out early probably at 1pm today....did extra walking with friend so not sure about jogging tomorrow?...i showed my friend a large train station that she'll be using to commute bc she moved from Queens to Long Island. I showed her the Long Island Railroad and took her on a short tour. We stopped a couple times along the way from work to the train station, so it took around half hour or a little longer as we looked in some stores. Maybe more like 45 min. Then we took the subway from there to go home :)
snack before gym: small bar, seltzer with stevia and cherries. 200 and relaxing on the couch for like a half hour.
Working for a lower calorie day...I would be happy with 1700 cal.

_____________________________________
gym after work - had a GOOD workout. abs are starting to improve.
no interest to diet more to lose weight, just to increase cardio
_____________________________________
after work before i go home: quick trip to bank, quick trip to H&M to pick up stretchy, strapless bras. cheap and perfect to wear under ANY shirt.
_______________________________________
Finally it's that time of the month, really happy about it as I knew it was coming for at least 3 days before i could tell....happy when the symptoms beforehand finally lead into it...and knowing that it will all be over soon ! i think i'll lose weight afterwards. ...not working to lose weight, really what i need is to get more cardio fit.
Progress as of today: -2 lbs lost so far, only 6 lbs to go!

________________________________________
I really need to lower cals a hair bc i am not so pleased with my shape...but at the same time, i feel i could lose an inch if i get more cardio in...like BCGG this is just a "moment in time" and i can make changes. I don't want to rush changes bc i really want to run someday...and i'm working on it now...but don't want to rush & get another injury. The court officer thing is not happening yet ...i have time to improve and possibly get in....i just can't rush it and risk injury.
The classes i've signed up for are done..
Beach yesterday was fun but i am not fully comfortable anymore with a certain person...and not sure how the rest of the summer will play out....
I enjoy hanging out with some friends just one on one and others in a group. mostly one on one..but a lot of the one on one friends that i'd like to bring together like so there's 3 in the group - they dislike each other. it's hilarious
i don't know if i actually want to go to the beach each weekend, probably not for the entire summer every weekend.
i get bored just doing the same thing..she's not interested in new beaches.
right now, i'm a bit antsy.
i know i just need to up my cardio slowly, and not forget my fitness goals right now.
__________________________________________________
I'm reading an interesting book called Fat!So? ...it's a book about how it shouldn't be a crime to say you are fat...and the author is overweight herself, but in good health otherwise. No diabetes or any other issue. I haven't gotten far in the book yet, but basically she's saying that having some extra pounds shouldn't be something frowned upon in society, especially when a person is otherwise healthy. She writes about her experiences as well as others'. There's a lot of medical facts and research but also funny quizzes...i'm not sure i'll finish the book...
Progress as of today: -2 lbs lost so far, only 6 lbs to go!

________________________________________________
Plans are to do all my laundry so i'm super prepared for the Holiday week ahead as well as the beach tomorrow with my friend Christine :-P Super happy. And tomorrow should be a beautiful day at the beach! It's really nice beach days all the way yesterday thru Tuesday coming..so i'm happy to be there tomorrow...and Wednesday the 4th looks cloudy so i'm not yet sure of my plans. Ricky invited me to see a movie at his place, and i may take him up on his offer!!
Last night the beach worked out perfectly with some Shuffleboard and a free concert that we only watched a little of - we mostly walked and played shuffleboard :) Makes me content with refraining from doing cardio today as i'm enjoying some rest and relaxation at home!
Tonight is the gym - so it gets done 3x a week is always the goal.
oh, and sometime today Ricky said he's stopping by to hang one last piece of wall art for me!! cheers! I love my beautiful apt, more beautiful thanks to both the ideas of Christine & Ricky.
Progress as of today: -2 lbs lost so far, only 6 lbs to go!
we have a chance of a very cloudy day Wednesday. if so, i'll stay home and do cardio...and watch a movie with ricky that we rent. we didn't end up hanging my picture today, but we watched a movie we found in the Red Box...it turned out great, i think it was called Gringo
Totally planned to sleep in - did it successfully.
Late Breakfast: wrap 100, half avocado 160 with garlic/salt, egg 100, coffee 50. 400.
Lunch: chickpea salad 300?? a coworker gave me and tomatoes 100 (lots).
Snack: almonds 100? later a decaf coffee 100 extra milk.
Naan 150, beef burger 200, lots of Indian veggies in a little sauces 400. 750 1750
cookies, come beer 2050 total
Week ends at 2100 per day - decent.
_____________________________________
Dinner: veggies and Indian food....tbd...friend wanted me to pick him up some too...at home, i'm planning on a wrap with indian veg and some deli meat! Ricky will join me for dinner too!
_____________________________________
Went into work late on purpose (made up most of the time lol...little bad today on purpose...). Happy to sleep in bc my workout got started really late last ight at 8pm, home around 10pm from gym. I had gotten drenched in the rain walking home without a jacket/umbrella (clothes still hanging wet at home today since last night!). so i relaxed and had a nice light drink of a large can of "Spindrift" water - my new favorite! I sweeted it extra with Stevia of course. Tastes like delicious soda - Strawberry flavor...so i went to gym really late, had a banana for a little energy since my snack was around 5:30 and now it was 8pm starting my workout. Everything worked out last night and sleeping in helped me so much, although i did feel completely dead walking to the bus and on the train, i feel better now at work.
I don't have much work today - my superior is on vacation and i finsihed my assignments. i can review, for sure, for my own clarification and knowledge of what i did though..but first writing to you all and relaxing lol...i don't think today is a day that requires too much work here at work from me - I am seriously taking it easy...and i plan to enjoy the weekend and the beach on the 4th...and not be really tired like i have been for past holidays, etc.
______________________________________
Tonight after work I'm going home first. Bringng home Indian food to share with Ricky as he requested it since i am always saying how good it is at this particular takeout spot right on my way home near the train where i work in city now...so i'll get that food and take it on my hour commute home haha...i do this frequently bc i like this food and like eating it on weekend.
We have NO INDIAN restaurants where we live directly in my neighborhood that i'm aware of - we have to drive over 20 min to get to them - sometimes 30min. So having this one good Indian restaurant in the city is a blessing. There's one more, but it's not as reliable with it's offereings bc it's smaller and a lower quality. but i like that there's two options. Two Indian restaurants in a big city in the area where i work is NOTHING. Indian is NOT popular everywhere yet. It's mostly popular in the neighborhoods where Indian (and related ethnicities) live - which is not in MANHATTAN...but is in areas of Queens that are like i said 20-30min from me. And those places are GREAT in Queens. Very popular in some neighborhoods.
After we eat dinner, Ricky and i are going to a concert at the beach! It's free! Parking is free too! It's at a smaller bandshell. The music is a cover band that is known to be pretty good and playing Beatles songs! They call themselves the Liverpool Shuffle. And speaking of shuffle, i'm hoping to also get a few rounds of shuffleboard in before the concert starts :) They have shuffleboard courts at this beach - it's called Jones Beach and highly popular and huge public beach on LI that has just about everything!
So we'll get home late tonight, and i plan to sleep in again tomorrow. Saturday will be low key - laundry / small food prep - with gym in evening (keeping the routine!) and Sunday i'll be with my old friend Christine at beach all day/dinner on way home...and go to bed in time to wake up for work Monday morning! I may also do some cardio Saturday early based on how i feel.
Weekend is looking fantastic..
Progress as of today: -2 lbs lost so far, only 6 lbs to go!
Well done on the calories too!
I hope that your weekend will include cardio - reach for those goals!
thank you Donkey. i'm feeling much better than usual.

Please help me all:
I NEED MAJOR ADVICE on how to deal with my issue at work with new coworker that just moved into my office but i'm actually her friend around 4-5 years and have actually hung out socially with her:
2 comments she joked and was sarcastic about, and i will NOT be taking that sh*t all the time:
1. "You are cold because you need to do more work - if you worked a little more you wouldn't be so cold"
2. "Why you heading home now !? You have no kids at home waiting for you..." (when i left at my standard time)
Her words are soooooo uncalled for. I would NEVER make comments like that towards anyone, tho it's better she say it to me instead of about me. I may just let her keep on saying things and let someone else call her out on it, actually. I think she does it so that she can feel better about herself, being moved into a new office (she's very new to everything just like i was a couple months ago) and she probably is feeling threatened and is needing to act all "macho" and aggressive is my guess (she's VERY aggressive - her body is more man than woman - not being mean i'm just saying this is DEFINITELY the scenario - i can smell it...) so maybe i'll just be easy on her, though, her language to me has got me in a tizzy.
She's around 42 and with myself being 35, it is SO DISRESPECTFUL to make condescending jokes on anyone let alone at work telling me in front of my other coworkers that
1. i am not a good worker
2. i should stay late bc i don't have KIDS / not married!
well let me tell you something, how darn rude that second comment is - i dealt SO MUCH with this when i first started working and if anyone EVER tells me that i cannot go home at my normal time or comments like all bc i am single i should stay....OH...there will be some balls or breasts to freaking smack. well...let me tell you, i used to work HOURS AND HOURS of OT and got sick FROM IT..literally sick and out of work a month...nobody will EVER tell me i cannot leave at my scheduled time bc i have no kids...let alone another woman who cherishes finally her freedom. She needs to cool it with me - she cannot continue this. i had a lot of male bosses previously who were keen to say, "oh, well, you don't have kids so you can stay..." this is not cool on any level with me bc of past comments. i'm going to watch to see if she keeps going....bc she cannot say these things with my permission.
she's actually divorced WITHOUT full custody of her son bc she chose to pay child support bc she wants the freedom to be able to do some of the hobbies and things that she wants, including teaching an apprentice class. good stuff. she has also written an autobiographical type of book. but, don't you see how her saying a comment that i shouldn't get to leave makes no sense!? i could tell her such cruel things...about her deciding it's ok to not even have her kid live with her during the week...! like, she needs to stop with me. i will not say that to her, but i swear i'm gonna put an end to it.
about this woman, i said earlier she's actually a friend (not a close one). she likes to party way harder than me and drink and eat more. I prefer not to hang with her socially late and drinking as it does nothing good for me....but i have done a few social things with her. and she actually invited me to her bbq which means i'd have to sleep over as it's over 2 hours away so it'd be a weekend big deal...i was eager to go, but this scenario makes me think it over, this situation of her two comments today leave me with a VERY SOUR taste in my mouth.
How would you deal with her?
I'll tell her I'll leave at my scheduled time when i want to leave at my scheduled time and i don't answer to her.!!!!!!!!!!! i'll have to say it. i'm not taking her words again, especially in front of others.
Progress as of today: -2 lbs lost so far, only 6 lbs to go!
she has a lot of physical back pain and things going on with her. she may just have taken it out on me. i don't know...but she's been very nice to me since Tuesday - with her giving me some food for lunch yesterday and today asking me if i wanted to walk outside with her...i think she was just getting used to it over here.
This is not a friend.
I think she's suffering now with some anxiety with a new position and stuff -
Today she was basically really nice and offered me food she knows I like - I think she's nervous so acting even louder and saying more comments without thinking than typical. I know she's exhausted ..
The tone and intent of the 2 comments you mentioned are probably much more important than the comments themselves. I admit they're "weird" coming from someone new to the office, but maybe she's hoping since she already knows you that talking with you will somehow calm some of her stress.
I'm a guy. And I obviously don't know the tone that the comments were delivered in. So if I received the comments from another guy that was a casual friend, I probably wouldn't care much at all. In fact in my circle of friends, the closer you are, the more grief you usually give each other (light-hearted kidding of course). Maybe she not only has physical features resembling a guy, maybe her mind actually tends to work like one also.
Again, my disclaimer is that I'm a guy. Things may work differently between women (and I'm sure my wife would probably see things differently here).

For some reason, maybe i need less sleep lately i don't know!? probably i do need it...but i told my coworker i'd come a half hour early tomorrow...so i guess i'm just having difficulty balancing work and home right nnow and relaxing...idk...but for the past 3 nights i'm constantly waking up - tho - the two nights before this one there was some caffeine in the mix, so this i'm SURE is lingering sleep effects!
I've been able to work OT and i plan to come 2 hours late to work on Friday instead of taking the day fully off...I'll save the day to use later in the summer, most probably. I want to sleep in a little bit on Friday bc i'm going to a concert that night. So instead of getting up at like 6, i'll be able to sleep in till like 7:30-8. works for me.

_____________________________________________
yesterday i was so lazy at home, no exercise, after i saw my friend. ended up emotional eating a little bit....tonight i am eager to exercise again....in my head i know i can improve a LOT if i PRACTICE!
despite horrible eating yesterday due to just being lazy / tired / bored - i haven't really been gaining weight lately or it's been too slow a gain to notice since i have been watching my cals and not still increasing them...it's just a really slow decrease...as i'm happy to be able to eat more right now...eat what i enjoy...not feel deprived...not really gain weight so fast or noticeable...i guess it's the cardio that i should do, then!...........
i keep forgetting that if i add cardio, my weight will manage itself...this is fully what happened last summer - it was awesome. i could basically eat what i wanted and even i think 2200 cals didn't put pounds on !!!!!
Progress as of today: -2 lbs lost so far, only 6 lbs to go!

2day 2150 today I relaxed no exercise
Didn't go to bed until 12:30 bc I was high on caffeine and full after working out and dinner at 10 lol...But workout was good and I slept until 7:30-8. I might clean my closets briefly this am and throw out clothes I don't wear :) bc having too many clothes means they are get wrinkles in the closet bc the clothes are packed in too tightly !
Progress as of today: -2 lbs lost so far, only 6 lbs to go!
Instead of throwing away your clothes, please consider donating them or even dropping them off to a resale shop. Let your fashion live through others :-)
Also feels so good finding old office shirts that are quite nice. i found a lot of black blouses that work great for NYC office styles....i def have SO MANY shirts, only thing i need to buy are a few more office dresses.

I agree with your not dieting....I think from what I understand is that you really are more interested in building muscle and strength...muscle weighs more...so the scales may not be so relevant....you are in GREAT shape!!!! Your FB pics are not showing any fat at all.....GO YOU!!!!
yeah it's more about strength as my weight is not very far from what i'd ultimately want to be - it's not even really a difference of more than 5 pounds. it's really an issue as you said i want more strength and ability to run in my legs as well as increase my heart's capacity to power me thru a jog. YES...it's much more important right now to work on my fitness :)
but i do have a little "flab" at my stomach area and when i put in work at gym, it's annoying that i am not burning all the calories i eat to keep my stomach even flatter. BUT, i'm not about to really lower calories a lot. so this is where i am at :) in general i'm happy. just don't want to gain more weight, because still i gained just under 5lbs from my lowest, and it's really easy to just keep gaining!

Good job! I appreciate that you model positive choices.
I do make right choices sometimes :) THANK YOU!

Were you able to leave work early? My boss had everyone staying until 5pm... Something was up; he was in a bad mood in the morning.
5pm that is very stinky. i have a nice boss when it comes to holidays. i think the office in Queens gets out at 2pm...we got out at 1pm. i am glad - got a ton more activity in after work. sorry you had to stay for the full time.
