Day 2

Another fresh start to the day!

Made my mystery tea this morning. I call it a mystery because awhile back I decided to combine all my tea bags (insert joke here) and put them all into a container. Ranges from different flavours of GREEN TEA - peppermint, super berry, blueberry .. etc. While my tea was steeping I focused on abdomen this morning - quick 225 total crunches. 

Prior to the minor abdomen session I weighed myself. Gross. I haven't taken my weight in so long. This morning I'm at 188.6 lb. 
Let's let that sink in. 

I may not look like that weight (or maybe I do) but I know I don't FEEL like that weight. It doesn't matter what I feel like, it is what it is. I can only go down from here. The next 30 days will consist of:
- no junk
- no alcohol/beer/wine
- no eating past 8 and enjoying a ton of flavoured teas. 

This is now the diary of a sober alcoholic. I'm not one to drink everyday but I tend to drink on the weekends and sometimes go overboard. Hence, the constant posts of what day it is. I don't want to psych myself out though or get stressed / overwhelmed - just taking each day as it is. 

Another Tuesday has come and gone and today my co-worker wasn't in. Lucky her being on vacation! Today has been jammed! 
Nutrition (and tons of water)*
Meal 1: small handful of mixed unsalted nuts, cup of blackberries
Meal 2: baby kale salad with ranch dressing and parmesan croutons
Meal 3: (if you even call it a meal) - pre workout and few bites of protein bar
Meal 4: leftovers from last night - chicken, peaches, veggies and basmati + a salad (tender reds, spinach, crumbled vegetable crackers, less than 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese and ranch dressing)

Exercise/workout:
Upper body using the machines - LAT Pull down, deltoid fly, seated row at 5 sets of 10
Wish me luck and stay tuned..

UPDATE
All the upper body machines were TAKEN. Oh my goodness - why does this always happen to me? Every woman in that section was using a machine I required for today except the lateral raise. So I started off with that - 3 sets of 10 at 25 lbs.
Then I wanted to move to ANY upper body machine but the ladies were taking forever and no one was using the leg machines (with the exception of abduct/adduct) so here was my workout:
3 sets of 10
Leg extension 55 lb
Seated leg curl 55 lb

4 sets of 8
Horizontal calf 130 lb
and again - 150 lb
+ 20 minutes of cardio - stationary bike

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 ...
