Thursday vibes.

Yesterday I flopped. I was craving wings so badly and the funny thing is - that I didn't even get wings!
Instead I got this beautiful creation of deep fried and battered onion rings topped with a cesar / parmesan dressing. If I didn't have other priorities like MAJOR priorities that must be taken care of today (such as going to the gym) I would have these all up in my face. But I just can't. Tuesday I went out, Monday I indulged in wine, yesterday I went out and also had 1 and half glass of wine. I don't know what it is but I can't have wine with my dinner. I find the food goes down easier with ice cold water. Or just water period. If I'm drinking any sort of booze, for me, it has to be first thing like an appetizer or while socializing or after dinner like a dessert. PS on the note of food - I also had tuna salad with probiotic yogurt (as seen below) as a snack and post walk leftover chicken and veggies.

Yesterday was gorgeous. If I wasn't super hungry, my feet were dying from not wearing my running shoes. I walked about 30 minutes before having an inner thought talk to myself about bailing on my usual 60 minute walk. It was absolutely gorgeous out and I can't wait for this rain to disappear - I got some serious walks to get to. I was talking to Jack yesterday over dinner (which I ended up getting poutine) and we agreed we both need to get back in shape - like badly. Mind you, I have never been fit. Like, never. I've been smaller but I always had somewhat of a stomach .. even just a little pouch. I really don't want to stress eat or binge eat anymore. Eating out and drinking all the time has taken a toll on my body. Seriously. SERIOUSLY. After Christine's wedding, I'm all for the healthy eating! Most of the time I'm like 'gym gym gym' but if I want to get rid of this stomach I have to eat properly. And the gym alone will not make the cut. 

Speaking of eating properly. All week I have not meal prepped - I mean, I did a bit when I roasted the mixed veggies but I'll be honest, they were store bought pre cut up veggies and I did the brussel sprouts myself. Other than that it's been eating out. Although, I can say I've been proud of myself for one thing: Every other day I have been waking up by 6:20 am to commit myself to abdomen and my love handle workout. Today I focused on obliques (love handles) and did 250 ankle touches and 100 abdomen assisted crunches. If it's raining on my lunch break I'm thinking of doing more ankle touches, girl push ups (on my knees) and some dead lifts. We don't have weights in the office but we have boxes of thousands of papers. I figure I can get creative and use that. 

Tonight I want to focus on my legs with the weights. I haven't been to the gym since Saturday and it's killing me. I am feeling the guilt. 
Plan for after work:
- haul my butt to the gym and work on legs + minor cardio
- quickly run to the grocery store and grab whatever veggie that's on sale to roast for dinner
- work on speeches and shoe game
- pass out. 

I CAN DO IT! 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
