Ugh. Man I need to lead a life of leisure. Or live on my dream farm with animals and crops. One day.. one day..
Sleep was meh.. had trouble falling asleep.. tossed and turned for quite a while. Maybe I should have gone for that run after all.
Breakfast:
1 egg + mixed veg from BBQ yesterday.
Coffee
At work:
2 Pastizzi (Maltese pastry filled with cheese and peas)
No regrets. And honestly, I want a third one.
Lunch:
Leftover soup from last week
Crossfit tonight. It looks intense (the Metcon) but I'm sucking it up and going. Stepping out of my comfort zone will only produce good results. And I may cry afterwards.
For time, 15min cut-off:
400m run
then 4 sets of:
10 burpee box jumps
20 KB swings to chin
then, 400m run
I didn't die.
Dinner:
1 burger patty + salad
later some blueberries.

not thankful it's Sunday
Wish it was Saturday.
Sleep was ok, nice and long.
Breakfast:
Coffee, apple w/almond butter.
Later, 1 hard boiled egg.
Late lunch after a good shop:
salami, cheeses, rice crackers and pickles.
Made some lara bars, tasted them. They good.
Dinner:
BBQ'd beef/porl/veal patty w/ veggies
Later:
small bowl of Ruffles hot wing chips. Kinda tasted like alldressed, I prefer BBQ.
I did lots of chores today: Groceries, cleaned, laundry, BBQ'd and yard work. I was alone all day and got lots of shit done. I managed to spend some time outside with the yard work and got a bit dirty. Felt very productive and I'm happy the yard is cleaner. ALL the laundry is done, sheets and all. Feels great getting into freshly washed sheets on a Sunday night.
F-U Monday, though. F-U very much.

Saturday the summerist.
It's a beauty out there today. I went to bed around 11 or 11.30 and woke up at 10. I could have slept longer but I wanted to make the 11am class. And I did. It wasn't too intense. My workout was meh, and the metcon didn't kill me. I used 15 lbs for the db push press (the squating ones) and ring rows instead of chins cuz I can't do them anyway.
12 / 15 / 9 of each. meh. There were a lot of people in the gym today because there were teams practicing for some crossfit competition. Seemed intense. Lots of running, rowing, wall balls and burpees. Fuck that.
Had an americano from the Primal Grind cafe which made an appearance at the gym. It was good. Also some sort of lara ish nut ball. It was 2 bucks, what a rip off. But it tasted good with my coffee. I got my fat % measured again, and guess what... I've made more progess! Now I'm at 21.4%, before I was at 24.something % and when I first got measured I was 28.3%. I am very pleased with my results. I am at the low end of "normal" and just near the "athletic" range. Awesome. All the bitching I do and guilt I feel after poor food/drink decisions but I still make progress. This weight stuff works for me, it's just slower than I'd like. That's fine. I'll try and squeeze in some runs, maybe make use of that backpack I bought and run home sometimes. Summer also noted that my skin is loose. hahah.. yes. I am soft, my fat is not hard at all. It's all very soft. There was a big decrease in my stomach, back and quads...good areas to lose fat. Anyway, enough about that.
Breakast, post workout:
protein smoothie
Dinner at Ceilli Cottage on the patio with my aunt and Jamie:
2 cod cakes / green salad.
Some of aunties terrine, yum
bite of blood sausage... uhhmmm.
And of course, you can't go to the Ceilli without a friggin sticky toffee pudding for dessert. We shared it and it was fantastic. Great food like that is NEVER regrettable. Fuckit.
Now I am lazing on the couch. I don't feel like going outside.

TGIFFFFFFFFFF
Seriously, thank the lawd it's Friday. I drank a bit too much last night and sang karaoke with my coworkers. Of course I hogged the mic and performed for everyone.. don't let me do that!!
I plan on working out later. Fuck the heat and my hangover, I did it to myself. I can't wait to live in my farm house.
Breakfast:
Protein smoothie and coffee. I had to force it down. If I didn't eat that (drink) I would have gotten McDonald's for sure this morning. I almost did anyway, but I went into Fresh n Wild and got a broccoli and bacon salad and a coconut water (MA's fave!! haha). It was really good and a much better choice than hash browns and an egg mc muff.
I really want a burger for lunch though. I brought soup... but I can't stop thinking about hamburgers. Maybe I'll save it for tomorrow and get a Priest burg!! yeahhhhh.
Lunch:
Hero burger and fries. Didn't eat all the fries though, they were mushy. I meant to get the GF bun but I forgot.
Snack:
4 little plums. Love plums, me.
Later:
1 pep patty
at home, a small bowl of veggie soup, now I'm barbequeing some chicken wings for dins. Threw together a salad w/tomatoes, fresh basil from the porch "garden",.
Skipped the gym tonight, i'll go tomorrow and run sunday.

Thirsty Thursday
It's the new thing to say now. So I'm saying it to be cool for you two. Hey guys it's thirsty thursday lets go drinking !! wooooooooooo!
Tonight I will drink some gin, I've been craving it all day. It's those damn pregnancy cravings. Gin it is.
Sleep was meh again. Why am I having trouble sleeping this week? I think it's because I am slightly pms-ing. I say slight because it's over a week away. I also am running low on magnesium and I think it helps me sleep.
I set my alarm for 6.15am this morning so I could go for a run. Ask me if I went.
Also, I've been thinking about taking some writing courses. Those thoughts turned into actions this morning as I signed up for a creative writing course at U of T in the fall. Can't wait! Well, I CAN wait because I have 2 months of summer to enjoy, a weekend in St. Jacobs and a vacation in Europe. Let the good times roll. Let them roll slowly, though. So, since I'll be taking this class, I am going to do my best to practice better grammar with this blog and not type like I am texting or messaging online. Bring on proper punctuation and caps where caps are needed! Partaaaaaayyy!! I have a few reasons for taking this class. Firstly, I want to get into writing more. I didn't realize I enjoyed it until recently. I found myself wanting to write down funny and interesting things that happen in life or in my head. It makes me feel good writing it down and sharing with people, especially when I get some laughs. This roots back to my childhood when I wanted to be a standup comic when I "grew up". The shy's took over and that never flourished, I went to school for art and design instead and I wanted to make money for a living. Plus, I've always been irritated by female comics (aside from Cathy Griffin and Tina Fey). ANYWAY, another reason is that I'd like to improve my "skills" and maybe even make a career out of writing. I don't know what genre yet, but perhaps this class will help me figure that out. There are quite a few classes at U of T for writing and if this goes well, I'll continue with more. Maybe in a perfect world, I'd be an awesome freelance writer that works from wherever in the world I goddam want to because of the magic of the internet get paid and recognized and become secretly famous. (chaaa right). Or maybe I can get that huge old country home I've been dreaming of lately, live off the land, write my stories and make my crafts. That sounds like bliss to me.. except for maybe in the wintertime when I will get depressed and fat but we'll deal with that when the time comes. I won't shave my armpits or legs and I'll have a really long braid and wear the same denim skirt every day with a tank top and no bra. You can see it, can't you? hahahaa... ohh dear.
Ok, FOOD.
Breakfast:
1 egg / spinach / half an avocado
coffee
Snack at work:
1 large banana / peanut butter
bit of coffee
Lunch:
1 jerky pepperette from the farmer's market
vegetable/beef soup
some chips
Snack:
4 small plums from the farmers market. I have no limits with plums, they so good.
Tonight:
gin dranks and .. more plums? there will be pizza at work but I'll try my best to dodge that.
Bye.

ahhh short weeks rule
sleep was not great, it was disruptive and my mind woke up each time my eyes did. Boo to that. It might have been the coffee I had at 11am. Tsk tsk. Plus I should have gone to the gym but I chose to laze around and make nut butter instead.
Breakfast:
1 egg + spinach / coffee
Snack:
apple + walnut/almond butter - yum
Lunch:
two big bites of my bottom lip
spinach salad: 2 eggs, 1 tomato, few walnuts and lemon juice.
I'm back. Oh that lemon juice felt so good on my freshly bitten (twice) lip. It still burns.
Shit I just realized that's it for food for me until dinner. Should have saved the apple for an afternoon snack.
Crossfit tonight NO BAILING
I was just reminded that tomorrow night is a drunk night at work = drinks + karaoke. uh-oh. This means Fri/Sat/Sun are workout central fo sho. I was planning on going 4 days in a row. The only way that can happen is if I go in the morning tomorrow and we all know that won't happen.
Coconut water before workout
Crossfit
PR bench 75lb
Deadlift 165lb
Dinner:
Jamies vegetable beef soup (hardly any beef so I fixed myself a protein smoothie) just the rest of MA's coconut water, protein powder and some berries.
Felt peckish, had some rice crackers w/pb and honey. Peckish feelings have disappeared.
Goodnight!

Shlong weekend
It was a goodie. Spent it with some great people in Sault St Marie. I can't wait to go back, it's just so relaxing up there. The weather was beautiful, we ate, we drank we played pool. It was perf. However, I must pay for all the food and beer I consumed. It was ridiculous. I just don't hold back when I'm away. Sorry!
Today, a new day. It started at 5am (more like 4am):
coffee
On the plane:
more coffee - starbucks actually. It was magnificant. Also some crappy little white cake and fruit salad. I was hungry.
At work:
americano
Lunch:
tuna salad from.. wait for it... Fusaro's. Tossed the bread out. OFF BREAD. OFF SUGAR. REEN!
saved some of the salad and ate it later in the day.
i might have had 1 pep patty and a few starburst jellybeans.
Dinner will be a smoothie. I don't think I have the energy for Crossfit. I hardly slept this weekend, we were sharing a double bed.. this is difficult when you are used to sleeping in a king. Not to mention sleeping in someone else's bed is always hard. So, I am ZONKED.
Tomorrow night I workout f'sho. <--lies!
I stopped at the bulk store then the g-store on the way home. I made some walnut/almond butter (yum!) and had a smoothie for dinner.
Just ate an apple with my nut butter. Had to!
