----------------------
I may need to start eating a little bit healthier for my snacks, but, we'll see. Today I haven't been satisfied particularly bc we went out to exercise right after I ate lunch and then i came back shortly after and had snacks .... so all my eating was sorta messed up and also breakfast was a lot of calories compared to how I usually would eat while working / all at once and not as snacks, etc.
i have a lot of eggs at home so one or both meals may include them :)
I should bike ride .....did a short half hour with ricky then it got too windy so I decided not to go out on my own to do more ...Ricky fixed his bike before we went riding :-)
also did my legs strength exercises this AM before going out :-)
Another beautiful day here starting at 70F and dropping to 60F by 5pm !!!! So I should get outside early maybe bike ride ? I have to do it by myself since Rickys bike is broken....?

Progress as of today: -3 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
It looks like a well done day, with respect to your menu. I realized after reading one of your comments to me, that I eat differently during the work week than I do when I'm off. I think I eat more at work.

Edit: sister cooked a banana bread for me to share so I drove back today to go pick it up from them and afterwards since it was a good time to go (dinner time) I went to supermarket that's by them with a great selection of "essentials" like kombucha, yogurt, blueberries and ice cream and seltzer lol. And spiked seltzer. Total waste but makes me happy. I guess I didn't "stay out" of the supermarket as planned 1.5 weeks ago!
its a rainy day today so I will prob stay home and do some cooking of the other meal that I ordered which is chicken, roasted sweet potatoes and broccoli too :)
im very into the book I picked out - sense and sensibility - and it's moving a long fast as I have it on audible as I follow along with reading the words! This can make a person faster at reading I think! Next book I will do the same way, for now.
legs and upper were dong yesterday so today is just a small bit of cardio :-) somebike and some stepper.
Progress as of today: -3 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
And while some may criticize, I think it's important to try to keep as much "normalcy" to one's life if one can. For example, almonds are not "essential" but they are part of my routine. I would not go to the store for JUST almonds, but when I do finally venture out, it's on my list.
What did you think of the spiked seltzer? Does it taste differently than non-alcoholic seltzers? I presume they are flavored (but not sweet).
I thought you had picked out Pride and Prejudice. Did I miss something??
Perhaps the ice cream didn't live up to expectations because of the seltzer? I find that some combos are less successful than if consumed individually.
I might try your "read along" technique with other books I've wanted to read but just couldn't get into. War & Peace perhaps?
It’s nice having these snack foods helping me just maintain my weight as best I can :) I am lucky to live in a big city and also afford these types of treats !
Yes the spiked seltzer isn’t very sweet at all! I sweeten it with some drops of stevia
The ice cream is slightly higher calorie than most of the halo top flavors And it doesn’t add anything ! It’s called a Keto variety and flavor is “chocolate cheesecake” except it’s mostly very boring chocolate with hardly any cheesecake clumps at all! Terrible ! Prob worse b CB I had it after the Seltzer lol ...
I def need to do more “read alongs” and I still look up vocab and pause it as necessary :)
Breakfast - back to my gummy habit 100, cold oats with almond milk 200, craisins 150, iced coffee 50.
12:30 snack while in the midst of doing laundry :) almost done now it's in the dryer sour gummies 200
2:30 chocolate and leg work 100 and kombucha 50
3:30 meal chips 250? 2 turkey meatballs 100? Gummies lol 100
did upper body, doing a little home cardio
6:30 dinner salad and dressing 150, half veggie burger 60 with 2 last turkey meatballs 100 on a wrap 150...z450, one more plain wrap 150
9pm chocolate 100
2000.
------------------
edit - bath mats and the sheet I forgot to wash are already in the dryer ! I'm so glad I did more laundry today and now everything is clean again! Boy does the laundry just keep piling up lol a week passes before we know it !
decided to do a more thorough wash this week including my comforter cover and couch throw blanket :). Washed everything except my bath mats which I'll do soon either this week again or just with next week's laundry! Guinea pig cage is clean again :)
my butt is stil sore from some of exercise of I think the stepper four days ago?! So I'm undecided If I will do leg strengthening today. I do have my upper body workout for today which I will do during the court tv shows.
im making progress on the book I'm "reading" with audible and looking at the text. Amazing. The book is passing faster than if I were to read it as the pace of the audible is pretty swift! I'm enjoying getting thru a book faster than if I were to read it myself! I think I'll do audible again following this book and a chapter of the project management textbook. I also need to start memorizing the other small pile of legal terms .... I'm debating watching some things online about stock trading.
possibly home all day today bc of weather. Maybe a short walk with Ricky at 5.
Progress as of today: -3 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
The butt pain is probably from my less than healthy laying on the couch all day making it worse :/
Luckily yesterday’s soreness is mostly gone - I do think it was from the stepper.
But this sciatica I hope will improve soon - it usually does and this is one of the worst instances of it that I’ve had
Also helpful, for me in dealing with sciatica, is to not stay in any one position or activity for too long. So if you're sitting, get up and walk around or stretch or lie down. If you're walking, stop and sit for a bit. And so on...
Just some friendly suggestions :-)
Breakfast last of the addictive gummy vitamins by Alive, oatmeal and almond milk with craisins 350, iced coffee 50
snack chocolate 100
lunch McDonald's small fries and nuggets 550....before walk
4pm small orange and sour gummies 150, more sour gummies 100
6pm dinner 150, mashed cauliflower 50, chicken nuggets got moist :( but ate them 200. 450 tops
light snack 9pm - not a very good microwave brownie cup keto but a poor taste to which I added some sugar free chocolate chips 250, and a yogurt 150.
2150 tops....
I was going to start a lower body workout but my butt was rather sore so I stopped. I don't like to work sore muscles so I'll do it when I'm feeling better. I think my butt is sore from a step workout I did the other day. I did stepper Sunday but I could be sore from it - hoping it goes away along with the rest of my sciatica which has been unusually bothersome this month.
walked Over 3mi at park not crowded. Quickly visited parents maintaining distance and wearing mask - they gave me some meatballs and brisket
Got all my amazon deliveries and ....gummies ! Today ! The chews are so bad (their latest product that I haven't finished yet)
bought more chicken nuggets to have with dinner tonight from McDonald's when near my place bc I told Ricky I'd also bring him some McDonalds (yes two trips to McDonald's in one day!)
Progress as of today: -3 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!

around 2200 including hour walk and weights
today is weights upper body and reading of my audio novel.
will go walking with ricky at 5 and also first make a quick video FaceTime call to a "friend" and her kids bc I had texted to wish my sympathies to her deceased grandfather and next text I get following says her kids like to FaceTime so I figured I would have to "produce" one FaceTime chat that I scheduled for today (don't really want to, but don't want to decline her desire). Not close with her anymore. So I figure I'll do it outside with ricky right before our walk and get off the phone quick!
i have therapist tonight at 8.
i have leftovers to eat from yesterday. So no need to cook anything beyond an egg or two. Glad I have some chicken in the freezer but also realize I have tuna packets so I'm not as low on protein as I think I am and don't need a supermarket :)
last night did a FaceTime chat thru Facebook and one of the four people didn't like we were taking photos of everyone during the chat! I would say that it's our phone and really up to us what we do even if it's her wish we don't. That's my take. However if she doesn't want us to post them, then of course I wouldn't. I get annoyed though when trying to have fun and relax with friends this one friend makes it all stuffy and up tight bc she is so self conscious...it annoys me bc even in my friendship with her, it means I have to work to watch what I say and how I act bc she is so easily bothered. I cannot take lots of photos with her and post on Facebook and she takes so much I say the wrong way. Obviously I shouldn't let her reactions get to me but I do bc she's a closer friend and sometimes her actions make me feel responsible for something negative that happens. It makes me not want to video chat with her again with this group only to have something else Negative occur on the next chat. Ah whatever it's not a big deal but just strange I have to write this. Sometimes I just she could relax more. so she said "you have to ask me to take photos" or you have to let me know if you take a photo and she doesn't have the app on her phone to see how easy it is to snap one and I didn't even know I was snapping my first one till I experimented with the chat buttons on my phone... it's just like I can't stand it with these extra rules and regulations. I get her, I understand her, but really ?! honestly lately when I chat with her she doesn't mean to but I am talking even on the phone and she just answers rudely sometimes and I don't think I do it to her but then again I'm not listening to the phone call unbiased so who knows. Makes me want to talk to her less overall.
also my parents and sister have warned me not to text my sister at all from 7-9pm everyday and also after lunch or before lunch they haven't specified the time there so I don't wake the baby .... can't she just put her darn phone on silent ? It took them all the way until this week to actually let me know the hours not to text instead of texting me back with "don't text me" without any polite way of saying it. I guess I take offense to little things. Or "stop texting". It's good she finally said the hours 7-9 and she should have done it sooner.
all I know Is every phone has silence and when I mentioned that to my family, I got a whole angry father telling me just to listen lol
it's like can't we all just relax!
Progress as of today: -3 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
Regarding your friend with the restrictive social media "rules" -- I get where she's coming from, too, but that's way too complicated for me. When things get complicated like that, I just pull back. (I think that's one reason why I don't talk to my mom much... and why I'm avoiding visiting my brother, too.)
I can understand why your sister doesn't want to put her phone in silent, but how are you supposed to know not to text during certain times unless someone tells you? Now you know, now you'll do better.
Breakfast cold oatmeal with almond milk 200, craisins still have a bit of them left in the bag for future meals lol 150, iced coffee 50, dbl vitamins because they taste so darn good 50.
Snacks while walking chocolate 200
1:30 lunch fried eggs 200 over ramen 200 dried jackfruit 100, 4 clementines 150
6pm dinner bean and chard stew 250? And smaller prices of garlic bread with Parmesan 300 garlic and butter oil ..600 tops
9pm snacks granola bar and a yogurt 250
2150 total, fine
edit - after dropping off bedding I was dressed warm and drove to a park which wasn't crowded and walked :) I did skip legs today. Talked on phone a lot and cooked .... now will listen to my audio book :) overall today was a change of pace !
-----------------------------------
soon after breakfast going out for a short drive to deliver free leftover hamster bedding (haven't had hamster for 6 months about) to someone I said I'd bring it to on Facebook marketplace- I want to drive as I don't drive too often and it's very local - next couple towns away.
did weights last night and also last night did stepper for 28 minutes and then decided it was enough before any discomfort in ankles starts :)
it's cold and not sunny today so besides the drive I'll be staying indoors all day.
i will cook the bean stew and also I may cook up other veggies so they don't spoil and I have them on hand for the week. Even if the veggies were for the other meal, I may just cook all of them.
I have a book to read instead of textbook, but, maybe I'll actually do both - we'll see. The book is Pride and Prejudice a famous classic I never read. I got it both visual/audio and al thinking to just read along with the audio - takes around 6 hours which means I'd finish the book ina week or so. Maybe far less.
I did stepper yesterday and might repeat it today. I also want to do bike. But most of all, I will get in some leg strength exercises today - this is what I want to do most as strength work builds muscle and therefore creates shape and look :) and I do care about that :)
Progress as of today: -3 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
I loved reading Jane Austen, although I can't remember if I read Pride and Prejudice. I think not, since I usually try to read a famous author's lesser known books. I believe I read Sense and Sensibility, and LOVED it! Also read Persuasion, and loved it! That's a keen idea to read along with the audio book!
Yes I like to structure things so it’s easy to get a couple things accomplished by placing them one after the other in the day’s activities:)
Rainy day today so I'll stay inside plus I have my weights to do - almost forgot !
breakfast cold oats with almond milk 200 and craisins 150 (old bag craisins I went to finish still tasty !) coffee 50 chocolate 100 later kombucha 60

hormones have been on HIGH the past few days leading up to you know what....this month has a bit of pain in my right thigh and when sleeping but nothing too bad. can't wait till this passes (very soon!) till next time LOL.
Progress as of today: -3 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
I'm all caught up on laundry, too! (unless I decide to do a load for daughter, today) Isn't that a wonderful feeling?
I think you and I have switched weathers. Yesterday was gray & rainy; today is sunny and "warm" (warmer).
I may watch / pay for a class in stock/ trading starting maybe in a week - I have to research !
Yes glad you got some nice weather - Tuesday will be our one beautiful weather day for next week at 63F and sunny :)
Clean laundry is simply wonderful :) it’s like we are free from prison of having to think about when we need to do it for a few days !
Breakfast craisins and oatmeal with almond milk 350 iced coffee 50, chocolate 100

---------------------------
bad thigh and butt pain today - hormones
Today my plan is cardio, go with ricky fishing but not fish myself just to relax outside, read textbook, put laundry away, possibly choose a new story to read - walked a lot today around one hour
I'll be getting my food delivery today as well as another packsge from eBay :) I think some of the masks I ordered :-)
supposedly going outside and driving somewhere with ricky today. Things have been very testy with him for the past half a week so I'm not really looking forward to seeing him as much as I'm looking forward to being in the sunshine at 60f. I just realized he wants to fish so I hope it's not colder wherever he wants to go - I figure I can walk around neighborhood later if I'm not exactly walking while he fishes - maybe I'll start a new novel since I am almost done with this chapter of the textbook and yes I read this textbook really slowly
Progress as of today: -3 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
It seems to me that everyone is a little more testy these days...

Yum, banana bread!
So glad we are still able to get outside and spend some time in the sun!
Yes the sun has been fantastic I Def got some color on my face ! (Not that my face really needs so much sun ?!)
Donkey on 05/05/2020:
I'm surprised to read that you felt like you almost blew it (eating wise) yesterday. It seems to me like you did well. Perhaps it was your dinner choices that "saved" the day.
Plus you had done exercise... and you've been eating a little less lately. So having a higher day mixes things up.
Well done!
I’m eating too many empty calories lately especially with all the gummies it’s hard for me to want to change the pattern. At least they aren’t many calories anyways but I’m also being excessive with breakfast calories ..... anyways it’s important I get in some nutrition and be actually satisfied for more than 2 hours ! I did better today with a good lunch and dinner.
Yes dinner saved me yesterday.
It’s good I got some healthy meat and protein in at dinner time along with veggies :-)
Thanks for your comments !
