parents left for a week and a half this AM...so with them packing and stuff I was up on and off all night...but I am so happy, I will definitely try hard to catch up with sleep and enjoy this time alone :-)
I will use this time to refocus on myself...getting rest at night. Not really to delve into a new book or anything, just doing things to feel better, which is really going to sleep earlier...like being in bed at 9pm. Also, exercise, will be very important these next two weeks. I am off-track. Not with exercise, but with calories and food intake. I am around 125 lbs. Gaining 5 lbs in one month is pretty bad. It means I have definitely ate in excess. I am going to work on this, especially now that I have this place to myself...Sleep will be crucial for eating better and getting exercise in. As for the weekend, I may just visit my grandma, exercise, and relax....or may meet a friend for dinner. We'll see how I feel by Friday.
Breakfast: 330 granola bar, cottage cheese 4%, pumpkin.
Snack: 210 bar
snack: 210 bar
Lunch: meatballs with spinach and veggies in a pita. 600
Dinner: same as above but smaller portion on bun. some fruit. 500
snack: bar?
1850 cal, perfect.
jog and leg weights, perfect.
now, let me stay perfect and go to bed!!!! i was sooo tired today, tomorrow will be much better i can tell!
Progress as of today: 0.5 lbs lost so far, only 6.5 lbs to go!
test day yay.
....last night i binged at a friend's holiday party :-( there wasn't anything healthy, i was PMSing, i was too hungry, and add on top anxious for the test today.
there was NO healthy food and i was hungry. i ended up indulging in all the sausage and peppers (only vegetable) and at the sausage and more bc i was hungry...then desserts and once i start, i usually can't stop. i wish i left before dessert :-( but i didn't....i have learned, i just CANNOT have dessert at these things...if i didn't have dessert, it would have been around 2500 cal. dessert put me at 4500, really! i had ample amounts of very rich brownies, cookies, muffins, etc.
prob around 2400 calories today (much better than yesterday!)...and i prob burned it all off. lots of weightlifting at the gym after the test. some cardio of walking, not much, was very, very, very tired. i am going to bed early tonight!

Good Morning :-)
LOL LOL...glad I reread the documents before driving there (only 20 min, but still!) the test is tomororw morning, lol, NOT today!!!!!!!!!!!! Another reason to leave the party early tonight! Now, the plan is to exercise, and go to the party...and cook and read. Maybe a massage, prob not.
It's a rainy weekend, but I plan to be positive about it. First, I will take the Nassau County written police exam this morining. Then, I plan to relax, maybe get a massage lol (prob not though!) and then I do want to go to the city to a friend's apartment, they are having a party. I was gonna tell them that I'm sick, can't make it, but I've been wanting to go, so I'm going to make every effort to go. It's early, 6pm, so that's good especially as I'm up before 6am today to get ready for the test and tomorrow I also cannot sleep in.
SO busy. Last night I worked 8am-6:30pm. I stopped at the supermarket to pick up some extra vegetables from the deli section already cooked, and ate in my car. I reached the gym at 8pm and I got home around 9:30pm. Tired, but anxious about the test, I overate just a little, more to just keep myself awake for an extra couple hours so that I had the energy to review for everything I need to bring with me - lol, not much! They don't even allow bags to be brought in. Anyways, I went to bed late, around 11:30 and was up around 5:30am. I woke up very nervous and anxious, because I do realize that even though this is not the police academy I am looking to get into (looking to get into NYPD), this is the better academy (Nassau County) - and that if there's ever a change to move from the NYPD to Nassau this is the test that will give me that option. To be a cop in the NYPD is a dream come true, to be a cop in Nassau County is like a fantasy because I know how few people they take and that most need a perfect score or have connections (for Nassau County)....anyways, I am taking this test in order to give myself this option, to be a cop for the county I live in which is also a heck of a lot safer than NYC...that and the fact that I know my county pretty darn well!! Anyways, I am keeping up with the gym, staying fit, etc, let me get ready for this test!
6am Breakfast: wow,talk about anxiety, I can tell my hunger was fueled by it. 600 cal. fiber one and almond milk, 1/2 a slice of toasted rye, protein bar.

I deam this weekend an eat-healthier, at least 2 real meals a day (real meals, not chips, etc, protein shakes) weekend!
Right now my weight is up a lil bit, not 119. Honestly, I don't wanna get on the scale, I'd rather not know. BUT, I am taking proactive measures to get my weight down by being active and not binging. I will be very aware of what I'm doing this month...My goal is to feel good by New Year's Eve and be very close if not at 119 again! I prob weigh 123-125 at the moment...
I woke up once in the middle of the night, hungry around 2pm but I think it was me just digesting?, so I decided it would be best if I went back to bed and I did...so that I could be happy and feel better to eat breakfast at a real morning time and not waste calories at night :-)
6:30am Satisfying Breakfast: protein bar 210, followed by fiber one and almond milk 290: 500..great.
snacking: coffee 100, bar 200: 300, good!
big, big lunch, very healthy ingredients but a bit much: cold rice paper wraps with veggies and avocado: 200, soup 160, pita bread 140 with sardines in tomato sauce 160, and mushrooms 50, and roasted cauliflower with olive oil and curry 150: 860, definitely worth every calorie!
snacks: bar and energy drink 160, fruit100
....off to take a walk before dinner, no jog! yes, i did jog! half jog, half walk. at least 4mi. and, i walked this AM a lil :-) a good day.
dinner: around 400
