Leg day!

Last night I said I was grabbing dinner with Jack and his mom and I stated I was going to get a steak and vegetables and not pizza or pasta. Well, technically I still didn't get either of the two however we did end up getting a snack platter which included oven roasted wings, cheese loaf, garlic bread and cactus cut potato chips with (2) dips. I indulged a tad.. I really wanted a salad but didn't want to speak up. She had her heart set on that platter. I really don't like being the one person making a big deal about my lifestyle choices so forgive me, I gave in.

Today I've been a good little Anna.
Breakfast: 1/2 protein shake, 1/4 croissant
Snack: pre workout, 1/2 banana and a handful of mixed nuts - Surprisingly this kept me full for 4 hours. I JUST had my lunch (as seen below)


This is the last (finally) of the leftovers plus I combined it with mama biss stir fry. I'm not 100 % sure what's in it but she did mention she used red cabbage, spinach, ginger, soya sauce, and garlic. I'm 99.9 % sure there are potatoes in it too. I'm pretty confident because I love me some potatoes. Mashed potatoes is my absolute favourite way to prepare potatoes and my mom makes the BEST. 

Haven't worked out yet today. Another day where I haven't been concerned about cardio. It's been raining all day so it's not like I can go for a walk even if I wanted to. Plus, my boots broke. Hopefully mom can fix them. I still can't believe it's coming to an end for April and I'm still to this day wearing my winter coat. Smh. 

Today I'm going to work out my legs using the machines. This time I'm going to attempt the same weights just more reps. 5 set 10 to be exact... will see how that goes. 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
