___________________________________
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..

_________________________
got up late
organized apt a bit
doing laundry
writing to you all...and watching some tv
going out to bike & walk jog after my laundry is done...
(i might cook cauliflower fried rice as i just bought the cauliflower rice and a bag of frozen peas and carrots yesterday on my way home :) and i believe i have everything else i need like soy sauce...i once made it but just the cauliflower and it didn't turn out great so this time i want to make it right!) if i don't cook it today, it will happen sooner or later!
and then off to the event tonight for my dad...i may drive to my parents so i can go with them to the event, but we'll see. it's extra driving - maybe it could be good to show up with them, i haven't made up my mind just yet.
glad i'm home bc my hormones are whacky and i've been using the bathroom all morning / afternoon.
Progress as of today: 0.5 lbs lost so far, only 3.5 lbs to go!
i wish i had someone to bring / show up with :/ parents offered i go with them, but it's just extra driving to them first.
I need to be spending more time in the bathroom... if you know what I mean. I need to try to make that "cauliflower rice"... Just don't have the time to focus on that right now.
Oatmeal and coffee just like yesterday. 450
snack: peanuts 200
Lunch: veggies 50, egg/white 100, 1/2 avocado on matzah cracker 250 with salt/pepper, apple? 100 500.
snacks: clementines 30 and choc covered pomegranates 100 (tired day...and i think hormones are starting to call my name - things starting to move i think in my abs due to period coming oh yay lol)
Before gym: not sure, just tired and can't wait to get gym outta the way and sleep in tomorrow. sandwiches before and after gym, 350 each. so 700. too much caffeine but it thankfully wore off as the workout progressed. the start was bad bc i had to keep resting as the caffeine was too much. this is basically why i stopped the energy drinks mostly...but tonight i had bc i knew i had off tomorrow and i had an extra late night workout till 9:30pm.
2000 total.
good night everyone. hoping to sleep quite a bit tomorrow.
2090 6 day.
_____________________________________________________________
Tonight is gym. Looking forward to keeping my progress steady.
Tomorrow will be jogging at nearby park. and sleeping in and laundry.
SUNDAY ADVENTURE:
THIS WILL BE SUNDAY morning instead of tomorrow bc i'm really tired and will enjoy SLEEPING in tomorrow and not getting up till i feel like it! I'm taking off tomorrow but it's supposed to rain and i signed up for a tour of central park for two hours walking.
i may cancel that and reschedule and just sleep in as lately i'm struggling to get up and also sleeping less...so sleeping in would be very nice! But i'll try to keep it scheduled for tomorrow morning, the tour. My phone says thunderstorms whch may not be all day - i think it's important to be active so i'll keep checking my phone ot see hourly forecast for friday morning. To be at the tour at 10, i have to leave my place around 8am so it's still a sorta early wakeup..i can always come home and take a nap before the event, maybe! like i said, i most probably will do the healthy walking tour, as long as the rain doesn't look too bad.
Later on, I have an event around 45 min away Friday night that i DO have to dress up for - a dinner dance. My dad is being honored, the reason i am attending. That's the major reason for me taking Friday off as I was NOT keen on working a full day 8-4:30, going home and getting there around 6pm, quickly prepping, and heading out to a party that starts at 7:30. It's funny how i'm fine to do it with the gym...but...that doesn't involve me looking my "best."
Progress as of today: 0.5 lbs lost so far, only 3.5 lbs to go!
kombucha 150
oatmeal and coffee same as yesterday 450
peanuts 200
lunch from home egg/whites 80, 1/2 avocado on matzah 280, green pepper 25
snack couple clementines
later before class a granola bar 200 with water..very late to class i should miss half, i'm not really even upset at myself with it. i just don't care right now bc it's not that important to me - i'll say i had to stay at work & that i'll try to do better the remaining sessions. it's a free course and you just need to show up...usually i care more, right now, i'm just trying to get it done any way possible. i know, not the best example i'm setting.
i just couldn't get out of my apartment any earlier, wanted to use the bathroom and didn't care about leaving earlier if i couldn't do that. there was traffic heading home yesterday and i got to the the gym pretty late and i was home late around 9pm...so being off Friday to do anything but work is a great thing...i am going to Central Park on a 2hr Secrets of the Park walking tour that i got half price...
...lately, i find it important to fit movement in when possible more than my regular. really trying here and just wanted to get that course out of the way...so that if i'm chosen for jury duty and i'm actually chosen to go a few days, i can be paid at 80% of my salary instead of the typical $40 a day....that's what this course gives me entitlement towards. It's 5 weeks, Wednesdays 5-7pm. Tonight i hope to get there by 5:45. TEACHER WAS FABULOUS, FUNNY, KEEPS THE MOMENTUM...HAPPY. I SHOULD GET THERE ON TIME FOR THE 4 REMAINING CLASSES JUST BECAUSE I OWE IT TO THE TEACHER AND OTHER STUDENTS IN THE CLASS. HE MADE ME LAUGH AND I REALLY LOVE THE CONTENT. IT'S A GREAT CLASS.
Lighter dinner: 350, 260 it was a few sf jello 50, a wrap with chicken deli meat, some extra salt and pepper and garlic, and mashed avocado spread 300, followed by whipped cream with light ice cream. tasty. glad at least i'm eating avocado lately which is one of the best things i consume.
________________________________________
early to bed after class (which i'm missing half of....but it's not a test kinda class and last class i never missed any days or was late...so....i'm late today. so be it!) glad i took off Friday of this week...despite having Monday off I feel like i'm just boucing off the walls activity to activity!
________________________________
i'll be late to class bc i didn't come early to work bc i was drinking kombucha bc i really wanted to use the bathroom this AM and did, but left half hour later than planned, still on time to work, just not early as i meant to be half hour early...anyways, moving on
Progress as of today: 0.5 lbs lost so far, only 3.5 lbs to go!

___________________________
Late by over 20 min to work bc a friend told me about train delays and i ended up "delaying myself" getting out of bed lol. the train delays pretty much cleared up by my usual time and i could have gotten here on time had he not told me about the delays lol....but this is all my fault being late today! for sure! i'll have to stay late but no worries, i took a vacation day Friday since i have an event to go to that evening and it's a drive so i decided i would make it so that i can sleep in Friday :) ....moving on !!

___________________________________________________________
Time for a movie soon...i'll check later which one i borrowed from the library - oh, i rented a whole series of tv shows called Mike and Molly - so funny...happy to sit home, watch TV for late morning and early afternoon after a very eventful weekend i'm looking for a relaxed day here.
I event went for a complete food shopping trip on the way home yesterday after i dropped off my friend bc the supermarkets are HUGE on long island with everything i could need, so i bought extras of things so i will not have to buy eggs any time in the near future, or almond milk, they even had my kombucha in the supermarket....so i bought lots of things that last in the fridge as well as sale items like tuna so that i can avoid some shopping in the next couple months for those items! :)
happy, getting laundry out of the way now done by noon and then watching a movie before heading out for a little bit for some cardio :) i haven't decided where to do the cardio but thinking to drive to my old favorite park which will def be open today. i was thinking to go to a nearby local track at a college but they sometimes close gates to the entryways on holidays like this one.
Progress as of today: 0.5 lbs lost so far, only 3.5 lbs to go!
Today is in an interesting day :)
Plans are to clean my hamster cage before driving out east. trying to at least get something done so everything isn't left for tomorrow!
Picking up a few $1 lotto tickets to put in the bday card. just giving a card to be thoughtful, don't have extra money to spend as it costs money to drive out east and perhaps we are paying for her brunch. i don't think everyone will even give a card.
I DO look forward to seeing friends some i haven't seen since late fall! I look forward to hopefully taking some nice photos with everyone and to chatting. I don't look as forward to the long drive lol, 2hrs each way.
Laundry tomorrow.
__________________________________________________________________________
Kombucha 50, wrap 130 with avocado 170, salami 100, seasonings including garlic home my breath doesn't bother too many people lol. 2 cups cashew milk 50 with cinnamon and stevia
500 :)
Brunch: plan is to take one plate, no seconds. And to enjoy up to like 3 cups coffee, 1-2 regular, the rest decaf. I don't want to overeat even though it's a buffet. sick of that. sick of needing to watch calories in the days after....so i'll just take one plate and enjoy what i take. i don't think i need to consume more than one plate full of food.
Bacon 100, seafood 100, roasted potatoes 300, several cups sautéed veggies 250-300, coffee 50, dessert 200? Small bit, tastes of wine 100, oh and a Bellini 150 some candies 150 1450....
And ice cream back at home :)400, oh small bag chips 100
2450 decent :)
2day 2300 :) okay !
__________________________________________________________________________
Driving out 2 hours for a brunch at noon so leaving around 10am and picking up a friend along the way, driving east to almost the end of Long Island but not totally the end to a town called Calverton for a tasty brunch (inside since it's raining) on the water. It's for a friend's 33rd bday. I am not happy about such a long drive, but it's not my bday! Also, i tried to see if anyone wanted to do anything more active after - go to an acquarium, go to outlets, visit the military cemetary (yes, i'd do it if it was my bday, but nobody seems happy about that idea and it's raining anyway so no good), or even go to the HUGE outlet mall. Bday girl didn't want to decide. I wasn't as eager to go to a winery (there's tons) after eating just do to calories and more sitting...but...if they go, my friend who's driving with me and I would go for ONE drink....but then i'm scooting out. Enough sitting and eating when there's more to do out east!
Also, a couple who is married who tends to stay with their parents who live out east are the ones who suggested the brunch bc they enjoy brunches out east in general. They also will only have at most a 30min maybe even far less of a drive than that. So, the bday girl thought their idea was good but i think it's truly only accomodating to them and that it was wrong to suggest a place so far for everyone on a holiday weekend when there can be TONS of traffic. Luckily, we're blessed with colder weather and rain which means less traffic out east to the beaches at least.
So this couple, i have a feeling they'll invite people over there house after the brunch and i have spoken to the woman driving out with me about that. we both decided that we aren't interested ot drive SO FAR to have a brunch followed by just going back to someone's house. We'd rather do an activity - the outlets - than just sit around with the same people we were just sitting with ... and then do a sitting 2hr drive home. if poeple go to a winery, we decided we'd go, but then scooting out would be better than sitting in a house for a couple hours, just to sit for a drive 2hrs back. I thought it was actually very unaccomodating for them to suggest brunch out east so far, but despiete what i think, many people are supposely coming to her party...
I have realized part of my issue was that i'm sitting all week and it's hard for me to want to do activities when i'm not working that include so much sitting and little activity. So really it's my preference which doesn't match that of the rest of the group, but, the good thing is that i'm going to the brunch and winery if they go...and that's more than enough commitment out east! :)
Progress as of today: 0.5 lbs lost so far, only 3.5 lbs to go!
i also desparately tried to watch my food intake at the brunch which i did pretty well and all in moderation bc lately all Spring i've gone to quite a few brunches and constantly regret overeating for the rest of the week trying to balance it. Yesterday, i can say at least i tried hard and learned from past mistakes. The plates were huge and i actually only took one plate and most of it was vegetables thnakfully the selection was VERY good. nice to do something different...and winery was ok still...no outlets...and i was even able to go food shopping yesterday which has led to a very relaxing day today which i am happy about!
for me when i eat totally crazy amounts of calories, it becomes stressful knowing that i am causing weight gain and that it'll be difficult to balance out...so i really try to always keep cals near my typical amounts when away, but if i stray a little, it's still not so terrible as if i just went to town on everything fried, a thousand desserts, etc :) i try to always stick to my typical ways of eating and luckily the buffet had a huge dish of sauteed veggies so i was saved..
Fiber 1 cookie around 9pm when I work up since I fell asleep very early around 6:30 after eating a bit too much and skipped gym - I may have been also tired anyways. I am Not upset And will try to make it to gym tonight. 120
9:30am oatmeal 150, protein powder 100, oil and some cocoa powder 100, almond milk 20, stevia 370
Light lunch: grilled jumbo shrimp 200, cucumber tomato salad 100, diet pepsi, bite of friend's chocolate brownie 50
Afternoon Snacks before gym:
1. big iced coffee and chococlate rice krispie treat 250
2. Whipped cream and a little more caffeine bc feeling so tired after a busy, eventful, hot summer-like day outsideand eventful as well as even productive i guess i can say! (90 degrees). 200
Banana at gym 120 1420 ...
2150 (maybe more but sorta doubt it!)
After gym dinner: planning on REAL food leftovers :) of Indian food 300-350 at leastvery oily but healthy veggies, last of my turkey burgers 200, popcorn200,
Visited a fishing hatchery where we caught some trout and my friend took them home to clean and prepare later in weekend, then had a tasty lunch, then drove to garders to walk around, then couple errands before home to rest a little bit before heading back out to gym tonight so i can say i did 3 sessions this week :) wahoo. it's been a WONDERFUL weekend.
Progress as of today: 0.5 lbs lost so far, only 3.5 lbs to go!
Sounds like a lovely day! And well done eating-wise as well -- double win :-)
It was a great day, overall.

Makes Monday especially hard when you can't sleep the night before....hope you can make up for it tonight.
yes, that's my plan :) at least my gym session was amazing bc caffeine (extra) really does give you wings! but too much also caused acne once again...
no worries :) they are my own choices!
Donkey on 06/04/2018:
I hate it when people at work make big changes to my stuff when I'm out. You're taking this quite well.
