Happy daze and a little self reflection..

Do you ever wake up and just think to yourself - 'Today is going to be a great day'. That was me this morning. And still is - I can't shake this good feeling. Surprisingly when the bus passed me this morning (just as I got to the bus stop), still didn't ruin my mood. I'm just feeling overall, pretty good.



This morning I walked a quick 15 minutes before getting into work. As usual, I have to take a picture. The two pictures above = the same river just different angles. I can't wait to hit the trails this weekend - maybe Jack will accompany me and if not, I'll be bugging K-star to get some steps. I think I want to focus more so on weight training then cardio. There are some fit people that only do cardio but they lose their tush, and I like having a big one. Today I'm going to focus on lower body and my obliques. Already this morning I did 150 ankle touches. I want to do 150 more before I leave the office. As for step count currently: 3,621 - once I meet my daily goal of 10,000 I'm not going to over step. 



Getting fit is a long journey - it takes will power, control and sacrifice. I'm so excited to be back on track. This blog I want to dedicate to me and my body. I haven't said this before not ever but I love my body. I'm generally pretty hard on myself and always hate on my belly but I'm happy where I am right now. Whether I get more meat on my bones or I tone - I'm happy being me and what I look like. Just the other day my coworker asked me "when are you going to get rid of this" as she pointed to my belly, I knew exactly what she was talking about - liposuction of my abdomen. Yes I wanted the surgery, I wanted the easy way out and to feel good about myself ASAP. Maybe that would help me and my mental state. But today the gears started to turn - I want to accomplish my goals by myself. I want others to know we are all in this together - nothing comes easy. If life were easy, is it really worth living? It would honestly be so boring. Bring on the challenges. Bring on the rain. I'm ready for it and I'm more than willing to fight temptations and be the better person I know I can be. 


Feeling good =)
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...
