Feeling just a tad guilty.

So after work I went to our nearby bulk barn and grabbed some Easter sweets for the office and of course a little somethin somethin for me (corn chips with flax). They can get addictive and they are sooo good. After my trip to the bulk barn I went to No frills.. I also had to pick up bandaids for the office. As luck would have it, Jack was running late after work so I'm sitting around waiting for him to come grab you.

Yes I would have LOVED to walk home from there and get my much needed steps however I had zero Kleenex and I just couldn't seem to catch my nose. (PS current step count: 9,276) .. and as luck would have it again - Jack went to the WRONG GROCERY STORE. Mind you he's sick too - he just doesn't want to admit it. Like I tell the guy I'm at Bulk Barn and then going to the No Frills in the same plaza and even told him the address yet he goes to the location by the gym. I knew I should have hauled my ass to the gym. 

1. No gym (guilty as charged)
2. Didn't eat clean for dinner (like I had at lunch). 

I was craving a sub. 12 inches of cold cut on Italian herb and cheese with ALL of the following:
Cheese, lettuce, tomato, green pepper, cucumber, onion, green olives, EXTRA pickles (I wouldn't have it any other way), salt/ pepper, honey mustard, light mayo + sub sauce. It's hard to believe I used to get "cold cut sandwich with lettuce, cucumber and sauces". When you become an adult you learn to eat. 

As I was staring at my gut I realized I have to change. Yes this feeling comes and goes but now I really want it to stick. I want my habits and my mindset to stick. I got up, found my assistant ab crunch (machine thing), resistant bands and dumb bell. 

Some of the exercises I don't know the name of but I worked out my abdomen, obliques / love handles, shoulders/ bicep, arms and in general upper body. 
Dumb bell 5 lb each side - front raises + shoulder press, forarm lift (totally unsure of the name)
Abdomen assistant crunch- 250 total 
Ankle touch (for obliques) -150 total 


Bicep curl with resistant band 3 sets of 10


This one I'm unsure what to call it - I took both sides of the resistant band and folded together, lifted my arms slightly bringing them together and then separating and pulling apart. I don't even know the proper terms to explain it. Imagine the lady in the blue moving her fists toward one another and then stretching the band / her arms in the opposite direction (apart). Does that even make sense ? Well it felt good. Also - 4/5 sets of 10 - it felt REALLY good.

Now I just have to stick to a routine and continue this every 3 days. Tomorrow after work I plan on going to the gym for strictly cardio and possibly some sumo squats. I am SO behind on my steps. Omg I can't even.

Stay tuned.

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 ...
