________________________________________
trying to skip taking friday off and save the vacation day for when i really want it, as the weather is colder in fall and winter. depends if my friend can do the beach on the weekend or if she has plans. if she already has plans, i'll still take tomorrow off and keep our beach day....
because i took a whole week at the beginning of the vacation season in April, i have used quite a bit of days and don't want to be stretched too thin and have nothing left come January, February, March. ::) either way, it's one day, not too big an issue either way.
edit - yes, working Friday and Beach Saturday since my weekend has freed up and it doesn't make sense to take off right now, life is easy :) yes, it would be nice to sleep in, but no, that day doesn't need to be tomorrow - it'd be better around the week that i have a meeting or multiple appts or events. this was a slow week, it's best i keep on working... :)

dmv didn't work out exactly as planned, so got the regular ID. i only had a copy of the W2 instead of the original (or a Social sec card can be used but i didn't have that in place either). so i settled for a basic driver's license and called it a day as at least i got a new photo and the line wasn't that long...and i don't want to go back again after work. so it's all good, paid for, and i'll get the new one in the mail.
there's 2 other new options where they scan in your documents and you can use the license with a chip in it instead of your passport for domestic flights...so, i'll just continue using my passport ;) no biggie. i'm just glad i did get a new photo because my old one didn't look like me anymore with fatter face and long hair lol. now i have a narrower face and short hair.

Later i plan to make parmasean roasted broccoli. I know that parm is light and a nice added flavor so i had bought a container of it a few weeks ago to use in my cooking. i have a nice recipe to cook my broccoli with it tonight! :)
i also cooked a mashed carrot dish that turned out very tasty - it was a lb of carrots and only 1tbsp of butter with salt / pepper and tasted good!
also, laundry and weights. easy day, really.
i might meet up with R as he suggested he check my bicylce since i haven't used it in over a year and he has some grease and tools to make it perfect...also my new shower head is here....he was going to install it. we are already not meeting up at the schedule time....because of the argument last night he didn't come over and i also am just getting up later than expected and taking my time with breakfast, enjoying kombucha and a late morning here in Queens....i got up rather late today which i do admit is a main reason we aren't getting together at 10am as suggeted...yes my fault.
___________________________________________
ricky acted like a baby at the concert...so the night ended with disappointment involving my thoughts about him....but otherwise it was a good night. that's why he's NOT and will NEVER be my boyfriend. he's a friend of the male sex and that's how it will be, with him. i'm not looking for a boyfriend.
acting llike a baby (i cannot believe i'm writing this omg it's like am i really taking the time to describe it again out loud wow..) - getting mad because he had to wait on line for ices at the stadium where we went to the concert...complaining to a random worker that there was only one person selling ices (like that worker - a low level worker - is going to help? and why should he bother someone working there like that?,
he got mad about the water line too even though it was actually short (took me less than 5min on that line), he got annoyed to keep sitting on the bleacher seats (but that was ok - since it's open air and big place he got up and walked around a bit while i stayed watching the concert),
he got annoyed with me after the concert that i wouldn't leave before it was over to skip the crowds (i did leave right away, just not before the end with him!),
he was frustrated when i wanted to buy cheap fruit from the fruit stand before we went to the bus on the way home - the fruit stand is cheap and on the way and i always am looking to buy it when it's convenient (he wanted to go right home and couldnt' understand why i wasn't buying it after work - because duh - it was more convenient last night!? -
on the bus i know he doesn't sit (many people stand - it's ok) so i told him it's ok if he didn't stand by me since honestly i just wanted to relax and talking to him while i sit and he stands wouldn't have been relaxing on the bus...i looked back at him halfway thru the route and he was loudly telling me to check facebook...he had put sad faces on my photos and then wrote a comment "this photo sucks" on a photo of him that i took. i wrote as a comment, on the bus "be nice"...he wrote back "take it down"...like an order - but a public and embarassing order. he could have spoke to me, said he didn't like some photos, i could have taken them down.
but instead of speaking to me, he acted like a 3 year old crying over them in emojis and ordering me like a 3 year old to take it down. embarassing and rude and not any type of adult way of discussing. on the bus, i told myself that when i got off the bus to walk home with him that i'd stay calm and just say i'd rather he speak to me personally than to order me around on facebook in public.
well, i started out calm, but, he decided to maintain his behavior of the night - anger and immaturity. well, he got angry and said i need to consult him about all photos i put of him (which is fine, just a new rule he decided on in his moment of anger off the bus). well, he didn't understand how i felt - that i didn't want to be told what to do in public on facebook when he wrote "this photo sucks...take it down".. i wasn't able to speak to him gently anymore...i did quickly yell and told him "do NOT walk me home...leave me right now!"...
he then got angry....and then turned back and said "what does that mean!?"....and i said "COOL DOWN!" and i walked home the 5 min more on my own.
NO GUY tells me what to do or makes me do anything i don't want to do. no guy will push me down or think they can behave in a way that is rude or demeaning to me in public and think i'll take it.
i'm not mad at him - as he has these ways about him and it comes out especially in public - but, i do not forgive or appreciate or even accept his behavior when it's so out of line.
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
at least i still know my limit, i make sure to stand my guard and take care of myself in these situations. not ready to end the friendship though. i just know what to expect from him.
lol to your pun. that's funny, on a "side note..." haha.:) take care.
8am oatmeal 150 with almond milk 20, stevia, cinnamon, saffron in one bite only lol, yogurt 2% chobani with fruit on bottom 130. 300. ....back to sleep for 1.5 hours :)

_______________________________________________
I'm going to an orchestra concert in combination with a comedian/singer tonight at a very local stadium called the Forest Hills Stadium. Never been - so i'm extra happy to go with my friend Ricky. Tickets were decent, but not great - I think $50 which i'd say is semi-expensive. but, it's something to do and even involves an orchestra, so i'm really glad about that!
The area the concert is in doesn't have parking, so, we're taking the bus. It's the same bus i take for getting to the subway when i go to work. Good route.
So i'll be walking a little bit today, but not like the 5k i signed up for tomororw which is just constant walking of 3mi without stopping. I will not be going to the 5k tomorrow bc my left foot is too sore, weak and strained. i'll rest and not be doing a continuous walk until it feels a bit better....and it will.
and for the rest of the day today until the concert, i'm relaxing...no laundry. just couch and reading, unless i change my mind and cook something :) but i'm jjust resting my feet and legs and relaxing today.
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
A good decision on the 5K. I will comment more about that, on yesterday's entry.
I can’t believe how much my ankle has been acting up :( I guess I gotta lay off
Happy Friday :)
650 cal before lunch, usual stuff...
lunch stewed zucchini 150, noodles 100, small amount meat/shrimp 250, avocado small amount 100. 550-600.
250, all healthy...
snack 4pm: half an old fashioned dunkin donut brought by coworker YUM 150 and a few almonds 50. 200
fruit 150, yogurt and choc chips 200 and later pb on cracker 150
2050 awesome
________________________________________
I'm pretty set to skip the 5k on Sunday morning for more rest and relaxation. No need to abuse left ankle / calf more...we'll see how i feel.
walking / taking train after work to DMV to renew my license / get new since mine expires in September. I'm getting a new photo - with my short pixie hair...since my other one doesn't really look like me and i want a new photo - otherwise i'd have gone and done it online...but i work close to the midtown dmv in Manhattan, just a few stops away on the subway....i leave at 5pm and it's opened until 6pm so i should get there with a half hour to spare.....
I did go to the DMV with all the documents, but they needed originals of my birth certificate and also my passport in order to get the REAL ID license that i wanted. I only had copies. So, i'm thinking to go back after work Monday - but the line is very long for this process there and takes 2 hours. I really wanted to change my photo of my license, so, i guess i'll do that after work Monday along with bringing a good book :)
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
I congratulate you on your decision regarding the 5K. You are attaining the wisdom - that I feel most only attain through age and experience - to know your limits. That is to say, you are becoming wise beyond your years.
I hope to start feeling better but not sure how long it will take - part of the issue is my commute I stand in place many days on the subway a half hour .....I’m hoping my body will continue to get stronger as I make better choices. My ankle will never be great but I really really hope to improve still - we will see :)

i've been wanting more sleep all week....last night i did good with sleep but could have used even more because i woke up feeling groggy like i wasn't done sleeping...looking forward to tomorrow being Friday and sleeping in on Saturday!
Left calf/ankle are a bit better today as i've not been using them more than i have to this week. I've been comtemplating skipping the 5K on Sunday so i can both sleep in after a night out and rest more...we'll see how i feel the night before. I'd rather keep it in the schedule and not be a "quitter," so....if i'm feeling good, i'll walk the 5k (3 miles). it'd be with my friend, Ricky. Plus, this run/walk is close to home and is a later event that starts at 9am compared to the other ones we did at 8am. i am planning not to skip it, we'll see....

exercise - nothing at all for after work, just walking on commute and at lunch - trying to get my left calf / ankle ready for the 5k
i'm looking forward to getting more sleep tonight so i can get thru the rest of the week feeling good!
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
I confess I'm a little concerned about your ankle/ calf. Let's see how the 5k goes.
ankle/calf is such a darn nuisance. They are beginning to feel better compared to earlier this week - trying not to overdo and realizing that even just "doing" can hurt. I'll try to keep this all in mind. maybe skipping the 5k. we'll see..

lunch: really heathy from home stewed zucchini / eggplant / peppers big serving but so light and tasty 200, accidentally forgot the rice part, so it'll be chips again healthier type of chip 120, half a turkey burger 100. 420., hot tea.

For Amazon Prime Day today, I decided to order a few things i've been wanting for a long time. I figured today would be a good day to buy them:
1- hand held shower head with hose $20
2- Water Foot Bath Electrical so water stays nice and warm and i can soak my feet in an Epsom Salt bath for continuued care of my feet / ankle / legs. $20
Really i shouldnt' keep spending money, but, both these things i've been thinking about for a long time and i know they'll get good use.
________________________________________
Weights workout tonight, once again my ankle is weaker and leg because of the unexpected walking last Saturday night which was really supposed to be a rest day - i'll be fine. and last night i cooked, a ton, so was on my feet most of the night - the veggies all turned out wonderfully!
It's TOM and i'm overcoming a UTI and other stuff. so, feeling sorta gross this week and my leg is somewhat tight. LOL. so, i guess i need to not push this week...i really want the 5k on Sunday to go alright (walking it).
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
How did weights go?
After the UTI which i have had mutliple summers now, I have decided it's about time i get a showerhead that is better along with any other issues i get down there grrr.
next, the foot soaker is going to be GREAT especially as weather cools, nice warming foot soak with epsom salts!
weights are actually going well and i'm very strong right now with upper body bc i've been very consistent lately!
Pure unsweetened cranberry juice (not Ocean Spray) and yogurt with live cultures is supposed to help. Maybe add these to your diet for a while?
TOM i think has helped with the UTI. I think i'm basically over it. I'm also taking the cranberry pills (vitamin section). and yes to more yogurt :)
thank you for all advice!
