It's official... it's Day 6

Whoops. Guess I forgot to post about day 5. Well not really, I did post.. I just didn't have an official post entitled "day 5". I hate when people are inconsistent now I've become one. Gosh darnit I just can't win at life.

So this was my breakfast post workout. It was DELICIOUS.

Here's my workout
5 sets of 10:
Chest press 1 set at 35 lb, 2 sets at 25 lb and 2 sets at 15 (seriously been awhile since I worked out my chest)
Pectoral fly: 25 lb
The above workout was with the machines at the gym then I headed to the weights and did...
Bicep curl: 10 lb dumb bells and lost track of my sets and ended up doing 10 sets of 10...
Teapot dips: 7.5 lb dumb bell

20 minutes of cardio before weights and 5 minutes post weight. I also wanted to do my core but after all of that, my arms couldn't lift the smallest medicine ball of 4 kg. I figured I should be done for the day. However as I'm writing this, I have a slight grin on my face... YES I am totally going to do some assisted crunches and ankle touches. I'm never done working out my core. I love my body but the one part that I would love to tone up that would help my confidence to the extreme would be my mid section. I'm going to hop to it! 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 ...

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 ...
