This week's adventure (So far)

Greetings. Again.

Let's hop to it.
Tuesday I was sort of fasting.
I had my first meal at 10:30 am - leftover cheesy bread (from take out Domino's pizza) and it made my stomach do flip flops for a solid 2 hours!! I'm not sure if it was the carb amount or the cheese but I won't be touching that crap for awhile! (and by crap I mean cheese).
Lunch: roasted veggies
Post lunch: romaine, shredded carrots, croutons, ranch dressing
Dinner: 1 glass of white wine, 1/4 pint of Canadian, 4 breaded and sauced wings, fries and gravy (with white vinegar too).

Workout
Morning: 100 abdomen assisted crunches, 50 ankle touches + 15 minute walk outside
Afternoon: 35 minute walk (again, outside)
Evening: 15 minute treadmill +  (all below 3 reps of 8):
Leg extension: 55 lb
Seated leg curl: 50 lb
Seated leg press: 75 lb
Hip adduction: 120 lb
Hip abduction: 100 lb (usually I'm stuck at 90 lb) - YAY!
Horizontal calf: 135 lb + 140 lb (3 reps of 8 for each weight)

Wednesday (yesterday)
Breakfast: rice and roasted asparagus and peppers
Lunch: Santa fe chicken (salsa, rice, chicken, black beans - baked)
Dinner: Steak, mixed veggies, 1 glass of pinot, garlic toast. PLUS! 1 large fry and Mc Chicken from McDonalds. I WAS CRAVING SO HARD. Not like it matters but this was post gym.

Workout
Morning: 15 minute cardio
Afternoon: 40 minute cardio (walking with my home girl, Kristina)
Evening: 30 minutes cardio on the stationary bike (before weights) + 15 minutes cardio on treadmill (after weights) + 3 reps of 8 of the following:
Standing lat pull down: (2) sets at 30 lb, 1 set at 25 lb
Chest press: 25 lb (usually at 20 lb) another YAY!
Pectoral fly: 30 lb
Deltoid fly: 30 lb
Seated row: 35 lb (here there are 2 different handles so I strive to do both which I THINK targets different muscles in the back - because it feels different - I could be wrong though).
Tricep extenion: (2) sets at 35 lb, 1 set at 30 lb
Bicep curl: 20 lb
Side crunch: 25 lb (each side)


Wednesday and all the walking. Second one down I actually had the fitbit on my sneakers - which still tracks my activity when I'm on the bike so that's why the colours are all wonky. (Thx for the tip, Nikki!)


This beautiful steak. I think I found my new go to when I arrive at Boston Pizza! Medium rare 8 oz steak with double the veggies, and a piece of garlic toast. PERFECTION. Yum. I want it again..


This is where I left the day at. Almost at 20K steps. Can't wait for the weather to become warmer!! 

PS: I want to say I "deserved" that Mc Donalds because I worked out so hard yesterday but I can't. A cheat is still a cheat, deserved or not and I already 'cheated' on Tuesday. So that just means I have to be a good little b*tch the rest of the week. Oh Kristina, this will be a damper on our weekend festivities!! 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 ...
