IM BACK BABY!

Hey gym, sorry I haven't been around but this time I want to make it long lasting and for reals.

I ALMOST skipped the gym and instead went out with K-star. Thankfully though, she was running late to head to her daughters school to pick her up and it was pissing rain out. Usually when it rains I contemplate for awhile about going to the gym. Constantly thinking of excuses of not to go but not today. I guess I had some fight in me to make it to Good Life.
Today's workout: leg day!! I'm pretty proud of myself today because I tend to stick to the machines with weights. I hardly ever step outside my comfort zone and go to the free weights but I had some woman in my brain telling me to try a sumo squat with a dumb bell - just try something new - anything. Oh shoot I forgot to log I did side lunges too (no weights). Dang it. Well, I'm glad I tried something new. It's always going to be a learning experience :)

Post gym. Literally. I have never been so HANGRY as I was earlier. Today is my second day of my second week of intermittent fasting (not counting my sick week) and so my first meal was a tuna salad sandwich on flax and quinoa bread (roughly 11:30 am) and my second meal - the picture above - wasn't until 7 pm.. Have you ever worked out and not had food immediately after? It's like death! I think my muscles were even yelling at me to eat something, anything! Anywho- I ate all the vegetables, 2/3 of rice and 1/2 chicken (didn't really eat the chicken in sauce - too sweet and tangy) overall good though. 

*winks* yes, I'm hitting on myself. YO SEXY! Check out those lean legs. Okay so the left hand side that's November 2016. Middle = January 2017 and lastly on the right is today. I'm almost positive my calf is getting leaner but I can't really tell with my thigh /quads. I want to say yes but I have a hard time telling a difference there. Either way I feel pretty good about myself. All smiles tonight. Ps: current step count: 11,772 YAY ME! 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
