i think my body was still recovering today from yesterday's sick spell at the gym!
so when i drove to the gym, i didn't even get out of my car and decided to come home. (the gym is really close to school, so it wasn't really out of my way!)
anyways, BEFORE driving home i bought mcdonalds. and ate 4 chicken nuggets while driving. got home, at a fries and then, not what i ordered, a bacon/fried chicken sandwich. i ordered a grilled chicken sandwich. it was very good, the fried chicken and bacon. and i got full way before finishing - but you guessed it right - i finished everything. which is still FINE...
but then, i binged on EVERYTHING. starting with ice cream, moving on to cookies, chocolate, white chocolate, peanut butter, and a whole bag of popcorn, TONS of dried fruit, and salted cashews, etc.
not proud.
the weekend was probably too much for me, especially what happened last night at the gym, like i said.
i was at a new area today, the mammography suite. perhaps the change in schedule got to me? i was also on my feet a great deal today. a good thing, but my body was very tired from yesterday.
tomorrow i will probably NOT go to the gym and wednesday it would be a short trip there - i should go!
and you know, i'll make it there tomorrow, too. I'll do weights...even though it will be late bc i have to stay at school till 5. i can't skip out on weights again...bc the next time i go will be friday.
so, to recap, today was an absolute binge....kinda expected after the way things have been going - too busy. and this morning i got full but kept eating...i haven't been listening to my body at all.
tuesday: only weights at the gym. just a cardio warmup.
wednesday: 30 min cardio at the gym only.
thurs: depending if i have tests friday, cardio or cardio and weights.
fri: cardio or cardio and weights.
we shall see...
goodnight. i hope you all had better mondays than me.
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 5 lbs to go!
wow. busy and fun weekend.
today i had too much caffeine before and during working out. i almost fainted at the gym. i was so sick i couldn't drive home and went straight to the nearest fast food (dunkin donuts) to eat and drink something right away.
i will be staying away from caffeine before the gym for at least a week. and i will probably not have ANY MORE energy drinks. i was so sick. lightheaded, it was NOT good.
I sat on the floor in the locker room, unable to even sit up at all. I was praying someone would come in bc i wanted to ask them to go to the front to get me a soda (without caffeine) to balance my energy levels - i was probably REALLY LOW on sugar.
ok. besides that, i taught many lessons today. and i did a great job. it was a successful, productive day. and i enjoyed teaching! :-)
i am proud to have my music education degrees (bachelors and masters) and I am VERY proud to be able to use them to teach kids private lessons. I think i taught around 7 or so lessons today....i have to look at my notes to check. I had a new student today.
even though i'm changing my carreer, it doesn't mean i have to quit music altogether. and i am so glad i am finally able to teach again, on the side, part time on the weekend.
goodnight all. it's a busy time of year.
sorry for lack of comments.
love to all...:-)
rachel, if you're reading, it's bc of you that i wrote "love to all." thanks for showing me that even internet friends care about one another.

I'm glad you are still able to teach music and keep your foot in that 'industry' so to speak. What do you teach?
GREAT workout at the gym. 45 min cardio and about a 1/2 hour of weights and stretching. will do some more abs/back tomorrow as well as cardio. oh, and some walking later on at the mall.
overall cals around 2050 today.
breakfast: 380 of cereal, milk, coffee.
snack before gym: cup of microwaved w. equal on them cranberries.
snack /after gym: banana?
lunch: more on the carbs end...flatbread sandwich, tofu, yogurt. lots of cookies but i guess i was STARVING. 2 more bananas. lots of calories here. ended lunch around 3pm.
no eating past 3 pm. had some diet sprite during the movie.
now it's almost 1am.
today was great, i was VERY busy. tomorrow would likewise be an optimal "binge" for me. but, that isn't what i want! lately, calories have been around 2200-2300 for me. perhaps i'm more physically active than i think and my body really does use at least that amount. i am not trying to restrict to the 1500s or anything like that. i'm trying to do what's right for my body. TRYING.
now i'm just tired. and pissed that he and i haven't been able to talk on the phone due to opposite schedules. beginning to feel like he doesn't care, although he would never say that.
snack: ? protein bar?
snack: coffee?
movie tonight. seeing precious....so many of my friends WON'T see it.... but i'm looking foward to it. IT WAS SO SAD!

i thought i wrote a friday entry!!!
anyways, i wanted to go to the gym. and i did, but it was only open for 5 more mintues!!! so of course i didn't stay, lol. i thought it was open till midnight on friday night...but unfortunately not, only 10pm.
i believe it was around 2050 cal yesterday.
no gym :-(

TSF: 2050....and just enough for a snack if needed after the gym.....i'll probably be working out till 10:30 at night if i can get my ass there already....it's already 8:30...so i can't see actually getting there till 9 or later...
gym will be my favorite: weights, some cardio, back...some abs not much, and pushups.

I did have a good Monday, but as you know, I've had some really really bad days recently. I can't imagine the stress you are under.
