Post Tuesday.

Gah. Yes Gah!

Tuesdays are always so hectic at work. I usually end up working through my lunch and staying until at least 6 pm. Considering the fact that I haven't woken up at 5 am yet, I knew I had to haul my butt to the gym (which I did) therefore I was not going to stay another Tuesday super late. 

Now that it's Wednesday, I have sooo much work to catch up on. And honestly, I don't think I'll be reaching my weekly goal of waking up at 5 am for the gym. So let's change that to everyday MAKE it to the gym no matter the time and alternate between upper body, lower body, and strictly cardio - either outside, elliptical, bike, whatever. I won't be taking a rest day as I didn't make it to the gym on Monday. 

So here's my update from Tuesday's workout (in no order specifically):
Seated leg press - 1 set 90lb, 1 set 80 lb, 4 set at 60 lb
Leg extension: 1 set at 55 lb, 2 at 45 lb, 1 at 40 lb, 2 at 25 lb (this was my last machine so needless to say my quads were burning)
Seated leg curl: 45 lb (all sets)
Hip Abduction: 85 lb
Hip Adduction: 100 lb
Horizontal calf: 90 lb

Side crunch (each side) 25 lb - for my stubborn love handles.
6 sets of 10 (all machines/exercises)
I started my workout with 15 minutes cardio, and ended my workout with 30 minutes cardio. 

Meals (Tuesday): 
Breakfast - protein shake (1/2 scoop chocolate vegan shakeology, almond milk, water)
Snack- Couple bites of my power house yogurt - shakeo protein, almond milk, greek yogurt, mixed berries
Lunch- Leftover spinach dip from Sunday with pumpernickel rye bread
Dinner (post workout) - no excuses but I was starving. Bourbon St Grill: broccoli/garlic/ carrots/cabbage, rice, honey glazed chicken and bourbon chicken. High protein, high fat. Does that count as keto? Just kidding. For the first time in forever I ate it ALL. I felt like yesterdays workout I burned a ton of calories. I probably didn't but all I know is that the dinner I had planned for yesterday wouldn't have been enough so that's going to be tonight's dinner. 

Kale chips and veggie burgers. Just thinking about it is making me hungry again.. wtf. Better chug some water! Anyways, it's a little past 8 and I should check the messages before the phones start ringing. 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
