6day avg is decent: 2150 per day :) very good. I can try to lower the avg by eating less FRIDAY which would be SMART.
Home: kombucha 50
8:30am Breakfast: coffee 50, banana 120, coconut wrap 80 with honey 30 and pb 150:
10am "Fig Bar" one piece in blueberry flavor 110 (i think increasing my carbs is sorta not a bad thing...except for slightly increased hunger).
11:30am peanuts 100...lunch will come late today - Indian I ordered, but i also still have Indian leftovers lol...so much food still. don't need to get too much on weekend plus last week i did buy too much!
Lunch was also a splurge: tuna 70, fried things 400 at least, 150 naan, 200 saag approx 800 and cake 100. for my good friend Jen's bday...the Vegas girlie!
3:45pm Snack:plum (yeah eating too much lately).
4:45 brown sugar cinnamon pastry crisps 100 before doing nails...eating so much today but can't get off it without just starving a few hours and i do not want to.
Dinner: thinking this shepherd's pie i have (microwavalbe) and a drink. really tired. bed early......tired from sitting lol but happy i have NO WORK at all.
Will try to tame appetite not to eat more than 2200 today lol...worked out:
total approx 2200-2250, good.
I got nails off, took 1.5 HOURS of sitting there. left at 7pm, home at 7:30pm! so late lol...
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Doing nails (getting them off) after work today...hopefully as quickly as possible! Absolutely took WAYYYYY TOOOO LONG! Smart to have left my car in work lot, though. i got out at 5pm from work and didn't leave the neighborhood until 7pm. just wow.
also, i had 8oz of an 8% alcohol margarita (in a can) last night and it really helped me sleep...is this bad? to enjoy 1 alcohol drink most nights? i sorta like trying them all out right now....never did except for now (this year). this year i have tasted some varieties of beer also. nice to try new things, sorry Donkey i know you don't appreciate me writing this, but i doubt i'd become alcoholic bc i don't want to drink more than a cup. also it makes it easier for me to go out and drink one. and just to want one also when out - knowing i have more at home and that it's not considered "a bad treat" for me...i'm trying to be moderate with it so that i can drink and not overdrink....
Last night I jogged / walked 1.75 mi which is enough...i'm not in this for distance right now, just for sticking to my goal of getting to the university, parking there, jogging what i feel i want to - when daylight savings time sets in, the ENTIRE jog will be in the dark on the track. Even now, starting around 5:50 and ending around 6:30 in my car, it was fully dark. This is what it'll take if i want to train on the track (i prefer the track to a treadmill)....so that's why it was worth buying a sticker for my car to park at the school :) the less time at the dark track, the better. I can also try to jog once on weekends, so i only have to go 1x in dark during the week - so i might wait till Saturday to jog again...but then again, i might just go and do it Friday after work LOL....choices!
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
5-day: 2130 per day, decent.

___________________________________________________________________
Tonight is gym and i counted my sunday workout also for this week's gym so that makes 2x and i can forget about gym until the weekend, good. that's good because i didn't get a chance to run last night. It took awhile for me to get the parking pass for Queens College and by the time I got home to change, i didn't want to leave my place again after 6pm to get to the track around 6:30 and run in dark and eat late and bed late...so it's rescheduled for Wednesday eve since today & tonight the weather forecast is rain.
At least i now have a parking pass which is WONDERFUL as i will not be struggling to find spots in the community and it seems there's always some spots at the college lot beside the track - so although it took time last night to get the sticker for my car paid for & squared away, i'm not set up very conveniently for less time to be wasted for my jogging trainng for the rest of this fall season!
I RAN OUT OF TIME LAST NIGHT (MONDAY) AND WASN'T ABLE TO DO THE JOG - AFTER SIGNING UP FOR THE PARKING PASS, I GOT HOME AROUND 6PM AND IT WAS ALREADY GETTING DARK. I STILL HAD TO CHANGE & THEN I'D DRIVE BACK ( I WOULDN'T GET TO THE TRACK BEFORE 6:30PM AND NOT HOME TILL AFTER 7PM AND REALLY DIDN'T WANT THAT) AND HAVE TO RUN IN THE DARK AND EAT LATE - I DECIDED TO GO TO BED MONDAY EARLY, NOT JOG, DO GYM AGAIN TUESDAY BECAUSE IT'S RAINING TUESDAY AND I CANNOT JOG AT THE TRACK IN THE RAIN (THAT'LL BE 2X THIS WEEK ALREADY GETTING THE GYM IN AND THEN I CAN JUST CONCENTRATE ON MY JOG.), THEN DRIVE BACK WITH NOW MY GOOD PARKING STICKER TO PARK IN THE COLLEGE AND START MY JOGGING ON WEDNESDAY (STILL 2.5 WEEKS ONLY OF REST, GOOD.)
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
Home: kombucha did the trick and so good 70
Breakfast: wrap 100, pb 200, banana 120, coffee 50: 470
snack: blueberry cake...amazing!!!! 150? really fresh from upstate PA i think coworker was there in weekend and bought it on his way home...extremely fresh and moist!
Noon early lunch: healthy things....mostly food from my Indian coworker's wife! so nice of her the one's i walked with upstate with on Saturday!
4pm snack: apple 100
before jog: 1/2 protein cookie and water with stevia...then buying a parking pass so i can park inside the college that i like to jog on the track of...instead of look for parking on the extremely crowded street surrounding it...so i can start the jog fast instead of worrying about parking after work...it's a good deal and will save approx. 20 minutes of annoyance during my weekday jogs. 200
dinner: not sure, maybe seaweed salad and an egg or two. or something microwavable?not sure. maybe a protien muffin - have a few left and they are probiotic...yeah prob a muffin with a scoop or two of ice cream! (LOW CAL EVERYTHING). it'll be around 400 cal i think
2100. is Monday's total. decent!
________________________________________________
Today will be my first Jogging day since before my Vegas trip (around 2.5 weeks i think). good. Looking forward. I RAN OUT OF TIME LAST NIGHT (MONDAY) AND WASN'T ABLE TO DO THE JOG - AFTER SIGNING UP FOR THE PARKING PASS, I GOT HOME AROUND 6PM AND IT WAS ALREADY GETTING DARK. I STILL HAD TO CHANGE & THEN I'D DRIVE BACK ( I WOULDN'T GET TO THE TRACK BEFORE 6:30PM AND NOT HOME TILL AFTER 7PM AND REALLY DIDN'T WANT THAT) AND HAVE TO RUN IN THE DARK AND EAT LATE - I DECIDED TO GO TO BED MONDAY EARLY, NOT JOG, DO GYM AGAIN TUESDAY BECAUSE IT'S RAINING TUESDAY AND I CANNOT JOG AT THE TRACK IN THE RAIN (THAT'LL BE 2X THIS WEEK ALREADY GETTING THE GYM IN AND THEN I CAN JUST CONCENTRATE ON MY JOG.), THEN DRIVE BACK WITH NOW MY GOOD PARKING STICKER TO PARK IN THE COLLEGE AND START MY JOGGING ON WEDNESDAY (STILL 2.5 WEEKS ONLY OF REST, GOOD.)
I'll buy a college parking pass so i no longer have to look for parking at night when i go to jog at the track :)...no need to waste time looking for a spot now...especially as it gets dark faster as well as colder...now i can drive right there & park right away at the track.
Today will be a simple day. Skipping the funeral below bc i have other personal reasons to take off from work down the road....i can't take off for a professor from 15 years ago. oh well..not a good reason and i'm not mentioning to my boss. no need. i have an academy to get into. that's enough right now!
Tomorrow i have a funeral to attend for a sorta young guy around early 70's i think. so sad. he was one of my mentors and one of my nicest, genuine, favorite professors at Hofstra University. He was also the head of the entire Music Dept there. The funeral is not very far and happens to be during the workday...so i'll just go :) My boss will not give me a hard time, no. I may as well go now that work isn't rough and that i can attend and hear the thoughtful things people will say about him...
funeral is being held approx 45min away from work so it's not very far. and during work hours makes me more eager to go, actually. i was going to sleep over my parent's house thinking the funeral was at night, but then reread the info, and was sorta put at ease seeing the funeral is to be at 2pm and not like 5pm or 6pm.
...after funeral i plan to just come home bc i already have tons of food and stuff and shouldn't shop (cool prepared food stores by the funeral, but i do not need to waste money bc i have food at home!)....just going to be there for this man who died too young and who give his heart to me and so many students at Hofstra in the Music Dept.

Reading at lunch today.
Easy day today with no errands - reading and/or early to bed tonight.
Tomorrow taking a 2-hr trip to walk the Hudson River over a footbridge with coworker and his wife and i'm bringing Ricky.
Tomorrow night I may sleep over Ricky's place (1st time) along with also a movie and dinner at his place.
No plans except laundry and gym for Sunday.
I even have enough food to last thru the weekend into Monday / Tuesday...so i am limiting my sunday obligations so i do not end up skipping out on gym. I'll run for the FIRST time since before I went to Vegas on Monday after work. The last time I ran before this time was I think October 8th. I think, anyways. So, it will be another approx 2 week break since then for me. But now, I'm back to normal after this weekend!
Normal Gym and Jog schedule for last 2 weeks October thru December leading into academy but careful never to overdo.
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
That 2 hour walk sounds fabulous, and so does the dinner and a movie at Ricky's :) So glad you found someone who seems so easy to be around...those are the keepers.
Nice balance on gym and jog! Keep it up!
He's so good to me, I love it.

In the afternoon, i submitted the rest of the forms they emailed me back in the morning. I guess I'm going into the NYPD in January!!!!!!!! It's not a done deal, but closing up on one now.
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!

_____________________________________
No more exercise / gym until Thursday - glad i did it last night.
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
also, i do not really like the belvita crackers. they are also high calorie snack at almost 250 calories just for sugar and hardly any fat and no protein.
lately i crave sugar bc life is quite exciting and all the commotion is making me crave fast energy. that's why i ate them yesterday in the morning - same reason i had a chocolate bar today.
on a typical day, i'd stay away from them bc i can have a granola bar for 100-150 cal instead of a package of belvita which is double the calories = double the points (on WW)!

Donkey doesn't mind! I like seeing pictures and reading recipes for fancy drinks with alcohol. Beer & wine okay too!
For me, to stop drinking was a personal choice for myself, and myself alone. It doesn't bother me to be around alcohol at all. I just don't partake. Most times, it's easy, sometimes it's a little more difficult, but it's a commitment I've made to myself, at least for now, with no immediate plans to change that.
So no need to apologize, at least, to me! :-)
