IM ALIIIIVVVVEEE!

You want to know the worst part about being sick? That moment where you are so congested you have to sleep with your mouth open because that's the only way you are able to breathe.

Scratch that. The worst part about being sick is when you are so stuffed up you can only breathe through your mouth AND you are trying to EAT! It's not like you can put food in your ears and taste it. That sounded super weird, didn't it? Could you imagine eating through your ears as being the norm? Like that would be the way of life? And this is where my sick brain is at...

Now that that thought has left the building here's a new thought - I haven't been to the gym in 2 weeks!! That's 14 days. Me so sad. Last week for some unforgivable reason I told myself "let's eat garbage and not go to the gym" and I stuck it through. All the way. And then this past week I get sick? So I have zero energy and zero appetite. Wednesday I had a protein shake, a banana and (3) samosas. Yesterday - a protein shake, banana, sweet potato fries ... and get this - wine! I thought I was better so I went out with Kristina and her little human (Sydney). We walked around, took the bus together and played Pokemon Go. Everything was fine and dandy until my nose got stuffed up again and waking up today... ugh. It's like the cold came back twice as hard ringing in my ears "Hey Anna! Forget about me?!"

As I'm writing this blog I have sweat slowly dripping down my forehead. I'm awake after a 3 hour nap wearing 2 shirts, a big oversized cozy sweater, dri fit leggings and socks (my feet are covered in Vicks vapour rub). Today is the day I get healthy. I'm at mama Biss' place and she made her super awesome yummy and delicious homemade chicken noodle soup. I could bathe in it. Well not really, I would end up burning a couple layers of skin off. What is up with my brain thinking of such unusual things? And now I'm picturing it... great. Maybe it's time for another chug of water and a nap. 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'...

Trying not to get too sick =(

Don't hate me but I did not log my food this week. Trust me, you don't even want to know. Just assume the worst. I told myself I wasn't going to go to the gym or eat healthy and guess what - it was a complete success! Now it's Monday and I am whole heartedly dedicated to getting back to my usual self. Except there's one problem: I'm catching a cold. With that being said, I am so thankful I had a day to meal prep before this sickness gets any worse. Last night I made my 98% shepherd's pie (thanks Kristina 😊 ) with Yves original ground round, julienne carrots and frozen mixed vegetables. Mashed potatoes I added greek yogurt, butter and a splash of almond milk (as seen in the picture below). Kristina, Christine and some green Strong bow.  A reminder to self. Even though I'm feeling a bit under the weather I'm still going to continue this healthy lifestyle and make the necessary changes to build a stronger me - inside and out...

The snow has come...

It's April 7, 2017 and it's snowing. There isn't a lot of snow that is staying on the ground but what the actual fck - it's snowing in Spring! Today I scheduled a walk on one of the most gorgeous trails in the east end and now I don't think we will go. We are both somewhat of clutzy people and snow can sometimes make you slip and thus fall - nu uh. Not today. Guess what?! Two of the weights are off my shoulders! I not only finished my speech but I also found my swim suit. It was hidden in a mountain of summer clothes - eek - probably summer clothes that don't even fit. Time to get my ass in gear! So that's that, yay I'm happy that I found my bathing suit. Tonight is the rehearsal dinner. Tomorrow will be a bit hectic. This may not seem like a lot for you but it is for me. The plan: wake up, get ready, pack my bag for a slumber party, have the bridesmaid dress by the door (could you imagine if I forgot that?!), SHAVE MY LEGS omg the dress is long bu...
