Phew. Really dodged a bullet there.

PRAISE THE LORD. Hallelujah!

I was so prepared to blog earlier today about how nervous I was regarding this afternoon. I had a killer workout / training session planned with a friend and it was just confirmed that it's cancelled and we both rescheduled for next Wednesday. Just thinking about it was giving me an anxiety attack (okay that was far fetched) but it gave me the sweats! This woman was training with a Personal Trainer at GoodLife Fitness so the workouts are intense and now she makes her own loosely based on the PT she had prior. She was afraid to tell me what part of the body we would workout because she thought I would cancel! I'm always up for the challenge I'm just terrified of trying new things (alone). If I have a partner or someone there with me, it's not so bad but doing something new without any guidance and possibly "failing" .. I'm not into.

Speaking of trying something new, I'm 99.9 % sure I'm going to try boxing. There's a groupon going around that's just down the street from me - I think it's 8 classes or so for $40 (that doesn't sound right but I know it's a good deal). A friend from high school is doing it now and admits that it's an insane workout. I can't wait to sweat it out ... right after Christine's wedding.

Can you believe it's next week? Technically this week. It's Sunday April 9th!!! I have not finished the speech or the questions for this game we are involved in but there will be a huge weight off of my shoulders after the wedding.. then things can get back to normal again.

Today marks day 1 of my fruit, vegetable and protein diet. I want to feel fresh and clean (internally) for Christine's big day so that means NO wine, carbohydrates, grains, junk, cheese - except I literally just had a greek salad with feta. I won't be killing it at the gym because I won't be consuming carbs.

Nutrition
Breakfast: 1 baked potato (with skin)
Lunch: Greek salad with vinaigrette - feta, cucumber, tomato, red onion, lettuce
Dinner: 3 egg omlette with spinach and arugula topped with salsa, and plain yogurt.

Workout
17 minute walk this morning
57 minute walk this afternoon (lunch break)

I was going to go to the gym but upon leaving work I developed a massive headache and it also started to rain. Decided to have leg day tomorrow! Stay tuned.
Ps- this detox thing might be happening after Christine's wedding - as I am currently enjoying one of my last glasses of wine. #eveningwin


One of my mew favourite vegetable chips - brussel sprouts!! It happened by accident and what can I say? I'm in love! EVOO, mrs dash garlic and herb, seasoned salt and pepper. 400 degrees for 25 minutes and you have perfection.

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
