Finally.

Let's get one thing out of the way before I continue this blog: I am not going to the gym today.

So far I have had a great day and I'm on cloud 9. This is the start of something new and I really, really hope this works out. I haven't worked out today and I'm almost at my goal of 10K. The most I've done so far is walk around Wal-mart looking for a new laptop (yes, one was purchased) and sweeping /cleaning my brothers old office.

Finally - I have a working laptop
Finally - someone appreciates my hard work and applies that recognition to me
Finally - everything seems about right.

Everything is quickly coming together. When the deal is done, I'll share more. As for now, I'll update with my nutrition and workout
Yesterday's 
Dinner: 6 mild wings, carrots and celery, cesar salad with chicken (1/2 portion) and water to drink.. SHOCKER right? For once I went out and did not order wine or alcohol as a beverage

Workout:
5 sets of 10----
Horizontal calf 130 lb
Hip abduction: 70 lb (I did Adduction first and was literally so WEAK after my 5th set)
Hip adduction: 130 lb
Seated leg press: 55 lb
+ 20 minute cardio - 10.0 incline at 3.0 speed

Even though I'm upping my weights for my legs, the hardest part of yesterday's workout I would have to say was the cardio session. Incline 10 is insane .. I was pretty much in lunge position, taking long steps. Sweat dripping down my face within the first 8 minutes and I wasn't even walking fast. My booty was jiggling though - in a good way of course.

Today's
Meal 1: (2) bites of a protein bar - I was incredibly nervous - it was incredible because I was only meeting up with my brother...
Meal 2: 1/2 leftover cesar salad from last night + 2/3 baked skinless boneless chicken breast

I told myself this week I was going to eat low carb, high protein and high vegetables - what should I eat now?

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...
