2175 4-day average. tired day.
Home: kombucha (didn't work - lately i'm a bit blocked up sorry tmi) 60

saving banana for later and will enjoy with some cashews 220 (too much sugar to eat banana...i seriously need to quit a bit of my sugar to get my body feeling better i think...not quit all sugar, but especially in the mornings here at work while i sit at this desk, i don't think i need to eat all the sugars right now - i wanna get back to more higher fat items - like eating my eggs (and not peanut butter on a wrap) - i do feel much better after the egg and cheese and meat than when i eat peanut butter and i'm starving in two hours. seriously - try it - low carb wraps and an egg and 1 slice salami - i'm not rebuying the cheese...that's the end of it...now i'll toast my sandwiches without it and see how it fills me up - maybe with mustard or ketchup.

I am trying to stop constantly crossing my legs at work and trying to sit with them straight for a little while each day..or as long as i can take it...better circulation i think.

3day average: 2216 - won't help weight loss but it's a decent average. The thing i've learned is not to have a bad day and try to balance it - no - but to have many good days instead...and not have all these bad days. to work towards being more successful and careful. less chocolate. less junk.
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!
i can't complain, it was productive and i didn't overeat!
I'd rather see a higher daily caloric intake with healthy foods, than going back to binge-eating. Just my opinion, but trying to offer some perspective.
Slept over parents house on Sunday night and had a delicious dinner which also included a slice of a heavy mouse cake so calories may have been 2600 for the day...

1pm Pint of low calorie (yes was tasty) ice cream: 320 (totally starting to binge again...will need to watch myself...i think i'm getting emotional and feeling out of control) i'll be ok as long as i keep up with the gym and keep a regular schedule :)

_______________________________________________________
plans are good for today. looking forward to a relaxed but also productive 3-day weekend. No big social plans aside from maybe walking over to Ricky's apt and watching a movie with him. It's a really busy Winter with the class and keeping up my routine exercise so I am trying do what I want to do most but not overdo right now!
I haven't been eating well - eating too high calories for about 2-3 weeks and the scale is starting to show it. So, as usual, when i told myself that today i'd be really good - i've already indulged in the Lindt white chocolate truffles i have - i'm stopping buying chocolate for awhile now. Taking a break and not allowing it for myself at work bc it's gotten out of hand...
I have been productive this morning already cooked up some chicken / mozzerella sausages that were in my fridge - so i do not need to buy any proteins until Monday before the short work week (we are off Monday for President's Day!).
In terms of being productive, my plan is for two good workouts (today and Monday) and a bonus today of seeing where i am at on the Court Officer Beep Test. I'll set it up outside (just need a couple cones set up to mark 65 feet) and you run back and forth and must always get to the 65' before the "beep." It seems a challenging test and i just want to see where i am at right now...After lunch, i'll go also to the gym.
It's a little chilly out, but i don't plan to be outside too long - just to see where i am at with the beep test...I will really be trying to to a little cardio each weekend - whether it be jogging or walking or what have you.
With it being a busy Winter, I'm not looking to overdo this nice 3-day weekend.
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!
I find with certain foods, I can't have them in the house or I will eat them. Maybe not all at once -- getting MUCH better at that (yay!!) -- but still, if it's something I don't need to be eating on a regular basis, then once they're gone, I don't re-stock.
So lucky that you have Monday off. My office is open, and I have to be there, because 2 of the 5 assistants are on vacation. Plus we have a busy day of appointments, so I'll be doing the meet & greet.
I hope that you get a chance to run the Beep test. I'd be interested to hear your results :-)
i think i'm letting my mind get a hold of my body - starting to think to negatively at work all day...and it's affecting me at home - bingeing lately...so i'm going to work on it... :)
Ended the week poorly wiTh a small binge tonight 2600 total today.
Weekly avg: 2185 per day
omg happy friday...so happy for a break coming tomorrow..def sleep in day!
Home: kombucha 30
Breakfast: banana 120, wrap 60, egg and cheese all toasted 400, tea, coffee, and chocolate of course lol., later another chocolate (dark)...just relaxing here at work right now...some people out and some at meetings, quiet day right now in office.
Snack: cashews salt and pepper 200
lunch: healthy again from home - leftovers eggplant mix 100, lettuce 50, olives and spaghetti squash mix 100, wheat gluten (it's a protein) 250 : 500.
3pm pb crackers 200 - been craving them all day :)
1550 before dinner :)
I am gonna keep on with this (bringing a lot of my lunches from home)...may pick up extra food for dinner from the shop nearby at lunchtime during my walk - bc at home the food i have left is dull in flavor...need something to mix up with it..
______________________________________
I'm having a VERY tired day like if you gave me a bed to lay down on, i'd be back to sleep within an instant. I'm still sleeping like a log every single night of the week...my body is constantly using sleep to repair itself with the new workouts and all. Still it's like I can sleep for very long periods of tme - 10 hours. I'm happy to be able to sleep a lot this weekend & do plan to sleep in every single day - Sat, Sun, Monday we have off for President's Day.
My body is really sore today...because of new gym workouts still my legs are catching up and also i was doing errands all lafternoon yesterday after work - which i'm glad i did & just wish my body could "bounce back" better...i was walking just a little more after work ..got home a bit after 7 and was asleep by 8:30.

Morning :)
Home Kombucha 50
TASTY breakfast toasted in oven at work! wrap low cal 60, egg 70, cheese 100! one dark chocolate 50.
Snack: salt and pepper cashews 200, banana
12:30pm Lunch: was low carb and boy do i feel nice and light but full...i think i need (at least on days of less cardio) to perhaps rethink my lunch - and stop with the calorie loaded lunch that always include carbs...maybe i don't need as much as i think?..and maybe i'll get less sleepy bc today i feel GREAT after lunch! i actually feel ALERT! it's an amazing feeling! anyways, lunch was lots of Rutabaga which is a low cal root veggie in very light sauce like 150 tops i think for the veggie along with a small pork burger 200. total around 400 and clementine 50. 450 and light i feel so good, but i do feel full!
2pm dark chocolate 50
1150...meeting ricky at train on the way home to look at wall art & possibly also have dinner out (even though i have TONS of leftovers which should actually last until Monday)
since ending most energy drinks, def not drinking them daily, my skin is better. it's still not great though and has fluctuations...i am sure if i cleaned up my diet even more, my skin would also improve....
_____________________________________________________
I'm glad i showered right before bed and skipped that this AM to make the morning fast after a busy first half the week with activities going on every single night since Monday...but I'm still rushing to get ready so I know I need to get outta bed earlier.
It's not good to walk into work at exactly 7:30am on dot bc if there's any problem with the commute, i'll end up being late. It's better to have like 10 minutes to spare.
Very relaxed day with a couple coworkers at meetings and others out for the day...
Looking forward to eating leftovers tonight and getting to bed early so i can end the week tomorrow on a Positive Note feeling more rested on a Friday!
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!
Ginger kombucha got me off the diet coke for a while. Sometimes I backslide.
i do not find that stirring just a little bit will destroy bubbles...try it with seltzer also...nice job on working towards eliminating caffeine.
2190 5 day. sorta high.
Happy Valentines! Company provided bagels! They are very tasty! And i was able to toast mine! yum!

Love cashews, especially freshly roasted with large bits of salt on them. Love dark chocolate.
Unfortunately I have portion control issues with all of them, so have found it easier to just skip for now. Just another couple months and I'll try introducing them back in, hopefully in moderation.
i have new cashews with salt and pepper....and the black pepper helps me not eat as many bc it's not sweet...i realize i can make them on my own with salt and pepper lol ...
and the chocolate i started to buy mostly more for work - i thnk ghardinelli and lindt brands...individually wrapped..so i try to take one but lately it's increasing and i want another...i have to also work on portions...but they do say dark chocolate is healthy which is why i'm keeping with it (although i admit to buying WHITE chocolate and flavored other ones which do NOT provide a benefit! LOL)
for me, when i was first dieting years ago, i was much more strict. it takes years (for me approx 15 years) of learning - and still learning - the best foods and choices, etc., for holding my weight steady. right now i feel i gained, but hope it'll just go down without major restriction - as long as i'm active and bring calories down just a hair but not like 1200 or 1500 ...that's too low for me. I did used to eat that way, though.
i do also have portion control issues, so i also, especially in the past, was an "all or nothing" philosphy. i've changed a lot since reaching my goal weight which was always 115,of which i even am under it and love it.
Kombucha 60
Breakfast banana 120, wrap 60, cheese 100, egg 70: 350 - wow a lot of food for such low cals!...lol full but had a chocolate! 70
total so far: approx 470
snack: Peanut butter crackers package 190, coffee
lunch: all healthy for sure...from home i think i have rutabaga type of root veggie it was precooked from a specialty asian market by me (bought lots of food on the weekend - no need to purchase too much besides a dinner or two this week!) asian tofu flavored 100, tons of rutabaga 150?, and i think that's it?? might be forgetting something? 250...maybe coffee for dessert after..and some cauliflower in sauce 50, and chips 150 tops.450...
1150 after tasty lunch...snack clementine 50. AND CHOCOLATE 50
1250 :)
dinner: before class tonight...or even just a buttered roll and soup ...from deli. if they have split pea or lentil, that's my plan!!!
1800 after dinner...
after class: maybe nothing, sleep early tonight since last night was a late one (went to bed like 10:30pm and up at 5:15am...gets me way too tired to do this every night).
________________________________________________
Lately, I am enjoying my fair share of cheese! Mozzerella it is - since i have a small package to use up at home. At work we have a toaster and i was able to heat up egg and cheese on a low cal wrap...tasted AMAZING!
2050 total. I gained some weight around belly button area it's obvious so I will have to watch calories which is what I am doing better than the past few weeks :) specifically from eating too much on weekend.
2175 4-day
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!
Home: kombucha 60
Breakfast: pork burger (is filling at least, taste not so great...) in light wrap 300,chocolate 70, tea.
snack: banana 100 & chocolate 70 (idk, i really enjoy the chocolate / jell fillings)
lunch: all healthy from home: and a candy and a clementine. 500 total. later a coffee
snack: clementine / chocolate: 100
dinner: with Ricky before gym should be good..barley soup and some other things - good energy for lifting / workout out! prob around 500?
healthy total is 2050, excellent
snack after gym: yogurt and cranberries i am thinking! 200..and peanut butter 100.
Gym was great, but i was really bad today at the situps! i dont know why?! but my pushups were improved as were all my leg exercises.
I must continue to strive to do my best by keeping an excellent 3x a week schedule!
My phone is in my car and it's freezing out so i should probably get it....not happy to have to go back outside at 9pm at night...but glad it's in my car and not at the gym....
goodnight.
on another note, i'm going to stop chitchatting as much as work, don't need to cause a problem for myself bc i talk too much - that could be a disaster.
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!
we have everything...i'm in queens, one of the boroughs of NYC, so you bet that a good majority of supermarkets are going to have ground products - all of them.
there was nothing mixed in except maybe some kinda light preservative, i used some spices though def not enough of them...i have so much more port left, maybe i'll combine some cheese with my breakfast tomorrow also...going heavy...only one problem eating this for breakfast is that you don't get the "fast energy" of sugars / carbs...like you get from cereals and other fast carbs...but you do feel better as the morning passes instead of more & more hungry. i made small burgers, just a little bigger than those small "sliders" as restaurants call them.
I enjoy seeing your daily calorie totals because they give me something to look forward to in the fairly near future. I'm looking forward to upping my calories in a couple months when I switch to "maintaining". Once I hit goal, base daily calories to maintain is supposedly around 2300 calories for me.
Hello :)

2 day avg is 2300.
Ready to sleep early tonight
___________________________________________
I did a lot this morning: Dermatologist appt was at 9:30 to which i got to exactly on time! Then, i did errands all in walking distance: picked up a few things at the supermarket near dermatologist, picked up a free hand lotion with coupon at Bath & Body works, picked up some fancy food products at a specialty food market, looked at (but didn't buy bc nothing was really that nice) the wall art at Home Goods...
then drove to get gas on the way home & picked up some kombucha and then i was still hungry even though i had a hot dog while out for lunch lol...so i picked up lots of ready-prepared food at the place i buy kombucha. i haven't picked up this ready-made food for awhile...now, honestly, i shouldn't have to buy anything for lunch at work this week - i have SO MANY leftovers and also lots of fresh veggies in my fridge. i need to cut up the rest of the romaine that isn't yet wilted...had gotten it for the guinea pigs that never happened haha.
So i was out of the house 4 hours from 9am-1pm and got a ton done...i would almost take a nap now, but i'm more content to read a little, rest on couch, and when i feel better it's laundry time downstairs.
I'm content to rest up today before another full week ahead, including gym tomorrow night, class tuesday night, gym the following night again, followed by a night off any activities on Thursday & Friday :)
now i'm on the couch bc my legs are somewhat bothering me. i still have to do laundry and not sure if i want to go to the gym today to set up the running course since like i said it seems i might have minimal shin splints going on in my legs - or rather the muscles are just burning i don't know - from the excellent workout i did yesterday as well as the extra walking i do now everyday for communting - still getting used to it all.
right now i'm just starting to get used to the new exercise routine i do...which is why i am so sore. once i am familiar enough, that's when the running / cardio can come into play...next weekend is a 3-day of which i hope to use to DEFINITELY try the jogging out - i'll listen to it now to get familiar with what the "beep test" sometimes known also as "bleep test" sounds like so i can be overall more familiar with it before i try jogging / running it!
On a good note, my situps have improved already just a little bit since i started them probably around 2-3 weeks ago! My pushups have decreased in my ability probably mostly due to skipping many gym sessions. Overall i have improved with the new workout routine which is wonderful - i'm definitely better at it than i was the first week i tried the exercises. It's all about staying committed and consistant.
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!

Yes to not crossing legs...I sat on one leg for years...and still do when I forget...and I'm paying for it now with hip pain....I've been limping 100% of the time now for at least 3 months...definitely better to break those habits while you are still young.
lol, will now uncross my legs...it's def on autopilot over here ... even just stopping for a few minutes a day will be helpful on my end!
i hope some of your ice melts up by you!
