Just a quickie.

Anyone else enjoy that title? Me too.

Sorry I haven't posted in a full day - my laptop broke and I don't really have a ton to say about yesterday other than a quick nutrition and exercise update. I had a wonderful meeting with my pops and the bank so that was the highlight of my day.

Left my parents late in the afternoon just in time for annoying school kids to hit the streets and load up on the buses. Great. I hurried my butt to the gym and worked out my lower body. Before I get to my workout this is what I ate:

Breakfast: (2)  over easy eggs, (4) small pieces of whole wheat bread and a pecan turtle coffee with coconut oil and touch of chocolate milk
Lunch: Macaroni, tomato and cheese and (2) helpings of my moms stir fry - cabbage, spinach, carrots, pork in a ginger sauce.
Dinner: (2) chicken tacos - tomato, onion, cilantro and obviously chicken in a sauce and bacon cesar salad on the side.

Lower body workout (in no order):
Seated leg press: 60 lb
Seated leg curl: 45 lb
Hip Abduction: 105 lb
Hip Adduction: 125 lb
^ 4 sets of 8

Side crunch (each side) 25 lb
Sumo squats 10 lb
^ 2 sets of 8

+ 67 minute cardio.
So usually I need a bit of a warm up prior to running on the treadmill and what I learned yesterday was that incline 6 and 3.5 speed is perfect for a warm up. Did that for awhile, then lowered the incline and ran / speed walked for a bit.

REACHED MY GOAL OF 65,000 STEPS FOR THE WEEK. YAHOOO!
Cheers to making goals. YAY! 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 ...
