This Week's Goals.

Shoot.
I forgot to make goals for this week. I suck.. like shoot shoot shoot.

Okay so just thinking out loud (obviously not really since I'm blogging), but I'm thinking of 3 small goals:
1. 95 % clean eating (5% is now gone since I had that major cheat meal yesterday)
2. 70,000 steps before 11:59 pm Friday night. (Currently at 42,000 so more than half way there)
3. Increase weights for upper body / compare upper body weights from previous weeks

I have yet to weigh myself. I weighed myself last week and I lost 7 lbs. But then I started to have mini cheats at night or for instance a cheat meal at dinner, then the next day I would weigh myself and feel seriously depressed.

"How could I have gained 4 pounds over night"

Because you don't. It's just food. You are bloated, the weight is not real. Plus, the scale lies. Did you know that? It's far better to go with measurements. A measuring tape is not going to erase it's numbers on it's own and tell you something otherwise. Scales are not absolute and they never will be.

Do not be hard on yourself if you gain so and so weight in 1 day. It's not true. Do not get into that funk. Do not stop trying. KEEP MOVING FORWARD. Sending positive vibes.
Stay tuned.

UPDATE:
I reached no goals. 
I'm not going to be down on myself - I should have known with the weather being so bloody cold and a bachelorette coming up on the weekend - some major cheats and less steps would have occurred. 
New week, new goals, new triumphs!

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 ...
