It's meal prep time people!

What a busy weekend.

Some days I'm sad because I have no plans for the weekend so I usually grab some wine, Kristina and play Just Dance (and also go to the gym in the morning) but then other weekends like this past weekend I'm busy!! I love having plans but when it cuts into my meal prep time I feel incredibly lost the entire week - like I go out after the gym and have a 12 inch sub or end up at Swiss Chalet and just binge on all the calories I worked off - like sure, yeah, maybe I "earned" it but really I'm maintaining my body and the whole purpose of my meal prep and working out is to change my body. My end goal for this journey is to appreciate myself inside and out - it's a slow process but I'm not helping myself by going out and skipping out on my meal prep.

Well it's not really "skipping" the meal prep more so I have too many plans therefore no time for the meal prep part!

This weekend I had (2) bridal showers for Christine + my sister in law's birthday dinner. I kind of wished it was the same day but it wasn't. And to top it off, I missed out on Nikki's birthday. I thought this would be the year I finally make it out. Nikki's birthday is March 28 and Jessica's (sister in law) is March 24th. I thought for sure Nikki would celebrate her birthday the first weekend in april after her birthday but as luck would have it - the cards did not play out the way I had thought. So this year I want to make it special. I can't post what I want to plan just in case if she's reading ! Jack has a bachelor party downtown on Saturday so I'll have the place to myself. I'm really hoping to make my spicy peanut satay meatballs MEATLESS! Maybe one year make it vegan - but let's not get crazy.

Back to meal prep.

My go to for meal prep. Large ziploc bag of romaine, shredded carrots, separate bag of croutons and ranch dressing. I don't have cucumber on hand. Unfortunately it grew mould! So nope refuse to use that sh*t. 


(2) bunches of asparagus, broke off the woody parts then cut in half. Seasoned with salt, pepper and contradictory salt free mrs dash garlic and herb. EVOO + sprayed some non stick spray on the baking sheet. 25 minutes at 400 in the oven and you have some delicious roasted asparagus. 


Recipe for Santa Fe chicken. Sadly I forgot to get instant rice - guess mine will be EXTRA runny as I will be making my brown rice separate on the stove top. 


$47 for 10 meals - lunch and dinner. And some people complain that "eating healthy" is expensive. 


We also got some deli sliced meats and ancient grains bread which is not included in the picture since we will not be needing bread and meats for the recipe. I will post the end results tomorrow when I show off my lunch. As for now, I'm going to continue cooking, enjoy a glass of wine (or a few) and rock out to one of my all time favourite bands, Linkin Park. 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 ...
