Phew. Really dodged a bullet there.

PRAISE THE LORD. Hallelujah!

I was so prepared to blog earlier today about how nervous I was regarding this afternoon. I had a killer workout / training session planned with a friend and it was just confirmed that it's cancelled and we both rescheduled for next Wednesday. Just thinking about it was giving me an anxiety attack (okay that was far fetched) but it gave me the sweats! This woman was training with a Personal Trainer at GoodLife Fitness so the workouts are intense and now she makes her own loosely based on the PT she had prior. She was afraid to tell me what part of the body we would workout because she thought I would cancel! I'm always up for the challenge I'm just terrified of trying new things (alone). If I have a partner or someone there with me, it's not so bad but doing something new without any guidance and possibly "failing" .. I'm not into.

Speaking of trying something new, I'm 99.9 % sure I'm going to try boxing. There's a groupon going around that's just down the street from me - I think it's 8 classes or so for $40 (that doesn't sound right but I know it's a good deal). A friend from high school is doing it now and admits that it's an insane workout. I can't wait to sweat it out ... right after Christine's wedding.

Can you believe it's next week? Technically this week. It's Sunday April 9th!!! I have not finished the speech or the questions for this game we are involved in but there will be a huge weight off of my shoulders after the wedding.. then things can get back to normal again.

Today marks day 1 of my fruit, vegetable and protein diet. I want to feel fresh and clean (internally) for Christine's big day so that means NO wine, carbohydrates, grains, junk, cheese - except I literally just had a greek salad with feta. I won't be killing it at the gym because I won't be consuming carbs.

Nutrition
Breakfast: 1 baked potato (with skin)
Lunch: Greek salad with vinaigrette - feta, cucumber, tomato, red onion, lettuce
Dinner: 3 egg omlette with spinach and arugula topped with salsa, and plain yogurt.

Workout
17 minute walk this morning
57 minute walk this afternoon (lunch break)

I was going to go to the gym but upon leaving work I developed a massive headache and it also started to rain. Decided to have leg day tomorrow! Stay tuned.
Ps- this detox thing might be happening after Christine's wedding - as I am currently enjoying one of my last glasses of wine. #eveningwin


One of my mew favourite vegetable chips - brussel sprouts!! It happened by accident and what can I say? I'm in love! EVOO, mrs dash garlic and herb, seasoned salt and pepper. 400 degrees for 25 minutes and you have perfection.

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 ...
