After exercise: thinking to warm up one of those taste Cauliflower pizza crusts. 400 cals (they are so bad with reporting the true calories in their food!) honestly, i still don't believe their calorie count. (since they first introduced it, the calorie count on the package has gone up significantly and i'm sure it's still wrong!)
2050, excellent. - much better....by snacking less at work and sticking to slightly smaller and healthier meals :)
6 day avg: around 2200
_____________________________________________________
lately things are busy. my halloween was nice and restful ...went to bed early but my calories lately are too high and pants are getting tighter. so, slowly i'll be watching again :) i think that 2300 types of calorie days are not conducive overall to my weight maintenance as much as i'd like that amount to be ! lol...
it was cute to see kids trick or treating :)
I'll be commenting soon on your entries....def want to catch up with you all soon!
I plan to lower cals for some of November (not around Thanksgiving) and also a lot of December (i don't even celebrate Christmas). with many days off coming around this time, it'll be easier for me once i am sleeping more on long weekends and holidays - Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years...then,i have a trip for 2 weeks scheduled to stay with a good friend in Florida. So, i hope to feel good and not have gained weight by Early January :) and i know this plan will work out well!
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!

__________________________________________
Around 6 hours sleep, but, slept really well all weekend so it won't be a very difficult day for me today to get thru.... :) Happy about my choices and that i got my weights routine in last night at home! I def do not need to rejoin this expensive gym, i do not think? but there's no other good gym around...so...and i like biking to it...so....not sure.!
I still like going out to the gym for motivation on weekends that are more relaxed when i don't have many other plans. So, i think i'll just continue paying for it.
_________________________________________
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
it was so nice to try to bike to the gym and get it in that way...cardio and weights in one day...i shall give the gym some extra thought.
it's good to go there to get outta the house and to use their extra equipment i don't have...i wish there were other gym options by me that were cheaper...no cheap gyms by me.
Slept for hours, feeling good now! Woke up a couple times during night bc i really wasn't so tired & went to bed early, but it feels good to have rested so much :)

I have an event to go out to sorta far, at least an hour's drive, maybe more. I have to do it alone, so trying not to be rushing around all morning.
Luckily i found one last seltzer can hidden in my fridge, so that will keep me satisfied till i pick up more later today.
I am planning to stay home until around 11:30 when i need to leave to drive to the friend's 40th bday party :)
_______________________________________________
At home, i have some important tasks to do this morning:
- take care of all my health copay reimbursements since like the summer or even last Spring! :) (good deal with the union...regarding being able to pay yourself back with your own money that is set aside only for this purpose of paying for copays....)...
- laundry
- write a bday card and find the gifts i am giving them, remember to bring also a bag of opened bacon crumbles that i do not want anymore and just bought last week - they said they'd take it lol
- set the slow cooker and put in my cabbage to cook while i'm out :) and it'll last for this week!
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
yes, i prefer the real avocado too. i prob will not make these brownies again, though, they were good and i'll be finishing them!
Happy Saturday.

_________________________________________________
i was gonna go to gym tonight but have decided to do it tomorrow, when i get home from the party, maybe have coffee on way home :)...most probably...
__________________________________________________
The walk i was supposed to go on as a fundrasier for Muscular Dystrophy was cancelled due to the storm, thankfully. At least they have my money so that's good!
I'm so glad to be home, because much of the day tomorrow i'll be driving (by myself since the other friend who was gonna join me has bronchitis unfortunately) out of town over an hour each way to a bday party out on Long Island.
Since I'm home today, I do plan on baking some old and new treats. One coworker literallly requested i make my coconut brownies again! So, that's on the list. they may come out fluffier because i now have the correct cooking appliance, an electric mixer, that i didn't have previously so the egg whites will be much more airy and fluffy!
I'm also making another "fat bomb" which will include pumpkin and cream cheese, amongst other ingredients, to make a "pumpkin fat bomb!" also, if it's good i'll bring it in for coworkers.
lastly, i have enough veggies and cabbage to make another whole batch of slow cooked cabbage again. so, i'm making it for the week, but using a slightly different recipe with NO canned onions since i didn't like them at all in this past weeks recipe. i do have one fresh onion in the fridge, so i'll cut that up! the carrots cooked beautifully in my first batch, i followed directions that since they are so hard to place them at the bottom of the pot so they get the highest heat on them...worked perfectly. it's a healthy recipe and way to get veggies in, so i may put the slow cooker on before i leave for the party tomorrow and come home to a pleasant smelling (sorta? it's cabbage though!) apartment tomorrow eve!
I sometimes feel anxious driving long distances alone, so i was REALLY looking forward ot this friend being in my car with me for the drive, but, it's also a chance for me to work on this issue i have with driving long distances! On the way home tomorrow early evening from this party i'm going to tomorrow, i'll stop on LI at a large supermarket that we don't have many of locally by me to pick up flavored seltzers and other things i can use around the house.
I just got my garage back after the 7 weeks they spent working on the lot, so now parking is back to being easy :) so driving is good at least, and no worries to freak out about finding a spot :)
I will once again be able to drive more, and during the week if i need to now! Like, after work if i need something, going to the store will be much more convenient with my car to bring things home!
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
but, yes, i am starting to logically put mind over matter in terms of the driving.
also, i do not like the straight roads, so boring and just to drive straight the whole time...at least i am relaxing today which will make tomorrow way easier i would think!
Kombucha 50, later coffee 50
My coconut blondie 350..shoot forgot to add whipped cream 120!
Snack: TBD chocolate 150 and atkins bar 150
Lunch: more of my fave cabbage, a leftover egg, fries..up to 700
snack: an apple, green tea decaf
Walking home for most of the way i think, since the walk tomorrow i may not show up to if we have a Nor'Easter storm!...3mi walk home :)
Dinner at home: leftover indian spinach with oil 300 so good and Amy's microwave meal 400:-D
2350 frday avg.
7day: 2230, high cal week, but, i was seriously PMSing and indulging. :) at least it all tasted quite good.
Recap of last night:
My friend type relationship with R has plunged for the worst. Without going into detail bc it's just so stupid a situation, he threw a very light package at my feet because i didn't leave his apt lobby fast enough bc he wanted to speak with someone and i didn't oblige his command to get outta there...public humiliation and embarrassment aren't acceptable. this is one of the reasons i cannot date him. He's extremely unpredictable and i think he's bipolar. either way, i'm done with him for the time being....as it upset me so much that he'd ever embarass me, in public, in front of other people. not acceptable behavior. and i'm embarassed.
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
i now also found a cool recipe for a crustless blueberry cheesecake which is also on my list of keto breakfasts to make :) yum yum.
kombucha 70
Breakfast: coconut blondie made by me keto style 300 with whipped cream 130...later almonds 50
Snack: coconut atkins 200
Lunch: my eggs 150, my buttered, baked cabbage with some broth and carrots, 250, goldfish crackers 150...550
Snack: apple?
Snack 2: coffee and bar..
banana and plum also during exercise 200
After exercise: raspberries leftover 50 and a healthy bar 230...around 300 :) choc ice cream 100
2050, perfect....
was major PMSing this week....glad it will pass soon! bc huge appetite!
6day avg: tbd when i feel like calculating...or looking back lol...2210.
_______________________________________________
Tonight i have a planned weights routine, i will ride the bus all the way home, conserve all energy for weights...and be in bed when i can...because i have a full weekend with going to a bday party...and full week until around 2 weeks from now.

- i enjoy more music options now at home, without headphones...better for my ears and hearing. i have now subscribed to Itunes music for more listening options than just my Amazon music that was free but was getting old very fast as i've been listening to it for YEARS...Itunes apple music has newer and a larger variety :)
- I get distracted at home & if i do not concentrate, i forget what i'm up to (what # set, etc) and also snack more and have to watch that...at the gym, there's no option to walk to the fridge
- i like not having to drive after a workout or waste time in commuting to and from the gym :)
- i like being able to have a wide range of food to choose from when my workout is done, and perhaps saving money not stopping at 7-Eleven or convenience stores on way home
- i love not going out in the dark / out in the cold during the week
- i love opening the window and turning off my air for a nice cool space while working out at home - just as comfortable as the gym
- home is more convenient and even this week i'll have to do a home workout because my trips to the gym lately are on bike and require a lot of free time
- i reserve gym for weekends - especially when i have ample time to spend biking there :)
- gym is more motivating.
- my goals to not lose strength over the winter will keep me motivated 100% to do home workouts.
in the mornings, when i take the E train (not everyday, sometimes F train), there's 4 long staircases up from the E to the street level...i ALWAYS, even when legs are tired, take the steps and lately i RUN up them, getting VERY winded, but i do it!...i try so hard to challenge myself...to improve and be better than i was the day before.
to me, at 36 yrs old, i feel i STILL have the opportunity to improve physically...to make my body capable for a court officer postion (AND that position comes with room to grow & gain even better compensation after years / more education on that job!)...
i KNOW i wasn't meant to sit at a desk...but to work in a more "vibrant" environment...and it's my goal to get this opportunity for myself.
it's just sometimes a task that REQUIRES THOUGHT NOW...and REQUIRES MAKING CHANGES NOW...to make sure i am productively working on ways to MAKE IT HAPPEN...like exercising at home...
to become a court officer, it involves actively making changes on my LIFESTYLE NOW...in ways so my body adapts and changes ...so i can pass that court officer test & get thru the 3-4 month (short) academy...then, i'm good !!! this is my goal.
it's wayyyy more doable than the nypd cop thing was...it rests on my promise to myself...my ability to steer clear of distractions like friends wanting to hang out but when i have to skip a workout and myself making the choice of what i can do and what i should place as priority....give and take...
work doesn't leave me worrying about tasks to finish, etc....i can go to bed with a very relaxed mind as of late.

____________________________________________
Boring uneventful day at work.
Conversations are boring. So i'm staying out of them.
Work is dull, but that's a GOOD THING...because i understand it and can do it...just time consuming, but that's also something i'm happy about.
But people...people are bothering me.
I'm starting to get more used to coworkers and we've all let down our guards somewhat and less being nice just because...meaning true colors coming out. not in a bad way, but people's personalities are getting slightly louder at times and also ingnorant comments are more noticable to me...and just other similar things which cause me to want to distance myself...and take care of myself before i'm stuck in this field forever...which my desire is to leave and still want to be a court officer, around 2 years from now...when the test comes out again. and that's why i talk of getting back into jogging training come Spring since time and weather is not going to work for jogging in Winter...i'll just get sick trying to fit it in / or injured.
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
coworker tells me it has nitrates, i get so annoyed when people talk to me about what i eat...because i do MUCH more research on food than most people...and they do NOT usually give me any good advice...like this coworker, telling me that jerky has nitrates, but not knowing this one does NOT. UGH!!!!
good job ...i have a good brand that is jalepeno flavored.
outside it was very pleasant and active during lunch :)

How are you feeling about your Dessert for Breakfast approach?
not as satisfying as egg & avocado on a wrap.
it's fun for now, dessert for breakfast, but lacks the protein / health as much as a whole 1/4 avocado with a whole egg...on a lighter wrap.
so it's fun, but i'm hungry earlier than if i ate a more nutritious breakfast.
i am still bored of the egg for breakfast tho...so i'll continue with the desserts approach for at least a couple weeks more.
also my skin has declined in it's overall sheen, but, i attribute that more to energy drink consumption.
i like the drinks for exercise, but, the taste and effects wear off...and acne replaces those things and lasts for days after lol...

Careful with the heavy backpack. That'll give you a neck injury.
ty Happy...yeah, usually it's not as heavy...i prefer to walk without so much extra weight!
