Last nights vibes

As planned I was to drink the wine with 3 other people. We didn't get together so now it must happen tonight. Like I said before, I'm not about that lifestyle anymore.

Exercise update: I made it to the gym!! Second day in a row and I could not be more proud of myself.  I did 50 minutes of straight cardio, upper the incline for 10 minutes at 5 then went back down. Afterwards I moved to the weighted machines to work on my upper body:

Chest press- 2 sets @30 lb, 2 sets @15  lb
Tricep extensions - 2 sets @35, 2 sets @25
Bicep curl - 20 lb
Pectoral fly- 20 lb
Deltoid fly - 2 sets @25, 2 sets @ 15
Seated row - 30 lb
Side crunch (each side) - 25 lb
* 4 sets of 12

My shoulders and triceps are sore. And surprisingly my obliques aren't in pain. I haven't worked out my love handles like that in a lonnnggg time. So I'm thinking of a new goal (over the next few months) to increase my weights to the 30s. That's achievable right? I feel like my arms are so weak. But hey, got to start somewhere.

As for the food I didn't take a picture of:
Pre gym I had a teaspoon of peanut butter and an apple. Post gym I had an apple.. dinner I indulged in a few glasses of wine and nachos - Tostito chips, cheese, green peppers, tomatoes and green onions and I had a couple pieces of spicy chicken. I was dared to eat a jalepino - for those of you that know me I cannot handle spice at all. But! I did it anyways. Now what shall I dare Kristina to do? She already said whatever I dare her to do she MUST DO. Drop your ideas in the comment section... muahahahaha!!

Today I need a rest day. And I'm taking it. I'm about to prep some beef less stew for the week. I've already made my healthy snack for tonight: greek yogurt based dip.

Combine the following, Greek yogurt (obviously), mayo, lemon juice (about 2 tablespoons), doll, seasoned salt, garlic powder. Done. It's delicious! This time around though I added a couple drops of sriracha and cayenne. Maybe next time I'll add chili flakes.. who knows. I was feeling dangerous. Lol.

Kristina's coming over soon. She doesn't know this but we are going to play Just Dance - a video game full of embarrassment. Stay tuned.


This is the Greek yogurt dip. Sooo good!!

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
