Food + workout update

Greetings, again.

So here's the food scoop-
Breakfast: 1/2 protein bar and an apple.
Lunch (and a big portion I might add): Spaghetti squash, tomato sauce, veggie ground topped with parsley.
Mini mini snack: an apple
Dinner: rice, broccoli, cabbage (with lots of garlic) and chicken... it was takeout. Bourbon St Grill to be exact. This is what happens when there's no protein at home and you are hangry after a killer workout.

Tonight's workout
77 minutes of cardio. 60 minutes on the treadmill. 17 minutes on the stationary bike.
Treadmill: Walking for 10 minutes then running for 2 minutes. Last 10 minutes, did an incline of 6.5 and speed 3.4
Bike: honestly I wasn't paying attention to speed but I kept it on level 1 and treated it as my cool down post treadmill workout.

Today was a good day considering I left the office to run some errands and walked instead of taking a drive and I hauled my butt to the gym. I can't even remember the last time I went to the gym :(
Lately I've been attempting Focus T25. I'm in love with the workouts. BUT! This week I lost my focus and have not done any... call me crazy but I'm cramming (2) weeks worth of workouts into a week and 2 days.. goodnight for now. 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...

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 ...

Time for a new adventure
