I slept in till 9am ! because we went to bed late around / after midnight. yeseterday was a nice day :) ...it's a rainy day. not sure of plans. will relax now at home.
schedule to go to a dance concert with ricky but it's outdoors in courtyard. if the rain is minimal i'm going to try to go wtih him and bring umbrella. but we first have to see if it's still even on! - it was cancelled but we walked around and went shopping/browsing & got a few groceries
Progress as of today: -1 lbs lost so far, only 5 lbs to go!
there are some reasons: #1 - it was overpriced around $3 - i do think this had a lot to do with it... #2 - i was ravenous bc it was around 3 i think and my calories were so good...i was eating it more like an appetite suppressant which worked out for the day, luckily #3 along with #2, it was really a calorie-counting thing and trying to work things out.
Early morning: peanut butter cup 80
Breakfast: cereal Grain Berry 150, almond milk 30, blueberries 120. 300.
Supposed to have lunch with Christine, but just ate now right before 11:30 - wrap 100, turkey breast spicy meat 50, 1/4 lg avocado 100 and veggies 50. 300., bai raspberry tea

Happy Friday slow morning at home :)
Eating Breakfast, Doing Laundry...
getting set to enjoy the weekend!
I went & put money on my laundry card later & pick up my dress that i got fixed at cleaners for wedding in a couple weeks today.
Went to the supermarket to get food for the week ahead!
Happy to have taken today off.
Seeing a movie & getting lunch with my friend C later.
And in the early evening after 4pm, out to go fishing and see a free concert with R. HAPPY TO NOT BE AT WORK, at my desk, or taking public transportation now!
R was just laid off...they are laying people off. I hope he gets a positition at another company in a week or so...he went to union to fill out the appropriate paperwork. he didn't do anything wrong, the company is just elminiating some workers bc there's less work.
Progress as of today: -1 lbs lost so far, only 5 lbs to go!
Enjoy your day!
it worked out really well with today off :) i was productively busy in the morning and was able to sleep in a couple hours till 8 :) instead of having to be at work at 8!
I hope R will be ok!
R is feeling pretty good...seems he wants some time off on unemployment before starting a new job. he's 58 & seems to want some time to relax right now. he's told me he'll wait a couple months at least before going back to work...
Breakfast at work: coffee 50 with milk / stevia, coconut chocolate covered bar 170. 220.
Snack: egg / avocado wrap 250. and these awesome scrambled egg whites from a quick walk with coworker in AM..! yes, really. 100. hopefully not more, it was a big serving of egg whites.
Lunch: another avocado wrap 200, tomato 50 with salt / pepper, leftover beans 100, maybe plums for a snack 50. 400.. roasted veggies? 100, coffee 50
Before gym: caffeine and carbs for sure, banana 350, whipped cream 100/jello
during / after gym: small banana 100, zone bar 200, 2 atkins peanut butter cups 150. 450. good.
Today: 2050, excellent to say the least.
6day: 2185, excellent.
took a very long way home, so had some extra snacks as it's late now before gym...relaxing for a few minutes, then out to do my routine. I skipped a day or two this week, which is fine! My plan is to go tonight and then sunday morning i'm thinking - instead of Saturday night as it's pretty late now and i'm better off doing the next workout Sunday, not Saturday afternoon :)
I decided to take a vacation day tomorrow at the last minute. Will be seeing a movie with a friend and having lunch with her. then going out to the Beach with R. Saturday i'll hang with R also, to see at least 1 concert (free). and Sunday i'm also hanging with him, another free concert. ...Laundry somewhere inbetween - probably Saturday morning or afternoon.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
I was debating a sick day, but i'm glad i didn't take one and that i made it into work, late by 10min...I'm leaving early today at 4:10...and getting my butt to the gym. I've been working late and not focussing on my own goals for after work fitness stuff...Now that it's August I'm keeping my commitment to do better. And NOT to take any sick days! I'm trying to conserve all vaca time for during the Winter, to make that season when i don't want to exercise and it REALLY is tough to do stuff after work - it'll be easier. I'll be able to use vaca / sick days then...NOT now.
Also I have Jewish holidays in September, which i'll take off WITHOUT pay. So these are days off I'll have to exercise and celebrate the holidays at my own pace...probably watch a service at home with my parents (we aren't members of a synogogue to go only 2x a year is not worth it) . so, I have days off, plenty, come fall / Winter so i'm really looking to BLOW thru summer without taking days when it's easier to push myself, the weather is good to get out to gym later and get biking and jogging in after work..
Like Donkey says, I have to remember my limits...and rest still when i have to, not push too hard right now. I feel better now that i'm here at work. Now that i'm at work and realizing i can take my schedule at my own pace more, I feel better again. I am in charge of my after work schedule to a degree, and I will remember that!
Progress as of today: -2 lbs lost so far, only 6 lbs to go!

I want to reply to a post you responded to yesterday about adderal and it's generics......You are absolutely right to stay away from it...it is an amphetamine and highly addictive not to mention that it has awful side effects. You also mentioned that you think the drs get paid to prescribe it....RIGHT ON!! My years spent as a medical secretary put me in contact with hundreds of drug reps and their goals are one thing and one thing only....talk the drs into prescribing their med. I dealt with drug reps asking if the drs skied, liked baseball, and wanted to know where they liked to vacation.......ski trips for entire extended families were totally paid for....boxed seats at sporting events....a drs infant was supplied with Enfamil formula for her entire first year....plus...they brought in meals for the entire staff totaling $400 a meal...( I signed for them) at least twice a week....now that adderal is old enough and has generics.....it will get the drs less kick backs.....but the habit is still in place.......drs have 2 ways to treat patients.....cut on them...or drug them......and believe me...a patient that walks out of the drs office is one UNHAPPY patient...if they don't get a prescription...and they rarely come back....so drs are programmed to prescribe...it makes the patient happy.....and the drug companies happy...and the dr can rely on that patient returning to get their refills. As long as I worked for that large medical group...all of my medical visits there were free..plus I was given free presc samples from the DRUG ROOM.....when I retired....I slowly weaned myself off of all drugs ( steroid asthma inhalers, thyroid pills, blood pressure pills, and cholesterol pills)....it took me 9 months to do that...and now it has been 16 years with no prescribed meds....and I haven't even had 1 drs visit since then......I take Tylenol for pain and even anxiety as needed..it also works to make me sleepy....and occasionally use a over the counter antacid type of thing...If needed.....if something crops up...I use over the counter things......and I'm no worse than before...........I take vitamins when I think of them...( and I need to start eating better again)....but I have found that coffee works just as well as an asthma inhaler.....and self talk....can calm me when I get anxious....and Tylenol as a back up is just right for me.......So often people are enamored with drs.....well I saw them in their daily lives....and believe me...they are just like everyone else...I saw one come in with big green rubber boots...because they were handy, one lost his comb so he stopped bothering to comb his hair, one liked to ogle any female that was up on a ladder getting files.....one ate oysters straight from the can daily...and he smelled like it all of the time...one never would get his lab coats washed ( or use deodorant)...so someone had to grab them out of his office when he wasn't looking and wash them and put them back before he figured it out...he also used the plunger that had been in the toilet...in the kitchen sink...and when I gasped when I saw that...he looked at me and asked what was the matter...I told him that the plunger had just been in the toilet hours before ( we had a patient caused flood)....and he asked me if I actually believed in bacteria...I told him I thought I did....he turned around and kept plunging the kitchen sink.....working there taught me a lot....I don't respect doctors anymore.
Valuable insight thank you - on bus so this is all I will write for now :) I'm glad I thought right !
BearCountryGG on 08/11/2018:
You did exactly right...once you start adderal you will be quickly addicted.
yes, it seems his goal was to get me on something quite addictive. so i'd keep wanting more. that's what i think, since, even talking with this dr he didn't seem to think i had ADHD at all, it wasn't apparent at all. he just keep suggesting it. i def do not need ANY MORE stimulants, i don't think, other than my coffee and caffeine lol.
BearCountryGG on 08/11/2018:
No knish like a NYC knish....I was actually ordering them from the lower east side for awhile back about 15 years ago.......but since I was the only one eating them I stopped.
they were nothing special at the place we went, i was soooo unimpressed. mostly potato and hardly any veggies. they had so many flavors but basically they all tasted just potato - they really could have put MUCH more variety and flavor into each bite. i had to LOOK for mushrooms in the mushroom knish. nothing special. i had to find the jalepenos in the jalepeno knish and then there was a cheese one which i just stabbed my fork in to taste, it was wayyy tooo rich.
but it was my friend's bday and we were going with her where she wanted to go. you know i'm big on veggies, lol, she isn't. she likes all food...for my bday maybe i'll plan something totally about what i wanna do with friends :) it would involve an aphrodisiac mushroom restaurant haha.

happy-1 on 08/12/2018:
It helps me a lot.
If you go for it, make sure you always get it refilled 3 days early so you can build a small stockpile. Red Cross doesn't stock it so if there is an emergency you need to have enough to taper off then go without. It doesn't feel like anything to be on it, at least to me. I just magically keep a hold of my car keys... But withdrawal is nasty. Ask your doctor how to taper off on your dosage in case of emergency. Don't stroke out.
