half way there.

Every week is a countdown to the weekend. I live for weekends. Doesn't everybody? I may go to yoga tonight.. I'll see how I feel. The only part in yoga I like are the lying down poses. True story. I think after my 10 class is done I'll try another type of yoga.. maybe this Ashtanga I hear so much about. Or maybe I'll just start running since the nicer weather is on it's way! On that note, how beautiful is it outside today!!!

Didn't do a big shop on the weekend cuz Jamie did it last Monday.. This weekend I'll do a super haul.

Besides I'm not home for dinner Thur/Fri/Sat OR Sun.

Breakfast:
3/4 apple and almond butter / coffee / 1 meatball

Snack:
few almonds / beef jerky / Americano

2 of those chocolate from the fridge again. 

Lunch:
blackened salmon salad from Zoeys (on work!) It was a huge salad and I ate 99% of it. Now I am stuffed.

See, now I am craving more chocolate.

damn. i ate a small bag of mini reese pb cups.

Sundae

Last night I ate waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much meat. And paleo desserts. Like, seriously. I had a stomach ache all night .. until about 4am. I'm telling you, I never learn. When there are drinks involved, I am a neverending pit. It's bad.

Sunday. Deep breath.. A new day.

I had terrible sleeps all weekend, and it is ALL because of alcohol. I'd not drink but that would also be the end of my social life. And of course it is fun at the time.

Breakfast:
mixed berries, a banana and some greek yogurt / french press coffee x1.5

Lunch:
My mom's beef cannelloni. Faileo, but I love my mom's cooking. I also had a tea with milk n sugar (black orange pekoe tea is just a sin in my opinion) and I never have it anyway. Tea with like 6 'blue menu' cookies. No excuse. I was just really enjoying them, OH WELL.

Snack:
a hot pepperette, some spicy olives and a handful of semi sweet choc chips n sunflower seeds.

Pre dinner:
a date, few almonds and a taste of the new jar of almond butter. It tastes funny again! maybe it's just the brand.

Meatballs are in the oven, I'm having asparagus with them.
Yep, just made lara balls. they were ok. Sugar is crack, yo. It stops NAOW.

Crossfit x3 this week. I hope.

La première weekend de mars

Second night flying solo.

Like I said, last night I went out for a few drinks with workmates then came home and watched a movie. I ended up staying up til like 12:30 or so. I planned on going to crossfit this am but decided I needed a good night's sleep instead. Good call, self.

Glory shot of the pint.
This afternoon I have a wax appointment and later on a skinny party at the gym's 2 year anni 'do. We'll see how skinny it actually is. I think mah fran MA is coming over before hand..so I'll have the place spick and span just in case. Well I want this place spick and span anyway cuz I am Costco'ing it up with me mum domani, and most likely gonna be in Brampton the majority of the day. K.

I woke up to the wind howling and my house shaking. I kept thinking the wind noise was someone screaming, it freaked me out a few times.

B:
coffee / 2 eggs / 3 pieces turkey bacon / 1/4 avocado / salsa

I'm back baby. And I can't wait to start running in the good weather. Running is kind to my body fat. Er, should I say MEAN TO IT!

I woke up mega bloated and gassy. That'll learn me from drinkin Strongows, what was I thinking? Oh yes I was thinking 'it's Friday, what the heck'. I think I'll stick to wine tonight and keep away from the crap. Unless there are ketchup chips, we all know I can't say no to those guys. Why? Because I look at ketchup chips this way: I love them. They are my guilty pleasure. And if by chance there are some within my grasp, I will eat them because if I die tomorrow, at least I enjoyed some of my favourite chips the day before.* Of course I don't have chips in my face every day, which is a good thing. But do you see what I mean?? I can say no to other treats, because if I die the next day, whatever, they weren't my faves. But when a fave is around, Imma just go for it. (Not stuff my face, but at least have a taste).

*I also look at food this way when I am travelling.

Which reminds me, Jamie and I mentioned heading to the areas of France our relatives were from. So excited!!! It's pretty much Southern France, which is SUCH a bonus.

Oh yeah, I bought "Tom's of Maine" all natural deodorant in 'apricot' scent. Don't get it. It actually MAKES me stink. I'm not kidding. It makes me smell like a skunk–actually. My armpits don't even smell this way when I DON'T have deodorant on. It's nasty. Sorry, Tom's. Looks like you're FIT for the PIT! but not my pits. I had a Body Shop all natural deodorant which sucked way less than this one. I'm on a quest to find the best. Next stop: Burt's Bees natural spray deodorant.

I actually checked out some deodorant reviews. I might even make my own using this recipe.
I realize that is super hippy of me, but I don't care. I am turned off of regular antiperspirants because of the synthetic smells and ridiculous ingredients. Do we have essential oils still? Must ask J.
Anyhoo.

***UPDATE*** I made my own deodorant. How annoying am I to you right now? Jealous? hahaaa!



I used baking soda, arrowroot flour, coconut oil and shae butter. Mixed that up. Added some essential oils we had from when we made soap. And ... voila! It was fun too!

I'll let you know how it works. I may add some clay to it since I was a bit short on NaHCO 3. Oh, that's sodium bicarbonate for you Chemistry class failures. Kidding I just googled it!


IF I get up at a decent time tomorrow, I'll hit yoga. I'm not making any promises.

good day.

It's my Month

March! I turn 30 this month. Wow. I'll write a good post on my birthday.

Probably fell asleep around midnight, woke up about 7am. I'd say, 6.5 hrs of sleep, maybe a bit more. Not great. Not horrible. 9 Hours just won't happen on a weeknight. It really won't.

B:
Average size apple w/almond butter. Coffee.

I am waiting for there to be some sort of sale or coupon deal for AA. There are some pants I'm eyeballing. I may not be able to wait for a sale though.

It's really shitty out. Slushy and snowy. Last night felt like Thursday, I kept thinking today would be Friday. BEEWWWWWW!

S:
my GF almond bread with 1/4 avocado smushed on it. s&p. GOOD. SATISFYING.
I was hungry after that light breakfast. working out makes you burn through food like a muhfuh.
2 dates, some almonds.

L:
leftover thai red curry - see last night's dinner.
1 small orange for dessert.
1 date, 4 almonds. now drinking a decaf coffee.

Back to work!

Snackage:
1 banana w/cinnamon

later, a hard boiled egg.

Hot Yoga, 90 Min. I've never been so disgusted in all my life. Of course I was in the man zone of the room. All these dudes around me, one of them was a white older long haired dread. His dreads were  down to his ass and they were flopping everywhere. Gross. It looked like he was pissing himself at one point, thats how much sweat. That was when I had to sit down and gather myself to avoid puking. Just so grossed out. And there was a man in front of me and if I didn't consciously look elsewhere I would have seen his sweaty hairy balls. Nasty. Sorry.

Just ate dinner, it's like 10. I was hungry. Just had some mixed greens w/ an egg and half an avocado. Also a slice of almond bread.

It's awfully quiet round these parts.
