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.

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'...

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 ...
