Smells like spring*

Hello Everyone!!

Hubby and I slept in today and woke up at 10:30am! We both had a busy week at work and after getting our beauty sleep we woke up energized and ready to take on the day!

Hubby got the coffee ready while I started some laundry and cleaned up the bedroom!
Breakfast: Montreal bagel, light cream cheese , capers and smoked salmon! Delicious!
I only had half of a bagel and hubby had my other half plus his bagel :)

After getting ready we went to Costco even tho we have a lot of food in the fridge at the moment..I needed to pick up Kirkland dryer sheets! They are such a good deal that I couldn't pass out! 500 sheets for $8.99! Come on this is a good deal!!
 We also picked up:

1. Steaks
2. mini tomatoes
3. bok choy

We went to some decorations store to budget our curtains for our new place since we are moving in very soon...So far I like the ones from Bouclair and they have a good deal going on 2 for 1... I am going to wait and measure the window when we go to visit our place next week so I'll be sure to get the right and correct size!

Lunch was egg salad sandwich from costco and had 3 chocolate timbits on the side with a water bottle! Wow they are so good and so bad for you!

Since I only have about 500kcal for the rest of the day I will be sipping on some organic green tea and wait for dinner to be ready!
We are having steaks and bok choy! Yum!!

I hope you guys had a good and Beautiful Saturday! xoxo

C'est Vendredit!!

Felt nice to wake up in the morning and able to breath through my nose! lol This medicine is working!!Yes!!!! I'm a fighter :) (knock on wood)


Breakfast was again the egg bun leftover with some brown sugar on it ( 1/4 teaspoon) and a cup of coffee! I didn't have any more milk at home so I had black coffee!!  I took the time to sit down and finish my coffee while looking at the birdies with my kitty in the backyard!! Love to hear them it bring summer to my heart!! :) ( I know so cheesy*)


Its Friday the 13th today.. I don't believe in it one bit! It's just a regular day like the other ones and Hubby is coming back today!! I can't wait to be with him!! He is suppose to be here late afternoon..
So my plan for today will be to go home clean up a bit and get ready for a jog outside? or a power walk!
It will help me get back in the game for my marathon training plus I can't stay at home with this beautiful weather!!! Hubby got my one of the those Iphone/Ipod holders for my jog.. I was scared to buy it at first because I read some reviews that the product would fall out of it and never stay in especially for long runs..Since I have it I've used it about 3 times and I absolutely love it!! I love the fact that I can still use the touch screen with the protector on!!
Lunch today was at my friends house, she made a sweet potato soup ( with ginger,hot pepper and carrot ) it was very good and really tasty! Since I'm sick I rather eat soup cause it feels nice instead of having a big lunch! Again I didn't finish my bowl but at least I had something consistent...
We also walked to her place and walked back to work! It was a bit windy but felt really good to be outside! In total we walked about 30 mins at and walked at a pretty good pace!

Hubby was here at the end of my shift!! It felt good to see him at home with me :)
Since he went to bed late yesterday and I'm still sick so we decided to take a nap for a few hours and get back up for dinner later or warm up something easy in the fridge and go for a nice walk! It's beautiful out*

I hope you guys had a good (day before the weekend )Friday xoxo!!

Snoozy

I feel out of the weather today! Nose is red as the a clowns nose and kleenex boxes everywhere! I am still going to win this cold fight! Not giving up!

Again this morning I forced myself to eat something consistent because I'm taking this strong medicine so I had a slice of egg bread with a got black coffee cup! Anything warm will do for me right now..!

I haven't worked out and I feel blah! I can barely walk up the stairs (4 floors) at work without catching my breath, I want this cold to go away!!!Hubby is back tomorrow that will be a bonus and he will for sure make me feel better and we'll be able to go and workout together! I can't wait !! xox

Lunch was very simple I brought some salad and tuna but since I can't taste anything I just had 1 cup of chicken noodle soup at my friends house! She was kind enough to let me take her soup :) I also had a cheese stick on the side and some Jasmin tea!

I munched on strawberries that I sliced up this morning and added some chia seeds on it to keep me full!This was actually a winner and made me feel better! Love fruits!!

Le diner ce soir is vegetable soup (knorr) It's very good and has a good taste to it!With a slice of cheese bread which I added some warm butter to it!

I'm probably going to bed early today and watch some netflix and sleep my cold/flu away!

xoxo

Birds are singing it must be hump day

Didn't sleep alright yesterday night.. I kept waking up at night... So weird!
I even had My nighttime neo citron before going to bed... Hopefully won't be the same today!

 

Breakfast was again nothing special today..I started to cough this morning and that's not a good sign! I immediately took a buckleys daytime pill for cold/flu, and drank some hot coffee, I then had a Greek vanilla yogurt with some chia seeds on it!
Wasn't hungry anyway...

 

I packed my lunch and got my purse ready for my "sick" day at work..

 

-Kleenex
-buckleys
-halls
-eucalyptus oil

 

Luckily I didn't need All the these and ended up just using the Kleenex and halls... Didn't Want to open the eucalyptus oil bottle a work, it's pretty strong! ( I have to respect my neighbors ) lol

 

Lunch was at a friends house I had about 5/6 romaine leaf with my favorite flavored tuna can ( garlic and hot pepper) with 1cup of hearts of pa and 1teaspoon of chia seeds! it was very good and really what I needed!

 

After work we stopped by the bakery ( I got a drive home from my friend ) and I got a few items which weren't needed but had to have them if you know what I mean LOL!

•  a snack size nougat ( Its been so long since I had those)
• tomato paste in a tub
• sliced mozzarella
• egg bread
• cheese bread ( small one)
• pesto paste

All that came up tp $21 which wasn't that bad..Because it was a fresh bun I decided to have 2 thin slices and add 1/2 teaspoon of butter for both slices and some mozzarella cheese on it with some very hot Jasmin tea! Half way through the second slice I was full! I don't want to force myself to eat the full slice because I felt a bit nauseous...

PJ's check...Socks check..Sweater check..Hair braided check..Hot tea check..Netflix here I come..I think tonight is going to be an early night for me..

 

Mika is about to fall asleep and I am about to do the same..

Good night everyone xoxo

Monday today?

I forgot I changed my alarm ring tone and totally jumped out of bed this morning.. I am sure I would've won the big prize on Funniest video if that was videotaped lol!


I had a pleasant surprise today when I tried my jeans this morning.. They were suddenly big on me!!
I just bought them!! I couldn't believe it!  ( I kept thanking myself for buying a few belt over the weekend) This is exactly what I need to keep motivating myself and continue to work hard! My goal is almost completed I need to pull this last stretch!


I remember when I started on this journey on January 1st of this year, all I kept telling myself is that one morning I will wake up and be able to try my old clothes on and really see the difference form my old body and that then it would've been all worth it!! And I can tell you it is!!!

*If I can do it Anyone can do it*

I wasn't too hungry this morning so breakfast was simple and I had some strawberries with chia seeds sprinkled all over it (2 teaspoons) about 120kcal with some black coffee no sugar..


I didn't have a in between snack.. I dont find myself hungry lately my throat is hurting but I am not letting it take over! I had some jasmin tea at work and had a halls!

Lunch was fun today two of my girlfriend came over for lunch..I had a big salad with a light kraft dressing ( Light italian dressing ) with a side of smoked salmon (220kcal) total and half of an avocado! Love avocados but they are so high in calories!!

My snack today was my little fizzy suckers, they are so good and a kick of energy!

Le souper ce soir is ..roll drum... my favorite Chicken & Coriander wonton soup! I really didn't want to eat anything else other than soup.. I also made some organic green tea to sip on! I did add some chia seeds in my soup to keep me full until tomorrow morning since I didn't eat a lot today!

I tried to add all the pictures tonight into one and the resolution got all screwed up! So sorry guys!

 Kisses*

Back to my 90210 netflix tv shows and my neo citron xoxo

Day 5 of my marathon training

Hubby left today for another crazy week! Hate to see him leave but I know he would stay if he could!

Breakfast this morning fibre bar! Missed them in the morning! Feels like its been a while since I had them last! Woke up 30 mins before my shift started!
Unfortunately I worked today!( yeah I know sucks right?! ) but it wasn't busy at all and I was able to leave early (11am). I got a lot I things done concerning our move! Days are going by so quickly and I honestly can't believe that we will be moving in our new place soon!!!
Yesterday I cleaned up 2 rooms ( laundry and bathroom) threw out what is not needed and did my gave away pile! I honestly feel much better and finally breath? lol I know I'm a clean freak..

Rather it be clean than messy Right?

Since hubby is not here I can't get myself to the gym so I decided to work out at home..One of my workout buddy sent me this insanity work out!! IT'S A KILLAHH!!!

I almost puked my guts out and I thought that my cardio was fine! Yeah right!! lol

I need to keep it up everyday!

I honestly find it really hard to motivate myself to get up and workout ..I know that it will be worth it and I already see the difference but it's the getting up to do it that I find hard. I am going to look up some workout motivator podcast on Itunes! I am sure that it will be a plus to have it!

Lunch today was subway I was so hungry and had a 12inch steak and cheese sub...total of 720kcal!! OH BOY.. This was a VERY high calorie lunch but we were in a rush and couldn't think of anything healthy around! I promised myself that starting tomorrow I will watch everything that I will put in my mouth! ( I gained 2lbs) - My goal this week is to loose these 2lbs and more if I can!

Since hubby is gone for the week I might just run/walk home if it's nice!!

Other than that I am not hungry since I had a pretty big lunch so I will stick with my famous green tea and catch up on some shows on Netflix. xoxo

I hope you guys had a good Monday! :)

Joyeuse Pâques!

Happy Easter everyone!

Breakfast was fast this morning, got up,showered and got ready very fast for Church this morning! I set the coffee machine yesterday so we wouldn't have to worry about it and hubby was kind enough to make bagels this morning..
Breakfast consisted of low fat cream cheese, 2/3 ounces of smoked salmon, red onions and all that on a Montreal bagel! Yum!!!

Today is a special day! I hope everyone is spending it with their loved ones! We are far from our family do we decided to go to church this morning! We went to the 12 o'clock presentation and I have to say that it was a BEAUTIFUL mass this morning!

Before leaving for church I quickly Skyped with my cousin who had a lovely surprise for me :) (I'll keep you posted on that one) and who I wished a Happy Easter!
Even tho we are miles away she is like a sister to me which made me realize that there are people that come and go in our lives and some are meant to stay! ALWAYS surrounds yourself with good & positive people also the people that want you help!

After church we were a bit hungry and decided to try out a new restaurant on the way home.. Paris Grill ...I have to admit that this wasn't a good decision and very high priced for what is on the menu. I had a croque monsieur and a soup du jour (corn soup) and hubby went for a canard poutine and a soupe du jour.. We both didn't finish our plate and were very unsatisfied with the menu and the food. The service was very good and quick. I would not recommend this place to anyone that's for sure..

We planned ce dinner ce soir since Friday. We bought mussels at costco and decided to try it out at home.. I am not keen on anything that doesn't look good and that looks like insects.. Hubby made this really good sauce/soup with whine wine,parsley,bacon,red onions,garlic...The sauce was really good but I wasn't able to finish my plate, I tried really hard but No can do.. The texture was definitely too much for me! lol I'll just sip on some tea and finish off the black forest cake that we got yesterday for Easter!

I hope everyone had a great time with their family and enjoyed Easter!
