1688 5-day avg = ROCKING!
Strong kombucha 70, little bit seltzer with stevia. fine :)
Breakfast: wrap 60 with cream cheese 80 & salami 120 260. huge banana 150.
snack; tons of teas, energy drink, glad i brough my stevia sweetener, maybe no other snack other than lunch, not sure. Yes, also a brownie bar. very good highly recommend zero sugar! 170
LUNCH: LEAN POCKET WITH EXTRA, EXTRA VEGGIES HARDLY ANY SAUCE 550
SNACK IN AFTERNOON: APPLE IF NECESSARY 50
BEFORE GYM: BAR AND CAFFEINE 100.
1400...before gym :)........!
AFTER GYM: THINKING ICE CREAM. AND / OR JELLO OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT! only ice cream and then i was full and relaxed! 250 cal only (but it's a pint and tastes GOOD!) vanilla flavor. BRAND IS HALO TOP - LOOK IT UP! HARD TO FIND AND ACTUALLY TASTES EXCELLENT!
1600 total!!!!!!!! I THINK I MAY SWITCH TO GYM MON, WED & FRI INSTEAD OF WEEKEND!
ANOTHER GREAT CALORIE DAY. BUT I GOTTA SAY, THESE COUPLE BUSY WEEKS HAVE ME EXTREMELY STRESSED & ANXIOUS WHILE HERE AT WORK AND EXTREMELY TIRED AND MOODY AT HOME. SORRY ALL CAPS, DIDN'T TAKE IT OFF WHILE USING CAPS AT WORK!...
Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
6am: Kombucha – strong brand, new citrus flavor, higher sugar overall but worked fabulously 70.
8:30am: At work: wrap 100 with extra cream cheese 150, salami 100 350. Banana maybe later (I do need the extra potassium…maybe I can take a pill instead of bananas?)?....but then again bananas do me good overall in terms of digestion and calming it…so bananas are fine then I guess…and I have been enjoying potatoes. For the same reason.
Snack: probably extra or not, we’ll see. Maybe just an Atkins Nutty Fudge Brownie bar! You must try these. Especially when they are fresh. 170 calories of brownie goodness.
...had the banana too :)
750 before..excellent and the late lunch at 1pm it will be.
Lunch: “Lean Pockets” i forget the exact flavor but it might have to do with pizza pepperoni. bought it on a splurge on Sunday bc they were on sale! 300 cal with extra, extra veggies. 500 at most.
1250
…I will be going to bed EXTRA early. prob got around 5 hours last night and it's not working for me....but it does work that i can make up for it on nights that i don't work out...i sorta like it this way. so def a sleeping pill around 5pm and i'll probably be in bed no later than 8pm, waking up around 5:30am.
Just decided right now – banana is for with my dinner most probably. Early to bed. Sleeping pill probably on the extra early side around 5pm. Dinner is most probably same as I had last night – jello, protein pancake & also a bigger banana tonight.
TTYL.1800 most.
1680 3-day avg = superb.
we can do anything we put our minds to.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

UPDATE AT ALMOST 2PM AFTER LUNCH: feeling not so well. tired and cold....i will prob take off the monday after next weekend bc just not feeling well about these two weeks. too busy and no rest isn't good to me lol....
______________________________________________________
Good thing is I went to bed early & got some nice, extra sleep. Bad thing is that the side effects of the pill are still lingering a hair lol...but i'm trying to just feel the tired feeling without reaching for any sugar free Monster just yet as I have the gym tonight also & will be drinking it then...
_____________________________________________________
I may just eat LUNCH at my desk. I am going to be considerably busy from now until Veteran's Day when I'm off......if i need to take a sick day next Monday after this coming busy weekend, I will.
GYM TONIGHT, WEDNESDAY & FRIDAY...BECAUSE PLANNING TO SKIP GYM ON WEEKEND.
MAY TAKE OFF NEXT MONDAY FOR GYM / CATCH UP DAY, BUT PROB NOT.
MY PLAN IS SIMPLE - TAKE THESE BUSY DAYS DAY BY DAY, MINUTE BY MINUTE, AND NOT LOOK FORWARD TOO MUCH UNTIL THESE EVENTS ACTUALLY TAKE PLACE...AND PROBABLY DRIVE INTO CITY NEXT SUNDAY TO SAVE MYSELF TIME AND NOT NEED TO WALK SO MUCH NEXT WEEKEND, PROBABLY.
________________________________________________________
Ate a huge volume a bit late yesterday around 4:30-5pm so a bit bloated today but it's my own doing. I had extra kombucha this AM but it didn't work because veggies take time to be digested and not enough hours to move them through this AM yet....learning the lesson more & more that it's not worth overdoing / overeating so late in day because...well we know why. And maybe i'll just have to stick with more liquidy things like Jello and not as many veggies if it's later in the afternoon? .... lol.
Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
1750 2-day avg = excellent.
Morning all...off to a special scholarship breakfast at the Union.

Life is busy now & exciting. Happy about it. But finding balance isn't as easy as it was - which is fine. but life for me lately is either very busy or not busy at all.

Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
Good luck with finding your balance. Is something I've been thinking about for further in the future - I know overeating and I know being very careful but the balance thing? I don't envy people who are underweight but I sometimes envy people whose weight stays the same and they stay happy with it (regardless of what that weight is) - ditto activity levels, being involved in things etc.
Sounds like you have some awesome restaurants near you :)
More power to you, lovely person xx

Lots of wonderful memories, but NO TIME to write about it...and i already did on facebook while posting pics. I'm so done writing about the trip as it feels a chore right now with everything else i'm doing!
