THURSDAY - SUNDAY FOOD / EXERCISE DIARY

This is going to get a bit hard because I no longer have my laptop working at home so I'll be posting pictures and entries in this one single post.

March 9 2017
BREAKFAST: Protein shake
SNACK: Raisin bran muffin
LUNCH: Ranch salad with romaine, cucumber, croutons
SNACK: Same as above

March 10 2017
B: (4) scrambled eggs with ketchup
L: (2) blueberry pancakes with maple syrup and (4) breakfast sausages
 And I didn't log my dinner, whoops!

March 11 2017
B: (2) slices pepperoni pizza
D: (skipped lunch was pretty much snacking as I was at a 2 day bachelorette!
- peanut meatballs, basmati rice, macaroons, wine, spinach dip with pumpernickel bread

March 12 2017 - Sunday - the last day of the bachelorette
B: waffle bar! (2) waffles topped with organic peanut butter, dark chocolate almond butter, - literally SCRAPED both of them on with strawberries, blueberries, dark chocolate chips and banana.
L: Whole wheat pita with veggie / meat sauce (from the stuffed peppers) with mozzarella cheese and green onions.
And the pictures below are dinner at Lee's Restaurant:

This is the 19 ingredient signature slaw. I should have recorded her talking as she tossed this beautiful and delicious salad. It was amazing - I can't wait to go back. Super fresh and a great way to cleanse the pallet between courses. 


Indian vegetable fritters - gluten free - squash, zucchini, onions, chickpea, plantain. Spiced tamarind glaze and mint yogurt. (literally copied the website which I'll add at the bottom)

Rack of lamb - banana fritter (OMG it was so so good) - red sauce: tomato lentil - cumin stew, yellow ring: coconut carrot cardamon chutney and lastly green ring: chili mint. The flavour combinations were excellent. If my friends didn't order it, I don't think I would have but I'm THRILLED they did.


This is Christine. She's been my best friend for 25 years. How many people can say that about their friends? Friends will come and go but sisters are forever and Christine is my non - blood sister. We've been through everything together - laughs, tears, heartaches, and most importantly happiness. She's getting married next month and I am incredibly honoured to stand next to her on the biggest (and most memorable) day of her life. I love this girl!

PS: I didn't get to try her dessert (because I had one coming) but she said it was yummy. - Ice cream with a berry compote inside a pastry.


It was a fat day and a celebration. You can't say no to dessert in this case. This is a vanilla creme brulee with a lemon pastry and a berry compote.Reading the website it said 'lemongrass' creme brulee. I knew there was lemon somewhere just not sure where. It was absolutely delicious. It was really nice to go to an 'adult ' restaurant instead of the usual chains I would go to like Boston Pizza or Wild Wing. I still enjoy them but eating out to different places and trying new things was a great way to end the night. 

Lee's Restaurant

So that was my weekend. Back to the grind. Today we are going to get a major snow storm. I'm supposed to go to my parents place after work (mom made my favourite meal). I packed my clothes for Tuesday just in case I spend the night. Will see though. 

OH!
Huge PS - I didn't exercise Saturday / Sunday. I wasn't even thinking. I was offered to use my friends gym in the condo but I didn't pack my running shoes - and she has ridiculously tiny feet. Shame, I packed my gym clothes as my pjs too. Darn shame. Anywho - stay tuned.

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 ...

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'...

Rant on perfumes / cologne

Found this rant in my iPhone notebook: Ladies. Why do you bathe in perfume? Some men do it too but I had to bring it up for a little rant because I was just outside walking to the bus stop and all I could smell was perfume and I was still 10 or 15 steps away. There was a woman waiting in the shelter. Decked out as if she was going downtown to pick up an older man in the financial district. Either that or she works in a top notch hair salon... I can't even make a joke properly because my head is still fuzzy from that smell. When I am in a closed space and someone sprays perfume (an abundance of it) I get light headed accompanied by a headache. It's not fun at all. I'm not the only one either which is the reason why most gym change rooms have signs not allowing perfumes to be sprayed. Same with certain departments in the hospital. Nurses shouldn't wear perfume because of the contact with some patients. Anyways, all I'm saying is - even though YOU can't ...
