______________________________________________
I woke up on time. Car was parked very close to apt so even though i left late for work, i was on time! and even got a spot in front of work building instead of using work lot. nice for a change of pace! no difference really though in parking on street vs at work but was able to walk a block instead of just walking from lot into building. felt nice being outside for a moment!
Tonight i have to stop by the union to pick up my insoles that i got fitted for a month ago in addition to my new glasses that have been sitting there waiting for me to pick up for 2 weeks now! lol. the appt is close to home - a ten minute walk - i may even walk there - but might just swing by in car on the way home bc i am resting my legs mostly right now and do NOT plan and will not jog this week. Legs still not fully rested from the trip! And this is what i planned for, so i am 100% ok with this.
Just glad to go to gym yesterday, as planned, cooked eggs and turkey burgers, did all laundry except sheets, added extra money to laundry card....and even went out to dinner and dressed in a dress bc weather was warm with my friend ricky and met his friend...beautiful day yesterday, full, felt like a vacation. so thankful to be friends with Ricky. He brings excitement into my life!

I may take a nap since i feel a bit groggy. I slept really well last night :)
Planning on gym early maybe even before a bigger lunch.
Nothing else needs to be done except putting $20 on my laundry card later since the office is open & I am home I should just top off the card so it remains full for awihe!
I want to relax most of the day and use the bathroom as often as I like....relax my body and get it back in fully working order and release whatever was backed up lol. I didn't poop the whole trip more than a few pebbles and have been using the bathroom since my return but still i feel i have more to go - sorry for the extra info. I did take things during the trip to help me go but the nerves of travel still prevented it!
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!

I have prepared food that i picked up wednesday night last week (just veggies) for today. And everything is set for me to go to work.
I slept decently due to taking a sleeping pill with an alcoholic beverage before my last 3 hour flight from Florida to New York which was from 8:30pm until 10:45pm. When I got home around midnight, I didn't even unpack aside from my money going back in my wallet, get my house/car keys in order and putting some cleaning products back in the bathroom.
Going to work an hour early because i have to leave an hour early for an important dr appt that i do not want to skip / miss / reschedule. I just need to get it done and so that's the plan for today!
Tomorrow I took a vaca day to do laundry, but not run around like a maniac which is why i scheduled the appt for today and not tomorrow on my day off. I may go to the gym tomorrow if my legs are not as sore. I have some very tight mucles right now. I also have to pick up a hair more food tomorrow, maybe. maybe not!
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
Take care of your legs! Warm showers, gentle stretching, heating pad? Or maybe go the cold route with ice packs and frozen towels? Hope you're ok.

Left work at 1:30pm...picked up food that'll be for when I return after the trip for Monday's lunch and it'll prob even last till Wednesday when I return.
Also went to library to check in for tomorrow's flight and print boarding pass since my computer at home hasn't been hooked up to the printer and printer may not work...so did this at library. I would have done it at work but I didn't have my passport with me & I needed it to check in.
Now going home to pack and hopefully relax. I don't want to be up late tonight as I'll be getting up around 2:30am to get ready for leaving my apt for this trip. I'll get picked up at 4:30, so maybe i'll get up more like 3am. :)

Leaving work at 2pm to go home & pack (it's actually the first night of the Jewish New Year so this is my excuse to leave to boss). Works out quite well thankfully.
Want to be finished packing by 6pm.

Does your fasting allow anything other than water?
no only water...but its only a day, 24hrs, and i'll be around my parents. so it's better than doing it often or while out of house.
we watch the services on tv bc they are broadcasted on a channel they get. so we can sit in pjs at home on couch and fast.
bearcountrygg on 09/29/2017:
Sounds like a nice day with your parents, and I agree, it's better to fast when you aren't alone.....
yes. as kids, my family would take us to temple, but now we aren't involved with a congregation and being home is good for the few times a year we celebrate holidays.
yes, better when NOT doing it alone. :)
Donkey on 09/30/2017:
Happy Yom Kippur, although I realize it's not really a happy holiday but more of a somber or reflective occasion. I still wish you well :-)
Thank you so much sweet J!!!! I wish you to be feeling much better soon - I read your entry and will comment when I am more energized :-)
