As I stood waiting for the bus this morning in the shelter, I thought to myself, DAMN it's friggen cold out. I'm wearing (2) pairs of gym leggings, a tank top, a long sleeved shirt and a cozy sweater with a burly winter coat, thick mittens, a toque and a layered scarf around my neck. All bundled up and yet I could feel the wind coming in at all directions. It's definitely not -9 C with the wind. I'm finally on the bus and in a blink (so it felt like) I was at my stop. I just missed the crossing if I was going to take another bus to the office building - which I really, really wanted to. However, I haven't been to the gym in 4 days and I haven't walked at all - so I'm way behind on my fitbit challenges - so I fought the cold and walked to the building. It's about a 5 minute walk. Pretty much nothing but in the cold it feels like forever.
Speaking of the cold and winter, I can't even complain. We had days where it was + 10 and in the double digits! Shocking for Canadian weather. This year we didn't have as much snow as previous years. And to be honest, it hasn't even been THAT cold. There are just some days where its feels like its freezing (and the wind chill does not help in any way) and other days where it's nice enough to wear my running shoes outside and enjoy the sun on a lunch break walk. It's been gorgeous. I hope people aren't complaining about today's weather.
As for myself, I'm just hoping we get more sun soon. My body is starting to feel it. Yesterday I ate relatively healthy - minus the wine I had but other than that pretty good. Lack of sun makes me feel exhausted (yes I know about my previous post stating that I feel like crap when I eat bad food and no, I don't expect a change after 1 day) but I'm just missing my vitamin D. Like I said before, I was visiting my parents on Tuesday. Mom wanted to test some make up application to cover some scars on my arms and I was dozing off. I could notkeep my eyes open. I ended up taking a nap and waking up an hour later. It was so nice. Doesn't help that Jack and I have been going to bed at 11 / 11:30pm. My kind of bedtime is 9:30 / 10 pm. We've been indulging in re-watching Community on Netflix.
So I've noticed my metabolism is back down again (darn it). I haven't been super hungry like I usually am. This is why I can't wait to get back to the gym. Monday night I was a bit bad and indulged with a glass of wine and 2 beers with wings, salad and sweet potato fries.
Tuesday .. yesterday.. and I don't know why it feels like that was days ago but like I said I was rather good. I started my day off right with a protein shake then as the day continued and my stomach was rumbling I had 1 1/2 clementine. By the time lunchtime rolled around I was devouring a protein bar (Tuesdays are our clinical days with patients until 2 pm - it's not like you can run off, heat up your lunch and eat with your mouth full and converse with patients). After the boss left, I ate some of the food that was brought for him - 1 piece of lollipop chicken, rice with veggies and some broccoli in a sauce. At my parents place I arrived HUNGRY so I had a couple bites of this chicken / rice / peaches dish (also brought this for my lunch so I'll show then) and then for dinner was a BBQ poutine with beef, peanut butter soup (totally vegan) and mom topped it with some peanuts. I was FULL!
Anywho - time to get back to work. Stay tuned.
