Goals

Every day I try to accomplish mini goals.

Today isn't just a regular day. Not like any other day.. no no no. It's a family get together. Family get togethers are like "it's someone's birthday you can have a little" "it's a celebration, have some wine / booze it would be a sin not to" "why aren't you having any of my birthday cake? So rude. Just a sliver!" Etc. I am thankful that my family understands and respects my choices of lifestyle. Not every family does. And some people just don't have the self control / will power. I get that. I've been down that road many times. And this is why I make mini goals.

With that being said, today I propose to you my mini goals and then I will blog by the end of the night (or tomorrow) if I achieved them and what exactly happened...

1. Complete Speed 1.0
2. Reach 10,000 steps (even though my goal is 13,000.. usually on weekends I barely make it to 7,000)
3. Stay low carb
4. ACTUALLY HAVE JUST A SLIVER OF BIRTHDAY CAKE.
Four mini goals.

Warning! Do not read the next little bit if you have low self control for sweets!!!

I'm just going to go into detail about my sisters birthday request. My mom makes this insanely, fantasting, amazing, mouth watering delight of an ice cream cake. It's absolute heaven when it touches your lips. Friends that are allergic to chocolate (how do they live) even give in to this cake and pay for it later.

Bottom layer is a beautiful cookie crumb. Next layer (I'm not 100% of the order but it is a combo of these layers) is chocolate ice cream. Next layer CHOCOLATE. Like just melted chocolate. This cake takes time. Freezing then adding a layer then freezing and then another layer and frig it's just soooo good. Getting carried away here.. next layer vanilla ice cream and of course another layer of chocolate and lastly ... cappuccino ice cream!!! Oh and then a drizzle of chocolate and I think she sprinkles on some sort of topping .. might just be the cookie crumb but I haven't had it in so long so I'm having a hard time remembering. But guys, trust me ... you haven't had ice cream cake (PROPERLY) until you've had mom's.

People who don't have self control!! You can read now :)
Bye. I'm done. Just kidding.

Speaking of desserts I'm currently eating a mini breakfast of 1/2 protein bar. Just a couple bites so my stomach isn't growling as I'm dying during another workout. Yay for double days! Today guess who's joining me? My mom. Yes. I warned her of the intensity. Speed 1.0 isn't that bad. Like you go hard then it's a minute of stretching then you go hard for 2-3 minutes then stretching out the related muscle group. It's not my favourite workout but it beats lower focus. Anywho, I'll be writing again later so 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 ...
