Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
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!
2150 - better than 2250 :)
Breakfast I had what i was craving, carbs, and a big volume: 2 servings of a cheerios-like cereal called Onyxorgum 250, banana 120, and almond milk 30. also a serving of kombucha. 40 total 450.
Protein bar really fake and not healthy and decaf coffee 300, fruit and couple chips and bite of cheese 100
850 at 11am - decent actually
I should pack a snack for sure for during this rally i'm going to. or maybe i'll buy something on the street while i'm out there :) yeah...
1pm snack some of Ricky's sushi 200
1050...
3pm real meal before workout leftovers baked chicken 200?, wrap 120, mashed sweet potatoes 150...500 and a few strawberries and too many pretzels 250
1850 at most ....yeah too much having some issues with overeating
Will be finally making it to the gym today - haven't been there since Monday.
After gym thinking to have light ice cream and call it a night
I realize here that if I want to eat less I will need to plan better and stop with the carbs for breakfast - just gotta plan better, yes.
Earlyish to bed - maybe another movie tonight - because i have to drive to a funeral tomorrow morning.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Slept till around 8am prob around 10hrs. I do have good plans today with Ricky to go to an anti gun march (rally really) at Central Park in NYC and then probably eat lunch somewhere. Later on today i plan to finally visit the gym for a good weights workout. And those are the plans for today. I did end up watching a move last night called Girl in Progress and it actually turned out to be a great movie. I cried a bit!..it was well filmed, written & acted.
Progress as of today: 3 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
When I read "big salad" I instantly wanted one too. I must be feeling better :-)
I hope you will update us on your gym workout. I love stories from the gym.
Workout was pretty good for after a morning cardio session walking in NYC .... slowly I am getting stronger :)
I may have to practice more push-up exercises not sure why my whole life try came easy until recently pr B bc of the change in all my weights exercises
2135 per day this week - high.
Now i'm going to have FOUR days off. I am finishing the year (it ends for us at the end of March) of vacation days. These will be my last 2 on Monday & Tuesday. Tuesday I have 3 major things to do: doctor appt, car appt, and a class. Monday is very free. Eitehr way, the goal is to have a lower cal week - like maybe an average of like 1800 cal per day by the week's end - or around there :).

Due to my most free day next week off from work being MONDAY, i want to go to the gym both tomorrow afternoon and Monday afternoon. Today, i walked around doing errands before going home from work & would rather not bother with just getting out to the gym at 6. Tomorrow & Monday gym sessions worked best this time around :) And i'm happy to be back home now & did get a tiny bit more exercise in my getting off the bus early going home, shopping at the supermarket, walking into bath & body works...just a little more exercise is ok for today.
I sat all workday. But i walked 5min in AM to bus, 10 min at lunch, 5 min to work from train, 5 min back to train, prob 20 min in Forest Hills shopping, and probably 20 min near me shopping...around an hour at least. i'm good with that. i may even watch a movie tonight, as i stopped by the library and rented a couple tonight also. like i said, i stopped in a few places :)
Progress as of today: 3 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!

1350
Trying to remember it all but out of order: chicken 250?-300, stuffed cabbage 150?, nuts and apples 200?, egg whites 100, matzah ball 200 at least, small amounts of other sides 150, maybe that's it...1100As much as 2450 but hopefully less. At least it was semi healthy.
Weekly avg isn't great:2150 or so each day - this causes weight gain for me.
5:45-8:30pm? dinner event - it's an event for the union that my dad is very involved with. starts around 6 and i hope it's over by 8:30pm.
def no additional exercise today...although i may just walk at lunch for at least 10min. i am actually hoping that my coworker stays home due to snow today so i can work alone.
___________________________________________________
My hamster was def born with genetic defects. It's now losing all control of it's back limbs (i think it's a poor calcium intake thing passed from mother to son) and seems to be going paralyzed by loss of back limb control. I can just let it pass away on it's own. I will probably do so in a week or 2 is my guess. I know it was born with defects bc it's been sick on and off since the second week i've ownded it since July. If i get another one, i'll have to make sure it's healthy at the start. I'm surprised actually that this one lived as long as it did - so far it's lived around 9 months with me and maybe like 10 months overall. They are supposed to live 2 years.
It now has a cold and sneezes a bit also. It cost $20 to buy and i have already brought it to the vet once, for like $50. I'm not rich and will not be going to the vet again as it's obvious my hamster has defects that cannot fully be fixed and it's not something i want to include in my budget. Once this hamster passes, I will probably get another one soon as i do enjoy holding them at home.
It has difficulty getting around in the cage..and even difficulty drinking water bc it cannot stand up at all on its hind legs. I will most probably let it pass naturally - not going to bring my hamster to get euthenized.
Progress as of today: 3 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
Wish they could tell us if they hurt.
Hope tonight's dinner event goes well...
5:30am Kombucha 70
7am Kashi granola bar and coffee with milk 200
9:00am Wrap 100 with egg and my tomato mix 100 and turkey pepperoni 50. 250.
11am Banana 120 and nuts 200, few candies also 50
900...when i get home i plan to eat anything else for the day
Lunch: TBD - we may leave very early today from the office due to snow storm...then i plan to eat less...go home to enjoy something .... still not doing as good as i can with calories...so, I'll do better today...
1:30 Home and i binged instead of eating what i had first planned to eat in smaller quantities earlier in the day: small peppers100, pretzels250?huge orange 150, yogurt ,100, 2 granola bars also 200 (i ate this all at once at 1:30 - felt completely out of control).
6:30pm last eating for day: a natural bar and couple small chocolates. my blood sugar was all out of whack after waking up after a nap after my 800 cal binge which thankfully wasn't too bad compared to my past binges years ago. it's good i had veggies and fruit also...but i ate as a way to slow my mind and body and it promotes laziness...as the weather improves i am sure i'll improve.i took a break from exercising today - i could have done some exercises at home, but wasn't in the mood at all.
total today is 2000, maybe a little bit over. - it could have been better but i stress ate a ton....so far and planning for 200 calories in a snack later. once again, slight binge when getting home today around 1:30 from work due to a changed schedule and my own poor coping mechanism (eating).
5day avg: 2090 - good but not great. could always be worse. lately my emotional eating has gotten worse as i feel worse at my current job...i have to continue to push myself like i did when i was younger (to get things done) and try to get outta my head a bit more.
- anything in the mid 2000's is what i consider maintenance. I still have a goal to go below this amount - but maybe if i'm having so much trouble doing so, on weekends my goal is still to eat in the 2000's...i think weekends are my problem area!
once again, there was emotional eating involved today. for sure. i felt unable to stop - and binged more on sugary food than i have in weeks, months, years. really not dealing well with life right now.
_______________________________________________________
A storm is starting this morning, to continue to snow throughout the day...We have work today despite the schools being officially closed and even my gym is closed today..
Progress as of today: 3 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
very hard to get away from the emotional eating habit. i mean any eating that is done past full and/or eating not due to hunger.
but one thing that has changed for me - i do eat more veggies and fruit and usually have at least a little bit of them in my fridge, which, when combined with other high calorie items or just other food it makes it harder and harder to wreck calories completely...i'm saying that thank gosh i have veggies and fruits to reach for also, they help to stave off super high cal binges like i used to have - which did include up to a pack even of granola bars / candy / etc. i don't do it like that anymore...as i've gotten better at having staples at home to eat before i start on those things and like you said i do not buy as much of those temptations. my bread is mostly low carb wraps and lighter regular wraps. and i do not buy too many types of chips or pretzels - just what i'm used to. it's all a work in progress.
my eating reflects my attitude right now and job situation which feels like i am treading water. it can get better though. sorry for the negativity....i'm glad to be able to pay my bills but the uncertainties and questions i have right now in my life is constantly on my mind.
i'm glad you took the assigments - sometimes you have to in order to keep getting assignments...that type of thing would get to me too...but you do have things you CAN reach for that aren't such a derailment to your diet which is the best way to deal with your situation. it's what i do - better alternatives to high cal options.
i think if anyone here needs to give me hard advice, that you should give it. i know i'm being lazy and not working as hard as i could. it's just i have trouble applying myself and doing more at the job.
3am Banana and pb 200, later at 5:45 tea
8am wrap 100 egg and some tomato mix I made 100 and turkey pepperoni 50, coffee 50. 300

_________________________________________
Seems i need to run approx 10min mile to pass the court officer test but not the typical mile...it's also based on other things...but if that's the level, i think i could train up to it.
It took me a long time to start my work today after traveling back from the meeting. i was freezing and it was just about noon so i ate and drank 2 cups of tea and then had a sugar craving so had a granola bar...i was probably mentally procrastinating by eating...doing this estimate work is very confusing for me....and i'm so outta shape...but i'm going to keep training.
Progress as of today: 3 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
thank you for the support. i haven't thrown in the bag just yet...i hope not to...but with current lifestyle i'm debating if i have enough time for both cardio and weights training.
3 day 2083 per day.... will be prepping my vreakfast and lunches this week
8:30am Big Bowl of Cereal: banana 120, blueberries 120, almond milk 50, fiber one 120, and onyxorgum cereal (similar to cheerios) 120, little bit of cinnamon: 550 - EXCELLENT.
11am mid morning: wrap 120, egg 80, butter 30, turkey pepperoni 70, cabbage with some oil 50-100, some kombucha 50: 400-450
1pm before jog: special k cinnamon sugar pastry crisp 100, small coffee on the way to park...

2pm after jog: fat free raspberry yogurt with cooked stevia sweetened cranberries that i like to make and keep in my fridge throughout the winter months 200 cal.
1350...
Banana 120 1450-1500 after banana - Thinking ice cream light for dinner ....puts me around 1850 cal - good - plan is to go home do a little hw and be in bed early as it's an early morning bc I am now going into work early ----------- shorter gym workout I didn't really finish - I don't want to go back later and finish...bc I wanted to go before Appt and decided not to go back after it...bc I have things to do at home and actually could do he for my estimating class which is tomorrow
fully
________________________________________________________________
I was able to take a vacation day today....which helped me do more activities on the weekend that i do not normally do :) so that is good...it's just a day less of jogging, but the good thing is i did walk around more on the other days than i usually do on the weekend...overall, i should say it was a positive weekend.
last night i slept really well again, around 9-10hours. I'm beginning to think that i'm one of those people who does better with a little extra sleep like this.
Plans today are things i need to do but usually have to rush - meaning i have a whole day to do things just for me - i should be really happy to be home and not at work ;) so i am! The best part: sleeping in - getting out of bed bc i wanted to and not bc of an alarm clock!
Planning my day:
1. Shower straight after breakfast so that's done ;)..and it doesn't hold me back from doing the rest of what i need to do today...8:30am
2. All Laundry ... done by 10:30am NOON! and still need to put it all away (LATER) laundry machines were occupied - everything got done a little slower...but i did cook..oh and clean hamster cage...and reading / I DID COOK! some veggies,
3. snack & go running / jogging noon - will go out around 12:30 to jog, YES..
4. snack: cranberries and yogurt and maybe extra fruit :) before gym 300 tops....
5. gym - come back & shower 2:30pm-4:30pm
6. go to appt at 6pm (leave here at 5:30)
7. snack / light dinner after appt and reading or early to bed...the ice cream :) 400
Progress as of today: 3 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
....but it's still better than being at work so i should rejoice and make the most of this sunny day...and go out as soon as i feel a bit better (i was doing some errands / cooking so legs feel weak...lol - i've got work to do!) on my legs i mean!
enjoy your time off...you deserve it after the trip and seeing your son...enjoy your day...do something positive! go outside in the sun if it's warm enough!
I am trying to increase my level but f cardio and will see by December if I have improved enough to keep training for court officer - right now it seems like I have too much to improve but I am not wanting to quit yet.

I'm wondering why this is so hard for all of us...we all seem so tormented by it.
i used to not be as bad as i am now....i think my nerves are up due to job changes so often this winter...i'm def working to fix this though. ...we should realize there's "always tomorrow"

I think we walk such a fine line between what we should do..and what we want to do....do we give in to the moment..or do we wait for the greater good. Somehow the happiness in the moment just seems right, but then we also know that we will feel miserable afterwards. I think that one thing I am not doing is setting a short term goal...something that makes me work towards a specific thing over just a few days....not endless...but short term.
yes, same here...it's fine line...and i'm sorta sick of my pants getting too tight...we need to bite the bullet or we will not make progress...i think all of us on DD are struggling to actually make any changes right now...i've just about had enough and i'm really wanting to lose weight now....being up so many hours is now the difficult part bc i feel very hungry at work in the mornings bc i start work at 7...but if other people can do it...i know i MUST CHANGE by patterns.

I hate that sugar-shaky feeling! If I don't address that like right away, it usually results in off the deep end for me.
It could very well be that the increased activity -- including your commuting and your anxiety -- require a higher calorie intake.
yes, the different commute from driving seems my body is still adjusting.
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.
