Food + workout update

Greetings, again.

So here's the food scoop-
Breakfast: 1/2 protein bar and an apple.
Lunch (and a big portion I might add): Spaghetti squash, tomato sauce, veggie ground topped with parsley.
Mini mini snack: an apple
Dinner: rice, broccoli, cabbage (with lots of garlic) and chicken... it was takeout. Bourbon St Grill to be exact. This is what happens when there's no protein at home and you are hangry after a killer workout.

Tonight's workout
77 minutes of cardio. 60 minutes on the treadmill. 17 minutes on the stationary bike.
Treadmill: Walking for 10 minutes then running for 2 minutes. Last 10 minutes, did an incline of 6.5 and speed 3.4
Bike: honestly I wasn't paying attention to speed but I kept it on level 1 and treated it as my cool down post treadmill workout.

Today was a good day considering I left the office to run some errands and walked instead of taking a drive and I hauled my butt to the gym. I can't even remember the last time I went to the gym :(
Lately I've been attempting Focus T25. I'm in love with the workouts. BUT! This week I lost my focus and have not done any... call me crazy but I'm cramming (2) weeks worth of workouts into a week and 2 days.. goodnight for now. 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
