Boxing!!

Do you ever get so ticked off you just want to punch something? Me too. All the damn time. Sometimes I'll even punch the wall.. no, not smart at all but it happens.

A friend has been going to Boxing lessons for about a month now (I think) and I always wanted to join but I'm extremely terrified - I'm mostly afraid my form will be incorrect and it will be a one on one experience. Other than that, I'm absolutely pumped! I really hope I enjoy myself because I hear boxing is an INSANE WORKOUT. There's been a Groupon for this place since forever, I always saw it being recommended to me on my account and I figure - about time. I better get my ass in gear!

If I learn the proper form and enjoy it, I'm 100 % sure I'm going to get a dummy or a punching bag and start punching when I'm angry. I already checked out prices - expensive - of course for the good quality and cheap for crappy bags that will break in no time. I hope it's all upper body though and not lower body - I get enough leg workouts from Hip Hop Abs and walking to and from work.

With boxing aside let me update you on food so far today:
Breakfast: 1/2 banana - I don't know what's up with my body but the sugar content is crazy. I couldn't finish my banana - stomach hurt shortly after.
Lunch: leftover chilli topped with Greek yogurt and green onions - I can't even finish it. I'm so full already ... amazing how water is so filling.

I haven't been able to get up in the morning for a workout - and it's literally killing me inside. I really want to do those double days of workouts but I just cant. My head is always glued to the pillow and I tell myself "just 10 more minutes" about 5 x and before you know it, I have to leave in 10 minutes otherwise I'm late for work. Is it me? Is it the food I've been eating or the weather? It's already Friday so I don't have to wake up early tomorrow but I am going to wake up for 8 am, do a quick ab sculpt, breakfast and get ready for that boxing lesson.

As for today's workout - because of the rain, I most likely will not be walking after work but I will definitely work in a Total Body Burn and Fat Burning Cardio - hopefully Kristina won't come over before I'm done!

On a side note - you know what's crazy? The one day I forget to check the weather in the morning, it rains. Badly. I left my home and shortly after it starts spitting rain. I kept thinking to call Jack since it's his day off to come get me and take me to work - but it's only a 20 minute walk and it wasn't raining hard. So I continued my trek to work. Halfway through my walk it is POURING RAIN and again, I think to myself, "maybe I should stop, wait in the bus shelter and call Jack" but in the very VERY far distance I could see my work. It was only 10 minutes away. I pulled my sweater and draped it over my head and continued walking. I was soaked by the time I got home. Who called me? My boss aka my brother offering a ride.

Lesson from my story: always keep an umbrella in your bag because it's better to be prepared then not prepared at all. Any who - time to check my social media and then back to work. 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...

The snow has come...

It's April 7, 2017 and it's snowing. There isn't a lot of snow that is staying on the ground but what the actual fck - it's snowing in Spring! Today I scheduled a walk on one of the most gorgeous trails in the east end and now I don't think we will go. We are both somewhat of clutzy people and snow can sometimes make you slip and thus fall - nu uh. Not today. Guess what?! Two of the weights are off my shoulders! I not only finished my speech but I also found my swim suit. It was hidden in a mountain of summer clothes - eek - probably summer clothes that don't even fit. Time to get my ass in gear! So that's that, yay I'm happy that I found my bathing suit. Tonight is the rehearsal dinner. Tomorrow will be a bit hectic. This may not seem like a lot for you but it is for me. The plan: wake up, get ready, pack my bag for a slumber party, have the bridesmaid dress by the door (could you imagine if I forgot that?!), SHAVE MY LEGS omg the dress is long bu...
