Adult win

Being an adult sucks. I remember in my younger years wanting to grow up and doing what I want, when I want and how I want. If only we were rich and could be in that zen. Currently it's lunch time and I've paid my Rogers bill, and inquired about a pre approved mortgage. YAY! Living the dream life. I miss the younger years though - not giving a shit about what you ate, and now it's all about counting calories, intermittent fasting, some sort of fad diet and/or keeping up with a healthy lifestyle.

Speaking of which.. here's my update for yesterday's food and exercise (plus so far today):

 
I had to make this picture huge because it was so fcking amazing! Boiled carrots/peas/green beans, roasted potatoes (garlic, pepper, salt and paprika) and lastly the chicken schnitzel! Instead of flour I've been using unflavoured protein powder and it is BOMB. Shoot I just remembered I was thawing pork tenderloin ... gotta make more schnitzel - I doubt Jack is complaining. 
Second recipe I'm going to make tonight: Cauliflower parmesan chicken (technically cauliflower riced)

 1 minute and 34 seconds to do 10 burpees. Of course the last one was a walk out burpee but 1 minute and 34 seconds isn't bad especially for someone that isn't fit at all and lacks so many muscles I could be considered a string bean. Between sets of burpees I was jumping rope. I'm proud to say, second round of burpees I finished in 1 minute and 35 seconds. However - last set took me almost 2 minutes! I'm not going to lie, I'm still pretty proud of myself (even at the 2 minute mark). And you know what? I'm going to the cottage on Friday and yes, I'm going to bring my weights and plan on doing more burpees!

 Look at this little cutie. I literally just finished 5 sets of 10 side crunches using these weights (about 22.5 lb), walk away and come back with a glass of water and see this. "Mama, cuddle me. Don't lift, pet me". What an attention seeker. Glad he did this after I was done though..

 I'm really trying to do better this week and the last week. My intent isn't to lose weight OR tone, it's to make my organs happy and stop consuming crap. This was my breakfast: 1/2 scoop unflavoured protein powder, lemon yogurt, spinach and almond milk. It was absolutely delicious and the perfect consistency. I'm definitely going to have another one for dinner.. to go alongside scrambled eggs. High protein, fibre dinner.
Oh and the meals I was planning to make later ... that's more meal prep. HAHA JACK. 
(he hates when I meal prep)

 Protein shake to start the day. Mid morning snack I had 10 large seedless green grapes and now - more chicken schnitzel! 1 large piece of schnitzel + a smaller piece of chicken dusted in protein powder and baby carrots (raw). 

Although Monday Kris came over and I had a couple beers.. I'm actually feeling really, really good about myself. My body feels cleaner and fuller. My metabolism is back up to regular speed and I'm eating every 2 hours. Lunch is over, time to get back to work. 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 ...
