I'm going to an orchestra concert in combination with a comedian/singer tonight at a very local stadium called the Forest Hills Stadium. Never been - so i'm extra happy to go with my friend Ricky. Tickets were decent, but not great - I think $50 which i'd say is semi-expensive. but, it's something to do and even involves an orchestra, so i'm really glad about that!
The area the concert is in doesn't have parking, so, we're taking the bus. It's the same bus i take for getting to the subway when i go to work. Good route.
So i'll be walking a little bit today, but not like the 5k i signed up for tomororw which is just constant walking of 3mi without stopping. I will not be going to the 5k tomorrow bc my left foot is too sore, weak and strained. i'll rest and not be doing a continuous walk until it feels a bit better....and it will.
and for the rest of the day today until the concert, i'm relaxing...no laundry. just couch and reading, unless i change my mind and cook something :) but i'm jjust resting my feet and legs and relaxing today.
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
Happy Friday :)
650 cal before lunch, usual stuff...
lunch stewed zucchini 150, noodles 100, small amount meat/shrimp 250, avocado small amount 100. 550-600.
250, all healthy...
snack 4pm: half an old fashioned dunkin donut brought by coworker YUM 150 and a few almonds 50. 200
fruit 150, yogurt and choc chips 200 and later pb on cracker 150
2050 awesome
________________________________________
I'm pretty set to skip the 5k on Sunday morning for more rest and relaxation. No need to abuse left ankle / calf more...we'll see how i feel.
walking / taking train after work to DMV to renew my license / get new since mine expires in September. I'm getting a new photo - with my short pixie hair...since my other one doesn't really look like me and i want a new photo - otherwise i'd have gone and done it online...but i work close to the midtown dmv in Manhattan, just a few stops away on the subway....i leave at 5pm and it's opened until 6pm so i should get there with a half hour to spare.....
I did go to the DMV with all the documents, but they needed originals of my birth certificate and also my passport in order to get the REAL ID license that i wanted. I only had copies. So, i'm thinking to go back after work Monday - but the line is very long for this process there and takes 2 hours. I really wanted to change my photo of my license, so, i guess i'll do that after work Monday along with bringing a good book :)

i've been wanting more sleep all week....last night i did good with sleep but could have used even more because i woke up feeling groggy like i wasn't done sleeping...looking forward to tomorrow being Friday and sleeping in on Saturday!
Left calf/ankle are a bit better today as i've not been using them more than i have to this week. I've been comtemplating skipping the 5K on Sunday so i can both sleep in after a night out and rest more...we'll see how i feel the night before. I'd rather keep it in the schedule and not be a "quitter," so....if i'm feeling good, i'll walk the 5k (3 miles). it'd be with my friend, Ricky. Plus, this run/walk is close to home and is a later event that starts at 9am compared to the other ones we did at 8am. i am planning not to skip it, we'll see....

exercise - nothing at all for after work, just walking on commute and at lunch - trying to get my left calf / ankle ready for the 5k
i'm looking forward to getting more sleep tonight so i can get thru the rest of the week feeling good!
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
I confess I'm a little concerned about your ankle/ calf. Let's see how the 5k goes.
ankle/calf is such a darn nuisance. They are beginning to feel better compared to earlier this week - trying not to overdo and realizing that even just "doing" can hurt. I'll try to keep this all in mind. maybe skipping the 5k. we'll see..
home: sips of kombucha, not counting it...
wrap with egg 200, avo 100, seasoning, coffee 50. 350, piece of mango 50
snacks 150 light bar
lunch: really heathy from home stewed zucchini / eggplant / peppers big serving but so light and tasty 200, accidentally forgot the rice part, so it'll be chips again healthier type of chip 120, half a turkey burger 100. 420., hot tea.
snacks: almonds / apricot 150
Before workout: granola bar / iced coffee?? or apricot? tbd 400 mix of stuff, kombucha 50, protein nut butter :) 200
after workout tbd. PB 200

For Amazon Prime Day today, I decided to order a few things i've been wanting for a long time. I figured today would be a good day to buy them:
1- hand held shower head with hose $20
2- Water Foot Bath Electrical so water stays nice and warm and i can soak my feet in an Epsom Salt bath for continuued care of my feet / ankle / legs. $20
Really i shouldnt' keep spending money, but, both these things i've been thinking about for a long time and i know they'll get good use.
________________________________________
Weights workout tonight, once again my ankle is weaker and leg because of the unexpected walking last Saturday night which was really supposed to be a rest day - i'll be fine. and last night i cooked, a ton, so was on my feet most of the night - the veggies all turned out wonderfully!
It's TOM and i'm overcoming a UTI and other stuff. so, feeling sorta gross this week and my leg is somewhat tight. LOL. so, i guess i need to not push this week...i really want the 5k on Sunday to go alright (walking it).
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
How did weights go?
After the UTI which i have had mutliple summers now, I have decided it's about time i get a showerhead that is better along with any other issues i get down there grrr.
next, the foot soaker is going to be GREAT especially as weather cools, nice warming foot soak with epsom salts!
weights are actually going well and i'm very strong right now with upper body bc i've been very consistent lately!
Pure unsweetened cranberry juice (not Ocean Spray) and yogurt with live cultures is supposed to help. Maybe add these to your diet for a while?
TOM i think has helped with the UTI. I think i'm basically over it. I'm also taking the cranberry pills (vitamin section). and yes to more yogurt :)
thank you for all advice!
2266 = 3 day. higher than i want, but not overly excessive.

Today:
Reading a little / shower / reading at dr if i have to wait...12pm dermatologist for hyperhydrosis (excesive underarm sweating so i get botox - it's been a genetic issue i've had since my teens)....
________________________________________________
DONE! After derm, stopping at supermarket for mostly fruit (apricots, strawberries), avocados, & maybe a few more yogurts, almond milk, seltzers too.
Also the cleaners to dryclean a down comforter.
i want to get home and stay home since yesterday was a long hike getting home from NYC during the midtown blackout.
DONE! Possibly picking up some veggies for a late lunch today that are already cooked and that i can enjoy at home - after the dermatologist / errands
__________________________________________________
TOMORROW ?? Hamster cage needs a cleaning
HALFWAY DONE - this wasn't skipped and i will finish! :) ...Strength workout today- I may skip one or two leg items as my ankle once again is stressed but NOT injured. just sore. it will always be this way, my bad ankle, from when i broke it many years ago.
_____________________________________________
TOMORROW I'd like to cook some of my veggies that were delivered this past Thursday evening :) from Misfits Market. GREAT Selection this time around with plenty of zucchini and greens. I may Sautee rather than go the slow cooker route, gotta review recipes.
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
OK, I have to ask this: the doctor's office is open on a SUNDAY????? (I've been meaning to ask you this for the longest time.)
but, being that I live in a very, very Metropolitan city, Queens, stores and drs offices tend to have more of a variety of hours. especially this derm office - it also has late night hours during the week. good place. :)
not everyone can get to a dr office near their home during the week, so most places do have some kinda weekend hours if they are a busy clinic like a dermatology group. there's 3 main dermatologists there, so i guess you can ccall it a pretty big sized office for dermatology. one dr works on weekends along with another one that comes in only for the weekends.
4am a little restless, with an appetite. two 2% greek Chobani yogurts with fruit on the bottom 280.
9:45am oatmeal with almond milk and stevia, cinnamon, just a bit of saffron so i could take it with some oatmeal in one bite (i use oatmeal to put the dried saffron in and take it in one bite). 2% Chobani fruit on bottom Strawberry Rhubarb yogurt. 300. iced coffee 30
almost noon while reading / laundry: muffin that i made last sunday from fridge, seltzer with hemp and stevia, strawberries 250, more strawberries later 50
2pm lunch - wrap with mustard 150, bigger piece of sausage but still smaller if that makes sense! 200. total 350. some chips i think...
1000 calories more throughout night
total is decent at 2400 or so.
___________________________________________
12:45pm NOW :) I've decided to start up the ladder exercises again today as i've been purposely doing less on weekends to give myself a rest and time to do what is most important lately including exercise and more cooking. just not rushing thru weekends like previous years :)
DONE :)Laundry ? today - if i can do it today it'd be a bonus...
Tonight I'm going into the city meeting my friend at 5:30pm which means i need to leave my apt around 4pm since there can be train delays on weekends. we are seeing an Off Broadway show called Drunk Shakespeare. it's an hour and half, no intermission, over by 7:30pm which is good because afterwards we are going out to an Indian restaurant nearby that also has Hookah (not a drug). Looking forward to seeing this friend - we haven't met up since January when she flew to Florida to meet me for the last weekend i was down there at my other friend's house!
____________________________________________
Also today or tomorrow, I'd like to cook some of my veggies that were delivered this past Thursday evening :) from Misfits Market. GREAT Selection this time around with plenty of zucchini and greens. I may Sautee rather than go the slow cooker route, gotta review recipes.
at noon tomorrow i have a follow up with dermatologist as well as a treatment for genetic hyperhydrosis which is underarm sweating that gets to be a huge problem for me and i get botox so that i can wear whatever i want and not walk around with huge pit stains all summer ! :)
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
Hope the ladder exercises go well today.
I do in fact figure my ankle WILL ALWAYS be somewhat of a pain that comes and goes after the fracture i had i do not think it will ever work great...but i do know that also continuing to add leg muscle and doing exercises that strengthen my leg muscles will help me to compensate for a weak ankle!
My laundry cart....always with clothes on it, it seems...just like the dishes, dish washer, and laundry in general! hahahahaha

I admit i have been VERY LUCKY this year. since January, i can see it's been a year of the least work politics, least problems, and just the best environment i've ever had for this many months at a time without a change. i do admit though, i can tell it's the calm before the storm because this project only has 1yr to 1.5yrs...so i am being positive and keeping on with my goals :)
