AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I'M SO EXCITED!!!!

Today is one of the final days I work with my boss and this office. This is actually the last day I'll be working along side my boss in person. The final Tuesday clinic.. dun dun dun..

We are extremely over booked so today will go by fast and I wanted to pop on while I'm ahead. First patient is scheduled not until 8:45 am so this gives me a chance to update on nutrition and working out.

Lately I have been eating fairly well - mostly protein and vegetables and A TON of avocado. Jack and I started eating 1/2 an avocado a day and it's been splendid. Saturday rolled around and I made scrambled eggs and instead of eating it plain (as I had planned) I smashed an avocado and put the egg and avocado into a wrap. I was full 1/2 way through. Tossed it in the fridge and then forgot about it. Boo urns what a waste. Aw well.

As for working out as promised I have been focusing more on weights rather than cardio and it has been doing wonders for my body. I visibly have less flab on my arms and my stomach is toning (only I am noticing at the moment).

This morning I woke up 20 minutes earlier and worked out my triceps and biceps with:
5 sets of 10 with a 5 lb dumb bell (the next highest dumb bell is 25 lb)
- bicep curl (twice)
- tricep dips
- tricep teapot dips
- tricep curl

okay maybe I worked out my triceps harder but I don't know any bicep exercises other than the curl. Time to venture off! I have another blog that's a draft I should get to but before I do today's nutrition as follows (y'know to stay accountable and what not):
Breakfast: 12 grain bagel from Tim Hortons, double toasted with a scrape of butter
Snack / lunch: 1/2 cucumber sliced, homemade guacamole, regular tortilla chips, protein shake
Dinner: The celebration dinner - salad / wings/ beer.

But will see when the time comes. 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'...

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 ...
