KOMBUCHA but haven't pooped since Sunday, weird. 50

snack (and super hungry / big appetite today - prob not good to have had the chocolate first thing!) 200 bar good fats brand
1pm lunch: Fresh and Co. salad veggies 50, with balsamic dressing not much 50, 1/2 piece of salmon 300, few chips 100, and piece of whole grain bread 150. total here: 650
1400, at least healthy, this was important, and i slightly overeate now i'm sleepy!

2150, good.
4day:
______________________________________
my skin is a little broken out around lower face around my mouth. it's not even hormonal time for me. I think it's due to not enough water and also due to eating too much crap?
i'll get some avocado maybe in a salad at lunch or salmon in a salad, we'll see either way, i gotta make lunch satisfying and healthy..
i didn't bring lunch from home on purpose, as i need something fresh and healthy and green and will not be finding that at home!
_______________________________________
I have upper body weights schduled and will leave at 5pm on the dot as supervisor is out and i'd like to get the upper bod done and go to bed afterwards...that's the only main plan for tonight besides making a wrap for tomorrow / packing food for tomorrow's lunch.

______________________________________________
tonight: first i gotta move my car before i get home to a spot that's good all week (current one will get a ticket on Friday if i forget to move it before then - so i'll just move it tonight to get a spot for the rest of the week!) they are still doing the garage roofs, now in week 3 or 4 i think! no exercise is planned, i'd like to go to bed early again so i'll have high momentum to get thru this week.
this coming weekend, assuming no rain, i've scheduled myself and Ricky to "walk the runway," a 3mi course at the local Airport! if it rains, we're not going though, despite paying...rather not get sick? not sure if we'll even go to pick up our tshirts...might as well just sleep in as we have to be there before 8am, so, we'll see. praying for no rain!
Progress as of today: -0.5 lbs lost so far, only 1.5 lbs to go!
I went to bed on early side, woke up a hair due to some acid reflux during night but laid in bed and it went away again :) all good, slept way more than i usually do during the week...for the past 3 nights thankfully! I wish i had more days off to continue to sleep a little more - it's just what my body needed :)

Paris is pretty set now at close to 3pm...(couple things are still without advance ticket purchase bc they have to be done using a special app for one (notre dame)and for a castle they are only bought there on spot (Vincennes Castle)..... everything's advanced paid for.
....and i've decided to clean my bathroom followed by a shower, then perhaps just a home workout? not sure...it's late so i don't think i need to drive out to the gym now...and the fact i don't have a garage yet, i'll keep my car parked where it is!
(i hate planning / researching, so as you can see i'm procrastinating with food, i'm not trying to do it on purpose, it's a life-long habit and very hard to just stop when my body is practically salivating like it's (food) is a drug when i'm doing this paris research - done very soon).
__________________________________________________________
Plans today: limited but wanting to get them all done :)
Finish Paris Basic Plan Outline and PUT IT TO BED until trip, buy the tickets online today for museums so no waiting on lines!
Clean bathroom tub / tiles / sink :) wipe bathroom floor also.
Upper body workout at the gym, no legs

_______________________________________
I used the elliptical for 20 min at gym and when i got off, my legs felt like rubber omg! i really suck at cardio right now! i'm glad i tried it out and did it there. i also did a leg strength workout before it....leg day is complete and with a little cardio!
______________________________________________________
I could have cooked the corned beef a hair more, but it is still good. it would have been more tender if i cooked it one more hour, but i figured that part out after i removed most of everything - the soup and all the ingredients - from the crockpot.
11am: pick up rx distance glasses ; then...I plan to do my leg workout / walk a little bit at park if it doesn't rain - otherwise i'll maybe do the elliptical for 30min at gym
1:30pm I don't have a long list of things to do today. I'm planning to get fruits/veggies, wraps/bread item, iced coffee & KOMBUCHA today instead of over the weekend shopping.
I need cash for tomorrow to pay for my hair highlights :)
3:30pm-4:30pm (or earlier) Lastly, laundry, including my bed sheets. will be good to get everything done before heading over to my parents.
Friday night and Saturday:
After that, i'm headed to see my mom and dad for dinner and to sleep over for tomorrow when my dad is out of town so i can help my mom in the morning thru early afternoon tomorrow, before i get my hair done also Saturday late afternoon:)
Sunday:
I want to clean the bathroom & do an upper body workout at the gym :))
Progress as of today: -0.5 lbs lost so far, only 1.5 lbs to go!
That corned beef sounds really good. I just had the last of the pork roast that I made in my slowcooker/crockpot. Those things are THE BEST invention ever LOL.
Well done on the calories! And I love the elliptical - that's one thing I miss about the gym, but if/when I join a gym again, I'm going to make the weights my focus.
Can't wait to see your new hair-do!
My mom is a bit rigid so a bit stressful but we are getting along well today yes ! Catching up on doing laundry / towels / sheets :) so when my dad comes home he can sleep with her in a clean bed tonight !! He has a busy day for work stuff driving 2 hours each way (4hrs round trip) for a long all day event ! So I told her we should get the bedding done so he doesn’t need to do it with her tomorrow !
Home: kombucha and relaxed watching TV 70
Breakfast: wrap 130, cream cheese 100, lox 50, coffee 50...later a chocolate 50 (def leftover drowsiness from sleeping pill but glad i took it - just wish i took it earlier - perhaps i'll keep it in my bag a few to take for the commute?. anyways, i don't take it that often so maybe not.

Progress as of today: -0.5 lbs lost so far, only 1.5 lbs to go!
I hope you have a really good day off!!
i weighed myself and was higher than usual today (above 115 slightly)!? lol weird...despite 2 weeks of lower cals. it takes time ;) but i do feel i am that weight, for sure. it's probably bc i am NOT doing much cardio. no worries ;) i'm eating better, etc. so things will improve.

edit- no cooking tonight and heading to bed early around 7:30/8pm - tired and heading in for some rest tonight - decided not to do any other activities...i laid in bed after dinner and couldn't sleep, so took a sleeping pill which nocked me out 20 min later. waking up of course i was drowsy but the sleep was worth it.
Early dinner when i am home: i think more of the Purdue breaded chicken and in a wrap ?
__________________________________________________
Tonight: rest night on exercise, but i will walk a little bit - one mile of the way home!..
it's beautiful weather, so i'll walk a nice amount and be home early enough to do the other things i have planned.
Progress as of today: -0.5 lbs lost so far, only 1.5 lbs to go!
added cardio, when it happens, will help me.
1900 4-day avg...i weighed myself and was higher than usual today!? lol weird.
sick of reading on paris, taking a full break this week to read a book on Jazz, given to me by Rosie, the one who i stayed with for TWO STRAIGHT weeks back in Janaury in Florida! :)
________________________________________________
Today i didn't stay in bed long & i also realized that yesterday i didn't use my "light" alarm clock in addition to the regular. It does help to get up when the room is also getting brighter (i have one of those alarm clocks too and use it in addition to the radio). I feel good not rushing around my apt and had so much time that i even foam rolled my upper thighs for a little while. no rushing. nice. Plus, i can leave 10min early if i so wish to! - yes, i wish to!
Doing separate leg days is probably working out for the BEST :) because it gives me a shorter, better managed, workout and it gives me another "assignment" during the week. I become motivated while i'm doing it to make lunch / prep for the week (during short breaks between exercises) and it prevents me from spending the night on the couch.
however, if i'm doing legs, it's another day i'm not "walking home." as when i walk home, that's an exercise in itself and i don't do it before my longer upper body workouts or before leg days.
but, like leg cramps exercises, she doesn't do them all very often each week. instead, it's several different training types some not more than 2 days.
my approach now is moving towards Leg Cramp's approach.
April Plan:
3 days a week of upper
2 days a week of legs
2 days a week of walks (even if one is shorter / the other longer) - this is enough for now.
_____________________________________________
kombucha: just a few slow sips while watching tv and not in a rush - how nice! n/a
Breakfast: coffee with stevia and milk 50, good fats bar 200. i'm off my sugar rushes and mocha coffees. i'm in "slim down" mode lately and even today when i should feel so slim as i didn't eat much last night, i still feel fat where the actual fat is...if that makes sense. and i want to lessen it a hair before paris. this is working :)

Snacks fruit and iced coffee 150
during exercise: aminos / coconut water mixes
after exercise: i don't know, but i can't see myself indulging in anything too huge! my body is really not craving big volumes right now. after the previous three weeks of bathroom troubles, i'm happily back on track and enjoying it that way. Purdue chicken fingers and extra mustard soooo goood just made 300
1800 :-)
Progress as of today: -0.5 lbs lost so far, only 1.5 lbs to go!
Looks like a good food day too!

Glad to hear about your day yesterday; sounded like a lot of fun! I've watched Gangs of New York, and I thought it was such an interesting movie. Love to hear about history, especially things like that and how things have changed over the years.
Are you planning a workout today? Sounds like you just need to get home and relax.
that movie sounds good.
i just have a short workout, legs. if i concentrate, i can get it done in around 45 min or maybe less.
I have had a lot of years doing nothing and habits of doing nothing on weeknds for years. so it's always something i fall back to, though i wish it wasn't so...hard to escape my past ;)
then again, i like a low key weekend here and there...so...it is what it is..
i do hope though that as i train and do more, my body starts to get more used to it!

Yesterday was a fun day sightseeing in NYC. The area i went to is now called "Nolita" (North of Little Italy). This area used to be slums and now is one of the most expensive places to live in Manhattan.
It was fun and eduational. Perhaps a bit TOO educational as i didn't have much of a catholic or protestant or Irish or Italian background. And the church we went to, famous and historical called Basillica of St. Patricks Old Cathedral includes the histories of all 4 in it's past! Very interesting and good learning. Although i cannot even reiterate everything i learned bc i learned so much it's a bit wishy washy in my brain. Very interesting.
For instance, the gangs and violence taking place in that part of the city back in the early 1800's until like 1850 was more violent than ever in NYC...even compared to what people say is the most violent 1970's! Lots of fighting and religious / ethnic gangs. interesting. interesting to see the Basillica using tours and other opportunities as ways to gain $ to keep the church standing and for refurbishing.
_______________________________________
Breakfast, reviewing Paris plans, picking up a piece of prepared salmon / veggie salad, seeing mom, gym, perhaps cleaning the hamster cage, and relaxing is what's in store.
I did laundry last night before dinner. SO GLAD it's done & not a time-waster today! :)
Progress as of today: -0.5 lbs lost so far, only 1.5 lbs to go!
There was a movie in the early 2000's called Gangs of New York, with Leonardo diCaprio about the Irish (?) gangs? Or maybe the Irish versus the Italian gangs? Not sure, because I never saw it, but I know of what you speak. Those were really brutal, survival times.
I have heard of that movie and cannot wait to borrow it from library :)

Do you think the breakout is related to your chapped lips? I have to have something on my lips all the time now. My son, though, goes through spells of getting really chapped skin (hands, lips) depending on the season. Maybe now that he's in Texas where it's either warm or hot (and no cold), he'll do better.
Good plan for working out! And the food looks good today too! (Hope you can go to the bathroom soon... Been there, done that.)
partial bathroom use at work ;) why not right!? luckily nobody was in there...so i could do what i had to between flushes LOL LOL LOL.
yes, the skin is all related. i think my lips are chapped partly to using something i might have been allergic to. also, then, a couple days ago, i applied tea tree oil right above my lip with obviously seemed to spread onto the lip, to chap it further LOL. tea tree oil is bad luck, i shouldn't touch it!
