Today is the first day in a week that I have been able to get out of bed and oh boy it feels truly amazing. I still feel “Bleh” in a sense but its better than thinking I am truly gonna die..like I was thinking the past couple days. I swear I though God was just gonna take me right then and there. 

Today is the first day back to the gym if I end up making it there which I should. I haven't finished my Christmas shopping yet. So I have to get that done also BUT side not my car doesn't work. 2017 Elantra and my battery cant withstand the -30 C weather Canada gets.... So I am waiting on getting that fixed. OH and I need to go grocery shopping. :/

I did a quick upper body workout at home from fitness blender. And now I’m lying in bed and I can barely raise my arms.

Today I get to do some Christmas baking with my grandma and I’m so excited !!!

Today I’m just doing cardio and core again. My next day off is Christmas Day so I’ve gotta be strict about going to the gym and eating right!!

Today’s meal.

Finally made it to the gym... it's been a week and havent worked out.

It's crazy how not staying active can really mess with your mood. I found myself being more aggravated and agitated. But I'm back !!

It felt like a month not gonna lie but it was only a week that's the crazy part. I'm still meal prepping and eating mostly healthy.

Today was cardio and core so my carbs were decreased today. It was my day off today so I ended up making a wig (^that's my natural hair ) and had to go get a police record check for my second job.

Its 940 pm and I'm already excited for my breakfast man !

Tomorrow is HITT and core 💃🏽 and I'm excited to push myself. I have so much to do tomorrow and I need to make a list before I go to bed.

Let's talk about WINTER. Man ever since it started getting pitch dark at 4pm it's been messing with my schedule. So I'm trying this new thing with my workout schedule.

I will be working out from home 5/7 days a week and going to the gym on Sundays for an hour of cardio. I'm going to try this for 2 weeks. I'm giving my boyfriend my gym pass to use for the winter if this plans out.

I stopped working out in the mornings and started working out after work because I didnt want to have to wake up extra early just to drive to the gym. Now I am switching it up and waking up around 0500 to do my workout and shower because once I get home I'm not gonna want to workout.

I FINALLY bought 10lbs weights for my home!! I am so happy! This will help me out a lot especially for the snow storms in Ottawa we have already gotten and -28 C in November.

I did a core workout with these bad boys today and it felt great I'm excited for what else I can train with them. Whoop whoop. Tomorrow is back and arms. Which I'll train after my job interview 🤞🏽.

Can you tell I need to incorporate different core exercises into my workouts haha. But it was great.

I had this photo ready to make a post last night but I was so tired and just wanted to pass out..so I did.

Yesterday I went to sushi with the boo so I trained legs. I usually do that Mon and Fri but i really wanted sushi so i switched it up.

Yesterday was actually a good workout and I feel it today for sure. Friday is usually my heavy day and I'm excited for that.

Today I did back and cardio. It was supposed to be a rest day but I skipped the gym Friday and Saturday. This weekend my diet was TRASH. I finally got those pillsbury cookies though. I usually would eat the whole package in one sitting but your girl still has some cookies left in the kitchen.

I went home and had my meal prep and I've come to the conclusion that's its way too much food so I think I'm gonna split in half for the next two days.

So now I'm gonna have some edibles and a glass of wine and watch a movie. It's my day off tomorrow and I couldn't he more excited.

Today was super quick I did 25 min of cardio 15 stair master and 10 incline treadmill speed walking.

I'm gonna try and add 15 min after every workout when I'm not rushing. Tomorrow is Monday and I tend to skip mondays so we will see how it goes.

Didn't end up training arms today. My day was a bit rough. Alarm didn't go off, didn't finish work on time. No caffeine all day. Didn't have my lunch meal prep ready due to lack of groceries so I ate out. But I headed to the gym anyway and trained legs which was nice and quick.

Tomorrow I'm training arms and shoulders oh how I hate arms.
