Post Tuesday.

Gah. Yes Gah!

Tuesdays are always so hectic at work. I usually end up working through my lunch and staying until at least 6 pm. Considering the fact that I haven't woken up at 5 am yet, I knew I had to haul my butt to the gym (which I did) therefore I was not going to stay another Tuesday super late. 

Now that it's Wednesday, I have sooo much work to catch up on. And honestly, I don't think I'll be reaching my weekly goal of waking up at 5 am for the gym. So let's change that to everyday MAKE it to the gym no matter the time and alternate between upper body, lower body, and strictly cardio - either outside, elliptical, bike, whatever. I won't be taking a rest day as I didn't make it to the gym on Monday. 

So here's my update from Tuesday's workout (in no order specifically):
Seated leg press - 1 set 90lb, 1 set 80 lb, 4 set at 60 lb
Leg extension: 1 set at 55 lb, 2 at 45 lb, 1 at 40 lb, 2 at 25 lb (this was my last machine so needless to say my quads were burning)
Seated leg curl: 45 lb (all sets)
Hip Abduction: 85 lb
Hip Adduction: 100 lb
Horizontal calf: 90 lb

Side crunch (each side) 25 lb - for my stubborn love handles.
6 sets of 10 (all machines/exercises)
I started my workout with 15 minutes cardio, and ended my workout with 30 minutes cardio. 

Meals (Tuesday): 
Breakfast - protein shake (1/2 scoop chocolate vegan shakeology, almond milk, water)
Snack- Couple bites of my power house yogurt - shakeo protein, almond milk, greek yogurt, mixed berries
Lunch- Leftover spinach dip from Sunday with pumpernickel rye bread
Dinner (post workout) - no excuses but I was starving. Bourbon St Grill: broccoli/garlic/ carrots/cabbage, rice, honey glazed chicken and bourbon chicken. High protein, high fat. Does that count as keto? Just kidding. For the first time in forever I ate it ALL. I felt like yesterdays workout I burned a ton of calories. I probably didn't but all I know is that the dinner I had planned for yesterday wouldn't have been enough so that's going to be tonight's dinner. 

Kale chips and veggie burgers. Just thinking about it is making me hungry again.. wtf. Better chug some water! Anyways, it's a little past 8 and I should check the messages before the phones start ringing. 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'...

Trying not to get too sick =(

Don't hate me but I did not log my food this week. Trust me, you don't even want to know. Just assume the worst. I told myself I wasn't going to go to the gym or eat healthy and guess what - it was a complete success! Now it's Monday and I am whole heartedly dedicated to getting back to my usual self. Except there's one problem: I'm catching a cold. With that being said, I am so thankful I had a day to meal prep before this sickness gets any worse. Last night I made my 98% shepherd's pie (thanks Kristina 😊 ) with Yves original ground round, julienne carrots and frozen mixed vegetables. Mashed potatoes I added greek yogurt, butter and a splash of almond milk (as seen in the picture below). Kristina, Christine and some green Strong bow.  A reminder to self. Even though I'm feeling a bit under the weather I'm still going to continue this healthy lifestyle and make the necessary changes to build a stronger me - inside and out...

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 ...
