Thursday vibes.

Yesterday I flopped. I was craving wings so badly and the funny thing is - that I didn't even get wings!
Instead I got this beautiful creation of deep fried and battered onion rings topped with a cesar / parmesan dressing. If I didn't have other priorities like MAJOR priorities that must be taken care of today (such as going to the gym) I would have these all up in my face. But I just can't. Tuesday I went out, Monday I indulged in wine, yesterday I went out and also had 1 and half glass of wine. I don't know what it is but I can't have wine with my dinner. I find the food goes down easier with ice cold water. Or just water period. If I'm drinking any sort of booze, for me, it has to be first thing like an appetizer or while socializing or after dinner like a dessert. PS on the note of food - I also had tuna salad with probiotic yogurt (as seen below) as a snack and post walk leftover chicken and veggies.

Yesterday was gorgeous. If I wasn't super hungry, my feet were dying from not wearing my running shoes. I walked about 30 minutes before having an inner thought talk to myself about bailing on my usual 60 minute walk. It was absolutely gorgeous out and I can't wait for this rain to disappear - I got some serious walks to get to. I was talking to Jack yesterday over dinner (which I ended up getting poutine) and we agreed we both need to get back in shape - like badly. Mind you, I have never been fit. Like, never. I've been smaller but I always had somewhat of a stomach .. even just a little pouch. I really don't want to stress eat or binge eat anymore. Eating out and drinking all the time has taken a toll on my body. Seriously. SERIOUSLY. After Christine's wedding, I'm all for the healthy eating! Most of the time I'm like 'gym gym gym' but if I want to get rid of this stomach I have to eat properly. And the gym alone will not make the cut. 

Speaking of eating properly. All week I have not meal prepped - I mean, I did a bit when I roasted the mixed veggies but I'll be honest, they were store bought pre cut up veggies and I did the brussel sprouts myself. Other than that it's been eating out. Although, I can say I've been proud of myself for one thing: Every other day I have been waking up by 6:20 am to commit myself to abdomen and my love handle workout. Today I focused on obliques (love handles) and did 250 ankle touches and 100 abdomen assisted crunches. If it's raining on my lunch break I'm thinking of doing more ankle touches, girl push ups (on my knees) and some dead lifts. We don't have weights in the office but we have boxes of thousands of papers. I figure I can get creative and use that. 

Tonight I want to focus on my legs with the weights. I haven't been to the gym since Saturday and it's killing me. I am feeling the guilt. 
Plan for after work:
- haul my butt to the gym and work on legs + minor cardio
- quickly run to the grocery store and grab whatever veggie that's on sale to roast for dinner
- work on speeches and shoe game
- pass out. 

I CAN DO IT! 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'...

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 ...
