Reflection time.



Can I just say how much I'm enjoying the nicer weather? Sure it's raining but at least it's not Brrrr damn cold so cold that I have to wear my winter coat and boots. I can still get away with wearing my crappy shoes with zero support. And then obviously I bring my sneakers for the gym - which by the way I AM GOING TO THE GYM TONIGHT! 

I used to tell myself "if I don't make it to the gym by --- (insert time)" or "if I'm not at the gym by 6:30 pm I'm not going. I'll just do cardio on the WiiU instead". But what I failed to realize all those times is that doing cardio won't make you fit. It won't help you to reach your goal. It won't make you strong as a whole. Sure it will make your legs strong but that's it. You don't get a booty by doing cardio.

Contradictory to this post, I was doing cardio this morning and with a good reason. There was an accident close to where Jack drops me off. I got so excited! TWO fire trucks, an ambulance, a tow truck and a cop car... my excitement diminished when I came up to the accident and behold - it was a tiny fender bender. At least I got a beautiful picture so it was still worth it. I couldn't go for a walk on my lunch - it was Brrr damn cold. Like frig, winter weather can kiss my ass. Either be winter with glistening snow or fck off. It's mostly the wind I dislike. I guess I'm just in a complaining kind of mood. I'm mostly upset with myself.

End of April I told myself:
Anna, you can do this. You are not going to drink alcohol - no beer, no wine, no booze - NOTHING until your birthday. You are also going to be a strong woman. No hesitations. No excuses. You will get your butt to the gym either by 5:30 am before work or DEFINITELY after work. You will work hard, eat well and achieve the body you desire.

With all this being said I was good until this past Monday. This is the day when I wanted to give my warning about my two weeks notice to the boss' wife but instead HE was with her and when I was giving the warning, she handed the phone to him. So let's just say Monday was a bit stressful for me. Which carried onto Tuesday when he came into the office to discuss it... Tuesday was shot. Yesterday was Wednesday and I went for a walk on my lunch - so that was cardio - however I still planned on going to the gym after work which obviously didn't happen. Which leads to today. I just feel super guilty because that's my lack of workouts and here's my food -

I DON'T EVEN KNOW!
I haven't logged my food but other than those delicious wraps, I know I've been bad. I don't even want to blog about it but I know afterwards I'll feel better about it. Monday is too long ago, I can't remember but I know either Sunday or Monday I had all you can eat .. yeah you know I remember I posted about that. Whatever day it was, it happened. Tuesday I had the beers (during the day I had a wrap). Yesterday I had a wrap, an apple, tons of water (as per usual) and then this happens...

So Jack and I are laying in bed watching YouTube videos. And he suddenly turns to me, "lets skip the walk and get pizza instead" and I look at him, nudge his head to the side and whisper "I was thinking the same thing!" Literally I was.
And I don't know why. Like I wanted to go for the walk but I also didn't want to cook dinner. In a way I miss meal prepping but also in a way I started to get bored really easily. And I hate to say it but I'm thinking I'm going to start making eggs for dinner every night. Or something of high protein, low carb and loads of veggies. I should really start making my own salad dressings because that would be absolutely perfect. Anyways, it's home time. 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'...

I'm hungry. Again.

Ever hear (and feel) that rumble in your stomach and wonder if you're truly hungry or just thirsty? I do, all the time too. So far today I drank 3 of my water bottles (each at 25 oz) and about to refill for bottle #4. I'm 99.9 % sure I'm hungry because a) I haven't eaten since 11:00 am (and it only makes sense I'm hungry) b) Starting to get a headache and c) I just chugged some water and I have that weird feeling in my stomach like - Hey, your water count is too high for the amount of food you have eaten which is practically nothing. Low carb, high protein.  And man does it feel good to eat. Honestly, it feels like I have been starving for a day and I could dance around in happiness after that first initial bite. I am going to devour this bowl of food.  Only 15 more minutes until I have to get back to work. Why does lunch always disappear so fast when I am on the computer but when I am outside for a walk it seems like its forever  Hopefully K-sta...

Oh hello

Hey there stranger, it's been awhile, hasn't it? I don't even know where to begin!! It feels nice and calm that my head is screwed in and I don't want it to EXPLODE. The speech went great. It was short and sweet - Jack went off his speech and did an amazing job. I was really impressed, his was pretty sweet. We were a bit taken a back because there was no podium. Jack wrote his speech on his phone.. so it was a bit weird for him but so did a couple other people. Actually one, it was one other person and it was Jamaal's family member so Jack shouldn't feel awkward or anything. YAY! Christine is married. I'm so happy for her. She has the whole week off - lucky goose. Then again, today is my Friday. Tomorrow is good friday so that's a day off but because I usually have fridays off, I get a lieu day so I GET MONDAY OFF TOO!!! Major smiles up in here. So lets get this show on the road shall we? Okay so this is what happens when you forget your protein ...
