Good Friends

Good friends are hard to find. After receiving this
delightful text, I officially have someone to kick
my tush {literally} into gear.
Day one was 50 squats- they got done 
around midnight. I decided that
an earlier start was probably 
a good idea. Except I didn't look at the
chart so I did 5 extra squats today! Rats!
Hahaha. Anyways. 2 days of the squat challenge
complete and I even got on the 
treadmill for a half an hour walk/jog
and then did some major stretching and 
free weights. Life feels good tonight.... UNTIL
I opened out mail to see Rhys has $650 worth of
long distance charges. See ya later
feel good endorphins! Fingers crossed it's a 
mistake and it will get sorted in the morning.

Broken City

My sister's boyfriend Kyle was asked to open a 
show last night at Broken City! This was his first
paid gig and while I was really tired and nearly 
bailed, the text saying that she was
bummed that we weren't going to come was
enough to get my tush out of bed and head
downtown. Luckily Rhys and I had passed out for
almost 3 hours evening so even though Rhys
had to be up at 430 this morning, I think
he is doing okay.
Kyle put on a great show! I know he 
does hip hop, and Amy said it wasn't
really "mainstream" so I wasn't sure what 
to expect. The first guy did more mainstream 
rap, and he was honestly pretty good. 
Rap isn't really my thing, but live performance
is always different than listening to an album.
Kyle however is an artist. He does his own thing.
He isn't trying to be anybody else but him, and it
was SHOCKING. 
Kyle is QUIET, like quiet quiet quiet. In the 
10 hours I've spend with him, he has probably said
all of 10 words. So to see him get up on stage and have 
"characters" was really cool. Rhys was so impressed, 
on the drive home he just kept saying that he
finally kinda gets who Kyle is. It was really 
awesome to see him in his element and we
were even tucked away in bed before midnight.

I suck at life.

So my weekly goal list was lame.
The only thing I stuck to was eating clean. 
I perfected my bowl of zoodles and I'm
still in love. I don't know if I will ever eat
regular pasta again to be honest. They taste 
good, have great texture and a small zucchini
is only 20 cals. Yup... pasta is out. 
I'm going to continue on with my weekly 
goal list and hopefully stick to it this week.
Rhys and I had a great couple days off 
together. It's been over 6 weeks since we
had days off together that we stayed home
to enjoy. It was delightful to be at home 
on snowy days just reading, catching up on 
shows, and hanging out together. 
I've been making more of an effort to get
home to the farm and see my sisters but 
sometimes a weekend at home is really nice,
especially when ever other is spend at work. 
I love my .7 and don't think at this point I 
will be giving it up for quite some time but the
working every other weekend is kinda a drag.

This weeks goals are:
1. Meal prep and eat according to plan
2. DRINK 2.5 liters of water/day
3. Exercise 3x
4. Start the 30 day squat challenge

As most of you know, I was not blessed with 
a Kim Kardashian booty and I would love a little
more junk in the trunk so here's to doing a bazillion
squats!

ZOODLES

I've found a new love of my life... Sorry Rhys.
It came wrapped in a nice brown box and gleamed
white and shiny when opened. Thanks
to World Cuisine, I am the proud 
new owner of a spiralizer.
I've made a zoodle meal 2 days in a row
and I'm hooked. My fav was using zoodles
with tomato sauce and chicken meatballs.
I swear I could eat that every day for the next
month. SOOOOO good.

November Goals

Well a quick dash to the farm this weekend to grab
the treadmill has sparked a fire under my behind.
My meal plan is ready. Hair, groceries, and meal prep 
is the game plan for tomorrow. I'm making some
Weekly and Monthly goals to try to keep me from
going off course while I'm  trying to create healthy habits.

My goals for this week are:
1. Meal prep and eat what is on the plan
2. To workout 4x with a combo of weights and cardio
3. Spend my spare time reading, not watching TV
4. Drink 3 liters of water/day

My Goals for the month are:
1. Continue to meal plan and prep weekly
2. NO PIZZA
3. Focus on sleep routines
4. Stick to my workout plan
