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 between is a tad difficult. Then you have the patients "I left a message and no one called me back" WELL DUH. You left a message over the weekend, I just got in and I'm trying to CHECK the messages. Sometimes I wish my patients just read the blog so they could understand the life of a receptionist / administrative assistant. Then again, I really don't want them to know things that I'm going through that I just want to rant on here.

Blogging I find is just .. so therapeutic. It doesn't even matter if anyone reads it, it's just nice to have a journal and express myself. I used to express myself in harmful ways and I'm just not about that lifestyle anymore. 

Currently I have a headache. And now that the messages are taken care of and I sent the intern home (it's already started to snow) it's getting pretty dead / slow in the office. I'm thinking of leaving early myself. If the weather gets bad and I'm taking transit to my parents place, I don't want to be waiting out in the cold having Mr. Jack Frost nipping at my bare skin. Sometimes I think I should get a ski mask but then it's like, "It's March.. winter is almost done. I'll just get one next year". But it feels like winter is never going to be over!

Before I forget let's skip to food. I haven't eaten much today. Honestly, I think my body is still recovering from the foods on the weekend:
Breakfast: Protein shake
Snack / lunch: Couple bites of a brownie flavoured protein bar

Are we noticing a pattern here? Okay okay, I haven't consumed a lot of protein on the weekend and I wanted to make up for it! Did you know when you eat protein you actually BURN CALORIES while eating it? It's like your body is doing the workout for you as you sit there and eat. This is why trainers and nutritionists will tell you to snack on a protein shake before bed if you are starving because it's almost like saying 'zero calories'. I'll update in this post later if I make it to mom/dad's and hopefully able to get in a workout (inside - definitely not outside)! Stay tuned.

Few more pictures from the weekend. This was our waffle bar ♡

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 ...
