work! but i will NOT be making up ANY time :) i'm so over that! I have worked 8hrs OT which i completed last night and that's that! train delays ...are train delays :) LOL.
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
also, this book is a GREAT reminder to be HUMBLE and thankful and remember that in order to get things, i must work for them. good things comes to those who work for it. :)
Let me know what you think of this book. i have enjoyed it so much. it's short, but, a thoughtful read so it's taking me a little longer than usual to finish it since it's relatively a short book.
2140 5 day - higher than i want, but my workdays were also longer than planned. so, giving myself the green light to realize i have done pretty well this week, on everything. calories included.
______________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________________________________
I woke up before my alarm clock today and decided to get out of bed and go to work as early as i could without rushing. i arrived 1hr 15min early. today i'm going to make up the rest of my 3 hours of OT and also make up the hour of work for tomorrow when i need to leave early for the dr. that's 4 hrs OT today, working from 7:15am-7:45pm. getting it done, so it's OFF my mind :) I really didn't expect to come early today, only doing it because i woke up before my alarm and decided to just go to work early.
I was also in bed a tad late last night as i did my workout after the union meeting, ending the workout a little bit after 10pm. not too terrible and sleep is stil decent . Tonight I will sleep well, I am quite sure...
It will be a long day today, BUT, work is rather easy right now - the pace is very, very slow for me and i'm working totally at my own pace - there really isn't a rush. yes, there's deadlines, but really, it doesn't matter if i get these things in tomorrow or by next Wednesday. So, looking on the bright side to get thru this short but long week! all is seriously good!
also, i'm still not done with some other adjustments i'd like to make to my resume...so i will do that tonight.
________________________________________
i have so many things on my mind to do as of late. Another thing i'm adding to my mental list is to make a somewhat sugar free/keto (Lekach) HONEY CAKE! it's a jewish type of recipe that someone at work wanted me to make MONTHS ago. i never got around to it because the internet doesn't have a good keto version, so i have to do the math to convert measurements and alternatives into my own keto version.
last time i did that, to try to make a honey cake before, it didn't come out well. i guess this is why i haven't done it again since. it involves a bit of math and calculations and quite a few ingredients. i think i'll be baking it on the 4th of July weekend, quite possibly, or sooner!
___________________________________________
I really want to clean up my closets again this weekend or soon. they are jam-packed with clothes so everything that's hanging gets fully wrinkled even though they are hanging up and are supposed to come out of the closet looking fresh! i want to get rid of a LOT of my clothes soon, so that i can take things out of the closet, and have them look fresh and smooth, not a mess and wrinkled. after all, we never wear like even 50% of the clothes in our closets - OR IS THIS JUST ME!? I have so much to give away. older clothes i haven't worn in a few years. shirts that just don't fit right...time to clean up again. dresses that are not flattering...list goes on and on. cardigans that are an ugly color that i don't even like to look at let alone wear...pants that don't fit...
....some pants i like to save especially dress pants bc it's expensive to buy new. but, for shirts & dresses, i plan to get rid of a LOT.
also, i want to clean my socks drawers. they are overflowing, but some of the socks don't have any elasticity anymore and are quite annoying to wear. and i have bought new to replace them with.
i cannot wait to declutter. I may do a little bit of decluttering on Friday when i'm home from work.
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
Glad to see that everything is going well and YAY today is your Thursday! Gotta love a short work week LOL!
As you can see, my mind wants the OT done too!
Yay for a short week.
Like you, i'm looking to get in some good fitness on the days off!
Yes, purge your closet. You will love it!
i hope this honey cake turns out ok. the last one was like an egg souflee which is def not how a honey cake should look or taste! i need to bring it to work for my coworkers (only if it comes out right!)
2:30am apricots 80, seltzer (busy week, so sleep is going to be off - my brain wasn't ready to shut down), kombucha 50.
Breakfast: healthy avo 100, wrap 130, everything seasoning, egg 80. 310. coffee 50.
snacks: TBD almonds probably 200

2230, decent for a longer type day.
2100 4day -
_________________________________________
rainy day, there was a bus delay due to traffic and then the trains were packed. got to work 15 min late, but, nobody really knows and i have to leave on time (actually 10min or so early) to get to a union meeting after work back in my home neighborhood at 6, so i'll be leaving 10 to 5 for that.
____________________________________________
I do still plan to take a lunch, hopefully it's not raining, to return a piece of clothing i bought the other day. it's linen pants - and it'll always need ironing - so i'm returning them before i even remove the tag. They were from H&M - they fit really well, but, the material is a waste to buy since i'm not big on ironing!
______________________________________________
After the meeting this evening, i'm sticking with my goals, skipping voting for the primaries (priorities point towards not having three obligations tonight all taking up time), and going to work out at home. i should get home between 7-7:30 and should be able to get a workout in and completed, if i don't get derailed by other things, by 9:30pm which is decent of course and not the latest hour in the world :)
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
Well, you should sleep better tonight, hopefully!
now, i just need to clean all my closets again & throw out a LOT of things so my shirts can hang and not get wrinkled bc the space is so tight! right now, everything in my closets is jam packed and creating a huge mess! not sure when, but, i'm eager to see what i have!
update: at 5pm, i went downstairs quickly to starbucks & got some dinner to eat later AT WORK! - planning to leave at 7pm and go home and do the ladder - it will still be light out just enough:) banging out 2hrs OT. getting it done - so i'm not doing this OT much longer thru July :)
_______________________________________________

ladder workout: to do around 8pm - nice i can do it in my "backyard"...and not drive anywhere! :)
after ladder: maybe a wrap and fruit / tbd
______________________________________________
I woke up and laid in bed a little later than usual but was at work on time. it was a good morning. I'm prepared for the week, too, with lunches. it's a short week for me, 4 days, so i'd like to actually make them more productive.
I decided on a short week because i have extra commitments for these 4 days..i'll write about those day by day as i do them!
________________________________________________
My plan is to work a simple half hour OT, not too much and not too little, then go home and do a quick ladder workout. :) i should be able to easily fit these two things in :)
At first, i had planned on "no OT" this week because it's involved enough, but, with supervisor in my room away, the ability to take a longer lunch, i'm thinking i should do at least a half hour or hour whenever i can :) over these next 2 weeks before she gets back and things are busier or feel busier at least with both of us working together again! :)
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
Yeah, might as well get as much OT in now as you can, while you can take longer lunches. I say just get it over with and then you don't have to stress about taking it later :)
so, yes, i'm getting the OT done earlier, but also not pushing my "more important" fitness plans to the side :) but you are right, i should get it done as quick as possible before she gets bacK!...i'll try to take really LONG lunches LOL to make it easier.

That is so cool, you get to watch fireworks from your apartment! I bet that view you have is pretty awesome :)
I don't recall if I read how you injured your ankle/leg?...
Enjoy your 4th of July tomorrow!
thanks Legs, it's just overuse.
i broke my ankle in college and it's never been the same since. didn't really do the recommneded PT for the recomended time either when i had broken it. wasn't even 21 then.
so, whenever i overuse or pound on it too much, it bothers me which is also bothering me in the back of my shin, at the ankle ligaments insertion point if you follow what i'm saying. i have been rolling it, but it's still painful. it should go away if i use it less...hoping for all of the pain to be gone 100% in two weeks from now, around July 21, when i'm signed up for another 5k - but i plan to walk the whole thing this time.
i should probably be buying the king leg massager, even for one leg/foot, as i'd take all help at this point..but really it's rest and recovery i need.
and yes, i see tons of fireworks :)

Would support hose help??? I know they aren't pretty....but they may just give you the support that your ankle needs when worn at home...or under long pants. Possibly even an ace bandage wrap when convenient.
these are good ideas. i used to wear a bandage every day, for a couple YEARS. i feel i want to use my own muscles for stabilization. maybe on my exercise days,using the ladder, i should go back to wearing the support bandage. that is a good suggestion to use when using my ankle more for stabilization.
BearCountryGG on 07/03/2019:
Oh definately you would not want to get dependant on those...they would allow muscles to become weak and dependent on them....but just for support while exercising would probably be good.
yes, i am thinking this is def the way i should go with it.

That leg massager looks neat. I definitely recommend these air massagers...one of the best things i've invested in for sure!
yes, it's going to help me i am sure. i liked all the foot elements to it - i realize i'll need to "sit up" to use it and not lie back on the couch!

That massage machine -- if you get it, please post a review here. I'm very interested - not only for myself but also for my husband who does have some edema in his left leg/ankle area.
i'll let you know, i think it is arriving today!
