Whaddup? Sorry been MIA again. A lot has been happening and it really grinds my gears that I can't share it on my blog. Let's just say something great is to come and once it's 100 % then I can share the news. As for this week - I haven't had any days where I did my IF - I'm literally always hungry. I haven't really been documenting my food because I've been all over the place but Easter weekend I was a bad ass bitch and drank Friday, Saturday, Sunday and had a couple of brewskis on Monday. I was even WEARING the beer because Ashly knocked over her beer which made it's way to my lap.. all over my new adidas leggings too - mama biss treated me and got some awesome dri fit leggings from.... drum roll please... COSTCO! $25 and I love them. Only comes in 2 colours though - blue and my favourite colour (coral) - Jack won't be too pleased about that. 

So as for nutrition and workout yesterday:
Nutrition / meals:
Breakfast: banana
Lunch: Green tea, leftover lean beef/ couscous/ broccoli and peppers
Dinner (went to parents): leftovers from Easter dinner + (2) glasses of white wine, bean chips and guacamole

Workout:
40 minute walk 


Today I woke up at 4:30 am! Conquered my abdomen this morning with 200 crunches and then headed over to the gym with Jack - holy crap you would think he was a woman in his last life - he took so long to get ready PLUS he had to have a morning coffee. Good news: we live pretty close to the gym so even after stopping for a coffee we were there by 5:40 am so I got in an hour and a bit for my workout this morning.

I wanted to focus on upper body and most importantly my triceps and biceps. They are pretty weak.. Last week I was introduced to the weight section by my friend Jacqueline so I pretty much copied last weeks workout of: bicep curls, teapot dips, standing chest press (this would be my second time using the straight bar)  and the familiar side crunches and front raises. I didn't complete the total number of sets because I started to get bored.. lol. And it's killing me how far behind I am with my steps. But I just have to keep reminding myself that cardio burns muscle and right now I want those muscle gains!


Like I said, I've been up since 4:30 am and currently it's 1:48 pm and I'm legit feeling it. Well I was anyways. I already had my dose of pre workout. I'm totally energized and awake but like I said above, I don't want to focus on cardio .. plus I did 40 minutes yesterday and already 45 minutes today. Good news by the way: 9649 is my current step count. Wowzers. By the end of the work day I should be past 10K. 

This is some good pre workout. Ahhh! I could conquer the world. But really - it's my lunch, what should I be doing right now? Oh yes, update on nutrition too!
Meals for today
Breakfast (post workout) kashi seven grain bar - chocolate chia seed
Post breakfast: 1/2 banana, 1/2 plain bagel with cream cheese 
Snack/lunch: leftover beef/ veggies / couscous (same as yesterday) with pre workout and tons of water. 

Tonight Jack's mom is taking us out for dinner - I already know what I'm getting because I'm pretty sure where we will end up: Steak with seasonal veggies + cesar salad. But my mood might change to a chicken cesar salad. Either way I am NOT getting pizza or pasta. Will keep you posted! 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 ...
