PHOTO BELOW: Fire Island Lighthouse, it's open to walk up if you want to, daily. we just went in to see the stairs, but didn't walk up. maybe another day or maybe never will i walk up it...we walked enough as is ;)
9/19/21 Sunday - out east on Long Island with parents :-) spontaneous plans, lots of walking most probably. maybe some photos taken :)
3 hours in sun.
9:30am breakfast: keto muffin i made yesterday 200, mixed with oatmeal/almond milk mix 150, coffee 50. 400.
snacks:chocolates 150-200
lunch:2:30 pizza approx 800? - parents and i ate halfway thru our hike/walk thru beach and beach towns. they are very fit to hold up. we walked for around 2-2.5 hours, resting a few times. (i rested the most, ha!)
snack blow pop, diet coke 50 (while driving home, getting gas, picking up a few things at supermarket)
dinner: salad with olive oil/vinegar 100 (just cucumbers and iceberg lettuce - using some things up before they spoil), part of a spicy pork sausage 100, a little more than 2.5 servings everything flavor ritz 250. 450.
1950...will stick with this; have some nice, stevia sweetened seltzer and go to bed around 9pm prob :)
9/20/21 - Monday - Sister's 36th bday! boy does time fly! (celebrating earlier? on weekend?) see about it.
Not much pre-planning to come....unless i start making plans with family/friends...i will sign up for another course after finishing Business Law. there's, i think, 2 months rest period between courses when i take them with Center for Legal Studies. so that's good. Overall, i have enjoyed all of them except 1. I have had all different instructors. All were good, except 1. I have, to date, had 4 different instructors. so that's great that all were great except 1 - hard to communicate with and course didn't include multiple courses of instruction like videos, etc, just a textbook and then the final and exams weren't even off it only...lol. all other courses taught exactly what they should have and i attained a lot of knowledge from taking part ;)
Will be trying to lessen days off and wait to take them until real Winter, as in January...if i have to take one or two before then - ok, but i don't think i'll have to.

9/18/21 Saturday - 9am-10:30am - Volunteering Cleanup @ Plumb Beach, Brooklyn Area. Decided not to drive there. wasn't in the mood for a sorta longer drive or to volunteer. slept in a little more....
Rather than cardio, I will do weights, upper and lower, today; possibly a cardio break today. I have a dentist appt on Tuesday at 6pm, so would rather just rest after that (hence doing weights today and again on Monday instead of tuesday)
did some laundry, may do some more tomorrow. (bed sheets, gp fleece)
Now onto Week 4 studies/work:
- Readings finished by noon. (DONE!)
- onto the videos - in progress at noon DONE!
- BB4 (bulletin board 4 assignment as they are called, students taking class can see others' answers after we submit ours - to compare and learn from other classmates) - easier assignments this week, DONE!
- Writing Assignment 4 - heavier assignment, worth more points than the BB assignments that are only with 10 points vs 100 points, i think, for writing assignments weekly. we cannot see others' work after we submit. ..easier assignment as well, DONE!
It would be nice to finish almost everything today...but i'm sure i'll need some time tomorrow as well..will be DONE!
8:30am First small breakfast: 2 of the keto choc pb cups 150, kombucha 50.
then, i did fall asleep later for an hour more....
11am meal after nap, 1 pancake 160, ran out of jelly, so had it plain as it was nice and thin and tasty like that; 1 more pb cup 80. 250 approx...may have a coffee also..50
12pm small lunch/snack: a leftover mashed potato/pea indian fried samosa. good size on it. 250? was tasty. since cals are low and i'm doing work, i decided to indulge and fill any "hunger."...since i really just had some food an hour ago. so that was easy to fill up easily...
1:30 snack: last of the peach gummies, plenty more gummies exist here though! 100...
2:30 while doing laundry/studying...got snacky and into the ritz everything coated crackers. over 3.5 servings. 350 cals.
4:15 a yogurt that was very sweet, LaYogurt a mango yogurt marketed to Latino community...they have many marketing/types and with varying calories. this one was def sweet! 170, plus one chocolate and one milano cookie 100.
Will exercise - full body strength workout soon :)

It's probably a good thing to take a break from pre-planning too much, although, to your credit, you've always allowed yourself the luxury of being able to cancel without feeling guilty, if need be.
Did you end up having a dinner last night? Or did you keep it kind of snacky? What is the brand name of the keto PB cups? You know, there are recipes online where you can make your own. I used to make a dark chocolate/peanut butter candy, when I was doing keto. However, rather than being separate, the peanut butter and chocolate were combined, melted, and then poured into an ice cube tray to freeze. So yummy, but they were called "fat bombs" for a reason.

9/17/21 Friday -
just shy of an hour cardio today; combining AM and PM. good. maybe closer to 45min, but putting down an hour for attempting everything! :)
bus didn't show up on time; so i walked back to my car and drove to work bc driving is shorter. I read one page of notes in my car; but it had so much info that i may need to re-read again. at least i got one page out of the 4 remaining read before work. I may read after work, in my car, before driving home; as well, in addition to a short walk after work. Already got 20 min walk in this AM. Will record all cardio time later.
Breakfast: large banana, 200, coffee, negl, wrap with cream cheese chive whipped 150...350..spread out over morning, didn't have wrap right away.
Snacks: chia bar 100
Lunch:salad 40, pork spicy sausage 160, olive oil/vinegar 100, popcorn 100..400 and parts of a pear that weren't bad. lol. 100.
950...
Snacks: tbd.none, didn't need, had a good lunch.
Dinner: came home and a new snack i ordered came. these keto pb cups which are great! dark chocolate. i meant to have 1, but combined with some jackfruit, i had 3 of the chocs and some kombucha; instead of a real dinner at 7pm....now i'm going to review my notes, before eating anything further. the chocs are 2 for 150 cal...so i had one more 80, 230 total, bag dried jackfruit 100, and kombucha 50. 400 tops.
1350
i have leftovers, tho not the best, from Chinese...i will maybe have tofu and eggplant, but have to cook the eggplant better - chinese left it hard and undercoked (maybe microwave or something quick).
9/18/21 Saturday - 9am-10:30am - Volunteering Cleanup @ Plumb Beach, Brooklyn Area. Later in day - Week 4 studies/work
I haven't made plans thru Thursday so far of the days leading into this weekend - or discussed any plans with friend, so i don't plan to see her this weekend.
I will continue studies, do this volunteering; and head into the coming week on a strong note!

That's too bad about public transportation not working out today. I guess there were a whole lot of people late this morning who rely 100% on the bus. When I was a commuter, my motto was, "I hate the bus." Even the L was better than the bus.
I'll write more about this in my own entry today, but doesn't it just seem as though available time is so short?
once i take 6 total advanced classes, i get a certificate from a college of my choice of listed schools that give the advanced paralegal certificate. i am not sure i want to "stop learning" right now...i kinda just want to learn what i can; about law/paralegal...especially in the Winter when the weather isn't great for being outside for a long time, anyways...and i'm not traveling now; so it's perfect...
but like you say, maybe it's time for a paralegal break; and i take the 3 classes for the advanced management degree from the state school...3 courses only..
Ohh, I didn't realize that about the certificate. And that's a good point about winter. As long as you do get a break, then I think you'll be fine. (I don't think it needs to be a "paralegal break", either - just time to rest. It might be better to keep up with the paralegal right now. After that accounting class, paralegal is a welcomed reunion, LOL.)

9/16/21 Thursday -Taking Vaca Day 9.
Today's Goal is to: Complete the midterm - in progress (took a nap in the middle, paused it on purpuse to do so...)..a LONG test. DONE!
Today's other main goals: finish the week 4 reading that is 50% done already, videos, BB4, and Writing 4 ahead of time & submit.
You know, once i got into this course, it became more manageable, especially by taking a day during the week to do the readings on public transport. So, I will continue to study these paralegal courses. I was never reimbursed like i thought i'd be for the courses i took previously, because i didn't do it before the end of 2020 when i paid for everything. However, if i take anything now, i can apply for reimbursement this year for courses paid for this year (must apply within the year i paid for the courses).
So it would be good to continue to study these paralegal courses, continue learning the basics of these different areas of law as I do learn best when taking a course and not just studying on my own. Plus,i can be reimbursed with anything i pay for this year. This current course, i prepaid last year as well.
9am Breakfast: coffee 50, banana small 130, pancake 160, jelly 60....400....
Snacks: took a nap...was feeling very tired and was doing midterm, finished the mutiple choice portion and got 1 question of the written out part done...but once i read the second question, i decided it was going to be lengthy and a nap would suit me...midterm can be started/stopped as many times as i want, so it's still in progress but i'm glad i attended to more than just studies today!!!
12:45pm Lunch: iceberg lettuce with very light dressing mostly lemon juice 100, leftover bbq chicken from parents white meat 200, 3 milano cookies 200. 500.
3:30pm-4:30pm HEALTHY Snacks: the small amount of roasted brussel sprouts i made, had to throw a bit away bc they didn't all remain good in my fridge after a few weeks! 100. glad some survived bc it felt good to eat something healthy. i need to up my veggies in general and drift away from being too into processed-foods - i think i'd have more energy! also had some of the roasted butternut squash when it was ready. 150. feeling better just for eating better today :) def a recharge day!!!
4:45pm Early Dinner: following above veggies, a broiled, very tasty spicy sausage 150....will have some carbs after it...few healthier variety of chips that were remaining in the bag 100, dried jackfruit no sugar added100.
6:30pm 6 of those really soft peach gummies. 150 before finishing the midterm that was actually quite a long test.
1650.
so, no moving onto week 4 studies, but i will watch the short videos tonight. and tomorrow i plan to take public transport to read the second half of the reading materials. so i'm in a good position to get week 4 finished on the weekend, which is great. it should be done on time :)
as i also spent time exercising and cleaning today, i feel used the day decently well. i slept a lot last night as well as had a nap today. so some of the portion of the day was spent not doing much. i think i spent at least 2.5-3 hours (tops, i don't think it was over 3 hours, at all) on the midterm, seems like enough time to me for one day.
9/17/21 Friday - Public Trans - do Week 5 readings to get ahead! (and stay ahead) - will try to finish week 5 readings & assingments this weekend, so that i'm a week ahead bc week 6 has the final also, so it will take me a long time and i want to have extra time available when i get up to it!
9/18/21 Saturday - 9am-10:30am - Volunteering Cleanup @ Plumb Beach, Brooklyn Area.
I haven't made plans thru Thursday so far of the days leading into this weekend - or discussed any plans with friend, so i don't plan to see her this weekend.

Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!
sometimes i admit i just want to close my eyes and relax, so i do that also, but i really try to make use of some of the time - because it's perfect time for reading.
the midterm can be assessed up to the end of the course - there was a note saying it closes on oct 8th. however, i would never do that! i'm just glad i'm only a day late...
but yes, you can open and close the midterm as many times as possible, but you will not be graded until you submit it. then, you can no longer adjust it.

May add in a little more, like 15 min, on the way home....try to leave work and get on train at a different point...instead of the underground stop, i want to get on at the overhead/above ground spot around 12 blocks difference. that would be 15 more min walking, too.

2020 good. glad i stopped eating after the gummie candies!
I doubt i'll start the miderm tonight, more like just do it late, after Wednesday due date on Thursday (just a day late, whatever!) to go to bed early, get rest, and get thru another work day on Wednesday. if i do have energy, i'll start midterm...tbd, honestly!......yup!
Public trans read week 4 materials AND do the Midterm (at least start it tonight, after work, push forward!) - it's worth it, to get reading in for Week 4 so on Thursday I can do week 4 homework and not only be reading/watching week 4 videos - but actually able to do the assignments, ahead of their due dates!! 50% done with readings, i should finish either tomorrow or just do it on day off, Thursday...might take public trans again tomorrow just to finish my readings!

I never did turn things in late in college, basically always did the right thing also in grad school, etc. even did the right thing for most of the other paralegal courses i took, especially when i wasn't working, i was able to get work done ahead of time.
Yes, you are right. I may get a grade lowered on this type of course. I do not care, because the important thing is - is that i learn the topic for my own personal goal / growth.
also, my job is more important to me. and i know my commute is long. i would rather get sleep, than be up all night studying. those are my reasons.
if i were to get an F, i would def not have this approach. so since i'm not getting an F, it's easy for me to have this current mindset ;)
I feel that my relationship (whatever that means) with Male Co-Worker is somewhat similar, even though it's a work relationship (and probably will never be more than that). He's always been dramatic, but it was enjoyable and/or relatable. Recently, his negativity has either increased, or I'm more sensitive to it, or both. Rather than following along, I've been seeking my own path, and I just can't be around him too much or it starts to take me in a direction I don't want to go.
I know good friends are hard to find. Heck, ALL friends are hard to find these days. So maybe a little distance, a little time off, might pay off. Hey, kind of like weight-training, right? Think of it like having a week of light weights, light lifts - or complete rest.
will write on the above later, or maybe message you. it's not a major thing to deal wtih; as all is forgiven, but what you wrote about you and male coworker is exactly along the lines of why the breaks are needed. it is exactly as you wrote. about drama/negativity/just not the same views or desires so not helpful to me.

When studying, do you eat while studying, or do you take a break and have a snack? I'm only curious. I've been reading a book that I thought was one thing, but seems to be going in the direction of being more mindful when eating. I'm not preaching to you, because this is a HUGE problem with me at work. I was just checking in with you to see what you do.

Also, though, I understand the idea of, "Who wants to stay in and study the whole day?" I hope you find a way to get most of what you want to accomplish done today.

Today may be a cardio rest day; yesterday was approx 2 hours cardio.
In the early afternoon, i'm sorta celebrating the New Year holiday as everyone found it better to get together on a weekend instead of the actual holiday that ocurred Monday/Tuesday this past week.
After work yesterday, i took a walk in a new, but totally efficient in terms of getting home, direction. I walked to the street you all know - BROADWAY which is by my work. it's not near there theater district though. it's Broadway, the same road, but wayyy uptown in Harlem, not Times Square! anyways, it was lovely. found GREAT takeout restaurants, looked at the menus. I realized this can be a new way of heading home when i want some cardio; plus there's some really great veggie assortments as well as other food to try. I even found a restaurant on the water, on an old navy ship. the food all looks great. i could even do takeout from there; and eat on a nearby park bench after work. so many choices. so many nice new experiences yesterday. I was home a little after 7pm. relaxed and went to bed!

Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!
it's fall, "bday season!"
I'm glad that you had a nice time with your folks and family. Sounds like there was a lot of good food!
and turns out there's several welll known schools and even a music conservatory there...so there's good food also for all the professors/ students to enjoy. (def a reason why there'd be such a wonderful selection, i would think). because it also seems the food was near a housing project, and i don't think they'd be paying to go out to eat all the time. there's such a variety of living and apartments where i walked. i really loved it; and will def go back!
parents eat high quality (and pay lots for it too!) i love that i have some leftovers to eat this week.

Relating to yesterday's post, how are your ankles/legs feeling today after all of that walking?
a little tightness in left lower leg (back of shin) and ankle but nothing major at all! i do well when i do a lot of cardio followed by a day of rest or even two when i'm working. Saturday was very low key so Sunday worked out well. also, being that my dad did the driving, i was able to relax quite a bit on the way to the destination and back (and then drive home from parents). also, instead of eating dinner with them, i left my parents early to go home and relax. :) doing pretty well. and today is mostly rest day; no cardo.

The dentist and a meeting at the same time...UGH!
may not attend meeting at all, LOL. i guess the meeting would be easier to attend than the dentist....but now i'll have clean teeth LOL.

I need to take a page or two from your book & do more planning. Only time I was ever good at it was when remodeling the old Victorian money pit. And of course teaching.
planning helps me look forward to things and have goals....
but sometimes it does feel overwhelming like it never ends!
i will prob lay back from planning for the rest of the year to some extent.
and in terms of more education, i figure i can save my money and just read books on leadership, etc, as well as the other paralegal topics. i think saving money and not "going to school" is really what i should consider! haha...maybe i've had enough classes for awhile!
planning can help you if there's something new you want to get into. like a new hobby or project...
makes sense you had to plan for your home, yes. any project you do semi-successfullly needs a plan! :) xo
Jacky82020 on 09/20/2021:
Imagine 2 thumbs up!
Hahahaha I can do that ;)
bearcountrygg on 09/20/2021:
Those peanut butter cups look yummy!
They are a little pricey but have a nice flavor. Top ingredients no gas issues filling flavor
bearcountrygg on 09/20/2021:
I'm glad to see that they are making more low sugar things without the nasty fake sugars.....that stuff is miserable.
even chobani has began to make yogurt with stevia! finally! it took manufacturers so long to make candy without the other stuff! i do like real sugar, but sometimes it's nice to lessen it and just have the fat.
Jacky82020 on 09/20/2021:
They had some Stover sugar free peanut butter cups on sale at Walmart, but oh! The fat!
these are very good, many steps up from stover! i hope you would try these!?!? you may like them too much.... a little fat is good for you! :)
Jacky82020 on 09/20/2021:
I’ll take a look. Thanks!
