Adult win

Being an adult sucks. I remember in my younger years wanting to grow up and doing what I want, when I want and how I want. If only we were rich and could be in that zen. Currently it's lunch time and I've paid my Rogers bill, and inquired about a pre approved mortgage. YAY! Living the dream life. I miss the younger years though - not giving a shit about what you ate, and now it's all about counting calories, intermittent fasting, some sort of fad diet and/or keeping up with a healthy lifestyle.

Speaking of which.. here's my update for yesterday's food and exercise (plus so far today):

 
I had to make this picture huge because it was so fcking amazing! Boiled carrots/peas/green beans, roasted potatoes (garlic, pepper, salt and paprika) and lastly the chicken schnitzel! Instead of flour I've been using unflavoured protein powder and it is BOMB. Shoot I just remembered I was thawing pork tenderloin ... gotta make more schnitzel - I doubt Jack is complaining. 
Second recipe I'm going to make tonight: Cauliflower parmesan chicken (technically cauliflower riced)

 1 minute and 34 seconds to do 10 burpees. Of course the last one was a walk out burpee but 1 minute and 34 seconds isn't bad especially for someone that isn't fit at all and lacks so many muscles I could be considered a string bean. Between sets of burpees I was jumping rope. I'm proud to say, second round of burpees I finished in 1 minute and 35 seconds. However - last set took me almost 2 minutes! I'm not going to lie, I'm still pretty proud of myself (even at the 2 minute mark). And you know what? I'm going to the cottage on Friday and yes, I'm going to bring my weights and plan on doing more burpees!

 Look at this little cutie. I literally just finished 5 sets of 10 side crunches using these weights (about 22.5 lb), walk away and come back with a glass of water and see this. "Mama, cuddle me. Don't lift, pet me". What an attention seeker. Glad he did this after I was done though..

 I'm really trying to do better this week and the last week. My intent isn't to lose weight OR tone, it's to make my organs happy and stop consuming crap. This was my breakfast: 1/2 scoop unflavoured protein powder, lemon yogurt, spinach and almond milk. It was absolutely delicious and the perfect consistency. I'm definitely going to have another one for dinner.. to go alongside scrambled eggs. High protein, fibre dinner.
Oh and the meals I was planning to make later ... that's more meal prep. HAHA JACK. 
(he hates when I meal prep)

 Protein shake to start the day. Mid morning snack I had 10 large seedless green grapes and now - more chicken schnitzel! 1 large piece of schnitzel + a smaller piece of chicken dusted in protein powder and baby carrots (raw). 

Although Monday Kris came over and I had a couple beers.. I'm actually feeling really, really good about myself. My body feels cleaner and fuller. My metabolism is back up to regular speed and I'm eating every 2 hours. Lunch is over, time to get back to work. Stay tuned.

Update on goals

Hello again. It's meeee... 🙃 Okay so goal 1 ✔️ Completed Speed 1.0 with mama bear. I completed the day with 10,162 steps. My dessert was literally a sliver of cake (sister called it a crumb) haha with 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, few strawberries and walnuts. And I made a low carb lasagna and guess what? It was a huge success! So my mom makes this beautiful hollandaise based lasagna with chicken and asparagus. I took it upon myself to grad 1/2 cauliflower head and grated the stems of broccoli as my base. Did a layer of the sauce, chicken, asparagus, broccoli, cheese, and added (4) spinach noodles for texture. Topped it with Parmesan cheese and BOOM. Magic was born. Other lasagnas for the family included turkey with tomato sauce, and then (2) variations of the hollandaise other than my own- one with broccoli and the other asparagus. I was absolutely thrilled to find out mine was a success. Especially since I thought it was going to be like soup. Don't forget that when ...

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 ...
