This is going to get a bit hard because I no longer have my laptop working at home so I'll be posting pictures and entries in this one single post.

BREAKFAST: Protein shake
SNACK: Raisin bran muffin
LUNCH: Ranch salad with romaine, cucumber, croutons
SNACK: Same as above

March 10 2017
B: (4) scrambled eggs with ketchup
L: (2) blueberry pancakes with maple syrup and (4) breakfast sausages
 And I didn't log my dinner, whoops!

March 11 2017
B: (2) slices pepperoni pizza
D: (skipped lunch was pretty much snacking as I was at a 2 day bachelorette!
- peanut meatballs, basmati rice, macaroons, wine, spinach dip with pumpernickel bread

March 12 2017 - Sunday - the last day of the bachelorette
B: waffle bar! (2) waffles topped with organic peanut butter, dark chocolate almond butter, - literally SCRAPED both of them on with strawberries, blueberries, dark chocolate chips and banana.
L: Whole wheat pita with veggie / meat sauce (from the stuffed peppers) with mozzarella cheese and green onions.
And the pictures below are dinner at Lee's Restaurant:

This is the 19 ingredient signature slaw. I should have recorded her talking as she tossed this beautiful and delicious salad. It was amazing - I can't wait to go back. Super fresh and a great way to cleanse the pallet between courses. 


Indian vegetable fritters - gluten free - squash, zucchini, onions, chickpea, plantain. Spiced tamarind glaze and mint yogurt. (literally copied the website which I'll add at the bottom)

Rack of lamb - banana fritter (OMG it was so so good) - red sauce: tomato lentil - cumin stew, yellow ring: coconut carrot cardamon chutney and lastly green ring: chili mint. The flavour combinations were excellent. If my friends didn't order it, I don't think I would have but I'm THRILLED they did.


This is Christine. She's been my best friend for 25 years. How many people can say that about their friends? Friends will come and go but sisters are forever and Christine is my non - blood sister. We've been through everything together - laughs, tears, heartaches, and most importantly happiness. She's getting married next month and I am incredibly honoured to stand next to her on the biggest (and most memorable) day of her life. I love this girl!

PS: I didn't get to try her dessert (because I had one coming) but she said it was yummy. - Ice cream with a berry compote inside a pastry.


It was a fat day and a celebration. You can't say no to dessert in this case. This is a vanilla creme brulee with a lemon pastry and a berry compote.Reading the website it said 'lemongrass' creme brulee. I knew there was lemon somewhere just not sure where. It was absolutely delicious. It was really nice to go to an 'adult ' restaurant instead of the usual chains I would go to like Boston Pizza or Wild Wing. I still enjoy them but eating out to different places and trying new things was a great way to end the night. 

Lee's Restaurant

So that was my weekend. Back to the grind. Today we are going to get a major snow storm. I'm supposed to go to my parents place after work (mom made my favourite meal). I packed my clothes for Tuesday just in case I spend the night. Will see though. 

OH!
Huge PS - I didn't exercise Saturday / Sunday. I wasn't even thinking. I was offered to use my friends gym in the condo but I didn't pack my running shoes - and she has ridiculously tiny feet. Shame, I packed my gym clothes as my pjs too. Darn shame. Anywho - 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
