i promise myself that i'm laying off ice cream and sf jello and cool whip during the weeknights this week so that my face can clear up...instead, i plan on bars after the gym and indian food on rice cakes during nights i eat a full dinner at home.
_________________________________________
tonight is bed early, and cleaning hamster cage. no other plans. not really happy about the weekend...i just spent it driving around to hair appt, bridal shower, dinner with family...i felt like i was just going thru motions but not getting anything out of it.
workout was good last night. and jog/walk was good on Saturday.
I am planning to do a jog during the week, but def not tonight as i'm beat and want to go to bed early. Wednesday is the class....I guess Friday i'll jog. no other time and i'm not skipping my gym sessions.
Progress as of today: 0.5 lbs lost so far, only 3.5 lbs to go!
Kombucha 100 Wine 100 Potatoes 300 egg 100 eng muff 150, veg 200, more veg 100, cheese 100, bacon 100 ravioli 150 1400-1450
Bridal shower was boring as *uck.
My sister got mad bc I asked her to repeat a something she was talking about. I am not close with anyone here .... I have nothing to say to anyone ... I ate a lot but it was good tasty food but I am socially done .....just not enjoying this weekend or even my hair really 1500 bite of cake and coffee ;)
was going to make a wrap after gym but i'll have that in the morning instead...and stick with my guilty pleasure tonight.
jello 20, whipped cream 250, ice cream 100, and had a drink before at gym 25 cal. total around 400. good.
1900 today, excellent.
2 day is good again: 2050.
Progress as of today: 0.5 lbs lost so far, only 3.5 lbs to go!
Glad to see you had cake at least, right? So it wasn't a total bust, LOL....
I'm sorry the shower wasn't a better time. Were there games? Are you invited to the wedding too?
yes, there was def cake!
yes, a couple games.. and DEF yes for wedding...i was hoping to be invited with a guest but just me. so it will be more of the same :( i would have brought ricky and would have been able to chill with him the whole time, oh well.
I did once go to an all-women software development event. I really liked that. It gave me a glimpse into why other women think this **** is "fun".
Breakfast healthy was rice cakes 150 topped with saag 200. Afterwards I gave into whipped cream having half a af tub 250.
Wanted to get highlights but hair is too short so I am bleaching my hair again instead
Small coffee and Rice Krispie treat 150 750
small 1/4 bagel with little cc 100 850
Will buy a small wrap maybe if there's a Starbucks
made a wrap at home before jog: wrap100, 1/2 avocado 150, turkey deli meat 50, yellow pepper 50. 350
1200, good
out to dinner tonight with family...Asian, hoping to enjoy a lot of veggies. i looked at the menu....its stinky...just lots of sushi and fish. hardly any veggies...literally. but the ones that are on the menu, i'll def be ordering!
2200
________________________________________________
me figuring out the day...
and go jogging after this and cutting it close time wise I should have jogged this morning possibly instead of laundry but hopefully I'll fit it all in .....salon is far from me around 40 mom with traffic so it's eating up time and driving to my parents need to be there 5:45 and takes 45 minutes..... I think I'll be done here at 2-2:30 so home by 3:30 and jog until 4:30 change fast and drive home for dinner - prob a waste to dye my hair but it is what it is..
(Did I ask you this already? LOL...)
Go for the dye job! I never thought about hair having to be long enough for highlights... I don't think of it as a waste -- it's nice to change it up a little :-)
you did ask....i eat cool whip either light or more favorably the sugar free one. 20 cals per serving and like 25 servings for full a container is the 500 cal - generally i'll eat either half a container 250 or 1/4 container 125 cals. i got into the habit this year, never really bought cool whip in the past.
i admit i'm socially awkward in the workplace ...i love my personal space and quiet time...and in this room with 4 people (5 including me and sometimes 6) it's not like that at all. lots of dumb chatter about nothing and really sometimes it gets annoying to me a little bit (not a major annoyance). i am just so not a major people person or need to socially be entertained..so it's sorta stressful to sit surrounded by talking and be anxious (just slightly) from it as i work. also someone i know has headphones on her neck and i hear the music (clubbing music and also pop) and it's truly hard for me to work this way...
still i'm happy....just admitting my social akwardness.

home: kombucha 50
Work: coffee 50, piece of amazing tiramisu cake best cake i had in over a year i think! from italian bakery coworker brought it bc she's a grandmother again! and a cookie it came with also (lady finger?) 400, fruit later on 50.
snack: almonds?
lunch: probably my breakfast sandwich which was wrap 60, half avocado 160, turkey deli meat 50, veggies 100. 400 apple 100
snack: coffee and cookie 120
before gym: tbd i think just caffeine and sweet bar of some sort 100-200 half a small egg and avocado wrap i think with some chicken? from coworker 300 and strawberries 50. some caffeine. and a bite of chocolate to taste a sample on way home from manhattan. 50
1700 approx
after gym: maybe just a protein cookie. not sure, maybe indian on rice cake with tofu. getting sick of so much sugar and sweet things i think. 400
2100 APPROX - HIGHER THAN PLANNED BUT HEALTHIER AT END OF DAY.
7day: 2100 DECENT EVEN IF A BIT HIGH! . ...AT LEAST I ATE SOME HEALTHY AVOCADO.
my face is very broken out due to lots of caffeine, too much light whipped cream, too much light ice cream, and being constipated for a few days this week. ... it's clearing up bc i'm using honey on my face which is good for antibacterial properties it has! but my face would be clear if i'd cut down on the jello, etc. i do plan to take a break this weekend from at least the whipped cream, ice cream & jello. i'll also refrain from energy drinks, except i will consume coffee.
truth is, i need better meals again at night and evening after work. def too much whipped cream, ice cream. i bought saag the indian spinach dish which is delicious to eat over rice crackers this weekend. that is a healthy option and nutritious. i'm planning to buy Indian often as it's on my way home. It has healthy oils, healthy veggies...even the cauliflower mixed with potato is good for me. potato in general is so healthy and good for digestion. i was too tired this week partially from ****ty nutrition. so i'm at least knowing in my mind i must strive to change some things still.
but overall, i'm happy.
and when i eat avocado, things like my skin improve greatly too.
i'm happy...have a good day, all.
Progress as of today: 0.5 lbs lost so far, only 3.5 lbs to go!
I'm glad you stick with your goals, you are a true inspiration.
being in NYC, there's so many food options and light ones and ways to balance calories, with all my knowldge and the fact i live alone, it's not a problem to eat to maintain my weight...though my choices aren't the healthiest i know.
we have great indian food and the spices are strong yes, as a kid i hated strong flavors, now i love it.
my face is a mess due to hormones, the junk i've been eating, caffeine...ugh.
I liked Happy's idea of wearing headphones just so people leave you alone, LOL...
home: nothing, got up and ready in 10 min and glad i packed food last night. amazingly, i was only 4 minutes late to work. wow. bus was extra fast this AM since there was one right ahead of it it actually didn't stop at all the stops, lol...and of course the train was typical time. but i think the bus cut down on 5 minutes at least of my commute helping me this AM...lol.
coffee 50, wrap 60, half avocado 160, salami 100, garlic/pepper (no need to add more salt if i'm using salami!) 400 tops here.

5day:
2150plan is come home after class, enjoy dinner, bed early again. no extra exercise today. i was thinking to maybe jog after class, but, it's pushing it in regards to personal time i'd rather relax before bed and not be out late bc thursday is gym and a late night. friday i do plan to jog/walk after work & sunday too. that'll be good for my 2x a week cardio that i'm making sure i do each week now :)
Progress as of today: 0.5 lbs lost so far, only 3.5 lbs to go!
I had to LOL when I read your egg calorie count - because the yolk fell on the floor. Oh my how many times have I been saved extra calories because of a spill or accident like that?
and for the 1.5 hours that i sit there, the teacher is GREAT, so interesting, has so much knowledge to share, the class is somewhat like a debate class about politics and current events which is INTERESTING and good for almost anyone to be part of. Overall, the content and structure of the class is PERFECT for me. I'm glad to use my free time there. I try to participate a bit in the class...to expand my mind. I'm not a big talker, but i do speak up a little bit rather than not at all like most people. for i have a masters degree, i've been in many classes, i will use the class to my advantage - to expand my horizons and my mind! it's a gift.
it's also just a commitment, no exercise extra or anything else. but it's worth it, to attend a good class especially due to who is teaching. it's thanks to a very smart, engaging, socialable teacher. we are all lucky in this class. he's not boring.

half cup is less filling, takes up far less space for more calories...as water has been sucked out so they will be more concentrated with sugar and less filling...all dried things especially fruit is this way.
While I acknowledge what you said about dried fruit -- this is not new information to me -- when I feel like "indulging" or needing a "sweet", I confess that I grab a small piece or 2 of dried pineapple. It IS just like candy, but I have to think it's a *little* better than just straight out candy. A piece or 2, and I'm set. I LOVE dried apricots, but they are a food that I have problems eating in moderation because they are SO yummy!
250 couldn't sleep too much caffeine so ended up splurgng on whipped cream and yes i'm really bloated this AM i think due to tons of salt yesterday eve after gym...all is good everything should be more normal by Tuesday or Wednesday :)

...dinner: more Indian is what i want or ice cream? i want to cook the cauliflower fried rice...or i'll have to stick it in the freezer tonight so the riced cauliflower doesn't spoil. plan is to not do a lot tonight. perhaps sleep early. rice is prob going in freezer as i'm not in the mood to cook.
i want my typical light dinner...will buy jello and have ice cream. maybe some whipped cream also. all other meals were healthy today as well as snacks, so i'm fine.
ice cream 300, chips servings 400. 700 emotional eating.
2550, not great, not terrible!
and whipped cream 250...2800. first time in a LONG time i've had calories this high.
new day today in a new office, same job and address, different room.
3day: 2299 yucky. total emotional eating. i could do much better...this day is DONE!
___________________________________
they moved my seat at the office on friday on my day off bc higher administration wants that small office for 1 person of imporatance rather than myself and someone who's retiring in August, so i'm in a bigger room with more than 1 coworker now (4 others) and a lot more distraction and also less freedom for me personally like now when i go to lunch people know! and they know how often i get up for bathroom, etc., if i'm late...but i do right and don't take advantage so i should be OK!....and for awhile i'll prob have to watch myself on the internet again..

YES...always..just a manic monday !
haha....
i'll be happy to be back home tonight...more and more i'm starting to want to push myself after work more...once this class is done i'll be good :)
bearcountrygg on 06/11/2018:
Good eating plan...…...and the weekend that wasn't much fun….glad that is over for you....unfortunately there will be a lot of that stuff in life...especially when it comes to family expectations...as I got older.....I started sending checks instead of going....LOL
yeah, i'm not one for acting or being fake or being extra social....only with closer friends.
but i went, ate some tasty stuff despite it being stressful to eat so much and all that, it turned out well at least...and at least i went to the gym and stuck with my goal to go straight from the party which made me happy bc i was actually out of the gym around 7pm so it wasn't a late night last night...
i just didn't know many people there and the people i do know i wasn't so close with. so it's awkward....like you said.
one great thing....the bride at the bridal shower was very nice to everyone there...and she was thankful for me being there...she actually thanked me. great personality she has...and for that, i'm thankful i went bc she was so appreciative and spoke to everyone there. now that's a happy lady.
Donkey on 06/11/2018:
I'm glad to hear that you got your run in over the weekend. If your Monday was anything like mine, take tonight off to just chill --- maybe sleep early. Ahh, there's an idea I think I'll take my own advice on ;-)
