Day 2

Another fresh start to the day!

Made my mystery tea this morning. I call it a mystery because awhile back I decided to combine all my tea bags (insert joke here) and put them all into a container. Ranges from different flavours of GREEN TEA - peppermint, super berry, blueberry .. etc. While my tea was steeping I focused on abdomen this morning - quick 225 total crunches. 

Prior to the minor abdomen session I weighed myself. Gross. I haven't taken my weight in so long. This morning I'm at 188.6 lb. 
Let's let that sink in. 

I may not look like that weight (or maybe I do) but I know I don't FEEL like that weight. It doesn't matter what I feel like, it is what it is. I can only go down from here. The next 30 days will consist of:
- no junk
- no alcohol/beer/wine
- no eating past 8 and enjoying a ton of flavoured teas. 

This is now the diary of a sober alcoholic. I'm not one to drink everyday but I tend to drink on the weekends and sometimes go overboard. Hence, the constant posts of what day it is. I don't want to psych myself out though or get stressed / overwhelmed - just taking each day as it is. 

Another Tuesday has come and gone and today my co-worker wasn't in. Lucky her being on vacation! Today has been jammed! 
Nutrition (and tons of water)*
Meal 1: small handful of mixed unsalted nuts, cup of blackberries
Meal 2: baby kale salad with ranch dressing and parmesan croutons
Meal 3: (if you even call it a meal) - pre workout and few bites of protein bar
Meal 4: leftovers from last night - chicken, peaches, veggies and basmati + a salad (tender reds, spinach, crumbled vegetable crackers, less than 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese and ranch dressing)

Exercise/workout:
Upper body using the machines - LAT Pull down, deltoid fly, seated row at 5 sets of 10
Wish me luck and stay tuned..

UPDATE
All the upper body machines were TAKEN. Oh my goodness - why does this always happen to me? Every woman in that section was using a machine I required for today except the lateral raise. So I started off with that - 3 sets of 10 at 25 lbs.
Then I wanted to move to ANY upper body machine but the ladies were taking forever and no one was using the leg machines (with the exception of abduct/adduct) so here was my workout:
3 sets of 10
Leg extension 55 lb
Seated leg curl 55 lb

4 sets of 8
Horizontal calf 130 lb
and again - 150 lb
+ 20 minutes of cardio - stationary bike

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'...

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 ...
