I finally made it back.

Even though it pissed cats and dogs I hauled my butt to the gym today. I didn't make it yesterday - I gave into temptations instead. I wanted wings but I wasn't necessarily hungry for wings - I just wanted the wings. I really need to get out of the cheating habit. We were doing so well too!

Going out on a week night seriously fcked me up. So I'm thinking because I've been bad since Monday I might as well complete the cycle.

Today's "nutrition":
Breakfast: pizza
Lunch: pizza with dipping sauce
Dinner: pizza with dipping sauce
Post dinner: green tea.
So I went to the gym today. My brother let me leave early so I finally went! I worked out my tri's and bi's + chest and my love handles. I would have to say my stomach and my upper body is the most out of shape. I love my legs - I can get away with not having that thigh gap. My legs are pretty strong too. I mean c'mon they carry around a 5'9 woman almost 200 lbs all day long. And I used to go for 2-3 hour walks at a time! Kudos to my legs y'know.

I hope my arms won't be tired for tomorrow. I signed up for Aqua fit with my gym - well not really, it's just offered with the membership. I'm excited. Usually on vacation I'll join in the old ladies in the pool and do the workout. Treading water and walking in the water against the wave of it and feeling that resistance is amazing and a pretty good workout if you ask me.
 So my plan for tomorrow as follows:
Morning workout prior to aqua fit (lower body + cardio) - take that fit bit friends! You are in for a treat!! (I usually am hungover on weekends and don't even work out)
- Get together with Kstar and grab some groceries, do some pre meal prep and make either roasted chick peas or roasted mixed nuts .. honestly, you gotta try my nuts - AH MAZE ING! Especially when I add some garlic powder, paprika and cayenne.

Then meeting with another friend at the same place I was yesterday when I had the wings aka Wild Wing and then hopefully a date night with Jack!

Totally hoping Jack wants to do a gym session on Sunday to make up for our slacking this past week.
Check out todays cardio. I don't even remember walking so much today... anywho - we are currently catching up on Community and Jack's waiting for me to finish this blog. Ps - I gave into another temptation - WINE! 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...

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...
