Ricky came over to give me some of my stuff i had left at his apt (since our relationship is no longer the same as it was). and the visit was longer bc of course i asked him for his help on a few things and to order a TV antenna bc i'm ending my cable TV soon.

I Picked up some fruit and veggies in downtown flushing, where i was after the concert, and some takeout chinese food. it's all asian there and i did that instead of going to a supermarket for stuff by me.
I have so much cooked food, i'll have to freeze some of it either tonight or tomorrow - so it doesn't go to waste!
___________________________________________________
Things on fast shopping trip today: avocados, tomatoes/other veggies, wraps, oatmeal, cold brew coffee, almond milk, and a few yogurts, salami if there's any sales.. that's it! i have still a full fridge with all the tasty food i've made :) as well as leftovers!
____________________________________________________________________
At 8am, I have a corned beef in the slow cooker and i'm cooking veggies (roasted peppers and garlic) in the oven also.
Yesterday, I slow cooked some tasty squash. lots of good, homemade eats for this week! the squash is a bit on the very healthy side. very little seasoning, so, i may add some sauce when i eat it during the week (ie - indian dish to add directly on top of the squash).
Before 10am, my clothes are in the washer and everything is cleaned up!
Very productive and long morning to get things done :)
Today i'm off to watch a Flamenco Dancing concert which starts early at 2pm. The concert lasts around one hour at the library and free. After the concert, i'm going to take a walk outside :)
Yesterday's Bollywood and other Indian dance concert was very enjoyable. Glad i went. It was also motivating for me, to make sure i got the gym in and did my best there. And surprisingly, yesterday's gym workout was STRONG!? even after a week off, it was wayyy better than expected (except for push-ups, but they'll improve as usual!)
I've been waking up early all weekend, prob bc i slept TONS last week. On average, it was probably 10hrs per night. I was taking cold meds and they were knocking me out every night. :) def helped me feel better. I still need to take some meds for easier breathing, it seems, particularlly at night. but overall, i'm in a much better position now than i was on Monday morning when i initially felt sick.
Progress as of today: 1 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
7am Breakfast: oatmeal 150 with almond milk 30, and dark chocolate sf chips 50. cold brew coffee with milk 50. 300 :)

dinner: a full meal, so tasty, wrap 120, avocado 160, salt and pepper, egg white only 20, and grilled veggies in some oil and balsamic 150, chips 150. 600
total around 2250, fine! healthy eats!
________________________________________
Off to watch a free library dance performance later today starting at 3pm for an hour, then i am off to the gym! Same tomorrow, my plan is to go to another free library dance perforamance and tomorrow it's in a really nice library full size auditorium. Today, it'll be my first time at this particular library, so i do not know what to expect or what kind of performance room this show will be held in...but i like the town it's being held. It's called Sunnyside, in Queens. Tomorrow i'll be closer to home, in Flushing, Queens (which is my zip code, so definitely closer).
Today's performance is Bollywood Dance. And tomorrow's performance is Flamenco dance.
Using my slow cooker this afternoon to cook some big halves of Kabocha squash i had bought (also called spanish pumpkin, low calorie thing). i'm flavoring it as dessert with cinnamon and butter mix. and sf granular sugar. recipe calls for cooking on low 6-8 hours - should taste awesome later after all that time cooking!
________________________________________________________________
Happy Saturday! Woke up really early, 7am! Ready to be productive at least right now finishing up my taxes and waiting to see if any other docs come in the mail before i submit my taxes, nice and early ahead of the mid-April deadline :) Also seeing about opening another PayPal Account as i learned of a really great way to add points to my credit card by transferring funds between Credit Card and Paypal accounts. That's my advice, if you want more credit card points :) Going thru my credit cards, choosing the one i will mostly use this year and putting the others away for an emergency (no emergencies though!).
I've input all my tax info to Turbo Tax online, ready to file. Overpaid to use Turbo Tax accidentally. I should have bought the tools on Amazon for 49.99 with PC online Install. Instead, I paid on the Turbo Tax Intuit site separately by accident for Federal and state, each 39.99. so i paid $80 instead of $50. and i do not want to do it all again after doing it a couple hours last night already. So, instead of deleting all my info and starting again, I'm paying the $80. I'll still wait till March until I actually send this in, in case i receive any last minute tax documents in the mail :)
Progress as of today: 1 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
Sounds like your lunch date went really well, menu-wise! Delicious!
you can always eat more (veggies) haha. :) if you are constantly having a raging appetite, eat more. one meal a day at least should be very satisfying.
i'm happy i at least have what i need ready to send out, i'll work to send them out at the end of February, too.
kombucha 50
wrap 60, half avocado (heavier on fats in AM i like, unlike LEGCRAMPS! haha) 150, 3 thin slices salami 50, smoked salt. unlike some people, i like to add some salt. it makes me feel good and has health benefits. I am NOT salt free :) coffee 50.

___________________________________________________________________
I have a third lunch date with this guy. I get to choose the restaurant every single time. He likes HEALTHY! Today, we are going to a cute place called The Little Beet. Tons of veggies and roasted ones! I have a feeling he'll like it. The other two times out we first went to a buffet and second time was a bar with good salads. so this time is a mix, sorta in the middle, and no wait time for service since it's Chipotle style...and seated afterwards.
Woke up with still a hair of congestion. Bc i took PM cold meds, i could have slept longer and was still tired waking up. I'm glad i did NOT exercise last night. :)
Progress as of today: 1 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
I don't mind adding avocado as a fat, but I was feeling sluggish from bacon fat. I must admit there were a couple of days there were I added both fats to the same meal, so maybe that had something to do with it too!
Have an awesome lunch date!
yeah, maybe you needed LESS on the bacon. just a little bit not a whole serving.
thank you on the good thoughts for this lunch date.
it was nice, the date. no sparks though, just a friendship it seems.
Kombucha, not much, 50 cal but really not even that much :)
Breakfast: wrap 60, half avocado 160, 2 thin slices salami 40, smoked salt and pepper. matcha and milk, stevia, 50. 310...and some really taste cake from Ukraine that is very dry like a merangue and amazing with a few nuts. it's called Kiev, like the place it's from in Ukraine. 100-150. the cake looks like this, but no chocolate topping, it was all white/light color with small hazelnuts, photo here. it's like a fancy merangue cookie with some hazelnut frosting. amazing.

Snack: have one of those new Quest Hero bars that i ike a lot and are surprisingly just under 200 cal. highly recommend this protein bar. but it does cause more gas, this bar...something to keep in mind, a little bit.
Lunch: from home, same as all week which is veggies with a little pesto (smaller serving) and tofu (also smaller serving). total here: 400., tomatoes 50. 450..
snacks: clementine very ripe 50, pitachios 150, chocolate 100. 300.

6day 2086
no exercise tonight i've decided to keep the resting and sleep early....at least i did the cardio all week.
Planning to take maybe the slow local train home (based on how crowed the express train is)...because i am enjoying this book and just want to relax...outta the office, away from the computer.
______________________________________
I'll get a really good exercise session in Saturday, to get a head start on the exercise and not have to wait until Sunday since i will not be working out at all this week...really may change my mind though, I"M THINKING TO EXERCISE TONIGHT! :)
If i can continue to feel better as the day goes on...
Last night i slept thru the night but my nose was clogged in the morning and the back of my throat was a bit mucosy...but now all better...i am sleeping lots of really don't wanna skip tonight's workout.
Once again, it's how i feel...really not in the mood to keep skipping. but working out when sick is also not a good idea...
Progress as of today: 1 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
I hear you about maybe changing your mind about exercising tonight; I am doing the same thing right now. I think we must be in the same boat - clogged sinuses is where it's at LOL.
Hope you're feeling better soon!
i figure it'll be good to get to bed early again and just end the week on a strong note.
at least i was looking super in Miami and got all the photos i could ever want of myself then :-) ....things will improve for both of us when Spring arrives.

2150 healthy Cals today and the 3mi walk home :)
no real exercise besides my commute and possible walking at lunch. - walked at commute and lunch....starting to consider walking after work for part of the commute...and buying a decaf coffee to enjoy on the walk :) yeah.....starting to feel a little bit better and prefer to move around than be sitting all commute...i'll update to say if i've done part of the commute long walk from subway...air isn't too cold out, like 40F, which is why i'm not wanting to stop the fitness completely, plus it burns calories!
______________________________________________________
Thankfully, I was able to sleep deeply thru the night and would have kept sleeping if not for my alarm! I'm gald i didn't wake up like the night before to blow my nose for an hour. Still, i am sick and realize i will not be doing any exercise yet and allowing myself instead to sleep early again tonight so i can get rid of this cold. I took a better medicine last night to counteract the sneezing and runny nose which weren't symptoms the other medicine was covering the night before - oops! At least i'm on the right track now!

______________________________________
Glad i had cold meds for daytime and nightime in my apt and i was able to use them as soon as i felt sick yesterday...makes the healing process easier.
______________________________________
Had trouble sleeping due to a cold and blowing my nose all night... I really didn't think i'd wake up Monday with a cold since i slept so much on weekend (although didn't sleep great last week). i guess so many factors play in when you get sick! at least for now it's only a cold. no workout Tonight, that's for sure.
Progress as of today: 1 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
Yeah, not doing a workout tonight, it would be very stupid as i'm sick and i know, from experience, it makes things worse :(
thank you for the tips.
today it's going to be 60F in New York!
One brand is always on sale, in dark brown bottles by me, called Kevita Kombucha. I like the price. it has stevia and is super flavorful, but also has caffeine.
I have always loved Synergy brand / GT's kombucha brand. they have so many flavors and definitely watch the sugar in them. this brand is probably the most natural of them all and been around one of the longest.
those above are my two favorites and to stop the boredom i do try other brands when i can. some other brands are just overpriced so i don't try them as often.
I also like Dr. Brew flavors, but, the top doesn't seal back on so if you don't finish the drink in one sitting is gets annoying to seal it tightly again in the fridge!
i like to mix it up but still enjoy the "forbidden foods" in moderation for sure :)
Kombucha 50
Breakfast: wrap 60, 1/4 large avocado 100, egg 80, salt, 1 slice salami 20, coffee 50, 3 milky way minis 120. total here: 450.
10am almonds 50
snack: TBD, prob protein bar. bhu fit tasty apple cinnamon and nutmeg bar pretty natural 200
lunch: leftovers, tasty: tofu 150, veggies (lima beans, peas, carrots, corn 250?) with pesto sauce 150. clementine 50. 600
snacks: i have these too ripe fruits with me, a grapefruit and a clementine. i'll eat them both this afternoon; grapefruit 100, almonds 50, 2 cough drops 50.
Decaf coffee on walk - did most of it but used the bus towards the end )
Light dinner toight and early bed.6oz blackberries around 100, protein bar 230, and unsweetened almond milk with pumpkin pie spice and stevia. around 350, perfect.
1950, execellent. took some liquid cold medicine, bed soon :) around 8-8:30pm.
3day: 2166, much better.
____________________________________________________
Exercise Thoughts based on how i am feeling later today and tomorrow:
I have a cold with irritation in my throat and sneezing / minor congestion.
Looking to nip it in the bud so i can continue with weight training tomorrow night...if i am feeling at all sicker or even still with this cold, i will have to skip the exercise tomororw night...And take a day off this week to rest and get this cold out of the way.
If i feel ok tonight, i'll still do the hour walk home from the subway because temps have warmed and i haven't done any walking / cardio since Friday...this i plan to keep in the mix for tonight.
The worst is trying to stay on top of fitness but getting sicker. Then in the end, you end up missing more gym and being more sick - so trying to make good, MODERATE choices.
_______________________________________________________
Woke up with a cold, but, was eager for some reason to get outta bed and i did a quick cleaning of my shower / tub and bathroom sink before i showered and got ready for the day!!!! success! it feels SO GOOD to have cleaned it! It was on the backburner too long and I feel so much better now having it cleaned for the next month or so, lol.
Progress as of today: 1 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
And now, I should listen to my own advice LOL
Good Morning! Up by 7am but in bed around 10pm. nice sleep for me!!

10:30 - 11am snacks - half cauliflower crust 90 with good serving of parm pesto 100. 200; no cal drinks...hamster cage is done, some cleaning done, next is some reading. i always have trouble focusing on reading at home since i do it so well now on my commutes, but this Colin Powell Autobiograhy is sooo long (over 600 pages) that i'm having trouble even reaching page 300 and i want to get onto a another book sometime soon (by the end of this month!) :) his book is great, highly recommend! 80 cal drink and cauliflower crust 80

2day 2270/day
__________________________________________________
Really not too much in store today besides:
putting my laundry away - DONE :),
cleaning the hamster cage - DONE :),
quick cleaning of bathtub (maybe), - not sure this will happen today. - NEXT WEEKEND or maybe Wednesday night.
reading..a little bit, yes.
and going OUT to the gym...success!
I was thinking to do some outdoor cardio, also, but changed my mind as i'm feeling a bit tired and will just rest most of today.
Today's only focus is the gym.
I'm going to plan for gym as my afternoon plan, shortly after lunch, around 1:00pm i 'll go so that i can come back early tonight from there and get to bed early again = good start to this week!
No cardio today. Another rest day with cardio happening tomorrow after work, my typical hour (3mi) walk home. :-P and it'll be much warmer :)
Also, i'm going to "plan" my meals for the week better by making all my wraps TODAY for breakfasts and also thinking about my lunches. I have to throw some food out today because i had too much laying around last week and didn't finish it all (poor planning but also several unplanned coworker/date/meeting lunches at work - 3 to be exact out of the 5 days so food got wasted of my own since they all involved eating what was catered or going out to a restaurant which was enjoyable, no doubt!).
______________________________________________________
So the 46yo Jason that i've been on two lunch dates with - they've both gone well, but, it seems he's very preoccupied on weekends and doesn't text at all. It's kinda actually a good thing, although it bothers me, because i'm still getting acclimated myself after this trip. I am not even going to superbowl with friends bc my bigger priority is for an excellent workout session and without having to rush from that to them (they live like 45 min away so it's not so easy to just go!). So, it's good he's not texting as i am preoccupied too, but, anyhow, it's nice to get a text and i wonder if he's thinking of me at all...or if he's interested to date again. Of course, i would date again as it's a great experience and he's a nice guy. I'd get to know him more. I don't think it'd ever become serious with him, though.
Progress as of today: 1 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
I kind of like that you're focused on getting a great gym workout today. That just sounds really ... IDK... inspirational.
thanks for the positive energy :) the gym actually worked out really well, saw many "regulars" that have been there for YEARS!
One of the things I was and am still really grateful for with BF, is we always text each other good morning. Nothing wrong with sending him one text over the weekend to let him know you are thinking of him! In my opinion, whether one is preoccupied or not - taking a few seconds to text or connect with someone you're interested in or dating - should be something you (or he) wouldn't have a problem taking the time to do.
yeah, i'm wondering what has him so preoccupied on the weekend. and he hasn't texted me today - i'm thinking it wasn't a match meant to be at all. :) which is sooo totally ok :)
9am Light Breakfast: 6 oz blackberries 80 and the rest of a no calorie amino acid drink Bang - no caffeine cotton candy flavor. :) - chocolate 50
10:30am veggies not the best quality precooked at supermarket but very inexpensive - I’ll put a save in them - maybe some Indian if I swing by to get it later 100, wrap 120, egg 80, salami 50, mustard ..small fruit chew and iced coffee at home - gonna read and relax and forget about chores like laundry and buying kombucha. Rest day right now.
Noon almond joy and seltzer 100, ice cream 100
3pm meal before driving to parent's to see them, sister and her hubby and baby, full meal: heated up cauliflower crust 200, with half avocado 160 and some pesto sauce 100. total here: 450 in tasty health. and one salami 20. 500. and a fancy low cal drink.
Cookie 200, taco shells 200, meat 250, avocado 100, oil 50, beans 100, veggies 200. 1100
2400...oops !!
i thought i'd be more around 2250-2300...but didn't really watch close enough. at least the food was tasty and mostly in moderation.
______________________________________
ok by noon and after my shower I am feeling better :) laundry is in the washers and I am still reading. Will run a few errands when laundry is drying to pick up kombucha and drop off one of my winter jackets to be fixed and buy Stamps :)
___________________________________________________________________________________
Slept in till around 9am, may go back to bed after a snack :) not rushing thru this weekend, just minimal tasks & i'm happy...today i'm going to see my parents and my sister/husband and the baby. so, that's the big event. no super bowl party as today is the social activity and tomorrow is laundry and gym...less is more this weekend!
I do need to pick up some kombucha this weekend though.
Progress as of today: 1 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!

7 day: 2110, VERY GOOD AVERAGE :) good for weight maintenance.
Probably early to bed and sleep most of tomorrow morning as my sleep hasn't been enough & i don't want to be getting sick. I may take a sleeping pill to knock out, as i've been doing it seems weekly...yup took it :)
_____________________________________
Prepared today to do the walk home in the 20F weather, i brought in my bag two packages both of the hand warmers and foot warmers. Those pads you stick in your gloves and shoes that last like 8 hours. I'll be using them for my hour walk home tonight :) As i DO want to get the long walk in. Hving those warmers, the walk shouldn't be very difficult tonight at all. :) If i didn't have the warmers, there's little chance i'd opt to walk 3mi in the 20F weather after work today.
Also today, I'm meetng that man for a lunch date again. His name is Jason. He's 46 and i'm 36. I want to defitely know how many kids he has, if it's more than the two i know of. And their names.
lunch date, i want to either order a salad somewhere OR go to buffet again (since it'll be like 18 degrees, i can sorta forecase that we'll do the same thing as last week - but this time he's paying for drinks (at a buffet where there's no free water) and i will not take waters out from work for him and myself lol)....although, if it weren't a date, i totally would do it again bc that's me...REALLY FRUGAL.
Also for the lunch date, i have a pimple on my chin so i did bring makeup to apply before we meet, later.
Progress as of today: 1 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
Sounds like a lovely lunch date :) and I would probably be frugal with the water too! Actually, I probably wouldn't even go to a restaurant that doesn't serve free water, but that's partly because there's no such thing where I live 8D

I hope you enjoyed today's concert as well! How nice to have these free cultural experiences so close for you to experience.
Oh I bet your place is going to smell so good as the corned beef comes to completion! We were just talking about that at dinner last night because St. Patrick's day is coming up.
I'm so happy to hear that you had a really nice workout at the gym yesterday. Do you still have multiple memberships, now that you workout at home too?
yes, i am VERY lucky with these free cultural events at the libraries. Yesterday's library was prob just under a half hour away with a little traffic. Today's event was 20minutes away and would have been faster if no traffic. easy! And i like that they are only around 1hr! easy to get to, easy to fit into the afternoon! and FREE but usually with talent (and hard work!).
Corned Beef does smell great!
i ended up, btw, picking up Chinese since i was in a PURELY Chinese part of Queens. It's seriously ONLY Asian. It's like you are in China. Hardly anymore walking around isn't. So, now i have wayyyyy tooo much food and must freeze some.
I am only a member of the one gym right now that is quite expensive and a yearly membership. When i bought the membership, last Spring, it was BEFORE i bought all my exercise equipment for my apartment. I will definitely still rejoin a gym when the membership is up because it's nice to get out of the apartment especially on a weekend if i have the time - but not rejoin this particular gym as it's the MOST expensive one. It's also the closest, but i do have another option with decent parking just a little farther which is fine for my weekends only. Plus, the other gym is $200 LESS per year ;) I'll also check if there's any other options.
Unfortunately, i cannot join a place like Planet Fitness or Blink in Queens because they are TOO CROWDED and there's wait time to use benches and equipment which is not convenient for regular gym-goers! So, I DO have to pay a little more, depending what gym I choose, for decent equipment and a little less of a crowd!

We are working on adding to our home gym because there aren't any nearby.
