Saturday vibes

Might I just say what a babe I looked like on Saturday. Generally I don't wear make up, do my hair or really put much effort into the way I look but I was feeling it on Saturday. Woke up early, put some make up on, did a quick abdomen session and then hauled my ass to work to train my replacement!! Jack and I were supposed to go to dinner as well but he was feeling under the weather. That's okay though, it gave me time to enjoy some wine and make many different dips for Sunday's mothers day - and a greek yogurt fruit bark too! 


Saturday after the training.

DAMN GIRL.

Check out my stomach. And my forearms now that I'm noticing. I've always had a bigger  upper body and tiny legs so I sort of look deformed lol but lately I've been doing more weights upper body so hoping the fat will just slide off my body. Hoping and crossing my fingers. So as you can see I was doing my tri's and bi's plus obliques and some cardio.

Yay me for finally learning about my body and how it can take to change. Cardio is not the answer my friends, it's all about the weights.

And it's a good time to learn too since my 30th birthday is a week and a half away. Omg. Jack just booked our weekend getaway in Niagara Falls so I'm hoping to shed some more fat / skin / weight whatever. Okay I take that back, I don't care about weight because it's just a number but I would be happier if I was a tiny bit smaller. Either way I'm still happy with my progress and my journey so far.

As usual, 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'...

Trying not to get too sick =(

Don't hate me but I did not log my food this week. Trust me, you don't even want to know. Just assume the worst. I told myself I wasn't going to go to the gym or eat healthy and guess what - it was a complete success! Now it's Monday and I am whole heartedly dedicated to getting back to my usual self. Except there's one problem: I'm catching a cold. With that being said, I am so thankful I had a day to meal prep before this sickness gets any worse. Last night I made my 98% shepherd's pie (thanks Kristina 😊 ) with Yves original ground round, julienne carrots and frozen mixed vegetables. Mashed potatoes I added greek yogurt, butter and a splash of almond milk (as seen in the picture below). Kristina, Christine and some green Strong bow.  A reminder to self. Even though I'm feeling a bit under the weather I'm still going to continue this healthy lifestyle and make the necessary changes to build a stronger me - inside and out...

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 ...
