I Slept 12 hours ! Up and happy! Good weather to try the beep test outside to see where I am at.
beep test i tried but did horribly...tons of room for improvement...i failed it. i am eager to start again to work on my cardio & see how i am next year.

1450 after lunch...
Dinner: to be a light dinner of lite ice cream and maybe some fruit. Not more than 400 cal..very light ice cream like 350 cal for the whole pint!

___________________________________________________
Saturday plans are really simple:go to track and set up for the BEEP test..try it...this will be in morning after breakfast. then lunch & after lunch i'll go to gym for a workout. after that i'm not sure...i'm not even sure what to do Sunday! well...laundry, get some food for the week - i plan to eat out for lunch next week everyday...food is good & healthy so right now i'm going to enjoy it since like i said - it's very HEALTHY.
_____________________________________________________
ending the day on a more positive note: 2070 avg cals per day = DECENT! it's my goal to remain with weekly averages now in the 2000s rather than 2100 or 2200! I'm doing good if i make the choice to eat less today. i can do it!
_____________________________________________________
it won't be a "low cal" week or even moderate cal week, it'll end around 2200 cals per day, but i'll try my best to manage my appetite tonight and eat a lighter dinner - maybe a pint of light ice cream or something to just enjoy the motions of eating but go to bed early tonight...hope to have a more productive day tomorrow after a full night of restful sleep.
____________________________________________________
Last night i was in bed by around 7pm, up at 4:45. It's enough sleep, yes, but lately i am extremely tired and it helps me not to get sick as i transition again to a new workplace and commute as well as new coworkers and slightly new assignments....
I ate a bunch of carbs for dinner and was fully knocked out afterwards...but it's also from all the changes going on for me - my body is definitely still adjusting and i'll prob be finally adjusted by April or so - it's very important right now to me to move thru Winter with continuing my gym sessions and the class i'm taking. I also have a small number of other commitments (just like a couple of them) until April, so, I have enough on my plate until then. I say April because April is in about a month from now and that's how long I figure it'll take me to feel comfortable and used to the new commute (which actually i have a choice of station i use so i'll try a different subway station going home tonight - they are both equally distant from work - around 1/4 mile...)
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!
1st day working in NYC during the time i've been an adult. Once, while i was in college, i worked for a brief amount of time there.
So today i'm up earlier, just before 5am, and now i'll leave my apt at 5:45-5:55 to get to work by 7am. Hopefully this is enough time, i think it is & i'll be testing it today and tomorrow.
My new hours will be 7am-3:30...3:30 is the good part....and if i were able to get home by 4:30, that would be amazing!
Had kombucha early so I'm finally mostly unbloated. Had a banana 200 cal Packed a breakfast wrap 60, one slice salami 20, egg and ketchup 100. 200 400 Also packed a water. I'll def go out or order in lunch - hoping to go out although it's raining today I think by lunchtime....
There's a march in the city Saturday - def not going. I'll be really happy to sleep in. I now wake up around 4:45-5. Scale says I have gained around 2-4lbs
Coffee 100 and cashews 200 700 before lunch really happy it's 11 and that I can go home at 3:30pm
Lunch from right across street huge prepared food marketplace lots of roasted and also sautéed broccoli 150, 2 pieces of plaintains 150, lots of seared tuna with sesame seeds 250? 550-600 - just expensive and i coulda taken a hair less food. it was around $7.50
3pm snacks: 100
1350...really happy to go home in 20 minutes, i'm really tired.
Dinner: Overate pretzels 350, peanut butter 120, cooked cranberries 60, yogurt 140 total here 700

not gonna bring lunch to work tomorrow, planning to go out and expore the area for lunch since my coworker / boss is out this week....so i def plan to go out for lunch - and not bringing lunch would be that excuse.!!!!!!! it's the city so there's gonna be tons of food places in that area.
____________________________________________
Gym tonight...helps me in my goals to improve my fitness.
my location is changing again for work so i'm going to also change my hours. it'll take around 25 minutes longer to reach work now and same to come home...so instead of 45 min, it'll be around 1hr and 10min each way. i'm FREAKING TIRED and really not ready for the commute change to start TOMORROW. anyways, the change should be BETTER with me doing more work with someone i already know. I should be acting as an assistant to an estimator / project manager instead of being left to my own devices. I need to pack my stuff today so it can be delivered to the new location tomorrow. it's actually directly in NYC (Manhattan)...not queens or surrounding area. This is cool...maybe actually i realize there might be an Express bus i can take to work - the whole way - gonna look into that now.
Express bus is double the price, adding up to around $120 a month...not sure it's worth it - so i'll just stick with bus and train (takes the same amount of time and physically it more of an exercise if i stick to bus and train rather than sitting straight for an hour on the express bus).
Chocolate is not coming with me to the new work location.
I am going to change my hours, to start earlier @ 7am and get outta work by 3:30pm - instead of 7:30-4. with a longer commute home, it's hard enough to get to the gym after work - i'd rather aim to get home earlier. lol, but i realize i won't be - as the half hour just covers the additional commute - but maybe there's the express bus...checking this.

3day average: 2216 - won't help weight loss but it's a decent average. The thing i've learned is not to have a bad day and try to balance it - no - but to have many good days instead...and not have all these bad days. to work towards being more successful and careful. less chocolate. less junk.
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!
i can't complain, it was productive and i didn't overeat!
I'd rather see a higher daily caloric intake with healthy foods, than going back to binge-eating. Just my opinion, but trying to offer some perspective.
Slept over parents house on Sunday night and had a delicious dinner which also included a slice of a heavy mouse cake so calories may have been 2600 for the day...

_______________________________________________________
plans are good for today. looking forward to a relaxed but also productive 3-day weekend. No big social plans aside from maybe walking over to Ricky's apt and watching a movie with him. It's a really busy Winter with the class and keeping up my routine exercise so I am trying do what I want to do most but not overdo right now!
I haven't been eating well - eating too high calories for about 2-3 weeks and the scale is starting to show it. So, as usual, when i told myself that today i'd be really good - i've already indulged in the Lindt white chocolate truffles i have - i'm stopping buying chocolate for awhile now. Taking a break and not allowing it for myself at work bc it's gotten out of hand...
I have been productive this morning already cooked up some chicken / mozzerella sausages that were in my fridge - so i do not need to buy any proteins until Monday before the short work week (we are off Monday for President's Day!).
In terms of being productive, my plan is for two good workouts (today and Monday) and a bonus today of seeing where i am at on the Court Officer Beep Test. I'll set it up outside (just need a couple cones set up to mark 65 feet) and you run back and forth and must always get to the 65' before the "beep." It seems a challenging test and i just want to see where i am at right now...After lunch, i'll go also to the gym.
It's a little chilly out, but i don't plan to be outside too long - just to see where i am at with the beep test...I will really be trying to to a little cardio each weekend - whether it be jogging or walking or what have you.
With it being a busy Winter, I'm not looking to overdo this nice 3-day weekend.
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!
I find with certain foods, I can't have them in the house or I will eat them. Maybe not all at once -- getting MUCH better at that (yay!!) -- but still, if it's something I don't need to be eating on a regular basis, then once they're gone, I don't re-stock.
So lucky that you have Monday off. My office is open, and I have to be there, because 2 of the 5 assistants are on vacation. Plus we have a busy day of appointments, so I'll be doing the meet & greet.
I hope that you get a chance to run the Beep test. I'd be interested to hear your results :-)
i think i'm letting my mind get a hold of my body - starting to think to negatively at work all day...and it's affecting me at home - bingeing lately...so i'm going to work on it... :)
Ended the week poorly wiTh a small binge tonight 2600 total today.
Weekly avg: 2185 per day
omg happy friday...so happy for a break coming tomorrow..def sleep in day!
Home: kombucha 30
Breakfast: banana 120, wrap 60, egg and cheese all toasted 400, tea, coffee, and chocolate of course lol., later another chocolate (dark)...just relaxing here at work right now...some people out and some at meetings, quiet day right now in office.
Snack: cashews salt and pepper 200
lunch: healthy again from home - leftovers eggplant mix 100, lettuce 50, olives and spaghetti squash mix 100, wheat gluten (it's a protein) 250 : 500.
3pm pb crackers 200 - been craving them all day :)
1550 before dinner :)
I am gonna keep on with this (bringing a lot of my lunches from home)...may pick up extra food for dinner from the shop nearby at lunchtime during my walk - bc at home the food i have left is dull in flavor...need something to mix up with it..
______________________________________
I'm having a VERY tired day like if you gave me a bed to lay down on, i'd be back to sleep within an instant. I'm still sleeping like a log every single night of the week...my body is constantly using sleep to repair itself with the new workouts and all. Still it's like I can sleep for very long periods of tme - 10 hours. I'm happy to be able to sleep a lot this weekend & do plan to sleep in every single day - Sat, Sun, Monday we have off for President's Day.
My body is really sore today...because of new gym workouts still my legs are catching up and also i was doing errands all lafternoon yesterday after work - which i'm glad i did & just wish my body could "bounce back" better...i was walking just a little more after work ..got home a bit after 7 and was asleep by 8:30.

Morning :)
Home Kombucha 50
TASTY breakfast toasted in oven at work! wrap low cal 60, egg 70, cheese 100! one dark chocolate 50.
Snack: salt and pepper cashews 200, banana
12:30pm Lunch: was low carb and boy do i feel nice and light but full...i think i need (at least on days of less cardio) to perhaps rethink my lunch - and stop with the calorie loaded lunch that always include carbs...maybe i don't need as much as i think?..and maybe i'll get less sleepy bc today i feel GREAT after lunch! i actually feel ALERT! it's an amazing feeling! anyways, lunch was lots of Rutabaga which is a low cal root veggie in very light sauce like 150 tops i think for the veggie along with a small pork burger 200. total around 400 and clementine 50. 450 and light i feel so good, but i do feel full!
2pm dark chocolate 50
1150...meeting ricky at train on the way home to look at wall art & possibly also have dinner out (even though i have TONS of leftovers which should actually last until Monday)
since ending most energy drinks, def not drinking them daily, my skin is better. it's still not great though and has fluctuations...i am sure if i cleaned up my diet even more, my skin would also improve....
_____________________________________________________
I'm glad i showered right before bed and skipped that this AM to make the morning fast after a busy first half the week with activities going on every single night since Monday...but I'm still rushing to get ready so I know I need to get outta bed earlier.
It's not good to walk into work at exactly 7:30am on dot bc if there's any problem with the commute, i'll end up being late. It's better to have like 10 minutes to spare.
Very relaxed day with a couple coworkers at meetings and others out for the day...
Looking forward to eating leftovers tonight and getting to bed early so i can end the week tomorrow on a Positive Note feeling more rested on a Friday!
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!
Ginger kombucha got me off the diet coke for a while. Sometimes I backslide.
i do not find that stirring just a little bit will destroy bubbles...try it with seltzer also...nice job on working towards eliminating caffeine.

Good luck with the BEEP test trial today. I hope it goes well!
I'm sorry I didn't get to commenting to wish you luck in the change of your office location. I'm glad to read that your commute went well. The hours sound better to me, too. How does that work out with your class after work?
It won't affect the class and it just means I'll definitely not have to leave early from work to go to it ....no change :)
Just having trouble with not assisting but told I need to complete a whole assignment myself :/
I'll be reaching out to the man I share the office with - there are no cubicles just offices
Time to move off the couch and do this beep test !
