1812 4-day average :)
Already voted before work around close to 7am, was early to work by 7:30am which is fine! & will be going to gym after work. Lately planning for success works out wonderfully, to say the least!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
2am bc my stomach was slightly turning and sleep was fully interrupted: small banana 120, 6am i had a vinegar drink 30 cal. 150 total.
8am early at work: another small banana 120 (good for me because of potassium and settles stomach), some of a coffee 30 ( i seem to hate coffee now), energy drink 1 serving only, wrap 60 of farmers cheese 60 and salami 100. total here: 370.
520... good, good. it will be a tired day...i can tell. but i can also realize it's not worth it to hound on about it...and to sorta forget about being tired bc it'll eventually work itself out.
prob will have a bigger protein bar, 200 cal for snack. Not gonna finish the bar - it's big and i'm full, more tired than anything...left ankle hurting. ah, it's a tough week after a busy weekend. but i'm getting thru it!
750 (finsihed the bar...so bored and tired lol).
600 lunch.
100 and caffeine before gym
1450, good.
after gym: approx 350.
1800, perfect!

Didn't sleep well because was woken up again by neighbors and video games at 2am-2:30am or so! no good. Left them a note under their door that if they are going to watch tv / listen to music in the middle of the night, they need to lower the volume because it's heard very audibly in the surrouding apartments. I thanked them in advance and didn't sign the note, so they don't know who left it...I really did NOT want to sign my name as i feel they should know better and that i shouldn't have had to deal with it.
I'm sure it won't happen again. it's happened 2x already - friday night around 10pm and last night around 2am (which seriously can't be happening all the time! during the work week!)...anyways, i am sure i have solved the situation and i am sure i will speak up if the situation doesn't resolve itself. Not angry about it, as it's a 1-time deal for during this week - and i am positively thinking that it's not going to be ongoing especially after i asked them to lower the volume. It's a single mom with teens next door, and i'm sure it's the teen boys that were doing it - she may have slept over her boyfriend's place nearby which is why they were probably up so late with the volume so loud.
Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!

Planning to begin a couch to 5k running program in February and do it twice as slow, taking 18 weeks (4.5 months) instead of 9 weeks to get myself back into jogging before NYPD academy. Ankle still sucks, but, I'll just "do it." my body IS getting stronger & stronger and i plan to be stronger by February, when i begin this program. And if i feel like it, I'll start in march, no worries.

I am finally moving away from my whipped fave cream cheese and onto farmer's cheese - I tried it today for the first time - and it's great on a wrap as a substitute to cream cheese. and half the calories! I will throw out the weight watchers brand of whipped cream cheese i bought - it's terrible! but other brands of whipped cream cheese i do like! - but Farmer's cheese is the healthier option and tasty too! It has a nice ricotta flavor and smooth texture...good for wraps / sandwiches. Only 40 cal per two tablespoons. Whipped cream cheese has 80 cal for 2 tablespoons. BIG difference. - one is close to 50cal, the other close to 100.
Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
Morning eating: islandic style yogurt flavored so some sugar 100, with my own cooked cranberries and stevia 50 also had seltzer with stevia followed by some beef jerky 100. Later followed by ice cream light variety 150. 400. Trying to save calories as I am going to a big brunch in the village (NYC) today for a lovely friend's birthday....
Date last night went well he is a nice guy. I am attracted to his personality more than his look at this point is beyond unreasonable to even say here but it's how I feel. I am glad we didn't kiss yet (only on cheek goodbye) Bc I wasn't feeling it, yet. Also maybe I was anxious about today. No clue.
He was dressed really well and so clean cut which I loved. I really wish it was how I usually am and I just see him for his looks but it's the complete opposite this time around....I notice his intelligence and a d ability to have balance in life and all but for some reason I don't feel completely attracted right off the bat? I did have a good time.
Brunch was large. First some crackers 100 before brunch. Portabella mushroom burger with a large bun with some butter but extremely light on butter 500 for that, sautéed spinach 150, bites but many of a sweet pancake 150?, some bites of icing and chocolate brownie 100 more. 1000.
1400...
Dinner light meal back at home: another portabella with veggies and Jello. Around 300 cal?
1800 today. Excellent. Goodnight :)

Happy Weekend!
It's 11:40am, my clothes are in the dryer, and I'm feeling good about this weekend. Boy was I stressing this week. Trying to get the gym in (successfully) on Mon, Wed & Friday evening so that I wouldn't have to think about the gym for this weekend. And now I don't have to worry about it at all. I sorta like this gym approach, though, NOT every week. I don't think I'd want to be going to the gym on Friday nights every week!
Anyways, I was stressing for the weekend because this weekend is going to be BUSY but in the best ways: Today I'm going on a date (first time in FOREVER amost!) and it's a REAL date. No other friends invited or anything. He's my age, 34. We are friends on fb maybe like 3 years and known each other maybe 5 years. When i used to live with my parents, and went to a gym on Long Island where i used to live with them, he went there too. He was always there, but of course we never spo.............DANG it....i deleted half of what i jsut wrote..............!
anyways, i have a date today that i'm really lookng foward to & also a brunch tomorrow in the Village in NYC (should last the whole day)....so i'm prepared - already went food shopping & everything for next week.....
around 1pm...finally stepping into the shower. will be ready by 2:30pm lol when my date picks me up :)
Morning food & drink: probiotic soda and some sips of a leftover kombucha, a lot of sf jello 100 calories. followed by entire pint of Vanilla Halo Top. 250 cal. total 350 cal.
1pm chips 150.
total so far: 500 cal.
need some protein though, before he picks me up i'll have something. wrap with olive oil & lox 200.
700-750.
800 before bigger dinner:Dinner appetizers chicken kebab 150 tops, 2 very fried things with curry and potato 150 each? 450.!! And my meal of calamari and veggies 400 in sauce and some rice 200 1050.

I often feel the same way about my walking as you do about the gym. I feel obligated to walk while the weather is nice out because I KNOW that winter will soon be here and it will be all that much harder.
Usually I'm happy that I went walking, but sometimes it's really hard to drag my butt out of bed in the morning to do so...
The coworker that was intentionally ignoring me - I just told him off. I am sorta annoyed / surprised it came to this -but I just couldn't take his rude behavior anymore and ignoring is rude if it's a man that sits directly next to me at work. I told him it's rude to ignore and even ruder to teach his kid to do it (he once brought his 5-yr old to work & same issue - he had specifically told his kid not to speak to me!). So that's done. I told him that from now going forward the only reason I would speak to him is work related & that's it. Done with his atiitude. And as far as bosses ignoring me, same thing. Going to ignore the 1 boss who also ignores me (1 out of so many bosses!) and there's one coworker also that ignores me (1 out of like 150 coworkers). So for these 3 people outta like 150 people at the office, i feel it's fine to ignore them....I don't like doing it, as it's not in my personality, but, if they haven't changed by now, I'll give them what they want and not deal with being ignored when i do try to speak with them. ...
pure stupidity i tell you on the whole above issue!

Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
I hope you have a better day.
I don't wish him anything bad but also i cannot apologize for my actions that may have turned him off, especially since i'm not sure which actions or why although i can guess - but what my guess is, i am not sorry for doing the job my boss gave me...which was to take this coworker's work and log it in the computer...so it was like he did the work and i finalized it...that was my job.
Home: kombucha 60
work: wrap 60 with lox 110, cream cheese 80 250. and huge banana 150.

1300-1350, had a few nice candies. felt really awake today after lunch = GREAT feeling. did have some caffeine, but i also took a walk and was definitely more alert after it! short walk for like 10 minutes around the building and chatting with receptionist...i guess taking a break is healthy!
Light Dinner & bed early tonight i think: jello i think in combo with extra cocoa powder in a protein mighty muffin..........! YES. dinner around 700. satisfying! also had some of the veggies and soy meat i bought for the weekend lol.
Will be making some jello tonight also, for the weekend...

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!

______________________________________________________
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.
