Goals

Every day I try to accomplish mini goals.

Today isn't just a regular day. Not like any other day.. no no no. It's a family get together. Family get togethers are like "it's someone's birthday you can have a little" "it's a celebration, have some wine / booze it would be a sin not to" "why aren't you having any of my birthday cake? So rude. Just a sliver!" Etc. I am thankful that my family understands and respects my choices of lifestyle. Not every family does. And some people just don't have the self control / will power. I get that. I've been down that road many times. And this is why I make mini goals.

With that being said, today I propose to you my mini goals and then I will blog by the end of the night (or tomorrow) if I achieved them and what exactly happened...

1. Complete Speed 1.0
2. Reach 10,000 steps (even though my goal is 13,000.. usually on weekends I barely make it to 7,000)
3. Stay low carb
4. ACTUALLY HAVE JUST A SLIVER OF BIRTHDAY CAKE.
Four mini goals.

Warning! Do not read the next little bit if you have low self control for sweets!!!

I'm just going to go into detail about my sisters birthday request. My mom makes this insanely, fantasting, amazing, mouth watering delight of an ice cream cake. It's absolute heaven when it touches your lips. Friends that are allergic to chocolate (how do they live) even give in to this cake and pay for it later.

Bottom layer is a beautiful cookie crumb. Next layer (I'm not 100% of the order but it is a combo of these layers) is chocolate ice cream. Next layer CHOCOLATE. Like just melted chocolate. This cake takes time. Freezing then adding a layer then freezing and then another layer and frig it's just soooo good. Getting carried away here.. next layer vanilla ice cream and of course another layer of chocolate and lastly ... cappuccino ice cream!!! Oh and then a drizzle of chocolate and I think she sprinkles on some sort of topping .. might just be the cookie crumb but I haven't had it in so long so I'm having a hard time remembering. But guys, trust me ... you haven't had ice cream cake (PROPERLY) until you've had mom's.

People who don't have self control!! You can read now :)
Bye. I'm done. Just kidding.

Speaking of desserts I'm currently eating a mini breakfast of 1/2 protein bar. Just a couple bites so my stomach isn't growling as I'm dying during another workout. Yay for double days! Today guess who's joining me? My mom. Yes. I warned her of the intensity. Speed 1.0 isn't that bad. Like you go hard then it's a minute of stretching then you go hard for 2-3 minutes then stretching out the related muscle group. It's not my favourite workout but it beats lower focus. Anywho, I'll be writing again later so stay tuned!

Update on goals

Hello again. It's meeee... 🙃 Okay so goal 1 ✔️ Completed Speed 1.0 with mama bear. I completed the day with 10,162 steps. My dessert was literally a sliver of cake (sister called it a crumb) haha with 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, few strawberries and walnuts. And I made a low carb lasagna and guess what? It was a huge success! So my mom makes this beautiful hollandaise based lasagna with chicken and asparagus. I took it upon myself to grad 1/2 cauliflower head and grated the stems of broccoli as my base. Did a layer of the sauce, chicken, asparagus, broccoli, cheese, and added (4) spinach noodles for texture. Topped it with Parmesan cheese and BOOM. Magic was born. Other lasagnas for the family included turkey with tomato sauce, and then (2) variations of the hollandaise other than my own- one with broccoli and the other asparagus. I was absolutely thrilled to find out mine was a success. Especially since I thought it was going to be like soup. Don't forget that when ...

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 ...
