Monday Morning Edit: after going to the gym last night, I did feel better. It wasn't worth it to skip. Getting good sleep helped me have a good workout. I must remember this - if i'm going to have a full day, i can at least get good sleep and try not to skip workouts on the weekend. Overall, a successful weekend no doubt.
And i've realized that even if i wake up tired, i can definitely get re-energized by later in the afternoon!
_________________________________________________________
Sunday entry:
Yesterday (Saturday) was a success. But today i'm feeling extremely tired / run down. My legs feel tired. My left ankle is so-so. I want to skip the gym later. I don't have the energy for it & also for a full week ahead. So yeah, i have to skip it.
Lately, I'm skipping the gym too often. I think i skipped it again recently - yes, last weekend i skipped it too. Maybe if I do feel better tonight but it's sorta doubtful now.
First, I gotta shower & do laundry.
Maybe i should just try to get one simple thing done at a time...
If i go to gym, leg exercises will obviously be skipped because my legs are already tired. I could do a shortened session. And more sitting while lifting weights or something. YES. I will try....but first i'm thinking to get this laundry done. Chances are HUGE that the laundry room downstairs has a lot of people - but i will def do my laundry before gym.
Also, if laundry room is full - i'll use the opportunity to go out and buy extra food for the week & buy some kombucha. that's all. the place is 5-10 minutes away. might as well. but again...one thing at a time.
...need to shower. it's already noon.
I woke up around 9-10 and finally got outta bed 10. Had a humongous breakfast, more healthy than not:
Healthy oatmeal with chia and flax 210, made with water but still very creamy from chia i guess, i added stevia, was craving a banana so included it 140, then had a complete package of jello lemon flavor that i made last night with 100 cal of strawberries mixed into it 50. total breakfast is approx 500.
then i fell asleep almost 2 hours more after breakfast....
Noon: 2 big servings of siracha flavor veggie chips 250-300.
750 approx so far...just need to shower lol...i will def need caffeine if i go to the gym. thinking about it. ANOTHER IDEA IS TO SHOWER, DO LAUNDRY, AND ONLY GO TO THE GYM AND FORGET ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE. ALSO A DECENT OPTION.
2pm lunch: leftovers chicken 150, salad with dressing 200. 350....and dessert around 2:45pm was two pieces of this awesome toaster bread (really thick & only tastes good toasted) with a little cream cheese 250.
1350..will be going early to gym around 3:30pm after i take up my clothes from the dryer. really tired day feeling like I have a hangover :( but i didn't drink. just really tired.
and 3:30pm - fiber one key lime cheesecake bar with monster energy drink sugar free of course. 150.
1500 before GYM (i am going)...sore throat is getting better....hope to keep it this way!...oh i had squash...i knew i forgot something! 50
1550 before gym...is what it is.
dinner was also healthy but at least 550-600.
total for Sunday is 2150. too darn high again, but healthy & i ate in moderation.
average for Sat & Sunday is approx 2200.

at least i didn't have very much to do Sunday as like i said - i planned for being tired. the extra sleep helped.
In the past, i gave into laziness / giving up temptations so much easier & quicker than i do now...
I am learning, at 34 years old just turned it on 9/9/16.
I hope to continue with my approach of not giving up as easily....especially when i enter the NYPD academy...i hope to maintain my lean physique and healthy eating / exercise goals.
I have learned that i need to party / socialize less...in order to reach my own goals. :-D
I am totally here to help you and the rest of the DDErs and also to gain guidance from you all.
It's a wonderful site!

Parade was great but happy to go home now. Went into city with friends they drove us and we took the subway from queens into NYC. Going home I am taking, right now sitting on it, the express bus from NYC to where I live in Queens with my parents Bc they parked by me to go home. I will walk from bus to my apt - 10 min.
Was in city from around 11:30 till 5. Long day! Parade was nice and got a hat :-)

Hopefully not more than 950.

Want to try to go buy ice cream but probably gonna stay home for the night once I get home around 6:30pm.

Overall, I'm feeling really, really great.
My mom may join my dad at the parade - if so, I'll eat with them after it's finished for lunch in the city to celebrate my bday - then go home & relax - maybe laundry on Saturday while home :-D so i don't have to do it Sunday lol...
And Sunday = gym & maybe small food shopping....
No big plan. And very happy about it. I'd say a parade is big anyways!
Happy Friday Fran & thanks for your kind words! So appreciated!
This year a am SO MUCH STRONGER and almost there to being as close to 100% as I will be by the summer----i was so happy to go to the parade...because I was ABLE TO. I am so thankful to G-D i was able to walk in it...really :)
This week will have to have higher cals...because it seems that limiting them (as i want to do) is working to the opposite effect on me...the structure and demands i'm putting on myself is making me want to eat more....so....dealing.
Digestion is also very off this week : / ....oh well. I need to maybe buy Kombucha tonight in order to have a stronger drink tomorrow morning...and also, must get up earlier bc there's more traffic on the roads as NYC schools started today.

Slept in a lil bit & getting ready for a bbq out east with good friends. It's a long drive there, but should be fun once we're out there. Will be a long day with the driving and all but worth it. Glad the weather held up & that the hurricane Hermine didn't stop the fun this weekend...I will be cutting up loads of veggies to bring to the bbq. My friends know i'm the veggie queen. It will def be a late night tonight coming home & that's ok. Planned on it already.

Good deal on skipping the snack. I couldn't do it.
i got busy and my mind was finally off the food. that's the only reason :) sometimes a little busy is good for me in that way :) but RARE!
