I fell off the wagon.

There shouldn't be a wagon anyways. Let's just say I geared away from my healthy lifestyle. This past weekend Friday until now (currently on the road) I was away in Niagara Falls.

I brought my runners, dri fit clothes, extra socks etc to make it to the gym. And then my friend was just like "be fat with me and don't go to the gym". And then I didn't. I can't give into other people's lifestyles. I have to hold my own. I made this blog to be accountable (which I am) but I want to stay in the mind set that I can do this. I WANT to do this. I HAVE to do this. I don't want to torture my organs anymore. I want to be there for my children and be alive, healthy and happy.

As usual I'm getting off the topic. Let's go back to eating poorly in Niagara:

Yes I walked the strip. Like a lot. Got my steps (yay) but also made bad decisions food wise.  Friday wasn't too bad - steak and veggies then ended the night with vodka, juice and some slushie thing (God it was ridiculously sweet).

Saturday we slept in. I checked into my room and had a cider. I've decided my body cannot handle carbonated drinks in the least bit. I don't drink pop and I've been off of beer for awhile. Having a cider was the worst thing for me - I had acid reflux all night and I was so exhausted by 8 pm I just wanted to crash. I practically begged my boyfriend to walk me back to the room so I can just go to sleep.

Saturday day time we walked the strip and stopped in at Niagara brewing company - craft beers and a mini beer store inside. It was nice - hipster nice with live music and tons of beards lol. I tried a pumpkin ale (still haven't figured out how to add pictures so this will be on my IG).

Sunday was no different - eating tons of carbs and drinking booze. The more I talk about it the more guilty I feel. Which is good - t will push me to have an awesome week, get my steps and attempt another week.

I have decided this week I will do a combination of gym and Focus T 25. If I don't do a day of Focus I will not beat myself up about it. I will go to the gym and crush a workout. I will not feel poorly about myself anymore. This is a journey. It's not a quick fix and  already at the finish line. These are the things I have to remind myself about and to remember to smile. Life is too short to be unhappy.
Thanks for reading. 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
