____________________________________________________
Overall i'm doing good, just a little low energy / body aches due to hormones. I have lots of bloating and thigh cramps right now...would rather be home sleeping / pooping honestly. stomach is out of whack. it's hormones. i'll be far better by Friday. Happy to get extra sleep tonight as last night was not that great. I took two tylenol to alleviate most of the pain.
Progress as of today: 1.5 lbs lost so far, only 4.5 lbs to go!

____________________________________________
On another note, i can relate to all the folks that feel they are doing good but that the scale isn't moving...like you, i feel i have been doing good, but the scale shows i must do better as it's moving slow...and today, after a very low cal night, it actually went up too! so, goes to show that just one good day doesn't change a scale...takes much more than one good day or week...takes weeks and months to turn the scale around.
_____________________________________________
I went to drop off my car at planned time for the airbag recall before work at new place sort of by the train (the car dealership service is around a mile from the train) that goes into city to my job area....they didn't have the part!!!!!!!
Even though i'm late to work, I can leave on time because i already made up 2 hours of time knowing i was going to be late today by 2 hours. so this is good that i can leave ON TIME.
So, when i leave, i have to go get my car which should take at least 20-30 minutes walk from the closest train to that area and luckily it's also the train i use to go home so it's on the way.... then i'm driving straight to the gym for a workout and snacking on the way in my car on the drive as i used to always when i drove after work lol....hoping to be at gym around 6pm.
I have been working to get this recal done for 2 months now...pretty funny how long it takes to schedule and actually get a recall fixed at Poniac/GMC/Cadillac dealerships! Scheduling isn't the best with them...so now i'm waiting, still, for a phone call telling me that they have the part...then, no matter what, i have to call them to confirm they have the part the day before i actually get the service done, so that i dont go there for nothing, again. So far, it's happened twice now...once at a dealership with both poor service and poor attitudes. Now, it's happened again at this place, but at least customers are treated respectfully.
...it's sorta all a big joke as you can see! I'll be happy to just get it done. Waiting on their phone call that they have the part, to schedule AGAIN to get the recall done lol.
_______________________________________________
hamster finally let me pet her last night...she actually stood still for several minutes at a time, a first for her as she's HYPERACTIVE let me tell you! however she was in a weird postiion, like she though i was a male hamster coming up behind her :( ah well. she enjoyed being pet and a little massage and that's all that matters. also the first time i put her in the ball...and man is she fast...the ball was seriously bouncing loudly off my walls lol. today different from the previous hamster. it's good a have a good cage that she can't chew through bc she def would have escaped already! i also fed her part of a carrot...she's a good girl! still i haven't held her for more than a second as i believe she's still a little scared of that...but things are getting much more comfortable with my girl Teddy Bear as i named her.
Progress as of today: 1.5 lbs lost so far, only 4.5 lbs to go!
Now that I'm down to only needing to lose that final 10-15 lbs of fat, it's become extremely difficult. I guess I now understand people saying that losing the last few pounds is the hardest.
Exactly what you said about the scale: do the right thing, gain weight. Have dessert, lose 2 pounds. Slow burn....
Doing good...happy for a new week.

Breakfast: coffee 50, avocado 160, wrap 60, egg 80, garlic, pepper, salt, hour later a banana
snack: protein bar 180

Dinner: TBD...i don't really have enough food at home for this week..but will make an effort to eat lightly tonight...craving to make grilled cheese with a side / topping of a tomato salad. i am still craving fats...so strange. Dinner will be a sandwich from Dunkin Donuts - egg and cheese. 350 and pepper and some ketchup.

Eager to eat dinner tonight earlyish, get to appointment, come back home and be sleeping early so i can resume the gym tomorrow. bit of a sleepy day today.
I was contemplating going to gym before appt but based on my activity level on weekend, i'm better off not doing any more straining on my body until TOMORROW :)
I have big plans coming up in the next couple weeks, may have to skip a gym session ...really want to try not to, though...as i'm finally progressing very well.
Progress as of today: 1.5 lbs lost so far, only 4.5 lbs to go!

Bought a ticket to see a broadway show tonight after work, just me, it was a deal. Will update when i find out which show :)
________________________________________
Also, I am happy because the next month, May and even June, looks to be active and busy with lovely and fun plans :) yup, already. Welcome, SPRING!
I'LL BE SEEING SAINT JOAN ON BROADWAY TONIGHT, WALKING THERE FROM WORK...LUCKY FOR ME, THERE'S ACTUALLY A SUBWAY STATION 3 BLOCKS FROM THAT THEATRE THAT HAS A TRAIN THAT I TAKE TO GO HOME. CHEERS.
and the cast is mostly Men...liking that!...takes place in like 15th Century France...i'm liking all of it !...It's the Story of Joan of Arc :) very cool.
i'm going alone to the show specifically bc i asked friends multiple times if they were interested / free on certain dates and they weren't and i just wanna do something i've wanted to do...without having to wait for a future opporutnity. so instead of always waiting, i'm ready to do things myself these days. half the weekend will go like this, too...Sunday is with friends.
too many times i don't do things because of dependency on others...i'm going to start doing more by myself so i can enjoy more...it'd be nice to do it with someone, but that opportunity isn't always available for a single person.
Around 2200.
Weekly Avg is good around 2140 per day and lots of good walking after work on Friday going to the theater and then a little walk home from the bus and weather was decent not too cold !
Progress as of today: 1.5 lbs lost so far, only 4.5 lbs to go!
Today I went jogging and had brunch - total overeating fest - and a movie with people - seems fun but at the same time lately I wish for someone to feel closer with - to be intimate with - a friend and lover - who also likes some space like I enjoy mine - I hope to continue thru life and enjoy the ups and downs and meet more people and friends and a man still that is a compliment to myself :)

I stuck entirely to the plan above today for food...and it feels GREAT!
I hope to see more of hammy Teddy Lady tonight :) So far, she's GREAT at hiding!
______________________________________
So i'm doing this work, very slow process, and got hungry all morning and now i realize right now that i'm not hungry but totally wanted food as a delay tactic....so glad i'm not reaching it....and waiting till noon to walk and then eat. i'll be working on sticking to my gut these months...and not reaching for something as often at work throughout the morning i'm going to try to have less snacks...like 2 but not more than that in a 5hr period from 7am-12pm.
______________________________________
I have a union meeting tonight at 6pm...i think i'll come home to eat before it? or maybe just eat out before it? beause i want to again go to sleep early after this meeting so i'll be ready for a good gym session tomorrow night...once again, i'm planning for a LONG walk home tonight, 1.5 mi. I'm really trying to get my walking up during the week...I don't think i'm ready to jog during the week yet or want to yet as the walk is 1.5 mi which is simiar to me trying to do my 2mi walk/jog...i'd rather keep walking after work until May, unless i have a day off (FRIDAY afternoon i will plan a jog bc i am off from work - unless it rains!) then, i'll actuallly go to the gym and use the treadmill / bike / stairs, i've decided maybe i can do like 10 min on each one :)
_____________________________________
I got GREAT sleep & actually woke up & GOT OUT OF BED from my alarm. I changed the music from a light Jazz station (which was playing for perhaps a month) back to pop last night bc the signal was coming out fuzzy not for any other reason...but...the pop is better for waking up, I realized! NO MORE LIGHT JAZZ in morning to wake up to!
________________________________________
Progress as of today: 1 lbs lost so far, only 5 lbs to go!
however, now that i've realized it the past couple of days and wrote it here / admitted it to myself, i notice lately in the afternoon a lack of hunger when i used to be...i think i'm starting to notice a few differences of real hunger vs not...still learning myself.

Feel better!
stomach almost all better...all better i'd say, actually :)
bearcountrygg on 05/03/2018:
Maybe chewing gum would help the hunger....I keep forgetting that.
it does help and i have been doing it lately :)
bearcountrygg on 05/03/2018:
Of course maybe the gas is from the gum??????
oh def some of it !!! :)
