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 ♡

Update on goals

Hello again. It's meeee... 🙃 Okay so goal 1 ✔️ Completed Speed 1.0 with mama bear. I completed the day with 10,162 steps. My dessert was literally a sliver of cake (sister called it a crumb) haha with 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, few strawberries and walnuts. And I made a low carb lasagna and guess what? It was a huge success! So my mom makes this beautiful hollandaise based lasagna with chicken and asparagus. I took it upon myself to grad 1/2 cauliflower head and grated the stems of broccoli as my base. Did a layer of the sauce, chicken, asparagus, broccoli, cheese, and added (4) spinach noodles for texture. Topped it with Parmesan cheese and BOOM. Magic was born. Other lasagnas for the family included turkey with tomato sauce, and then (2) variations of the hollandaise other than my own- one with broccoli and the other asparagus. I was absolutely thrilled to find out mine was a success. Especially since I thought it was going to be like soup. Don't forget that when ...

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'...

Rant on perfumes / cologne

Found this rant in my iPhone notebook: Ladies. Why do you bathe in perfume? Some men do it too but I had to bring it up for a little rant because I was just outside walking to the bus stop and all I could smell was perfume and I was still 10 or 15 steps away. There was a woman waiting in the shelter. Decked out as if she was going downtown to pick up an older man in the financial district. Either that or she works in a top notch hair salon... I can't even make a joke properly because my head is still fuzzy from that smell. When I am in a closed space and someone sprays perfume (an abundance of it) I get light headed accompanied by a headache. It's not fun at all. I'm not the only one either which is the reason why most gym change rooms have signs not allowing perfumes to be sprayed. Same with certain departments in the hospital. Nurses shouldn't wear perfume because of the contact with some patients. Anyways, all I'm saying is - even though YOU can't ...
