How can I do my cardio if it's SNOWING!!!

It's March 30th and it's apparently going to snow this afternoon.
Snow? It's Spring. What the actual sh*t Canada?

The last couple of days we have been having beautiful weather and I have been so appreciative. Walking on my lunch breaks, even getting off the transit bus earlier before my stop so I can get in additional cardio but it doesn't look like I'm headed that way today.

Yesterday was 3 degrees C and there was no wind, my ankles were showing and it was gorgeous. Today, 3 degrees as well and it feels like it's -3 with that wind. I got off the bus 1 stop before mine, and my itty bitty ankles were so cold.

Why didn't you wear your winter boots? Well that's a great question.. ain't it? Tonight I'm sleeping over at my parents place. I have an alteration appointment for my bridesmaid dress tomorrow and my mom wants me to come over (she is just DYING to play with her make up and hide my scars that I have on my arms) or she's just dying to see me. Who knows, whatever, I'm going. My bag is packed with spanx(sp?), shoes for the wedding and my running shoes. Plus my lunch and snacks - before you know it my gym bag is filled. Sure I can walk around in my winter boots but when I'm wearing my other shoes, where do I put them to rest? And what if tomorrow is gorgeous and I want to go for a walk? I'll have to lug those things around in an extra bag? I don't like being the bag lady when I have several errands then accumulate over 4 bags plus taking transit. No thank you. Plus, if there are elderly people around, you know I'm going to give them the seat over my 4 bags of groceries. Nothing bothers me more than:
a) seeing young kids (children in elementary school / high school) sitting on the seats when there are old people NEEDING seats and actually out of breath from climbing that 1 step to get on the bus and
b) NO ONE GIVING UP THEIR SEAT for disabled, pregnant or the elderly. No respect I tell you. My kids (when I have them) will think I grew up in the 50's with the respect and decency I'll be teaching them.

Don't you love how I completely get off topic. I do too. Like I said, I'm visiting my parents and today is my cardio today (will post in next entry of my workout from Tuesday and yesterday). I plan on doing my cardio by inserting my Just Dance 4 or Just dance 2015 into the Wii and the rest will be history. I'll be doing it in the basement so no one will be able to see me making a complete fool of myself... and no video tapes (KRISTINA!!)

It's 9:43 am and dead in the office. Everything is pending on patient's returning my calls or E-mails. Better make use of this time by completing another entry with my nutrition / workout updates. 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'...

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 ...

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 ...
