I slept in like I usually do on days off. around 9.5-10 hours from around 10pm until 7:30/8am. this amount of sleep is what i love!
When i woke up, i had some kombucha and also did some light abs exercises.
Moving abs and pushups to the morning mostly before work has been awesome and a time-saver for after work and not needing to do any really long workouts anymore in the evenings.

Today i'm off to drive from Queens to Westchester. visiting my friend C there to see a movie (Britney Runs A Marathon). We have been wanting to see the movie since late August, lol, and it's good it's still playing. This movie theater is in the Palisades Mall...so after it's done, we'll get a snack, visit some other stores & have dinner there at the mall also. I'd like to get frozen yogurt and researched where it is in the mall, lol, so we can go there. and i also looked up a few other things of interest - there's climbing wall but i don't plan to do that today and BUMPER CARS (considering asking if she she wants to) and a baby clothing discount store.
It's a huge mall, if you look it up, Palisades Mall i believe in Westchester or near that area in NY. So many stores, restaurants, activities...endless!
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!

I slept in a little so i'd like to do my pushups tonight, after work :) and possibly along with some arm weights and then i will not have to do them over the weekend :)
I cannot wait to go home and go to bed early tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!
when i get home, i may be stimulated to workout, if so, i'll have some fruit and try for a workout - rather get it in, before the weekend, than think about it when i wake up tomorrow ;)....will try for this tonight. but i have been rather sleepy all day at work...the heat is on high but that's because otherwise i was cold LOL....what a complainer.

i used to work in a fully Indian area and there was TONS of restaurants with it, but now i have limited options around here in NYC Indian isn't that popular.

after work plan: haircut back near me - i was debating growing my hair back out but it's just a waste of my energy as it's really nice to wake up and go - and not worry about a blow dryer or anything else. so, it will stay short, despite not going to be a cop or court officer, LOL.
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
i never did a perm, but i did do all the lengths as well as a keratin technique that makes the hair shiny (but it was a process and i got it done cheap and it ruined my hair). therefore, i am 37 and really do think i'm keeping short hair for life.
yeah, i shall keep it short as it works for ME :)
btw, if i had your hair, i'd keep it longer, you've got that fine, straight, shiny type.
What I DON"T like is when women think that they MUST have a shorter hairstyle because they are of a certain age. What?? FORGET THAT!
like Legs, you have hair that lies easily straight when long ;) OR, you blow dry it, but it looks easy to dry. mine is NOT easy. and blow drying it sets it off more.

i'm glad there are others in this group that are working day to day...and that it's a mix of us here. i do like the support.
I'm sorry to hear that Ricky thinks your time spent here is wasted. :-( I like reading your posts - so your entries are never "time wasted" to me. However, if you find that posting here is not helpful, then that's different.
I hope you will continue to post.
One thing I have been wanting to mention: You were kind of down on yourself, for having a lot of education that you are not using for a career. I get what you're saying, but I am also a firm believe that education for learning's sake - and not for a career - is a noble thing too.
One of my friends from high school, went to college and got a degree in Early Childhood Education. Since then, she's earned several more degrees in math and science. What is her career? She's an artist living in England!
My point is: I think it's great that you have all of this education. OK, so careers didn't come out of any of them - yet - but so what? It's made you a smarter, wiser person. That is to say, you know more now than you did before you had your degrees. I hope that if you love to learn, that you will continue to do so.
(I once had a secret ambition to learn nursing, but around here, they won't let you enter a nursing program unless you do plan to use it as a career, unfortunately.)
part of the reason for the career issue is i did NOT push myself enough. if you were my mom...oh boy...you'd be cringing and upset!
anyways, i have had many opportunities and it seems i will be ok for awhile still. i will def be looking into the next court exam for the court assistant (though it will not come out again for 2-3 years) which is kinda good timing as the project i am on will take around 1-2 years anyways. and with that test, there's no age limit or fitness test.
too bad about the court officer one, though it's obvious i had to let it go.
you are right about this being a therapy site and it sure does help.

there was an opening to sign up for "court asssistant" open exam in new york state to take the test this year. of course, i hadn't considered it before and missed that deadline this past summer. oh well.
as i consider my legs and look further at options, starting at court assistant, lower pay than i have now, but then moving my way up a little bit, i felt it was a fine option for work and a career / job that i know has longevity as long as i do the job. they only hire who they need for the courts.
i don't like the idea of not knowing where i'll work or it i'll work or if my job won't be needed. i need more job security to feel better.
the union has great benefits and salary and yes i'd leave it if i could, knowing i was leaving it for something more reliable in terms of a reliable career that i'd know i'd be working in and not risk losing my job for life.
but i missed the opportunity to sign up for the exam because i wasn't considering it. the exam comes again in 4 years for the court assistant. and i may just look into it then, again.

a couple months ago, i paid for an organ concert at 7pm tonight it starts, by work. so i'm going to that.
i am meeting R at 5:30pm to shop at Express by my work bc he needs some new clothes for work. then we'll eat. then, i think i'm going to the concert without him bc he'll get bored and i don't want him with me anyways if he isn't going to enjoy. so, i'm looking forward to attending on my own to this concert, which is close to work.

Good amount of sleep. Makes all the difference. Enjoy your day and the movie.
Felt nice ! She was tired due to a long night she said but I was actually quite awake until a big dinner :)
Donkey on 10/05/2019:
Have fun today! The movie looks really good - let us know what you think!
When we exercise has a lot to do with getting it done. When I was doing push-ups daily, in the evenings, I would forget, until I got into bed. Well, then I didn't want to have to get up and do them! If you have the time in the morning, go for it. I don't always get up at the same time during the week - I try, but am not always successful - so it's hard to make it a habit.
On Friday I got up too late and that’s why I didn’t get the pushups in that day - it’s nice to get some things out of the way before the day starts.
I agree a lot of my exercise right now is to do it so that I don’t “lose it” - lose the muscles

Enjoy the movie and the mall walk!
Might have walked too much but so nice to get out !!!! So nice !!!!
