I fell off the wagon.

There shouldn't be a wagon anyways. Let's just say I geared away from my healthy lifestyle. This past weekend Friday until now (currently on the road) I was away in Niagara Falls.

I brought my runners, dri fit clothes, extra socks etc to make it to the gym. And then my friend was just like "be fat with me and don't go to the gym". And then I didn't. I can't give into other people's lifestyles. I have to hold my own. I made this blog to be accountable (which I am) but I want to stay in the mind set that I can do this. I WANT to do this. I HAVE to do this. I don't want to torture my organs anymore. I want to be there for my children and be alive, healthy and happy.

As usual I'm getting off the topic. Let's go back to eating poorly in Niagara:

Yes I walked the strip. Like a lot. Got my steps (yay) but also made bad decisions food wise.  Friday wasn't too bad - steak and veggies then ended the night with vodka, juice and some slushie thing (God it was ridiculously sweet).

Saturday we slept in. I checked into my room and had a cider. I've decided my body cannot handle carbonated drinks in the least bit. I don't drink pop and I've been off of beer for awhile. Having a cider was the worst thing for me - I had acid reflux all night and I was so exhausted by 8 pm I just wanted to crash. I practically begged my boyfriend to walk me back to the room so I can just go to sleep.

Saturday day time we walked the strip and stopped in at Niagara brewing company - craft beers and a mini beer store inside. It was nice - hipster nice with live music and tons of beards lol. I tried a pumpkin ale (still haven't figured out how to add pictures so this will be on my IG).

Sunday was no different - eating tons of carbs and drinking booze. The more I talk about it the more guilty I feel. Which is good - t will push me to have an awesome week, get my steps and attempt another week.

I have decided this week I will do a combination of gym and Focus T 25. If I don't do a day of Focus I will not beat myself up about it. I will go to the gym and crush a workout. I will not feel poorly about myself anymore. This is a journey. It's not a quick fix and  already at the finish line. These are the things I have to remind myself about and to remember to smile. Life is too short to be unhappy.
Thanks for reading. 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'...

I'm hungry. Again.

Ever hear (and feel) that rumble in your stomach and wonder if you're truly hungry or just thirsty? I do, all the time too. So far today I drank 3 of my water bottles (each at 25 oz) and about to refill for bottle #4. I'm 99.9 % sure I'm hungry because a) I haven't eaten since 11:00 am (and it only makes sense I'm hungry) b) Starting to get a headache and c) I just chugged some water and I have that weird feeling in my stomach like - Hey, your water count is too high for the amount of food you have eaten which is practically nothing. Low carb, high protein.  And man does it feel good to eat. Honestly, it feels like I have been starving for a day and I could dance around in happiness after that first initial bite. I am going to devour this bowl of food.  Only 15 more minutes until I have to get back to work. Why does lunch always disappear so fast when I am on the computer but when I am outside for a walk it seems like its forever  Hopefully K-sta...

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 ...
