Accountability

Accountability.
Account-able.

Accountability by definition: "the fact or condition of being accountable; responsibility".
I want to be more accountable for everything I do - what I eat, how / when / if I workout, how I react/justify my actions.. in summary I want to live a healthier and happier lifestyle.

Let's get back to me. Here's my introduction:
My name is Anna. I am a 29 year old overweight woman quickly approaching her 30s in the month of May. I work as a Medical Receptionist for a Plastic Surgeon and I have been confused about a 'healthy lifestyle' for the past 2 years. I started my 'journey' approximately the same time when I moved in with my boyfriend.. and that's when I started to realize how much weight I've accumulated.

I can't be too hard on myself. I know I can get back to the body I used to have if I just remember that it's a slow progress and nothing will come easy or quick. Even the procedure of cool sculpting. YES. I went there. Nearing the end of December I gave in and had cool sculpting done for my lower abdomen. I admitted defeat.

The after process was monstrous and I was not prepared to how my body was going to react. I woke up the next day and could not bend over without feeling pain. Mind you this was also only a few days before Christmas! I could barely see over my swollen and bruised stomach. It was so gross.. I was black and blue for a solid 4 days. No pain no gain right? Anyways, I assumed after a week or 2 I would see results.. but nope. The bruising subsided and the swelling went away but that's pretty much it. Stomach wise, I look pretty much the same. Results generally take up to 8-10 weeks. It feels like I'm not even close.

So that's a big weight off of my shoulders. I'll be writing again soon to remain accountable for today's food intake + workout routine. Stay tuned.

Sleeping.

I feel like I've always taken advantage of sleep. The power of sleep - not one of life's wonders. You get a good night sleep, you're able to function properly the next day. I never truly appreciated the act of sleep until last night. I'm in bed roughly by 9 pm maybe 9:30 pm and I'm a light sleeper. (perfect mom quality might I add) Jack on the other hand goes to bed around 10:30 pm or 11:00 pm. He admitted he has FOMO - F ear O f M issing O ut but in regards to TV / Facebook videos so he's up watching something so that's the reason why he doesn't go to bed at the same time as me. Well last night the Leaf game was on - and I can only assume that they lost because I didn't hear any screaming at the TV then again I didn't hear anger either and Jack's pretty loud when it comes to Leaf games (major hockey fan). I only heard around 11:19 pm that he was heading to bed. And then the loud breathing started. I can't really tell if it'...

Exhausted.

I am definitely feeling the after affects of eating crappy foods. Do you ever feel oddly tired? Especially since you're well rested and haven't over worked your body..? That's me right now. Although it's not odd at all. I noticed when I eat foods that have little to zero nutritional value my body reacts in a sluggish state. Over the weekend I indulged to a point where I just feel exhausted. I'm staring at the computer blogging and I can barely keep my eyes open . It's lunch time thank goodness so I could take a nap if I wanted to. However, that would be such a tease to my eyes and mental state. Today started off super frustrating as my co-worker did not show up. Generally Monday's are insanely busy. The office is closed on Fridays so we have messages from Thursday evening all the way up until Sunday night. The number of messages ranges between 20-40 and usually 30 (or so) fax messages. Returning those messages alone while having the phones ringing in ...

Oh hello

Hey there stranger, it's been awhile, hasn't it? I don't even know where to begin!! It feels nice and calm that my head is screwed in and I don't want it to EXPLODE. The speech went great. It was short and sweet - Jack went off his speech and did an amazing job. I was really impressed, his was pretty sweet. We were a bit taken a back because there was no podium. Jack wrote his speech on his phone.. so it was a bit weird for him but so did a couple other people. Actually one, it was one other person and it was Jamaal's family member so Jack shouldn't feel awkward or anything. YAY! Christine is married. I'm so happy for her. She has the whole week off - lucky goose. Then again, today is my Friday. Tomorrow is good friday so that's a day off but because I usually have fridays off, I get a lieu day so I GET MONDAY OFF TOO!!! Major smiles up in here. So lets get this show on the road shall we? Okay so this is what happens when you forget your protein ...
