Happy daze and a little self reflection..

Do you ever wake up and just think to yourself - 'Today is going to be a great day'. That was me this morning. And still is - I can't shake this good feeling. Surprisingly when the bus passed me this morning (just as I got to the bus stop), still didn't ruin my mood. I'm just feeling overall, pretty good.



This morning I walked a quick 15 minutes before getting into work. As usual, I have to take a picture. The two pictures above = the same river just different angles. I can't wait to hit the trails this weekend - maybe Jack will accompany me and if not, I'll be bugging K-star to get some steps. I think I want to focus more so on weight training then cardio. There are some fit people that only do cardio but they lose their tush, and I like having a big one. Today I'm going to focus on lower body and my obliques. Already this morning I did 150 ankle touches. I want to do 150 more before I leave the office. As for step count currently: 3,621 - once I meet my daily goal of 10,000 I'm not going to over step. 



Getting fit is a long journey - it takes will power, control and sacrifice. I'm so excited to be back on track. This blog I want to dedicate to me and my body. I haven't said this before not ever but I love my body. I'm generally pretty hard on myself and always hate on my belly but I'm happy where I am right now. Whether I get more meat on my bones or I tone - I'm happy being me and what I look like. Just the other day my coworker asked me "when are you going to get rid of this" as she pointed to my belly, I knew exactly what she was talking about - liposuction of my abdomen. Yes I wanted the surgery, I wanted the easy way out and to feel good about myself ASAP. Maybe that would help me and my mental state. But today the gears started to turn - I want to accomplish my goals by myself. I want others to know we are all in this together - nothing comes easy. If life were easy, is it really worth living? It would honestly be so boring. Bring on the challenges. Bring on the rain. I'm ready for it and I'm more than willing to fight temptations and be the better person I know I can be. 


Feeling good =)
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 ...
