I said BRRRRR it's cold in here.

Holy crappers.

Last night I recall a friend posting "10 + today. Tomorrow - 7 Yep. That's Canada". And I thought about this before bed AND was thinking about it this morning and yet I still put on my flats. Dumb move on my part - like what was I thinking? Mush for brains today, I tell you.

Fourth day in a row where I didn't wake up at 4:30 am and get my butt to the gym. So today I punished myself and will continue to punish myself. I got off the bus (3) stops too early and walked in the blistering cold - only wearing thin socks, flats, 1 pair of skin tight leggings, dri fit tank, sweater and winter jacket. No hat. No scarf. No gloves. BRRRRRRR. On a good note, I'm already almost at 3,000 steps!

Let's recap yesterday:

Breakfast: Protein shake (chocolate vegan shakeo + almond milk + water
Snack: Leftover protein bowl (chocolate vegan shakeo + plain greek yogurt + frozen mixed berries)
Lunch: Vegetable stew
Snack: baby carrots, chocolate chip cookie dough protein bar, 1/2 protein shake
Dinner: 1/2 protein shake, (3) chicken spring rolls (dipped in plum sauce), skinless boneless chicken breast, baked potato seasoned with salt / pepper, butter, sour cream w/ chives, multigrain roll (added butter and dipped in chalet sauce)

I told my boyfriend if he got dessert I would get dessert too. As luck would have it, once I ordered the cheesecake (and couldn't make up my mind between strawberries or chocolate sauce) the waitress walked away - giving Jack no time to order even if he wanted! .. but that's okay - we were meant to split my dessert anyways. The picture made the cheesecake look huge. When we got it it was 6 bites worth. Even though I semi cheated, I feel pretty good about what I ate yesterday.

1) All carbs were consumed directly after a killer workout
2) I still made healthy choices (swiss chalet fries are TOOOO good to not order).

Exercise/workout: Upper body + double cardio.
Lunch break I looped around a nearby park 3x with Kristina - came back a sweaty mess
After work I did a circuit of upper body machines after 30 minutes cardio on the treadmill:

Lat pulldown: 1 set at 55 lb, 3 sets at 40 lb
Chest press: 20 lb
Tricep extensions: 25 lb
Bicep curl: 3 set at 30 lb, 1 set at 25 lb
Pectoral fly: 2 set at 20 lb, 2 set at 25 lb
Deltoid fly: 25 lb
Seated row: 2 set at 25 lb, 2 set at 30 lb
4 sets of 8 each.
+ 10 minutes include 6 at 3.3 speed on treadmill.

Today here's the plan:
Breakfast: protein shake + an apple 
Snack: carrots + veggie burger (plain) + 1 packet ketchup
Lunch: kale chips + veggie burger
* For lunch I had an apple, protein shake, roasted seeds, veggie crackers (mini rounds - about 7)
Snack: apple + protein shake
Didn't have a snack but will probably finish the kale chips
Dinner: mashed veggie burger with tomato sauce, mom's pasta salad with a light vinaigrette, cheese, celery, pickles  (no idea what else is in it)

Strike out words will indicated I did not eat it and ate something else
Underlined meals will mean I went through with it. Hopefully I can stick with it! 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 ...
