I am working in a backstabbing company. blows. some people would rather be witches. i'll never, ever understand the point of bullying, hate, and awful people like the ones that tried to get me out of this company. it hurts me to see the evil some people possess. sorry, but i'll speak my mind here.
hardly any caffeine before gym last night and i slept well...i am trying now to work on caffeine habit.

eating, i will not let the habits come back to full out bingeing like i used to a long time ago - i like my smaller body that tends to fit nicely into clothes....
i am sad to have to dial back my weights routines on weekend - bc i need to jog....i have decided it's better to dial back my socialization even more, before only going to gym 2 days instead of 3. ...
it's becoming hard to fit in the jogging alongside weights routines. a bit much. but i can socialize less right now...the important thing for me is jogging.
sorry i've just had to start thinking about scheduling these new habits.
i'm reading more on success and stuff and habits and the book suggested it's not the goal that your getting to that's important but of course the PROCESS and that we must schedule.
so for scheduling the jogging, i took looked at my big desk calendar and scheduled 1day only per week of jogging this month. June will have 2days per week. and July will have 2-3 days per week of jogging and always the length of my walk/jog will stay at 2miles. August also will be 2-3 days a week.
Then, sept-december i'll change mileage only slightly up to only 3miles. No more. I have no desire to ever run more than 3miles. and only up to 3x week.
this is how i scheduled my goals.
this is what the article showed me. if i didn't read the article, i wouldn't have come up with that plan above and schedule for jogging. i have faith in myself.
article also said, along now with a new book, to have confidence in your decisions that you make.
1740-4day.
I have a very tight schedule and very stressful week to be extra careful of my actions. trust me. not simple as it seems.

like i said previously, my workplace is not a healthy atmosphere. people are concerned for their jobs and everyone is making an effort to keep their jobs. lots of layoffs. lots of issues. too many people in upper management. too many workers also.
life has turned to everything being more precise. learning and keeping things efficient in my days and effective. ... life turning to more regimented routines of showing up at work even earlier, before 8am, to know what is going on & stay on the tips of my toes.

The thing i've been doing well is sleeping, i have been getting mentally extremely exhausted bc of the work stress and stuff. It's caused me to sleep around 10 hours per night at least, without any sleeping pills. my body is seriously exhausted over thinking about this work stress.
High stress week. have to behave like an angel, but even better. prob shouldn't even log in here, but i am.
WORKED HOUR OVERTIME - NO EXTRA PAY. its ok - glad to have a job as my company is in total turmoil.
the environment at my work is not healthy. people are scared / anxious to even speak to one another. I cannot hardly get outta my seat without worry. it's sad. it's like we're back in the triangle shirt factory historical times when workers have no rights except to shut up and work.
it's horrible. even the bosses walk around angry...i'm thinking of one in particular - he never smiles, lol. and his face is always red and flushed, lol.

Got a lot of cleaning done this Sunday AM and laundry. Also some bills.
Yesterday My training at park was good. I ran/walked 2mi. I'll keep doing this couple times per week and I am thinking to reduce weights right now to 2 days / week actually. Yes. I'll keep my weekly weights of Tuesday and Wednesday and concentrate on jogging practice on the weekends and try for other days during week to at least walk like one day during the work week. In total, 4 days exercise per week with 2 weights and 2 cardio.
That's my limits of what I know I can handle for now. I'm confident I can do this type of training schedule.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
going to park for my 2nd ever jogging training with walking. gym is going to be skipped this weekend on purpose. i am taking a much needed rest - and choosing the park over the gym instead of jogging / walking and gym.
I need the rest....need to feel good after a very, very difficult week, again.
i went by a bank that was open to desposit a large refund check that couldn't be done digitally (had to be done in person at bank) and then i went to pay for a new gym in full that is close to home because i am no longer, stopping cold, going to any gyms by work because i want nothing bad associated with me - i used to park in work parking lot in evening, i was allowed, and went to gym near work but now i'm afraid to call any attention at all to myself. so, instead of having my 1 gym near work, i've chosen to go to only (1) gym and it to be close to myself. I also indulged in my choice of gym and chose the most expensive and closest one to where i live. I needed a break from the one that was 15-20 away (that one's price was around $380) and now go to one that is only 10min away with great parking options around.
I needed a break. I needed something new and fresh - and the was in a gym. I paid on a credit card, $575 and will have to pay it back. with no other money problems currently, it should be ok. Plus, i have access to 3 gyms (this new gym $575 has 3 locations), one being near where I might be working starting January (NYPD) which is the goal because after Jan I'm out of the running - application expires.
The gym by work was only going to be less than $200 per year, a Blink Fitness. but, like i said, i don't want to do anything (including going to a gym) near my work. I am simply looking to leave work ASAP every day. and not leave my car in the work parking lot after hours. nobody told me to stop, but i am on my own stopping with gyms by work. so, expensive gym here i come.
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
I'm reading "expensive" to mean "fancy" or "bells and whistles" which is really nice to have for yourself.
The expensive gym actually has NO amenities aside from a sauna! And it's small and I am not even going to use it - never did but maybe I'll start - prob not.
There are no gyms in my community so they charge high rates. No amenities but equipment is new and nice as they just renovated it last year. It is nice the gym is only 10 minutes away :-)
It's good for now - but no amenities and can u believe it's $600/year!?
I will read your fb comments. I've been feeling quite anxious regarding work lately. I am trying to relax and take a breather instead of opening my mouth. It will be a challenging week bc the person I am assigned to assist specifically told me he doesn't want to be in charge of any projects ! And he hasn't been directing which is why I opened my mouth Friday.
Me and him have a project due and our boss is on vacation this week in Turks &Caicos ! And the other boss is headed for vaca on Wednesday with our project due Friday. We will prob have to rush to finish it now by Wednesday but I do not think the person I assist is at all capable of steering this project correctly. I will only work under him anyways and not direct anyone else. But this week I still def headed for disaster.
I think my boss wants to fire the person I am to assist. I also think my boss didn't want me at my job this coming week for the specific reason that he wants a staff where the full staff is capable of finishing projects on their own - not people like me who can only assist and people like the guy I need to assist but he isn't capable of directing (he has some social issues / anxiety stuff). So bc out sept is rather small, smallest it's been in 7 years since I have been here, the boss wants only people he can give a project to and not expect them to ask him any questions. He doesn't want to administrate he wants us to get the work done and not need to deligate. I do understand and realize the dept is not where I want to be for the long run as the atmosphere has changed and the boss' desires are diff from the previous boss.. no longer does the current boss want helpers like me. He wants only seasoned pro's who can do the whole thing on their own. It makes sense with the climate of my office and industry and another reason for me to keep my personal focus on the jogging and you know what for January. My workplace is like a war zone each week.

Work bar was a very healthy natural bar. lazy to make breakfast. expensive like $5 bar!!! it's called Gary-Null CoCo Magic Bar. high fat, some protein, some carbs. takes away appetite really well, actually. change of pace and rewarded myself last friday when i picked these up...after a month and a half of work BS...i have been treating myself really well buying those bars and kombucha instead of ACV in seltzer drinks in AM. :-)
20 min stroll after parking at work - got my cardio in before work - nice...needed to stretch legs!
Work has been good all week so far. I don't expect it to go downhill this week, at all.
I did speak to my boss, the nice one,about OT and how if I do work it, I need to have it pre-approved (and i don't plan to work it unless it's an emergency). hardly anyone, on their own free will, will give extra work with no extra pay. that's stupid. NOBODY in their right mind is going to waste extra time at work for NO PAY. so if they want me working late, i'll ask if i will be paid for it when they ask me to stay late.
after 1.5mo of b-****, work has settled down for me in terms of the b-**** thank gosh! i'm a happy lady.

I will ALWAYS SHOW UP ON TIME TO WORK....YES! I was on time today, 8am (actually more like 7:45am i pulled into the work parking lot bc i focused on my driving LOL...and did excellent despite some traffic!)...nobody else was on time :-D
I am starting this week fresh. I looked up in my union agreement manual - says no matter what if you make over 45k, you should be compensated for your hours. So, even if salay worker as I was told i am starting this past Friday, any overtime should be compensated for, according to the handbook. EXCELLENT. I will use this document to my benefit as soon as someone (like my bosses) feel the need to bring up the topic, again.
We are now really in Spring, in my opinion :-)
Need to pick up extra veg on way home...maybe also turkey meat. not enough food as my ground turkey spoiled and had to throw out last night.
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
It's good that you are a union member. I certainly hope you're compensated for ALL the hours you work!
Happy Monday! :)
