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!

Update on goals

Hello again. It's meeee... 🙃 Okay so goal 1 ✔️ Completed Speed 1.0 with mama bear. I completed the day with 10,162 steps. My dessert was literally a sliver of cake (sister called it a crumb) haha with 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, few strawberries and walnuts. And I made a low carb lasagna and guess what? It was a huge success! So my mom makes this beautiful hollandaise based lasagna with chicken and asparagus. I took it upon myself to grad 1/2 cauliflower head and grated the stems of broccoli as my base. Did a layer of the sauce, chicken, asparagus, broccoli, cheese, and added (4) spinach noodles for texture. Topped it with Parmesan cheese and BOOM. Magic was born. Other lasagnas for the family included turkey with tomato sauce, and then (2) variations of the hollandaise other than my own- one with broccoli and the other asparagus. I was absolutely thrilled to find out mine was a success. Especially since I thought it was going to be like soup. Don't forget that when ...

Updates and Basil, Cilantro, Garlic Bread

I realize I haven't blogged in quite some time. Here's some updates since my last blog: - I moved - It wasn't my choice but it had to be done. The lady that owned our condo wanted us to buy it or leave. So we left (there were way too many things to be fixed and wasn't worth our time, energy and money). Now I live in the basement of my mother in law's home with my boyfriend, Jack. - I no longer consume animals or animal by products. I'm 90% vegan and I say 90 % because I cannot consume vegan cheese. Has anyone ever tried it? IT'S LEGIT THE SCUM OF THE EARTH. I eat cheddar cheese (only) once, twice or three times a month. So let's get down to business, to the reason why I made you come to this entry on my blog. The main way I cook in this basement is with my slow cooker. I came across a recipe on Pinterest for Vegan basil pesto bread which obviously sounds delicious. *Word to the non - vegans, pesto contains parmesan. There was a recipe to make vegan...

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. ACTUALL...
