Leg day!

Last night I said I was grabbing dinner with Jack and his mom and I stated I was going to get a steak and vegetables and not pizza or pasta. Well, technically I still didn't get either of the two however we did end up getting a snack platter which included oven roasted wings, cheese loaf, garlic bread and cactus cut potato chips with (2) dips. I indulged a tad.. I really wanted a salad but didn't want to speak up. She had her heart set on that platter. I really don't like being the one person making a big deal about my lifestyle choices so forgive me, I gave in.

Today I've been a good little Anna.
Breakfast: 1/2 protein shake, 1/4 croissant
Snack: pre workout, 1/2 banana and a handful of mixed nuts - Surprisingly this kept me full for 4 hours. I JUST had my lunch (as seen below)


This is the last (finally) of the leftovers plus I combined it with mama biss stir fry. I'm not 100 % sure what's in it but she did mention she used red cabbage, spinach, ginger, soya sauce, and garlic. I'm 99.9 % sure there are potatoes in it too. I'm pretty confident because I love me some potatoes. Mashed potatoes is my absolute favourite way to prepare potatoes and my mom makes the BEST. 

Haven't worked out yet today. Another day where I haven't been concerned about cardio. It's been raining all day so it's not like I can go for a walk even if I wanted to. Plus, my boots broke. Hopefully mom can fix them. I still can't believe it's coming to an end for April and I'm still to this day wearing my winter coat. Smh. 

Today I'm going to work out my legs using the machines. This time I'm going to attempt the same weights just more reps. 5 set 10 to be exact... will see how that goes. 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'...

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...

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 ...
