Day 4

Proud of my boo boo, Jack for getting up early (again) for an early morning gym session. 

Today's focus was SUPPOSED to be strictly cardio but forgetting my towel and getting bored on the treadmill led me in a different direction.

45 minutes post cardio I saw the adductor and abductor machines were free - so I hopped on there and then had a chance to walk around the gym with Jack. Usually when I come to the gym I head straight to the women's section which is blocked off so no men are allowed.  The women's section also has less machines, less weights and less options. It's mostly cardio with a few machines and poor selection of weights.
After I finished my legs I pretty much turn to Jack and I'm like 'yo I'm bored and I'm hangry - can we go' and sooo - he went to the men's locker room to shower and change.

I on the other hand continued to be a dirty, sweaty and smelly mess and headed back to my home (the women's section) and wouldn't you know it - THE WEIGHT SECTION WAS EMPTY. PRAISE THE LORD!

Grabbed the 25 lb circular weight (for the bar - I have no idea what it's called) woot Noob! Completed those side crunches and then struggled through the tricep dips. I know it was a random muscle split but I couldn't help myself. I honestly couldn't. I had to do some other form of working out and not just sitting on my ass waiting for Jack to clean up and get ready.

Anywho - there's work to be done now. Stay tuned.

Update on goals

Hello again. It's meeee... 🙃 Okay so goal 1 ✔️ Completed Speed 1.0 with mama bear. I completed the day with 10,162 steps. My dessert was literally a sliver of cake (sister called it a crumb) haha with 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, few strawberries and walnuts. And I made a low carb lasagna and guess what? It was a huge success! So my mom makes this beautiful hollandaise based lasagna with chicken and asparagus. I took it upon myself to grad 1/2 cauliflower head and grated the stems of broccoli as my base. Did a layer of the sauce, chicken, asparagus, broccoli, cheese, and added (4) spinach noodles for texture. Topped it with Parmesan cheese and BOOM. Magic was born. Other lasagnas for the family included turkey with tomato sauce, and then (2) variations of the hollandaise other than my own- one with broccoli and the other asparagus. I was absolutely thrilled to find out mine was a success. Especially since I thought it was going to be like soup. Don't forget that when ...

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 ...

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'...
