Goals

Every day I try to accomplish mini goals.

Today isn't just a regular day. Not like any other day.. no no no. It's a family get together. Family get togethers are like "it's someone's birthday you can have a little" "it's a celebration, have some wine / booze it would be a sin not to" "why aren't you having any of my birthday cake? So rude. Just a sliver!" Etc. I am thankful that my family understands and respects my choices of lifestyle. Not every family does. And some people just don't have the self control / will power. I get that. I've been down that road many times. And this is why I make mini goals.

With that being said, today I propose to you my mini goals and then I will blog by the end of the night (or tomorrow) if I achieved them and what exactly happened...

1. Complete Speed 1.0
2. Reach 10,000 steps (even though my goal is 13,000.. usually on weekends I barely make it to 7,000)
3. Stay low carb
4. ACTUALLY HAVE JUST A SLIVER OF BIRTHDAY CAKE.
Four mini goals.

Warning! Do not read the next little bit if you have low self control for sweets!!!

I'm just going to go into detail about my sisters birthday request. My mom makes this insanely, fantasting, amazing, mouth watering delight of an ice cream cake. It's absolute heaven when it touches your lips. Friends that are allergic to chocolate (how do they live) even give in to this cake and pay for it later.

Bottom layer is a beautiful cookie crumb. Next layer (I'm not 100% of the order but it is a combo of these layers) is chocolate ice cream. Next layer CHOCOLATE. Like just melted chocolate. This cake takes time. Freezing then adding a layer then freezing and then another layer and frig it's just soooo good. Getting carried away here.. next layer vanilla ice cream and of course another layer of chocolate and lastly ... cappuccino ice cream!!! Oh and then a drizzle of chocolate and I think she sprinkles on some sort of topping .. might just be the cookie crumb but I haven't had it in so long so I'm having a hard time remembering. But guys, trust me ... you haven't had ice cream cake (PROPERLY) until you've had mom's.

People who don't have self control!! You can read now :)
Bye. I'm done. Just kidding.

Speaking of desserts I'm currently eating a mini breakfast of 1/2 protein bar. Just a couple bites so my stomach isn't growling as I'm dying during another workout. Yay for double days! Today guess who's joining me? My mom. Yes. I warned her of the intensity. Speed 1.0 isn't that bad. Like you go hard then it's a minute of stretching then you go hard for 2-3 minutes then stretching out the related muscle group. It's not my favourite workout but it beats lower focus. Anywho, I'll be writing again later so 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
