New week, New goals

HAPPY MONDAY!

This weeks goals include:
- Early morning gym sessions (5:45 am ) at least 3 x this week
- Eat 90 % clean
- 13,000 steps per day OR a grand total Monday - Friday to reach 65,000 steps.

I also want to start writing down one area on my body that I admire. Have you ever noticed that women are super hard on themselves? Like seriously. WHY! How is it that women are never satisfied? I have a double chin / my butts too big/ i can't lose this gut. UGH I'm so ugly etc. No one is perfect. It really bothers me sometimes listening to women talk crap about themselves. I would be completely lying if I were to say I don't do that to myself. But one thing I'm realizing is that you aren't supposed to look a certain way. You are made uniquely because everyone wasn't meant to look the same or act the same etc.

My mom used to always remind me "wouldn't life be boring if everyone looked the same" and yes mom, it's true. It would be so very boring. I can't imagine a world where everyone looked the same - unless we lived in a robot world.

So far today I have been pretty good with nutrition.
Breakfast: (2) carrot / zucchini muffins
Lunch: Brown rice with soya sauce, roasted garlic potatoes and asparagus
.. wheres the protein right?
As for dinner I plan on having a protein shake + a small bowl of vegetarian stew. And to bed early because I'll be going to the gym for 5:45 am

Exercise: Today I went for a walk on my lunch 50 minutes. So far I'm just under 8,000 steps. Hopefully I can get in extra steps later and if not definitely tomorrow morning at the gym. Stay tuned..

UPDATE!
Ended the day with 9,766 steps and had steak for dinner. Indulged in some white bread and butter then had a mixed green salad, steak, asparagus, green beans and red pepper. And split this beautiful dessert of a warm brownie with ice cream with my friend.

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 ...
