Dreams

Dreams are creepy.
Yesterday I was watching "Frasier". Remember that show? Anyways, Frasier had a weird dream and the whole episode was him and his brother (Oh Niles!) trying to figure it out.
Well, I had a weird dream last night I proceeded to google its meaning twice last night. I also took screen shots so I wouldn't forget.
Too accurate and scary for me!

Dream # 1
I was being chased in my old neighborhood by my parents neighbour. He was zombie like and ended up shooting me in the head. Just like in the episode of Walking Dead last night.
First paragraph but no clue why it was my neighbour.
Dream # 2
I was swimming for my life.

Booooo, back to work on Monday. I am in no mood.

12:15 p.m: Had lunch. No breakfast. Leftovers from dinner last night. Pretty good the day after. It was just veggies with some glass noodles. It was some sort of mushroom sauce.
Is this a lot? Should I be eating less? I mean, it's all veggies and the glass noodles were actually not that much, just looks that way in the photo. I feel full, but not "I'm going to throw up" full. I am satisfied. I don't know.

5:00 p.m: Veggie bacon. The tomato, feta, quinoa concoction from the other day.

6:00 p.m: Protein shake. Makes for good desert. I was craving something tasty. It was just rice milk, strawberries and protein powder. This new powder my trainer got me is 'strawberry ice cream flavour'. So good! It makes my shake taste like ice cream. You know I love it!

I just watched the movie Thor. I went into it just being told by two women who's opinions I respect that it is "an ok movie but it's eye candy, Thor is hot"... AGREED. That man is hot. Very hot.

7:30 a.m: Cereal with rice milk.

12:15 p.m: OMG DELICIOUS FIND! I thank a friend for introducing me to do it but this place called Karine's near the class I am taking. Amazing. It's run by these tattooed Armenian women. WHAT!?! Armenian people aren't like that so it was kinda awesome. I loved it. Anyways, I got fatoush... and it was done right!! No one can rival my mom's fatoush to me so the fact that I liked this just as much was badass. Anyways, I really wish it was closer. I'm gonna need to take some lunch trips over.
Under it all was the salad. I didn't end up eating any of the stuff on top!
Exercise (6:30 p.m): 30 mins on treadmill in the condo gym. This girl from Degrassi was on the treadmill next to me. It was funny. I wanted to be all "I totally watch Degrassi!" but I shut up.

8:30 p.m: Went to a pub for a friend's b-day. Had a spinach and grilled veggie salad with goat cheese. It was actually reallllly good. Also split half a brownie with a friend.

Results

So, I got weighed and measured again this morning. Boooooooooo!

I was EXACTLY the same as 2 months ago. WTF. Ok so maybe I lost like 1% body fat but still, the scale was the same to the decimal. FAIL!

I don't know. I mean, at least it didn't go up but still. It's strange though cause I feel way more muscle these days than before so I figure that has a lot to do with it. Meh.

Anyways, my trainer has now put me on 'no carbs except at breakfast' for 2 weeks and then I'm getting measured again. She thinks I may have plateaued I guess cause I've been doing the same thing now for a while. Soooo this is gonna be tough. Everything is a carb. We'll see how it goes...

Sorry, no new news to report! Off too google no carb recipes.
