during the week, i don't have oatmeal bc i eat breakfast at work and do better if it's not too big on volume / fiber like oatmeal is.
on the weekend, i LOVE oatmeal. and with a (usually) chobani yogurt, with fruit on bottom, it's like dessert for breakfast...and very filling volume-wise. it's a joy on the weekend for me as of late - maybe as of this whole past year ! yes, i do get hungry after, so i have a small snack - lately pb on a cracker (whipped pb on small 2x2 square rice cracker like 20 cal per the cracker)
I used to do plain yogurt with stevia and loved it too.
Now I’m hooked on all the tasty Chobani yogurt flavors but you inspire me to go back to basics in the winter :)

i stayed with my folks overnight from last night until around 2:30pm today - did some reading, watched part of the services. then, i drove straight to get a State Car Inspection and oil change, then went to do a pretty complete shopping at the supermarket so i can cook either tonight or later this weekend. got a lot of fruit. I fasted (for the holiday) till i put my groceries away when i got home to my apt, then gave it up at 5:15 to indulge in lots of fresh strawberries! i was going to get takeout also, but, decided to just snack around my apt for dinner, not do a whole takeout just because i fasted today.
will do a short upper body workout before i go to bed.

Maybe do leg workout tonight before driving to parents, just to get it in...or i'll do it tomorrow.
having dinner with my parents tonight at their place. big deal to leave work, commute home, drive to their house. prefer not to get together during the week, but, this year is the plan for this Jewish holiday / dad's bday. My sister is with her husband's side of family in Hungary so it's basically just me and my folks.
I did laundry last night (since i skipped it on the weekend) and since i wanted it done before going to my parents since i am not even sure what i'm doing about the day on Wednesday that i took off for the holiday but not spending it only at parents...i didn't want to fully plan the day, it will end up being somewhat relaxed
- but no matter what i'll get an oil change and get some more food at supermarket (mostly fruit/veg/wraps) and (possibly) cook at least 1 thing tomorrow.
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
I like it when I don't eat all of the food I bring to work, because that means that I don't have to think about what to bring the next day - it's already there for me.
Happy birthday, Dad!
yes, i'm happy with the schedule with my parents...and it's better to just sleep over after dinner tonight with them and not rush home tonight...
my legs are doing a bit better, considering i was on them quite a bit on the weekend.
thanks got asking - i'm trying to get back into my leg strength work with squats / lunges mostly.
a friend of mine showed me some other leg exercises since i don't have a machine at home, they can be done just standing, using the same approach - like the leg curl backwards, just standing it can be done at home as i hold onto something. also, he showed me one that looks like a ballerina when the hold onto a bar and kick backwards with a sraight leg. these are 2 i want to get into my consistent exercise approach also...i have forgotten to do these recently.
thanks for reminding me....

It does pass. Just kind of hard to get through it. And I'm always left with, Why does this happen to me every month??? Hormones are so frustrating - yet it's better to have them than not.

____________________________________
I wanted to be out and about for much of this weekend because this coming week is not a full week for me with the Jewish holiday. I am not sure what i'll be doing to observe because my parents changed the plans a little - they are going to "break the fast" on Wednesday after fasting the whole day at their home and watching the services on television - with their friends who live about 15 min from them and also 15min longer drive back home for me if i would go.
I am not eager to go to their friends house, although i do like their friends. The reasons are simple - it's only my parents and the other couple. None of the other couple's own "kids" (around my age) will be there - they are all doing obviously what's "more convenient" for them. so, why am i going out of my way to be out on a work night having dinner with them and coming home later than i want to before work on Thursday?
Also, if i go to my parents on Tuesday night and sleep there till Wednesday and have dinner with the couple - it means that i cannot be productive at all on Wednesday and do any errands / activities with that time off from work.
Lastly, i don't want to fast all day with my parents, then go home either...? who'd want to leave and drive home after fasting all day - just makes for an unproductive day.
I think i'd rather stay home, get oil change, do laundry, supermarket/exercise....just take it easy on Wednesday a day off this time - i will get out of work on Tuesday early and be off Wednesday.
I was going to go to my parents, till they changed the plan to end on Wednesday with dinner at their friend's house which to me is not relaxing and a longer day than expected out and then around an hour drive back home...
basically, i told my parents i'd see them next weekend to celebrate dad's bday. if nobody else my age is going (not even the couple's own family kids), why should i have to go. ???
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
Oh I totally get why you would not want to go to fast-breaking dinner at your folks' friends' house. And not just because it would be an unproductive day -- in fact, while I completely understand not wanting an unproductive day, it's more about being the only "kid" there. You should not feel obligated to be there, unless you felt that you wanted to be there to support your parents -- which I don't think they need your support. I get it.
also, yes, the Joker was extremely Dark! but it is also good. just touches a LOT on mental illness and sickness.
I think you should do what works for you. If you didn't take your family's feelings into consideration, what would you decide to do?
that is NOT the real plan though.
i'll mostly spend it with my parents and prob sleep over from Tues till Wednesday with them. It's not like i have SO MANY PLACES i need to be. i will prob even watch some of the service with them on Wednesday on TV, we'll see. ;)
sometimes it's not good to be alone all the time either.
Good morning :)

___________________________________
I slept in like I usually do on days off. around 9.5-10 hours from around 10pm until 7:30/8am. this amount of sleep is what i love!
When i woke up, i had some kombucha and also did some light abs exercises.
Moving abs and pushups to the morning mostly before work has been awesome and a time-saver for after work and not needing to do any really long workouts anymore in the evenings.

Today i'm off to drive from Queens to Westchester. visiting my friend C there to see a movie (Britney Runs A Marathon). We have been wanting to see the movie since late August, lol, and it's good it's still playing. This movie theater is in the Palisades Mall...so after it's done, we'll get a snack, visit some other stores & have dinner there at the mall also. I'd like to get frozen yogurt and researched where it is in the mall, lol, so we can go there. and i also looked up a few other things of interest - there's climbing wall but i don't plan to do that today and BUMPER CARS (considering asking if she she wants to) and a baby clothing discount store.
It's a huge mall, if you look it up, Palisades Mall i believe in Westchester or near that area in NY. So many stores, restaurants, activities...endless!
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
When we exercise has a lot to do with getting it done. When I was doing push-ups daily, in the evenings, I would forget, until I got into bed. Well, then I didn't want to have to get up and do them! If you have the time in the morning, go for it. I don't always get up at the same time during the week - I try, but am not always successful - so it's hard to make it a habit.
I agree a lot of my exercise right now is to do it so that I don’t “lose it” - lose the muscles

Glad your legs aren't as painful as they had been!
me too - so i'll rest them most of today...between doing some chores.
grannyannie on 10/14/2019:
Definitely get rest time in! I learned from my shoulder about not overdoing.
thanks Annie, yeah i need it..
BearCountryGG on 10/14/2019:
It just seems to me now that 1 active day for me means several down days with hip pain...of course there are many years between us....but it all jst takes a toll for sure.
Yeah it can be so frustrating but I guess we gotta listen to our bodies :)
