Happy daze and a little self reflection..

Do you ever wake up and just think to yourself - 'Today is going to be a great day'. That was me this morning. And still is - I can't shake this good feeling. Surprisingly when the bus passed me this morning (just as I got to the bus stop), still didn't ruin my mood. I'm just feeling overall, pretty good. This morning I walked a quick 15 minutes before getting into work. As usual, I have to take a picture. The two pictures above = the same river just different angles. I can't wait to hit the trails this weekend - maybe Jack will accompany me and if not, I'll be bugging K-star to get some steps. I think I want to focus more so on weight training then cardio. There are some fit people that only do cardio but they lose their tush, and I like having a big one. Today I'm going to focus on lower body and my obliques. Already this morning I did 150 ankle touches. I want to do 150 more before I leave the office. As for step count currently: 3,621 - onc...

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...

THE LAST. MID-DAY. UPDATE.

I'm starting to think I should just post my blogs at night instead of constantly updating the same entry or titling an entry 'update on this' and that etc. So here's the last update during the day. Here's my second meal of the day (yesterday - if you didn't get the above memo). JUST KIDDING! Mom's homemade potato and leek soup. No cream, she used milk - I'm wondering to myself if it would work if I attempted the recpe with almond milk and made it vegan? Thoughts? It was delicious by the way. I can feel my stomach rumbling right now. But that could also be because I only had a carrot stick for breakfast and a strawberry. Whoops. Another one of my favourites that mom makes - beef stew with potato, beef (obvi), carrots, turnip and parsnip. She let the meat cook in the broth for hours so it was super tender. *mouth watering* I tried to make the same recipe but vegetarian only and I incorporated Yves breakfast sausages - barf. It was disgusting....
