Feeling extremely happy and in control to start the week.
Low calories today also, as i've cut my cals for this morning. little hungry, but worth it for now. Takes a little sacrifice to stay slimmer. And i'm down with that!
10am snack too hungry, changed mind slightly. bar 130
Bigger / fattier high protein lunch: bag of bacon jerky 330 and a low carb wrap with cream cheese and sauteed pumpkin spread (a lot of it). 270 at least. total here around 600.
Maybe a plum on way home. 50
tonight - planning on a protein muffin 240, some of the sauteed pumpkin (some oil 200) with sf jello 50 - total here is 500 (def not more!)
total today is great - 1600.
3day average is excellent - 1660.
i may be taking off friday to see PAUL at the beach!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
___________________________________________
So with P. All is good with him...he's sorta opening up but being so strange with me. So on the phone he talks about babies. But he can't text me back still he's watching himself.
WTH...why is this guy unable to have s*x for s*x. He told me specifically over the phone that s*x will complicate things. But he makes things complicated now.
I honestly don't really want babies....not now anyways.
Why can't we go out....without thinking of babies.
Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
Planning on chilling / reading this morning...Happy Sunday to everyone!
9am Late Breakfast - Chocolate with peanut butter chips protein muffin and huge banana and 1 sf jello 400. seltzer with stevia also. Good calories.
snack before errands at noon: small bar 130
3pm Light meal of cooked veggies (with light sauce) and strawberries along with a grape flavored stevia (no cal) around 350-400 max for lunch.
950 - nice....keeping it low cal today....feels good to keep my weight down, really good.
before gym: Amy's tofu veggie sandwich 200. and the rest of my monster sf drink from this morning.
1150 before gym...keeping it low cal, for sure...if i want to, i can go really low - say 1450 today - which is a great idea!
after gym - kept it light. small bar 130, strawberries 100. around 250 most.
total today: 1400 - BOOM! excellent.
2-day average: 1685 = fantastic. GREAT work to me! (had some jello, added into this average)
________________________________________________________
Got a TON done this weekend - way more than usual in terms of errands and things to do. proud of myself and the choices i made!
Errands this weekend that are different than the usual ones i do:
1- Got good deals on bath and body works stuff...
2- Got movie tickets at the theater ahead of time to use my free movie coupons - needed to be done more in person than online :-D
3- Put air in my car tires, while it was drizzling!
4- Friend helped me put up a seahorse themed wall art....so nice of her!
5- Bought the LED lights i need for my track lights
6- went to TJ maxx and got a new bag (i've been using the same bag around 2 years (it was a Coach bag my sister gave me as a gift and i plan to bring it back to the store and see what can be done with it because the policy with coach is a warranty for life...), two dresses, and a few shirts.
The whole bill for the above items was $118 and i saved 10% by opening a card. Good stuff. $118 was after the 10% savings. $118 is good for around 10 items! All pretty necessary as i was running quite low on the basics and work clothes. I don't buy a ton...i used to shop much more while living with my parents. Now i just wait for a good day & get a lot and then wait quite a bit...very happy i got dresses....they will last me for a few summers! and any other trips, etc. I may even wear the dresses to work!!!!!!!!!
Feels good to do more this weekend. No more shopping now for awhile. some of the clothes are bought (shirts) will be good thru fall also. I got a good mix that'll be good for my wardrobe in general. it's always good to have some extra stuff for when a moment or event comes up where i need something, ya know?...def not convenient to have to run to the store because i couldn't just grab it from my closet. So i'm doing good with this!
_____________________________________________________
It's been a very eventful weekend :-D Got a lot done & still looking foward to a relaxing Sunday with the laundry already done yesterday wahoo. I'm glad my friend went with me to get some new LED light bulbs for my track lights as only 2 of the 4 bulbs remain working lol the others died...so all is good in the world!
Today i will try to find a dress, one last time, at TJ Maxx. I want to have a summer dress in my closet as on option for going out. I don't really own any dress that fits that i know of. Sundress i mean...
_______________________________________________________
Progress as of today: 4.4 lbs lost so far, only 2.6 lbs to go!
10am thru Noon / While doing laundry - Late Breakfast: 2 plums 100, cooked pumpkin mixed with sauteed onions and spices so good! 150 hopefully not too much more, kombucha 60 (can't wait to get rid of this brand! - forcing myself to drink & not buy it again! it's not that it's bad, just not as strong as the other brands i like...), and seltzer with stevia. total here: 310, excellent -
Lunch chips 260, wrap with pumpkin spread on it and some meat but meat wasn't tasty so took most of it off 350. Total here: 610
Snack: coffee and a coconut cookie 1050
Big Dinner: not more than 900.
total: 1950, MOST :-D
Everything was healthy so that's the point for today. I'm happy.
It will be a very low cal day today! Making it so...especially with the movie i am seeing, very easy to keep cals low today...happy to see my best friend today. She's helping me do a huge errand also....which is wonderful.
___________________________________________________________________
Had a chat with my fave guy last night. It was short, under 20 minutes, but really nice. We didn't run out of things to say. He had to go so i let him go. He's sweet as anything & he did confirm (not by actually saying it, but by the types of things he was talking about in general) that he does like me very much and does enjoy all my texts and messages. I know he likes me. And he just might be the one. I may one day have a VERY different life because of him.
But for now, I'll let things play out & we shall see what happens. It's still slow moving but there's no doubt I'll see him during the month of August. And, I'm sorry for TMI, there's no doubt we'll share some private special moments together. And I have no doubt that there will not ever be another man I will share moments like those, ever again with, after this man. I have a feeling, like i was saying, that he is the one.
He's letting his guard down a bit with me. And it's exciting...I used to worry about texting him too much and/or leaving too many voicemails, but now he didn't complain about it - at all. He likes them i know. And we are entering more of an "equals" phase where I know how he feels about me & i worry far less about being "a nuissance" or in general not being "on the same page" as him. I really do like this man, a ton, and by letting my guard down and telling him - that i like him very much, etc., it's been overall very helpful to my friendship / relationship with him.
Even if it doesn't work out, it will be the closest thing i've come to having both emotional and phyiscal intimacy with somone. I have never experienced being in love with anyone. EVER. And never experienced the feeling of really opening up emotionally and physically to the same person at the same time. He is the first.
Progress as of today: 4.4 lbs lost so far, only 2.6 lbs to go!
...someone at work told me "your life can change so fast...and sometimes it's unplanned and for the best..." he's right!
have a wonderful weekend D.
650 before lunch and so glad it's friday...i'll be outta here come 4:30 and maybe an oil change after work if i can...
....tomorrow no beach thankfully, i'll get some errands done - need to pick up lamps (specialty) at Home Depot...and will sleep in majorly...like maybe be in bed till NOON tomorrow. looking foward to it...and it was a good week here as well.
hoping to catch up with my man tonight. I love him...he doesn't know this. He's extremely guarded.
1350 after lunch...

Last night i worked 45 min late on my own clock and no extra pay purposely to finish something and feel good that i did....
and i took a 30 min walk last evening which is wonderful....
....but didn't sleep the best....
...and this AM, i am feeling like I just want to PUNCH SOMEONE IN THE FACE!
...no, not literally, but i'm in a bad mood. I'm in a bad mood because there's no distraction and i can't work alone everyday for this pay....
....my frustrations are actually a good thing....they are a KICK IN THE ASS TO KEEP PREPARING FOR THE ACADEMY.
I may actually push myself for the academy early if i have to....but trying to relax about it....till next summer which is seriously less than 11 more months of work as i'd leave beginning of JUNE...so...I'm good....
I CAN DO THIS.
Progress as of today: 4.4 lbs lost so far, only 2.6 lbs to go!
1000 after lunch, healthy day....
very lonely though. working by myself. boss is away on vaca this week!

after walk: another small fruit 50. and seltzer with stevia (had long phone convo with best friend...)

Progress as of today: 4.4 lbs lost so far, only 2.6 lbs to go!

____________________________________________________
Feeling pretty good this monday morning. Low key weekend with gym last night was what I needed this weekend. Legs are feeling ok. A good way to start the week!
I have a dr appt after work today so I will be leaving early at 3pm for it. - another reason to smile i'd say because my boss is once again out this week (he's retiring end of Sept so he's getting everything settled at home because he's moving upstate when he retires) and it may be a slow day and lonely one working only by myself with little distraction so i'll be happy to leave at 3pm.
3pm - That's a hair early - so I may actually both pick up vegetables for the week & get gas before my appt - i may take a cooler and ice pack to keep the food in my car from spoiling while at my appt. really thinking to do this because tomorrow i have gym & don't wanna get food and Wednesday is a little late...i may change my mind lol....and may just stick to getting to the appt!
3day = 1716

I am happy to be alone on the couch, doing my thing, most of this weekend. I do need an oil change though...so that may be one more thing to get done...maybe i'll do it after work Monday.

You sound good today. Have a great week J.
puddles on 08/01/2016:
How old is P? Sound to me that he only want to be friends and if anything happens then the friendship could be damaged. This is an outside look/opinion at what you have been writing about P and how he is acting. I think he is being honest that this will not/ever go there.
P is 45. I am almost 34. We're 11 years apart.
He likes me, i know. But he's so darn weird i can't take it sometimes!
He's the only guy i know that is so SLOW to act on sleeping with someone. I've known him a LONG time. well over 3 years i think. And we're finally getting together this year - after texting for like 3 years! but at first, he was my physical therapist. so we couldn't get together.
but then he took his sweet time determining if he really should meet up with me. and we eventually did. i know he likes me. i can tell by how he talks on phone.
i think he's just a bit set in his ways.
i don't understand why he needs to bring up babies to me.
Duaa123. on 08/01/2016:
I would if i can tell u my opinion but, i am feom different culture so i can't judge the situation correctly , i hope u the best with him
Thank you so much D :-D
It's good right now...even if of course i'm still waiting to see him since the end of May when we saw each other outside of workplace for the 1st time!
OhioRaven on 08/02/2016:
Is he, or has he been married ?
he's 45 and always single because (as i can tell) he's put his career first. he's pretty well-to-do. a physical therapist but also co-owner of the establishment. a big place, multiple locations (i think 2 or 3). he's the boss for several PT's under him...
so never married. no kids.
he's used to being boss, in control of his life complete, and very closed up emotionally. trying hard with him.
he's attractive. and kind.
and also very hard working which i admire. i like him all around.
OhioRaven on 08/02/2016:
Ok. So he's not secretly married. Ok then he's Gay because I've seen your pictures and there's no way a man would turn down what you've got to offer. Good Luck HP.
Thank you. I really would be happy with him forever. It's hard to take it this slow...really hard.
innerpeace on 08/02/2016:
Maybe he talks babies because his biological clock is ticking. 45 and single, he may be ready to settle down! who knows, men are weird sometimes. oh ok, most of the times.
