Forgot to set my clock and needed to not rush this morning because i have a cleaning lady coming & needed to lock my belongings as well as make sure to bring everything with me food-wise for work, make sure to use the bathroom in an unrushed manner as i just can't rush anymore, and make sure to bring gym clothes lol....
So I got to work 45 min late. LOL. All is GOOD. Boss understands completely about the fact it's a busy week thankfully. I may actually have to work late at work today now...till 5pm with a short lunch oops.
I will probably be writing far less tomorrow thru Monday...visitor at my place for the long weekend over here.
Planning to go to gym tonight for a final workout until Tuesday (Monday i don't want to have to do anything after I drop him at airport. I may change my mind and go to gym Monday, but totally not sure.
Leg is a bit sore still and tight from all the walking I did at beach this past Monday. But staying positive & stretching...and getting extra sleep.
So like I said, I'm going to gym tonight & also going to pick up my favorite brand of sleeping pill so I have it in case....and reutrn the store brand ones...maybe i'll do that next week at the pharmacy, yes...I will take one probably tonight, my last night taking it until further notice and not while he's here this weekend obviously.
Extra sleep as helped, a lot.

I am sore in upper thighs and hurting a little in my left ankle. If i have to skip the gym i will, although, i'm only going for upper body really. I am trying to continue with my workouts (2 more) this week & will attempt to do it all within reason.
Good thing is I am getting most of the sleep I need (with help of sleeping pills) but if I'm going to get thru this period of time with a lot going on, sleeping is something that can't be skipped. The pills are actually helping me sleep usually beyond the 7-8 hrs, sometimes more like 9hrs.
I am glad my body can rest right now at least while sleeping. I'm too busy to skimp on sleep also.
I have made it so that after my friend from Canada goes home, I will also be able to rest a little bit before going straight back to work - a 3-day week next week also like this week. By having the extra rest, I will be able to continue to feel pretty good for the rest of this summer.
I was going to go to the beach a day after he goes home (next Tuesday, my last day off before going back to work after Canadian guy goes home) with my best friend, but instead decided to take it easy and only do things around my apartment, errands, gym, etc - but no extra day plans like beach or getting together with friends bc it's too much.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It's going to be a crazy week - letting you all know in advance that i may not be commenting a lot as I have a lot going on this week...and my mind is sorta wishy washy right now.
I am working Tues thru Thursday and trying to keep my gym sessions. (one tuesday & one either thursday or maybe friday).
my friend from Canada is coming for the weekend starting Friday afternoon till Monday morning.
I have a TON going on this coming weekend. :-) All good things.
Progress as of today: 3 lbs lost so far, only 4 lbs to go!
Enjoy your day Franny xo

Progress as of today: 3 lbs lost so far, only 4 lbs to go!
i'm a bit distracted.
of course i'll still make entries...may even skip a few days at the end of this week..
lots going on :) staycation with my friend visiting from Peterborough (near Toronto)
8am breakfast: Cinnamon apple Mighty Muffin (not in love with the flavor but it was part of a sample package so i wasn't gonna throw it out...) 220, with extra fish oil pills 20, banana 120, and cream cheese on top of the muffin after microwaving 60: 420, good.

total so far: 1670, fine...going to gym, but just for a light late afternoon sesson. upper front thighs are sore from jet skiing...and my body's digestive system is seriously out of whack today...but also since i'll be out, i'll pick up some food for the week & cash as well when i pass citibank on the way to the gym. I will be busy all day tomorrow & it's best i get this done before the week starts. I always forget how long it takes my body to rest after a big event / big day / big night. sheesh.
If i go to the gym, i should make in an easy session...or i may just skip it really, undecided still...feeling sore from jet skiing...not sure what i'm doing today really.
good thing is all my laundry is finished. and i did a few extra things like my throw blanket on my couch and also the bathmats. I have company coming Friday and these are a couple items i did in advance and glad they are clean and will be pretty clean for the weekend still - saves me laundry time & hassel for laundry i will need to do right before company comes, probably doing it Thursday evening.
total today is 2,120 great :) gym worked out :)
day avg approx 1935/day. excellent. ____________________________________________________________________
Jet Skiing was an overall success for our first time. Now I can rest saying I've done it! Relaxing right now. Glad i don't have plans. laundry and gym should be enough today. I'll try to get to the gym a lil early since i just realized i was at the gym on the early side Friday so it's ok for me to get there a few hours earlier & not have to go late at night tonight....i like to wait 48hrs before sessions.
Yesterday was a FULL and fun day! I met my friend at 1pm and we drove off to go Jet Skiing. We got there at 2pm and filled out the forms and waviers. After all was said and done and we went out with our (private) guide...worked out so well that we got one guide all to ourselves!...we were out in the Atlantic Ocean with the boats and having the time of our lives. Water was a bit choppy. So we didn't make it to Coney Island...but we still had fun & that's what it should be about. :-) I am proud of my friend jen and myself. We all know females usually don't have the same levels of testosterone as guys...and i'm proud of us two women heading out and jet skiing on our own. What an awesome day.
After we were done jet skiing, we got back around 4pm to the jet ski rental place. Around 5pm we were back at my friend's house and we hopped out of her car and into mine. We went to quickly drop our waterproof cameras off at CVS by here house (and also pretty close to my work) and i also picked up some sugar free drinks for us as we were both STARVING. We then drove off to go out to eat at a Hibachi place sorta by her (20 min away) and we shared the main dish which was all hibachi veggies and then extra bean sprouts instead of noodles / rice...and Chilean Sea Bass. It's worth it to share. We also had a nice soup and salad. She got two drinks but I did the "right thing" and had an appetizer of hibachi asparagus! haha. Big meal as I ate the entire thing. We were so hungry.
We also did a fast shopping at a discount jewelry store before dinner since we were in a shopping center and everything was on sale for around $1.99 each! and the earrings / necklaces were a really NICE selection for that price!!
When dinner was over, we drove to another town called Forest Hills. It's also in Queens. She wanted to pick up some pastries for both her boyfriend and daughter who was coming home the next day to celebrate her bday with my friend. So we went there. Forest Hills is a very "uppity & lively" town and a town with a huge nightlife. Many restaurants and bars and afffluent people there. We walked around a bit, talked to some friendly cops, and enjoyed life. I got home after dropping her off first...i got home around 11pm! What a nice day yesterday was. Glad to be home today without a place to be. VERY happy about it.
Progress as of today: 3 lbs lost so far, only 4 lbs to go!

________________________________________________________________
Weighed a totally empty 116lbs this morning after nothing in stomach, etc. I hope to bring the # down a hair more (i would prefer to weigh 112-115 and I think i'd settle there), actually, if I can - but there's no time limit. I'm loving the new lower weight that i've had since like March. Just loving it. Clothes fit better, everything's better at the lower weight.
I am happy with my current weight, don't get me wrong.
Anyways, today's a great day.
I am going Jet Skiing today in the afternoon with my friend from work at a local place called Rockaway Jet Ski. You can google it if you are interested in seeing what it's about. It's a Jet Ski tour with a group of folks. We are going from the "Rockaways" in Queens all the way to "Coney Island" which is the home of the famous Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest as well as an Amusement park with a famous roller coaster. The whole tour is 1.5hrs round trip. We'll be jet skiing in the Atlantic Ocean.
I'm going to drive to her (30 min) and then go from there. but first, i need to get the brazilian wax done which is about 10 min from her as she lives right by my work and that's where the wax place is. I wanted to go after work yesterday but the woman was busy & i wasn't going to wait & waste time after work when i still had to go to the gym. Yesterday did work out quite well also.
Everything worked out great yesterday, I got the waterproof cameras too just in time in the mail from Amazon yesterday! I ordered them knowing they'd arrive just in time. I got them for such a steal - 4 cameras for $30 total. In the store, 1 camera was $20. Glad i was able to return it. I bought 4 because my coworker wanted two and i wanted 1....and the price of 4 for $30 was good. I'll use my second camera next weekend when my friend form Canada comes & we go to the beach again! So it was worth the price. oh yeah!
Jet Skiing costs me a pretty penny indeed. It was $200 to sign up for this activity. But worth it as I've never been. I count this weekend as a mini-vacation (not going anywhere on vacation until maybe my friend's bachelorette mini vaca in late October. I'm enjoying these mini trips and activities.
I'm happy overall with my life. Very happy. I'm getting to do new things & have new experiences.

Afternoon Plans:
get out of work at 2pm. get extra cash from supermarket (for brazilian wax she only takes cash)
get brazilian wax (so i don't have to do it next week because next week will be very busy also and my Canadian friend is coming for the weekend next weekend and well...i'll just get this done now as a week is still good timing for things like this!)
go home, drop off my stuff, get dressed for gym while home instead of later at the gym...check if i got my waterproof cameras from amazon
and if so, return the camera i bought from Rite Aid for double the price ($20 in store, but 4 for $30 on amazon - i bought 4 (2 for me, 2 for coworker - i will use another camera next weekend when my friend is here from Canada)!
and gym. :-) then home...and relaxing....all night.
I don't think i will need a sleeping pill as i am pretty tired right now at 12:40pm after lunch. ? not sure about this. we'll see when i get home from the gym later tonight.
I have been sleeping a lot more this week. needed it.
All in all, I am quite tired but i do realize i've planned extra for some rest during the long weekend. So even though I am tired now, I'm also glad I have planned to do everything in moderation this weekend.
Someone from work who is attracted to me offered we get together Saturday early evening, but, I'm turning him down. I think the beach for jet skiing is enough? We'll see how I feel then? I think Jet Skiing is good enough plans for Saturday..no need to throw in planning to have $ex too in evening in addition to jet skiing...!? lol. tmi!? too much guys!? I actually will not rise to his (sorta frequent trying as he's been trying with me for few months i'd say)....not rising to his bait just yet. :)
Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
1250 after lunch, good. ...peach 80
bigger dinner, but healthy still: around 600.
total: 1950. good.
1 mile walk outside :)
because i've been tired, i had extra carbs (pretzels) at lunch. i'm also skipping gym tonight and going tomorrow after work and sunday also. we get out of work a bit early tomorrow, so i can manage extra sleep tonight and reading and quiet time as i'm very much looking foward to that. works out better not to kill myself at gym tonight :-)
1890/day 6-days
_________________________________________________________
Wed night into Thursday & Thursday night into Friday - def got more sleep, even over 8 hrs. I took a sleeping pill on Thursday night & just wish i could keep sleeping right now (6:45am). I even forgot to set my clock so it's great i woke up lol...just enough time to get ready for work....
Glad to get extra sleep. Tonight I may not need a sleeping pill...i'm already feeling so tired now.
Sleeping pills for me do not always wear off so easily.
Thankful for the extra sleep this week. Overall, my skin has improved aside from a huge pimple that i may actally take care of NEXT week if it doesn't go away easily. Today i'll try to limit my activities to only the gym after work.
Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
