AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I'M SO EXCITED!!!!

Today is one of the final days I work with my boss and this office. This is actually the last day I'll be working along side my boss in person. The final Tuesday clinic.. dun dun dun..

We are extremely over booked so today will go by fast and I wanted to pop on while I'm ahead. First patient is scheduled not until 8:45 am so this gives me a chance to update on nutrition and working out.

Lately I have been eating fairly well - mostly protein and vegetables and A TON of avocado. Jack and I started eating 1/2 an avocado a day and it's been splendid. Saturday rolled around and I made scrambled eggs and instead of eating it plain (as I had planned) I smashed an avocado and put the egg and avocado into a wrap. I was full 1/2 way through. Tossed it in the fridge and then forgot about it. Boo urns what a waste. Aw well.

As for working out as promised I have been focusing more on weights rather than cardio and it has been doing wonders for my body. I visibly have less flab on my arms and my stomach is toning (only I am noticing at the moment).

This morning I woke up 20 minutes earlier and worked out my triceps and biceps with:
5 sets of 10 with a 5 lb dumb bell (the next highest dumb bell is 25 lb)
- bicep curl (twice)
- tricep dips
- tricep teapot dips
- tricep curl

okay maybe I worked out my triceps harder but I don't know any bicep exercises other than the curl. Time to venture off! I have another blog that's a draft I should get to but before I do today's nutrition as follows (y'know to stay accountable and what not):
Breakfast: 12 grain bagel from Tim Hortons, double toasted with a scrape of butter
Snack / lunch: 1/2 cucumber sliced, homemade guacamole, regular tortilla chips, protein shake
Dinner: The celebration dinner - salad / wings/ beer.

But will see when the time comes. 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 ...
