OK....time to make the custard!!!!!!!!!!!! :)....they are in fridge waiting to bring to work !!! it was a simple recipe. i'm glad i regained energy after dinner.
___________________________________________
no plans to exercise,
maybe i'll bake another keto recipe...yup!...it's been my goal to start baking Keto and to use these baked items as breakfasts since they are not high in sugar but taste sweet they would mostly go perfect with a cup of coffee. tonight, i'm baking Pumpkin Pie Custard...
probably sleeping instead of baking....i'll get back to baking on a different day ;) i told my coworkers i'd be baking, but, i don't think so, or maybe i'll wake up early...
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!

the duck eggs are slightly bigger, the egg shell slightly thinner, the white cooks up slightly harder, the yolk slightly smoother which was nice change of pace!
Hi All! So glad to be back on DD to comment...the few days it was down i was using my email / phone to keep tally of my eats. I missed DD so much! The past couple days were busy as usually i am not online sometimes to comment, but today i want to spend time reading up on where you've all been at!
2250 3-day average, but believe it or not despite being a bit over in calories, i had a lot of good nutrition these 3 days !

______________________________________________________________________
There's a few things i have planned, but mostly very content with being HOME most of today.
Still work is being done to pave the blacktop concrete in my garage area, so i parked a few blocks away last night in front of school that is also closed today. I have to move my car today bc the spot is not good during school days! i'll try to move it this morning when there might be a closer spot open...it's been a month of no garage but for most of it, i was totally using my friend's garage but i gave it back bc it's not nice to hog it when i hardly even am driving besides on the weekends now! :) DONE!
decided on severall quick errands bc i had my car ...now i got a street spot and will not move it until next weekend! Paying my parking ticket for last week on Friday when i forgot i had to move my car.. DONE!
Laundry including bath mats :) DONE!
also must clean this smelly hamster cage :)...don't worry, it's not that bad! DONE!
_____________________________________________
Part of my plans today include cooking and baking! DONE!
- I'd like to cook up some cauliflower fried rice :) Done!
- and i bought the ingredients to make brownies :) but low sugar type made with erythritol instead of sugar! woohoo i have been wanting to make them forever! Done!
- also cooking some chicken bratworst sausages yeah! Turkey burgers will still be fresh to make next weekend, so waiting on those :) Done !
________________________________________________
My evening plan is to do a home workout, lighter though, as i have a lot going on, may as well cut down the cardio since i've done a lot of it the past few days....and to the other things i have been wanting to accomplish :) I'll not go too hard on legs, but want to work out my abs and arms and back :) Gearing up to do this, 8pm, it's GOOD to have this home gym, no need to leave my apt...wonderful! DONE!
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
I wish I had today off, but then I could not have gotten paid. Not much happened, so I would have preferred to spend the time at home. Oh well, having money is nice too, I guess...
i guess the world of real estate is kinda like NYC, it never sleeps!
at least you were paid...i understand :(

Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
On weekends, it's always diet bread with peanut butter or Nutella :)
yeah, i'm totally bored of my work breakfasts so for awhile now i think for the next week or two i'm going to go higher on the carbs / less nutrition and more for taste until i feel the need to have higher protein in the morning again which is not yet!
i do have to alternate meals and do get sick of consistency at times! I crave routine but at the same time i can get bored and need to spice things up here and there with variety.
Since the weather turned a month ago, haven't been out on my dirtbike for any exercise lately. It's pretty much put away until the spring, so I know I should figure out something else to keep moving / active. Or just move somewhere warmer so that I can ride year round (unfortunately not an option).
Good job maintaining like always.
yes, def go looking into a diff outdoor activity to continue thru all of fall! do you like to hike?
I worked OT because i had to. I had a lot of work to finish today and there was a deadline....it was stressful because i had my mind set on leaving on time...this is the thing i do not love about this type of job (deadlines, things come up, tasks are not just set and always leaving on time.). But nothing i can do.
it was just very very stressful evening...and skipping exercise yesterday i thought i'd be able to def leave on time today bc i worked late yesterday, but, alas...so i still worked out and ended around 9pm...i worked out around 7:30-9 in my apartment. glad i do NOT have to go out anymore. it had become wayyyyyy too stressful and working out at home has been a blessing.

greens bar is high calorie and sugary, but tastes good and has the benefits of some health. here is the link to it so you can read up:
https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Greens-Protein-Natural-Factors/dp/B00OACO4OC/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1538528222&sr=8-1&keywords=pure+food+organic+vegan+greens+protein+bar
def not a diet / weight loss bar....it's almost 300 cal and very high in sugar but also i love the taste as it really is pretty healthy on the nutrition side and has fiber and protein...goes good right at work in AM with my coffee.
(Sat/Sun total was 2050 per day - excellent)
Breakfast: oatmeal 150 made with a mix of almond milk / bulletproof coffee leftovers 50, with 2 scoops of tasty chocolate protein nut butter 250 and kombucha 50. 500. good. healthy mix.
snack: coffee with collagen (samples i still have a little more in the fridge!) 150
Healthy lunch: tofu 100 with lots of leftover (like almost 2 cups?) sauteed peas/carrots/corn/beans 300 ..feels so good to eat some healthy food. 400 or so.
3:30pm snack so far: tea and super fresh strawberries 100 (a lot!)
4:30pm My stomach has been a bit rough today and i have been feeling nauseous. had cheesesticks 400 by Celeste which were good. i'm actually feeling a bit under par on this sick day.
7pm fruit 100-150
1700 :-)
Banana and granola bar 250
Grand total 1950...
3day 2025
I am glad to be home bc my stomach has been clearing itself out....it's been out of sorts since Saturday...i think due to stress of the trip yesterday which went fine overall...i'm just not a big trip / group person...but it was GOOD to go because i DO have goals to change myself and keep growing as a working / contributor / human being.
______________________________________________________
Bus trip was not so good on the way back home last evening.
Firstly, on the way up, Gospel music was what was on the radio and we all had a small speaker above our seats as we were riding a coach bus from NYC area to Philadelphia. Luckily, the bus trip going there was only 2 hours because we did it from 6:30am-8:30am and there was no traffic.
Coming home there was traffic as we left around 5:30pm. It took around 3 hours, getting home around 8:30pm. This time, the bus driver had a Black Talk Radio station playing the entire time. In general, i don't listen to ANY talk radio or news for 3 hours at a time, especially if it's debate of the SAME issue for 3 hours. I didn't appreciate the constant words being spoken back and forth on this station or the debates over: BLACK vs WHITE, Men VS Women, TRUMP, and the Kavanaugh Supreme Court hearing. These were the ONLY topics being discussed, for 3 straight hours through traffic.
I didn't have my headphones so it bothered me to listen to talk radio for 3 hours. It bothered me because it was very opinionated and strong topics, not topics that are more general or MUSIC would have been good. I would have also complained if it were only Gospel but why couldn't the bus driver choose something more in the middle to serve the entire bus of people riding? I don't know. Maybe i'm wrong.
I like all people and races and cultures. I just didn't enjoy hearing DEBATE for 3 hours. I could have used a little MUSIC. It's my fault for not bringing headphones, hadn't thought of it, but it was just the weirdest taste of radio for the entire 5 hours spent on the bus round trip. I took it as a disregard for the passengers on the bus, that's all. And the bus driver feeling his taste was suitable for everyone. It was one sided radio and ideas. I didn't feel it appropriate for the bus trip.
______________________________________________________
I was going to exercise but i'm very sore (my left ankle and leg do not heal well after use and they are not getting worse but as i increase cardio i have to be careful to not overdo if i am sore) due to walking around the trade show carrying some heavy bags for many (5) hours...
i plan to take today off exercise completely and do it tomorrow instead - maybe cook today, do other things that are NOT exercise related.
1. I have the day off to do LOTS of laundry and get it done before starting anything else - it's a lot of laundry with a few extras thrown in as i'm catching up on things around the apartment..now there's a flooded laundry room so i don't know why but i luckily they are cleaning and i will wait till the cleaning is done to put clothes in dryer....not sure about reason for flood..glad there's no rush today things are going strangely
_________________________________________________________
i went to get my car from down the block to move closer to my apt now that it's late morning and spots are available :) i don't have a garage yet and now my friend is back to using his since i don't drive to gym anymore after work and i'm only using my car one weekends or when i'm off :) they are doing work on garages, so it's best i don't use my car unless i need to and only on days i have off or when spots are free. it's working out well since i use public transportation for work!
i went to give R some gifts from the trade show and he said i could not come by to give them...that upset me bc i wasn't coming by to hang out, just drop of the stuff that i brought along as i walked to pick up my car which was near his apt. he was in a bad mood and said i couldn't even put the stuff on the outside of his apt door to take in...so i had to keep the stuff with me...i really don't understand why i couldn't just drop the crap off at his place!? ... so this day is running awkwardly.
also with Ricky, he has a bad cough and needs to go to dr to get medicine except he'd rather "get better without medicine..." ...so the cough doesn't get better and is very prolonged now for at least a couple weeks. he's very difficult, has COPD due to decades of smoking, and is making the personal choice to suffer due to his own mentality that he can "get rid of the cough on his own" and "doesn't want to be on heavy medicine"----so suffer, Ricky, go ahead and suffer because you do not want to treat the cough or lessen it. Go ahead. he doesn't want to be told anymore what to do. and this is why he's a friend, not a boyfriend/fiance or romantic partner. I need someone who is more logical about helping themself get better when it's the best option...and someone not as difficult and ready to fight / emotionally pulling as him...
i honestly feel in my mind that R is not going to live for more than 10 years from now the way his health is headed and how he doesn't take care of himself. I do think he will not make it to 70years old. He is 59 now and not in good health lung-wise.
one day i do hope to meet someone i can be compatible with. who is healthy and never a smoker, someone who in turn wants me as a partner...that time is not in the near future.
my dad spoke to me of course this morning too about the radio / gospel on the bus ride telling me i should have kept my mouth shut and not complained that i had a headache from it...he's right, i should have head headphones, but i wanted to let off steam and did complain to him about it...but my dad is the "key" person when it comes to being politically correct so he'll look at it from every angle saying that i could be thought of as the racist since i was the one complaining about the radio and black stations / gospel...
____________________________________________________
2. I need to pick up cheap rum as a favor for office, and yes, it's cheap because we will throw out this first batch of cocktail we are making with it...bc the cocktail is too strong to drink - we are going to make a drink called Mamajuana...it's a holiday / seasonal / cultural drink made with tree bark and herbs...and you do NOT drink the first batch you make bc it is too strong hence using cheapest rum available. - DONE and had fun doing this errand!
3. I have another errand to drive into a busy town without great parking so pick up a dress i got hemmed for a wedding i'm attending on Friday the 12th of October.. If i try on the dress and it fits well enough, i am considering returning the Spanx i got to wear underneath is, as the item was $65 and i didn't budget it Spanx were bought conveniently across the street from the dress shop. DONE :) - kept the Spanx!
4. I'll go to supermarket for fruit and veggies and kombucha. DONE!
5. i think i'll def have time - i want to cook up some chicken sausage and eggs for the rest of this week :) maybe cook some other items too - def no gym today - not hanging out with R because he is complately out of sorts himself and i'm a bit fed up with his attitude.
4. I will be returning by US Post Office a vest i ordered from Old Navy that now that i see it in person it's not warm. The other sweaters and other vest i ordered are great so i'll keep those...it's free return, just need to stop by library to print out return receipts as i don't use my printer at home at all...
I want to watch a movie later with Ricky and go to bed early...i plan to go to work one hour early tomorrow bc i have to leave early that Friday of the wedding...i plan to make up the time, around 2 hours, by working extra this week leading into the wedding week.
i was very thankful for the opportunity...but couldn't agree with everything that was indirectly directed at me! ah well!
I'm kind of surprised that the bus was playing anything at all. Get enough people on a bus and pretty much any type of music or talk radio is going to irritate someone. I'd rather just have silence. That lets everyone choose what they want to do (sleep, listen to headphones, talk, stare mindlessly into the headrest in front of them because they forgot their headphones, etc).
But it was only for a few hours out of your life. If that's the worst that happens to you this week, you lead a pretty blessed life. (Something I have to remind myself of often when little things irritate me.)
I hope you feel better. Sounds like it was a rather rough day, even though it was a day off!
Early bed is one of my goals tonight too.

I responded to your comment to me... I keep forgetting that I have wraps here...….they are good on cals for sure and so versitile
yeah, these low cal wraps help a lot in keeping meals / calories in check...there are so many brands and options out there.
