Last nights vibes

As planned I was to drink the wine with 3 other people. We didn't get together so now it must happen tonight. Like I said before, I'm not about that lifestyle anymore.

Exercise update: I made it to the gym!! Second day in a row and I could not be more proud of myself.  I did 50 minutes of straight cardio, upper the incline for 10 minutes at 5 then went back down. Afterwards I moved to the weighted machines to work on my upper body:

Chest press- 2 sets @30 lb, 2 sets @15  lb
Tricep extensions - 2 sets @35, 2 sets @25
Bicep curl - 20 lb
Pectoral fly- 20 lb
Deltoid fly - 2 sets @25, 2 sets @ 15
Seated row - 30 lb
Side crunch (each side) - 25 lb
* 4 sets of 12

My shoulders and triceps are sore. And surprisingly my obliques aren't in pain. I haven't worked out my love handles like that in a lonnnggg time. So I'm thinking of a new goal (over the next few months) to increase my weights to the 30s. That's achievable right? I feel like my arms are so weak. But hey, got to start somewhere.

As for the food I didn't take a picture of:
Pre gym I had a teaspoon of peanut butter and an apple. Post gym I had an apple.. dinner I indulged in a few glasses of wine and nachos - Tostito chips, cheese, green peppers, tomatoes and green onions and I had a couple pieces of spicy chicken. I was dared to eat a jalepino - for those of you that know me I cannot handle spice at all. But! I did it anyways. Now what shall I dare Kristina to do? She already said whatever I dare her to do she MUST DO. Drop your ideas in the comment section... muahahahaha!!

Today I need a rest day. And I'm taking it. I'm about to prep some beef less stew for the week. I've already made my healthy snack for tonight: greek yogurt based dip.

Combine the following, Greek yogurt (obviously), mayo, lemon juice (about 2 tablespoons), doll, seasoned salt, garlic powder. Done. It's delicious! This time around though I added a couple drops of sriracha and cayenne. Maybe next time I'll add chili flakes.. who knows. I was feeling dangerous. Lol.

Kristina's coming over soon. She doesn't know this but we are going to play Just Dance - a video game full of embarrassment. Stay tuned.


This is the Greek yogurt dip. Sooo good!!

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 ...
