Gym tonight. Followed by HOMEWORK which i didn't do yesterday....not a smart move by me to save it for late tonight, but i'll want to finish fast since it's last minute !
2220 3 day avg, decent.
Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
Up in good time around 7:30am. Laundry already done, other things done...makes for an easier sunday. Planning to pick up a few groceries, hang pictures / wall art with Ricky, jog/walk, clean up a hair more around here, do a simple hw assignment, and maybe that'll be just about it. maybe some cooking but very light on that...probably just some cabbage - we'll see!

2day avg: 2300
Ricky gave his fries from arbys to me so I will eat them tonight I think with egg whites and veggies
So that's right donkey about following the rules but I will bring a box of matzah and I do know my Italian coworker likes it
Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
I would say that the cream of wheat violates the "no bread" rule rather than the chickpea pasta does... I would like to try the pasta - thank you for mentioning this, as I had not heard of this alternative.
And you are right the cream of wheat is prob a violation ! Really most things are unless their packaging actually says kosher for Passover as really it should be potatoes and matzah matzah matzah all week - as you see I'm not following so traditionally. But do partake in customary traditional family meals and prayer for this holiday. This method is good for me :)
My mom is a healthy and tasty food cook! Ricky brought the less healthy food haha
Having small meals until Passover holiday dinner tonight. It'll be tons of food...and that's why i'm trying to curb my eating now...i was debating fasting but knew it wouldn't work if i'm going to be home most of the day until this afternoon....that's why at noon i'll be watching a movie with Ricky at his apt.
Light meals/snacks during morning: banana 120, kombucha 60, light ice cream 150, then turned to some protein pepperoni 100 and a roasted turkey dog that tasted terrible that i made a packet of 100. total here: 500-550. good. i really want to save up calories...
600...
______________________________________________
I did eat a lot of healthy things at dinner, trying to remember everything:
Moscato wine around 150 cal?
Tastes of Matzah and other things 100
Small piece of brisket 150?
2 servings roasted green beans 200?
2 servings roasted asparagus 150?
Farfel with mushroom dish small amount 150?
Wayy too sweet dish my friend bought made out of egg / sugar / potato / pineapple 200?
another dish same friend brought of sweet potato pudding thing 150?
am i missing anything??? hmmm....? my mom made potatoes but i didn't take bc i took all the other sweet things already. i think this is it! ...
oh....and a soup made out of squash my mom made which was nice and light but also added roasted pumpkin seeds on top, nice serving of it...250?

so, 2550 for Saturday. not bad, no exercise though.
so really, the reason i overeat was sweets of things my friend brought and dessert. my mom usually makes really healthy dinners, as you see.
Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!

snack after workout...possibly ice cream or possibly yogurt and cranberries..tbd.
_________________________________________________
total was 2250, really hungry day. i'm glad i didn't skip my workout and i also got tons of cardio in today by walking extra and getting off the bus earlier than my stop while coming home! now i know a good location to get off so i have just over a mile (like just over 20min) to walk home. perfect. it's a good location bc this bus stop is always annouced so it's hard to miss it!
weekly average: 2080- seems ok.
Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!

2070, 5day avg.
perhaps with my activity and early hours, eating below this amount doesn't seem as easy as it used to be.
Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
It could very well be that the increased activity -- including your commuting and your anxiety -- require a higher calorie intake.
i also go off the deep end with the sugar lows, etc. and that's why i like some carbs in my life...and why low carb didn't fully work for me.
have a good day, Jdonk.
7am Breakfast: oatbran with almond milk and packet of sunflower seed butter i've been wanting to use (i may have had it at least 6months even maybe 1yr at my apt) 350, kombucha 60. 410.
10am-noon Snacks: almonds & twizzlers 300, coffee50
1:30-2pm - Lunch back at home: tomato soup with veggies 200, turkey pepperoni 50, a one of those supposedly 200 cal cali'flour (that's the brand) pizza crusts that i bought to try...i have 4 more crusts (2 per box) in my freezer. 450. i really don't know if they can be that possibly healthy...seems more cheese in them. but if they really are only the 180 cal they claim, the product is EXCELLENT. it's good enough to def eat without toppings. i really don't think their calorie totals are right...because the product is quite big and most things that are only 200 cals just aren't that big...so...it can def be a scam with their calorie counts.
1300 after very tasty lunch.
1450 after big banana and gum...
1800 today, though i really don't know if the califlour crust is so low in cals....haha but very happy about the total. it was better especially bc i was busy and not home as much :)
2050 4-day avg - very happy it's back down :) and not 2200 or so...still i am working to eat less again / be more moderate so i can lose a few pounds and stop the gaining cycle.
_______________________________________________________
I will do homework for class tonight - just realized it's one question not needing too much thought. but will find what i think is the right answer- should take 15 min at most, sometime during waiting for the oil change.
9:30 till noon: At car dealership till around 2pm so taking a 3mi walk around since they have my car 4 hours might as well exercise - legs tired after 1 mi so I know I need to do this more which I am ! after i sat for a little while luckily after my long walk, they told me they didn't have the part and i'd have to come back ANOTHER DAY! I didn't get too upset as i got a walk in, had a free coffee there, asked to charge my phone....so i just made the appt, but it's a month away as that's the next time i can take a weekday off.
12:30pm I bought new car front windshield wipers and oil change. lots $ but needed most things. I needed the wipers as i was only going to get them at AutoZone
2:30pm Still need to do this - i'll go out again around 2:30pm after i eat...and then realized i might as well get an oil change at a nearby service station as my car is also due for one. ran out of time for oil change.
4pm-7:30pm: I have a 4pm dr appt and 5pm class tonight. picking up rX after class ends at 7pm....glad i rested yesterday as today i'm happy to get this stuff done. but seems i'm spending tons of $$$$ my days off lol...ah well...sometimes you have to.

Yesterday, splurged on 2 new workout shirts as mine had pulls in them - from Modell's while doing other errands last night.
Also yesterday, On Amazon, I got tall rain boots which you do need here in winter and sping and any time the weaather calls for them - esp taking public transportation...
Progress as of today: 3 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
i don't believe the company's claim that one of their huge 9" pie crusts is only 180 cal. It seems off. Because i think of these calories based on the size, the amount of oil/cheese and the fact that i cannot tell what is cheese only and what is cauliflower. just seems that it's too big to only be 180 cal and i am usually pretty accurate in my estimates. It's simply too big to be 180 cal. perhaps a smaller piece of it is 180, but not the whole thing. i hate scams.
why do you question the work/life balance?
i know it was just errands, i was totally ok with this...ha.
i know i'm lucky.
keep on. i think it's all mind over matter, actually. but of course also there is truth in that increasing something too quickly (mileage or intensity) can cause injury. this is what scares me. nonetheless, mind over matter.
i've been so lazy so long that i forgot what it even means to push myself...my goal i guess would be to get in some cardio on mornings on the weekend, instead of laying in bed....
how long do your 3 miles take? 45 min?
the cauli crusts have many recipes online. There's NO WAY that the ones i bought can be only 60 calories for a 1/3 of them....i just cannot believe those nutrition facts. something is definitely off on them. there's too much oil, cheese to be 60 cal...and 180 cal for the whole thing. i DO think it's a scam. I wrote my question on their facebook page and they didn't get back to me....but they do get back to others' questions. i'll let you know if i hear a reply. also, this package of two crusts cost me around $15. It was a HUGE splurge. Because i bought 3 packages.
7:30 breakfast: banana and choc protein muffin 360
9:30am no appetite but enjoyed a choc bar of some (it was on sale for 50 cents so i bought 2 a couple days ago) 230
11am big tasty apple 110
Noon lunch: leftovers and healthy. wrap 100, with leftover mashed sweet potato 100 and sorta big portion of chicken 300 most. 500.
1200.
Healthy snack 4001600.
2150 total
2125 3 day
________________________________________________________________________
Really happy to have today off from work.
Tomorrow I actually have errands type of plans (car recall to bring into dealer, dr appt, 2nd to last estimating class - 10 total weeks it went for)
Just really happy to not have big plans.. so just doing little things here and there around the apartment and catching up with all of you.
Planning to go to gym around 5pm.
I also plan to drop off materials at library :) and possibly other smaller-scale things.
Progress as of today: 3 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
Happy Sunday :) It is bc i know i have 2 more days off after today woohoo.
Up sorta early around 7:30 bc i am attending a funeral for a family friend's grandma. She was living into her 90's and died in surgery i think! It must have been an unfortunate complication.
7:30am Breakfast: fruit and kombucha 80 is what i wanted. small banana 120, leftover strawberries just a few 30, blueberries 120. 350.
9am Snack: pb 200
12pm light lunch dunkin donuts wake up wrap and decaf coffee 250 oh and granola bar 100. 350.
2pm once i got home: finally a ton of veggies and some soy meat 400? and then these really tasty chips but very high cal 250. 650 total.
4:30 2 clementines and tea...as well as some sf jello that i'm not counting. 50 oh and ice cream light 1 serving. 100
5:30pm cauliflower pizza crust... i admit to having really bad overeating issues lately. i really 200, coconut yogurt 150
2050, done!.
For the rest of the day, planning on laundry and eating lighter, before possibly watching a movie with Ricky or also possibly just watching one of mine here at home - if i want to keep calories in check, best i just stay home - we'll see.
I'll be picking up some cooked veggies to eat today at home, then doing laundry, I will walk at park but planning on just going around 1-2 times which equals 1.5mi at most. then i want to visit my friend to watch a movie....seems like a lot, so i might cut out the walking at the park...bc my legs are a little tired today from yesterday.
I did stop at a specialty food store near the funeral which happens to be one of the like 6 only shops in all of Manhattan and Long Island that carry these Cauliflower Pizza Crusts made from mostly cheese and cauliflower that i keep seeing advertised on Facebook. So i drove there, perhaps around 20 min from the funeral out east a little more. anyways, i bought them and also bought new sneakers as i have been wanting to do this for around 2-4 weeks now.
I didn't buy new office type dressier shoes shoes bc i figure my flats are good enough that i own now and at work i can change into the sneakers i use on my commute into flats in the office...and that i do not need right now to buy any more sneakers or shoes. the sneakers happened to be buy one get one half and sports bras were on sale for $10 each so i bought a couple since i hadn't done that in awhile...i wanted also workout shirts bc mine i actually getting torn but they didn't have much of a selection and were made with polyester which i do not like that material in any of my shirts, let alone workout tops.
Progress as of today: 3 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
Careful with your legs!
