______________________________________________
Going to gym tonight bc tomorrow is probably a snow day and then i can be home all day tomorrow resting again. there are chances that work is closed tomorrow, so i'll make the effort to work out tonight in hopes that tomorrow is a snow day at home and i can rest more then..

Snack: clementine 50
1300….more sushi tonight and miso soup. 550 more but had a more unhealthy type of roll...shrimp tempura (fried shrimp) with avocado sushi 550-650. is still quite all right. better off eating a little bit more while having a cold anyways.
grand total today is 2050.
Happy New Year DD friends !!!! Thank you Webmaster ! Isn't it wonderful how many people are using this site after it's been down like a couple weeks!? We love it!
3day average: (def high for not exercising): 2250, but still within decent limits. really i should go to gym tomorrow, but, i realize i can't if i am still with this cold - which i will be. i guess i'll just have to wait until i'm better - rule of thumb is you have to be well below the neck to gym to gym....and my cough is below the neck in my lungs obviously. ah, we'll see. just too lazy to cook today like i had planned.
2018 New Years Day:
total today is 2100...been eating more, especially due to the fact i was taking an online course throughout the 3day weekend and not exercising. i've run outta steam and do not plan to even cook today like i had planned. instead, taking nighttime cold medicine and bed early. i prob won't go to gym tomorrow, taking extended time off gym to feel better. maybe i'll cook tomorrow night, i think...
___________________________________________________
I'm doing this online 10 hour safety course. its taking much longer than 10 hours - taking me most of the holiday weekend. It's ok - i'm sick and nothing more i can do than relax on the couch! So, let me get back to it, I'm almost done! I have about 4 hours left and already completed 6 hours. I hope to be done actually by EARLY afternoon - def before 2pm! I'd even prefer to be done by noon - but depends how fast i can read, click, not get disracted, and how long i can sit on the couch without getting up! lol...
_________________________________________________________
I finished the course at 1:10pm and even did laundry also ... just need to put it away. I got so sick of the course, i decided to see if the laundry room was empty and to my surprise it stayed empty besides for myself of course and nobody came down at all while i was doing laundry! Was wonderful to be the only one in there, getting in & getting out without having to talk to anyone!
_____________________________________________________________
I'm going out to the store to buy a few more things to fight this cold. Then, i'm picking up some Miso soup and I'm coming home to have it as well as to cook. No gym yet, i'll wait till tomrrow because i'm just NOT 100%. I may even have to wait till after tomorrow if i want to get rid of the cold....yes.
I may actually skip working out until the cold is fully gone. but i do know also another thing - i am going to be getting even busier as the winter goes by - because i'm taking a course that starts January 23 and is only 1x per week lasting till early APRIL! ...that's a sorta impactful commitment, especially if that means to balance now 4x a week of being out of my apartment after work/weekends. It's just a lot for the Winter.
And a lot with all the job location changes and commuting. I am working just to feel better - another reason to wait to go to gym when i'm feeling much better - although it also means AGAIN my strength is DECREASING. I hate missing workouts, it truly screws up any hopes to actually get stronger because i'm constantly sliding backwards and having to recoop. ah well.
________________________________________________
2 day Sat/Sun avg is ok - 2325
______________________________________
Over the past couple weeks that DD was down, I logged about 2100 per week for those two weeks (sorta high, i have been indulging) on calories while being sick with a cold. I might have to visit the dr today to get something stronger than the cold meds I'm taking...since it's been around 2 weeks now. I'm just gonna buy more cold medicine at the pharmacy.
PS Hope you feel better soon! I had a nasty cold for about 2 weeks. Now the husband has it.
also, it also took me well over the 10hrs to complete - more like 15...
but it's pretty much still better than going outside your place to a class all day.
Before starting up with soon an added class every Tuesday night until April...I am hoping this cold ends by weekend. Starting to even feel fat but that could also be PMS lol I do feel moody....
Happy Friday ! Made it thru a whole week at new job site!
Wasn't easy tho everyone was nice and welcoming which was great.
Had extra kombucha - 110 cal - I don't think I've pooped since Wednesday and still didn't. Body is a bit out of wack....I THINK I MIGHT STOP HAVING KOMBUCHA IN MORNINGS.
Breakfast: coffee 50, banana 120, bite of coffee cake brought in by coworker 50 - 220
Snack: wrap 100, cashew butter 200, sf jelly. 300
10:30am: almonds 50
...horrible gas and bloating bc i have to poop but not going to in this trailer bc my body will not allow it anyways...
My trailer "office" is having a lunch today:
1650-1700 after lunch and dessert = decent and having some caffeine energy drink soon before picking up the Rx and gym - dr ordered wrong Rx a second time so I should have just gotten it yesterday ....and paid more since I get my $ back anyways ...my own $ from my reimbursement fund but I get it back and the difference isn't substantial enough that I should have just taken the Rx while I was at the store yesterday instead of needing to go again today and probably with the same error not fixed so no fix to the price ....no biggie just waiting for bus to go home !! And decided to do gym today and Sunday I feel much better after taking daytime cold medicine
dinner: 350 dunkin donuts, extras 300 (choc covered cranberries)
2450, ouch.
weekly average still good: 2140, ok.
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!
Chocolate covered cranberries sound divine and worth the calories!
6 dav average is still decent at 2085....can't wait to get back to the gym to work on my muscles...and for some reason, in the back of my mind, i still hope to one day be a court officer. at least i can get used to (i hope without being sick all the time) public transportation. it's so much healthier than my old commute.
my bathroom routine is off bc of waking up earlier and having to be out earlier, i may have to stop drinking kombucha in the mornings...but we'll see if my body works itself out...
_____________________________________________________
Home: kombucha 100, didn't work, body is off right now...getting used to a new schedule / wakeup
Breakfast: m&m's 50, banana 120, coffee 50: 220
Snack wrap 100 with honey 50, almond butter 200: 350.

Dinner: lots of buttery flavored pretzels 300, chinese in a tiny amount of sauce 200? i hope not more!, and 1 egg white and 1 one whole egg 100. total here approx 600.
total today is 2250, hopefully not more. must start to just get back on track / go to gym as soon as i feel better....it's not good to go if you have body aches and feel sick. it's just better to rest! i know from experience.
_________________________________________
Definite no gym tonight bc I am achy with a cold - luckily I have a medicine for colds similar to NyQuil so I slept a nice long sleep...

2100, fine.
2050/day 5day average
_____________________________________________________
Yes, i have to skip the gym bc i have a slight cold and not energized. It would be stupid to use any extra energy at the gym and then just end up being fully sick. I'll return to gym probably Friday, I prefer Thursday, but it might be difficult with work Friday...depends how I feel tomorrow AM.
It's stupid to go to gym when on the verge of possibly getting sick - just to end up getting sick...not worth getting sick.

-------------------------------------------------
Ricky took me on a test run of my new commute we also got breakfast and snacks along the way total time out 8am-11:30 am so it's good we did it early.... Now doing a bit of laundry and relaxing and cleaning hamster cage !!!! Plan is to relax and bed early ! I will have a totally different commute tomorrow !
Good idea to try out the new commute. I hope that this works out for you! I myself would rather leave the driving to someone else, but the time consumption may be something you'll need to reconcile. I used to take the train with a guy who would watch the morning news on his laptop every morning!
Good luck tomorrow - I'll be thinking of you!
anyways, the commute will be a hair longer, but will go fast. thank you for all the positive thoughts.

It's actually dangerous to be out in this...I'm feeling bad though for the people that are running out of supplies, food and meds...here it's been like this for quite awhile.
agreed, yes....i am sure there are people not as fortunate and not as prepared.
innerpeace on 01/04/2018:
I love unexpected days off from work. Alas, I will never have them again, but I hope you enjoy it and get what you need done. Have a good day!
I so enjoyed doing NOTHING.
happy-1 on 01/04/2018:
Oooh you must be super happy!!! Sounds like a good day for Netflix and Hot chocolate.
SUPER happy, YES!...though i didn't watch a movie or have hot chocolate, the day was peaceful.
Donkey on 01/04/2018:
Glad you got a day off !
ME TOO! needed more relaxing....lol, if i only skipped the gym the whole time of the cold, i might have been better already....but...i'm just trying to balance it with rest....prefer not to skip whole weeks, so just trying to get some of the sessions in...skipping tonight bc it will be a disaster with the snowfall to try driving...so i'm making it an "all-day" event tomorrow - the only goal tomorrow is getting to the gym...and also food shopping....less is more this winter.
Maria7 on 01/05/2018:
Enjoy your day off and hope you are feeling better every day.
yes, i'm getting there. going to the gym keeps making my throat sore due to heavier breathing, but, the soreness goes away over the morning...i'm trying to get the right rest to keep improving. it's working slowly.
thank you!!!!!!!!
