hungry again, middle of the night. - and i did have a nice dinner: chicken salad, with croutons, chips even, too!
so, 3:30am snack: tasty oatmeal flavored protein bar: 250.
breakfast: probably oatmeal and a protein pudding, yup! 400.
snack: protein bar, same one? 250.
lunch: thinking some canned pumpkin with added nutmeg & cinnamon and sweet and low, 1/2 turkey sandwich 400...
2250, some exercise, and a HORRIBLE rash on my temples of my forehead. pimples like crazy and i usually have generally clear skin. all of a sudden, pimples EVERYWHERE even other parts of my face, a terrible period with clotting, and horrible mood swings. something went wrong this week with my hormones, this is nOT normal for me. and my sleep was horrible to boot. not sure what is going on. parents are forcing me to the dermatologist tomorrow.
things are not going well for me. i am completely exhausted and i feel stressed most of the time i'm at work. this week i worked 3 days of 7am-5:30pm and 2 days of 8am-5:30pm. it's a lot, also around 1 hour commute each way, so two more hours just driving. hard to get to the gym and do really anything else.
something is not right.

ate too damn much later in the evening: instead of a protein bar after working out, i had a half a wrap and large soup. was very filling, and in some ways higher calories but HEALTHIER than all the fake of a protein bar. i had a creamy butternut squash soup and healthy half a chicken wrap. but still around 550-600 cals.
total: 1900-2000 cal. is ok. no binging! :-)
exercise: 40 min of good cardio. little bit of arm weights and back for a few minutes, too.
ok, i am deciding to forget about the binge after thanksgiving and just work to keep up the exercise and what i've been doing, because aside from that day i was very successful in losing weight...i'm gonna keep doing what i've been doing and FORGET about trying to even out calories.

The acupuncture sounded scary! It sounds like that guy made some pretty bad mistakes. At least you got out with your eye in tact! If you feel like your ankle is doing better, that's great. Maybe just a different person next time!

If you are interested in my dating life or acupuncture experience, read the entry below! :-D
4am: two protein bars, woke up hungry lol. 440
7:30am breakfast: shake (was supposed to be a pudding but was liquidy) vanilla pudding sugar free mix, banana, 1/4 cup pumpkin, tablespoon chia seeds that i bought from either GNC or Vitamin World lol - i forget which store but probably both carry them, some milk, cinnamon: 350, then a few rice cakes 60 & protein bar 220. total here: 630 or so, good.
total so far: 1070, yes feeling bingy at night and at breakfast, typical for me on/after a holiday. i'll have to stay busy and keep myself occupied lol....don't want to have a bad day.
10am snacking: rice cakes: 200, cheddar goldfish 260, pringles 220, hugest brownie 600, two slices pumpkin pie 650: 1930 lol....
3000 so far. i gave in...but i do plan to go the the park and gym today. i figure up to 4500 calories or so today.
4500 cal so far, 3pm- lots of cake/candy...oh well, if i'm gonna go all out with the eating, let me just keep it to today and not tomorrow. that's my plan. i kinda crapped out on being anywhere near healthy today - i think i'd be eating too much sugar free stuff - which also brings on binging with me. that and the combination of holiday food in the house. it's over though - i'll be OK.
6000 total calories on Friday. (extra 4000 cal above my needs.)

Acupuncture was overall an interesting experience. I had it done at a school for massage/acupuncture by probably a senior student. He was a 60 yr old male and he did make a couple poor mistakes: when he was putting some rubbing alcohol at the bridge of my nose, between my eyes, he accidentally let it drip to get right into the corners right next to my eyes!!!!!!!!!!! Thank god, my eyes had been closed and the alcohol did not actually reach inside my eyes! If it did, I have no idea of the consequences but I assure you they would be horrible!
this man made was that he was doing first acupuncture on the front of my body and then was going to do acupunture also face down. He started face up. I must also mention that he decided to also put a few needles right directly below my breasts. I think he might have been doing this just because I am a young female, 29 yrs old, and he just wanted to do my abdomen and really close to the breast tissue?
The other royally bad mistake was that after doing my first half the body, face up, he went to remove all needles and have me turn over. I started to turn, and then realized there was STILL ONE NEEDLE in my ankle! yeah, so thankfully I noticed it and asked him to pull it out. I was thankful that he didn't do any needles in my scalp/head and/or forget to leave those in!
The 1.5 hour appt started a half hour late and he was rushing, as well. I did get my full time, but I could tell he was still rushing. I came for two things: lower back pain and left ankle pain: It may just be in my imaginatino, but i think my left ankle IS DOING BETTER and is slightly stronger due to the acupuncture. I am thinking of continuing with some acupuncture for my left ankle. I broke it 10 years ago, really badly, and it didn't heal that well. I get pain and weakness often. But lately i've been able to start jogging! especially after this acupuncture. It is relatively inexpensive, because it's a school, so now i just have to find a GOOD acupuncturist/student/....it's always guess & test with these kinds of health aids, you know? Same kinda idea with massage when you get it done at a school - you obviously cannot expect to find someone fully experienced and solid in performance in what they do. We all have to start somewhere...

Okay, now the date update! I have been dating this guy since the summer...but really only the summer though labor day and then our schedule were conflicting so it took till last weekend. We did stay in touch each week though and texted often, like probably at least 3-4 days every single week. We have known each other for probably around 5 years, but only have gone out maybe 10 times. I think he's a really nice guy, not a player, and we'll see how it continues with us...
Last weekend we went to a healthy food & environmental fair. It was something he wanted to do and I of course was excited to go with him. Overall, I had a good time. We ate good food and enjoyed each other's company. I met one of his bosses and his boss even gave me a little gift at the end of the night, just to be nice and everything! I thought it was so nice and genuine, being that his boss had just met me!
After that, we quickly went shopping for him which I thought was so cool because we went to Target and usually that's an activity that is done when you are more officially a couple, right? A few dates ago, we wouldn't have done something so routine or laid back. The date would be treated more formally, so I'm glad we are more comfortable enough with each other to go into Target together. Perhaps this sounds weird, but that's just how I feel....
After Target, we went to the mall to check out movies, none of which we liked. So we went to the bar and I had a big glass of tasty beer and he had two. (a place known for the unique beers from all over the world). We were more flirty and everything with the beer and also conversation went even better of course. We went back to his house and you know how the rest goes. This isn't the first time we've enjoyed each other like that...and I hope he likes me more than for this reason. I enjoy being with him as well and don't want that aspect to stop, but I do realize we have to continue to get to know each other, which we are. I feel that if we can now see each other more regularly, things can progress into a relationship. If we can't I will have to decide if it's worth continuing to pursue him at all.
If you guys have feedback, I'd love your honest opinions, even if you don't agree with some of my feelings. I'd love to hear your critique of my situation! and thank you! :-)
