bike riding tonight.
fitness update: i gotta say, skipping any real cardio training this month has left me feeling like something is missing. i feel most definitely like something in my life is missing. and i am def ready to train more next month. over the past couple months, i feel myself drifting a bit. i need to sit down and do some of my own planning and get back to some cardio training by asking R for his help, yes, i need his help because he helped me design something to help practice the cardio agility and with his help i will have better direction to set it up quickly and efficiently....i will be starting the plan for this and doing it after my bday....around september 14th weekend.
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
I feel it'll go away by the weekend / on the weekend when my schedule is more open without such an early morning.
and once the week starts up, i usually have a problem getting regular again until the weekend once i have this issue going on. so, i guess i'll have to bear with it. also, i think i need to wake up earlier out of bed again...my rushing in the morning is adding to this issue. like you say in your entries, i need more structure.
Kombucha 50
english muffin 150, avo 80, egg 70, coffee 50. 350.
snack: almonds or peanuts 100
lunch: out to lunch for someone's bday....mexican food taco with vegan chorizo 300, corn with seasonings200, cauliflower with seasonings 150. 650. black coffee also with stevia.
almonds 100
dinner - pizza few bites 150, egg with seasonings 100, too many chips 350-400...650
Fruit

______________________________________________
tonight i will bike (if it doesn't rain which it prob is) a little, no weights, bed on the early side again.
i also am leaving work 15min early to get to a dr. appt that i had to keep rescheduling (dr actually originally forgot to cancel it with me so dr actually didn't show up the first time....then i couldn't make it the following weekend due to going out to the water park all day...so now i'm going today and the only option is to leave work a little early, but i already made up the 15min time this past Monday actually in advance!)
lately most things are routine. my energy is down a bit, so i'm going to take a rest tonight unless the weather is nice...or if my mood changes, i might do weights. prob not though. extra rest is always taken on my end when i feel it i know to listen to my body...so yeah...it seems getting extra rest is my best choice tonight.
____________________________________________________
Horrible bloating this week mostly my fault as i keep drinking kombucha in mornings when it's apparent i shouldn't have this week bc i wake up bloated....but i like it and it's relaxing to me to drink it...so i guess i have to deal with it. it's because i started the week on Sunday too late in the day eating a large volume of spinach and it's just been too much to digest - for lunch today i need some carbs to solidy everything....and maybe a banana later.
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
ty for the advice!
past two weeks i have "purposely" skipped a weights session each week. (meaning, it is fully because i chose to do this and not due to any serious conflicts). i have done weights only 2x per week instead of 3x for these two weeks, as a way to not break myself down as i am known to do at the end of the summer. it's also been a way for me to get a little more rest and also some other exercise in. tonight, my choice is biking and since i get out of work very early Friday, i'm pushing my second workout to Friday instead of tonight so that tonight i can get good sleep and end the week in a more energetic way and start the weekend fresh and not tired.
but last night, after a crappy appt with a psych dr (he's a meds pusher and i have to ignore his critiques/views because they are just to help him make $ - i got to him for his location and he carries my insurance but that's all), i got home on the late side, had dinner with R, and just relaxed until bed. it did rain.
kombucha 60
breakfast - had to stop with the muffins(they aren't filling and lead me to be too hungry at work and they weren't even that tasty). - english muffin 150 with 1/4 avo 80, egg 70. 300 and coffee 50. 350.
snack: black pepper peanuts 200
lunch: from home - 2 meatballs with sauce 250 over greens - some of the greens were heavily in butter but most not 200 (and i think that's it for today - low carb meal i think will be just fine!), and chips 200. 650...still liking my chips lol. would have been a good day for rice....but still liking my chips. / crackers. i do better with carbs, not sure why i even debated not having them.
snack: plum 60, almonds 100
dinner -i have a union meeting at 6pm-7pm and sometimes they give out hot dogs that are grilled...if so, i'll probably enjoy one before walking home (i live only 10min walk from union hall) to bed early. there were no hotdogs...so i had half a garlic bagel 200 with a good amount of whipped cream cheese 200 and a cinnamon muffin for dessert too lol. 300? total around 700. i actually took this home from the meeting and thoroughly enjoyed it all.and almond milk with a drip of coffee and stevia. 30.
2150...a tasty day, i'll tell you that much!
4 day total: 2200 (high cal week so far...)
exercise: just normal commute and walking at lunch
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
Breakfast The choc chip muffins i made are very nice. not sweet at all, but wholesome tasting and thank gosh for chocolate chips because otherwise they wouldn't have been that good. so i'll eat these for breakfast all week :) 250 and coffee 50. 300.
snack: almonds then peanuts (muffin didn't keep me satisfied for long!) 200
lunch: leftovers - very tasty - from last night's dinner - seared tuna with lots of toasted sesame seeds 200-250 dipped into a sweet sauce, sauteed spinach in a lot of oil 200 (really tasty), some lettuce/tomato, half a roll 250 with butter...700 tops.
snack: plums 100 /almonds 100
before workout another muffin, iced coffee 300 and nut butter 200/ during workout: weights tonight (skipped on purpose yesterday to free up time and relax, no regrets)
after workout: tbd also - maybe i'll have lox and avocado on an english muffin (taking some weeks away from wraps now)nut butter
2250, good.
3day 2216 per day
____________________________________
weights tonight...good day so far. prepared. everything is going ok. should be a good week and a FAST week...i have something scheduled everyday after work...tomorrow a union meeting, Wednesday a quick dr appt and i have to leave work early....so i will stay a little late tonight.
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
but it's nice to eat something like a pastry for breakfast again...i agree with you! :) i still need to work on "the perfect sweet" breakfast for work....my brownies that i made last year that were flavored with coconut oil were much better...and so was my pumpkin pie cheesecake.
Hi All! I slept well after yesterday's full day at Splish Splash.
Breakfast: 1/2 cup dry of the strawberries and cream keto cereal cooked with 1/2 cup almond milk 260. very filling this time for a 1/2 cup serving! with a key lime 2% chobani yogurt 140. 400 filling breakfast this time! i really like this keto brand, there's at least 4 flavors of options and it's a new product. I may go back to the store I got it, or, buy it on Amazon.
snack kombucha 60, tastes of muffin mix 40
lunch: leftover Asian style green beans 200, meatball heavy with extra sauce 250 in a wrap 150. 600 very tasty.
snacks: fruit 100
Dinner salad 50, a lot of bread 300 with butter 50, sautéed spinach 150, and tuna 200 750
1950...
2050 total
—————————————
I made 5 choc chip almond flour cupcakes for breakfast this week. The recipe is small which is nice and then I can just eat them up myself since it’s a small amount and I am not sure Ricky will like them.
___________________________________________________
I Got home actually on the early side last night around 9pm (bc we didn't stop for any dinner) and had a snackat home before bed just so i could sleep since i do not like going to bed hungry, relaxed a bit, slept well last night. Glad to have today off work also and will be productive with laundry, reading, and some bike riding...and even going over to Ricky's apt for a movie later. I'm skipping my weights workout purposely and doing it tomorrow so that today can be freed up and more relaxed to do other things (watch a movie, bike ride).
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
Good Morning!
Breakfast: this new keto oatmeal, amazingly good bc it's made from all these ground nuts and seeds, very tasty...THE BRAND IS HIGH KEY tand he flavor i bought was strawberries and cream..only issue is i wanted a bigger serving than recommended serving size, next time i'll take a little more. with allmond milk. 180 mixed with a pumpkin flavor chobani yogurt 120 (very good). iced coffee. 50. 350.
Snack: wrap 120, egg 80, avo and spices 100. 300.

snack: ? plum and later a lollipop bc i was getting carsick on the part of the drive home where i wasn't driving lol. 120-150
dinner: lots of choices which do include veggies of restaurants near the water park, stopping before we drive home (2 hour drive so you want your body to be fueled!) we decided not to stop for dinner, drive straight home....at home a made a protein muffin and added extra chocolate chips (great choice!) 350.
2350, success.
____________________________________________________
I set my clock to wake up and think i may have woken up right before it went off...for around 7am. not that early, not that late :) Today, i'm off to a water park out on Long Island. my friend from Westchester is driving to me, then we are driving out to pick up a few other people and we are off! The water park is 2 hours from me and an added 45 min from my friend! She's a good sport to come out for the day! I will prob be back home around 10pm.
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
And thank you for mentioning the brand name of the keto oatmeal - it's like you are reading my mind, or something ;-)
edit: it was a simple day, i was able to sleep in. after lunch, i was sleepy after reading and totally fell asleep for another half hour in the afternoon. all good. it was a nice day off and not rushed.

after exercise later this evening: plum 50
not sure, but quite possibly a protein muffin in microwave since i bought two at the supermarket today.we'll see....they also have quite a bit of sugar in them - not a great brand but i like how easy they are to make just at 1/4 cup water and mix. 270cal
2120 :)

I was supposed to go to Splish Splash water park today but the weather is forecasted for possible rain. so, we changed the day to Saturday. but, i am still taking a sick day as planned bc i had it in my head all week i was taking one and really don't want to go in after knowing i was going to sleep in tomorrow and planning on exercising till late tonight, which i did.
so at home today, i of course have things i can do. i'm glad i got the workout out the of the way though last night and it feels so good to have slept in today.
i want to cook, put $ on my laundry card, possible dr appt since now i have to cancel it for Saturday bc of change of plans, possibly cooking muffins...completely realizing i could go to work...but taking a slow day.
i could also pick up groceries at the supermarket, as well as detergent/fabric softener as well as yogurts and seltzer.
later i'll bike with ricky. sounds like enough to me, plus reading.
cooking greens and an asian string bean recipe.
i want to make a cupcake recipe soon - i think on Sunday - i'll be skipping my weights workout this Sunday to free up some time...
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
i love my wraps bc they are quite healthy and portable.

someone at work was shocked i'd still take the day off and even though i love the lady, she said the thing i dislike said to me which is "you have no kids, you aren't married, you have no responsibilities....i don't get why you have to take days off like this!"....LOL. it is also relaxing me before 2 hours each way of driving Saturday to a water park and busy day on Saturday. for this reason is the biggest reason i'm still taking Friday off. it's a way to lower stress before a longer day. i know it's a good choice and good way to end the summer. In total, i took no days in July and 3 in August, so i'm not guilty of taking days off all summer. i'm not mad, at all, of the woman who said it because she didn't mean it to upset me, but she just really thinks that way just like many people do. but really to me, more when men say it, i find it rude and not understanding that we all do not have to feel / act the same as other people all the time. It's my choice to not have kids and kids shouldn't be the only excuse why someone needs to go home on time / not work OT...etc. I used to work a ton of hours, and people would feel i could stay later than everyone bc i didn't have kids...it would truly upset me to hear men talk like that around me....anyways, i'm just glad i will stay home tomrrow, after thinking that was the story all week i wasn't about to change things.

__________________________________
Tonight is strength workout....i will refrain from writing more until what i have to say is finalized.
also, i have decided to stick with my typical hours as i do like waking up at a normal hour and do not need any stressors that aren't necessary. i am better right now and feel better right now with the hours i have. so keeping my schedule and not going earlier anytime soon. maybe i'll change hours at another point, but not now.
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
like you said, i can always do more in the morning before work - i can even do a little walk, etc.
i do not like a breakfast that has too much liquid/fiber (like oatmeal) at work, bc i'll have bathroom issues. i prefer something not too big to eat with coffee that has both protein and fat and some carbs :)
excellent question.
i wouldn't be buying wraps as they'd be huge, and easily double the calories if i bought the sandwiches made in the city.
I fail to understand why having kids is a requirement to taking time off.... just shakin' my head. I'm sure that your co-worker's comment had more to do with HER situation rather than YOU taking time off. I'm pretty sure of this.
kombucha 60
breakfast healthy wrap and coffee 350

exercise: maybe walking of 1 mile, but nothing overdone today is a rest day / early to bed. just commute walking, walking at lunch as usual and a mile after work.
_____________________________________________________________________
tonight i will prob stop at 2 places on the way home - fruit stand for plums and any other fruit that looks good as well as buying some amino protein powder of a new flavor since mine are almost used up.
___________________________________________________________________________
I am contemplating changing my working hours from a start at 8:30am to a start at 7:30am! The reason is because with school starting, my commute is going to start getting longer with more traffic on the road. I KNOW i can shorten my commute if i start an hour earlier though i KNOW it will be hard for getting up so much earlier (though i realize i can get used to this again).
I also figure that when Winter comes, it will be nice to leave work at 4pm and not 5pm and i can get started a bit earlier on my workout when i get home, too, as well as (hopefully) going to bed earlier.
For some reason, i feel traffic will be better at laest in the morning and i'll just have to get used to leaving earlier. It means i'll be leaving home somtime between 6:30-6:40 or possibly even 6:45am to get to work by 7:30am. we'll see how that works. Currently, i have to leave a bit over an hour to get to work, but if i start earlier, it will prob just take 45min to get to work....might be worth it. i already discussed it iwth my boss who is fine with it. so i'll start this in September.
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
perhaps it's better i get my sleep and wake up in normal hours and not on the early schedule...i'll give it more thought during the next couple weeks before school starts here which is the beginning of september.
Could you try to start your own day at home earlier? Just to see how that works for you, but leave the apartment at your regular time? That way, you could see how it would feel to get started earlier.
Just an idea, but I think it's fine to stay with a schedule that works for you.

Maria7 on 08/30/2019:
Your picking up plums reminded me of today when I was in the grocery store looking at a container of scupponong grapes and trying to decide whether to buy them or not. It is the once a year season that we have them in and they have always been my happy yearly favorite... However this year, I seem to have lost my desire to eat them...bought some recently and did not especially enjoy them as I usually do, so I put the container back. I guess our tastes sometimes change for different things.
yes, and sometimes we have to change even our own habits when what we like isn't available or a good choice :) and it's good we try something new anyways :)
i don't think i've ever tasted those grapes - they look so delicious.
