How can I do my cardio if it's SNOWING!!!

It's March 30th and it's apparently going to snow this afternoon.
Snow? It's Spring. What the actual sh*t Canada?

The last couple of days we have been having beautiful weather and I have been so appreciative. Walking on my lunch breaks, even getting off the transit bus earlier before my stop so I can get in additional cardio but it doesn't look like I'm headed that way today.

Yesterday was 3 degrees C and there was no wind, my ankles were showing and it was gorgeous. Today, 3 degrees as well and it feels like it's -3 with that wind. I got off the bus 1 stop before mine, and my itty bitty ankles were so cold.

Why didn't you wear your winter boots? Well that's a great question.. ain't it? Tonight I'm sleeping over at my parents place. I have an alteration appointment for my bridesmaid dress tomorrow and my mom wants me to come over (she is just DYING to play with her make up and hide my scars that I have on my arms) or she's just dying to see me. Who knows, whatever, I'm going. My bag is packed with spanx(sp?), shoes for the wedding and my running shoes. Plus my lunch and snacks - before you know it my gym bag is filled. Sure I can walk around in my winter boots but when I'm wearing my other shoes, where do I put them to rest? And what if tomorrow is gorgeous and I want to go for a walk? I'll have to lug those things around in an extra bag? I don't like being the bag lady when I have several errands then accumulate over 4 bags plus taking transit. No thank you. Plus, if there are elderly people around, you know I'm going to give them the seat over my 4 bags of groceries. Nothing bothers me more than:
a) seeing young kids (children in elementary school / high school) sitting on the seats when there are old people NEEDING seats and actually out of breath from climbing that 1 step to get on the bus and
b) NO ONE GIVING UP THEIR SEAT for disabled, pregnant or the elderly. No respect I tell you. My kids (when I have them) will think I grew up in the 50's with the respect and decency I'll be teaching them.

Don't you love how I completely get off topic. I do too. Like I said, I'm visiting my parents and today is my cardio today (will post in next entry of my workout from Tuesday and yesterday). I plan on doing my cardio by inserting my Just Dance 4 or Just dance 2015 into the Wii and the rest will be history. I'll be doing it in the basement so no one will be able to see me making a complete fool of myself... and no video tapes (KRISTINA!!)

It's 9:43 am and dead in the office. Everything is pending on patient's returning my calls or E-mails. Better make use of this time by completing another entry with my nutrition / workout updates. 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
