Just. Keep. Pushing.

Sometimes you have to listen to your body and I'm hoping today isn't that day. It's Monday and I don't want to skip a Monday. Skipping a Monday generally leads to a double Tuesday or skipping a Tuesday... then a Wednesday then OH FCK. I better get my butt in gear or maybe I'll start next week instead. 

Currently: tired with a sore stomach, laying in bed. I probably shouldn't have had that bacon / tomato / cheese on toast thing. Having dairy once a week might be playing against me. I WANT TO WORKOUT. Today is a double: lower focus + ab intervals. If my stomach is still uneasy an abdomen workout will definitely be out of the question. But maybe I can push for lower body. Will have to wait and see (probably update you tomorrow if a workout happens). 

Before I forget I had generally the same breakfast as Saturday - (2) over easy eggs and 1 slice of bread. I'm just realizing now I've had a lot of carbohydrates already and I'm supposed to have them around the time I workout. There's too many rules with fitness in combination with eating habits. I'm going to burn the calories anyways.. I understand the purpose of a carbohydrate - gives you fuel. It is after all the number one source of energy but if I had them already today do I still have to have them after I workout? No right? Plus, carbs are pretty filling. Loved that little conversation with myself.

I had another conversation with myself earlier today. It included contemplating whether I should meal prep this week or not. Mind you I did take the week off... so I'll be home to cook. But then again I want to focus on myself. Chores are not on my list. Some people consider cooking a chore, other people don't because they love it. I'm sort of stuck in the middle. I love cooking but I also consider it a chore. If I'm hungry I want food NOW I don't want to waste my time in the kitchen slaving around a hot stove making something. I don't even care if it's presentable as long as it's edible I'm chowing down on it. So I've decided I will be meal prepping tonight (roasting veggies) and tomorrow (finishing the veggies). 

Went to Costco today with my mom. My grocery list:
- almond butter 
- celery sticks 
- asparagus 
- broccoli 
- cauliflower (this was all at Costco) 
I also bought ginger root and veggie ground. 

Thinking of making shepherds pie (with cauliflower instead of mashed potato) with roasted asparagus. The broccoli I'll be eating raw with celery as snacks (with some sort of Greek yogurt based dip). I'm also thinking of making the Parmesan sauce my mom made except add the veggie ground and add it on top of rice instead of squash. Will see how that goes over. Ideas welcome by the way!! 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 ...
