Accountability

Accountability.
Account-able.

Accountability by definition: "the fact or condition of being accountable; responsibility".
I want to be more accountable for everything I do - what I eat, how / when / if I workout, how I react/justify my actions.. in summary I want to live a healthier and happier lifestyle.

Let's get back to me. Here's my introduction:
My name is Anna. I am a 29 year old overweight woman quickly approaching her 30s in the month of May. I work as a Medical Receptionist for a Plastic Surgeon and I have been confused about a 'healthy lifestyle' for the past 2 years. I started my 'journey' approximately the same time when I moved in with my boyfriend.. and that's when I started to realize how much weight I've accumulated.

I can't be too hard on myself. I know I can get back to the body I used to have if I just remember that it's a slow progress and nothing will come easy or quick. Even the procedure of cool sculpting. YES. I went there. Nearing the end of December I gave in and had cool sculpting done for my lower abdomen. I admitted defeat.

The after process was monstrous and I was not prepared to how my body was going to react. I woke up the next day and could not bend over without feeling pain. Mind you this was also only a few days before Christmas! I could barely see over my swollen and bruised stomach. It was so gross.. I was black and blue for a solid 4 days. No pain no gain right? Anyways, I assumed after a week or 2 I would see results.. but nope. The bruising subsided and the swelling went away but that's pretty much it. Stomach wise, I look pretty much the same. Results generally take up to 8-10 weeks. It feels like I'm not even close.

So that's a big weight off of my shoulders. I'll be writing again soon to remain accountable for today's food intake + workout routine. Stay tuned.

Dill Avocado Pasta Salad

Remember those leftovers from the quesadillas? I found a use for them. I would like to call this a scramble of leftovers with fresh dill, yogurt and avocado - because that's pretty much what it is. - cooked noodles (I used penne - roughly 2 cups - leftover quesadilla filling - 1/2 avocado - 2 tablespoons of plain greek yogurt - roughly tblsp of fresh dill - small handful of shredded old cheese Combine all and eat. I swear I didn't use a lot of dill but using the fresh stuff, it really comes through. And I just LOVE dill... it's the best. It's the tastiest herb (in my opinion). Staring at my lunch this morning - before I combined the ingredients I was thinking to myself "what the fck Anna. What were you thinking this looks absurd. Good luck". Especially since the avocado was turning brown.. it was very unappetizing and then one bite and I was hooked. I'm glad I didn't give this to Jack. I don't think he would have liked it. Recent

Boxing!!

Do you ever get so ticked off you just want to punch something? Me too. All the damn time. Sometimes I'll even punch the wall.. no, not smart at all but it happens. A friend has been going to Boxing lessons for about a month now (I think) and I always wanted to join but I'm extremely terrified - I'm mostly afraid my form will be incorrect and it will be a one on one experience. Other than that, I'm absolutely pumped! I really hope I enjoy myself because I hear boxing is an INSANE WORKOUT. There's been a Groupon for this place since forever, I always saw it being recommended to me on my account and I figure - about time. I better get my ass in gear! If I learn the proper form and enjoy it, I'm 100 % sure I'm going to get a dummy or a punching bag and start punching when I'm angry. I already checked out prices - expensive - of course for the good quality and cheap for crappy bags that will break in no time. I hope it's all upper body though and n

Today is going to be great

I was supposed to finish up this post yesterday. So the title 'Today is going to be great' was about March 16 aka yesterday. And the beauty of writing a blog about a previous day is that you can say what went right or wrong. Update: it was a great day. I still have yet to make it to the gym but I did make it a goal that one way or another I was going to get my steps, and I did. I will describe this later. Here is my food journal: For a morning snack (after my raisin bran muffin) I had a bag of salad. In the morning I'll pack romaine, croutons and dressing - in a separate container - then add the dressing to the bag itself and shake it like it's no ones business. It's genius really. Every leaf has an even coat and call me crazy but I think it just tastes better. Yesterday I used ranch dressing. My favourite meal made by mama biss - basmati rice with chicken, peaches, plum tomatoes and I added steamed broccoli. It's legit perfection. I have no ide
