How could something so sticky be so good?

An apple.
I hate when my hands feel so sticky after eating an apple. It's not even like you have to fully wash your hands after just a drip drop of water and you are good. 

You thought I was going to refer to something dirty, didn't you? Dirt migirt. I know K-star was thinking I was... gross. 

So this was my lunch: Roasted peppers and onions, cheddar cheese, arugula, chicken, and avocado in an ancient grains wrap. No mustard. No mayonnaise. Just simple ingredients and it was delicious! Sometimes I over complicate things and try to make it into the most extravagant meal and it comes out absolutely disgusting. But this right here is the best meal I've had in a long time. 

I enjoy the simple life. I like to appreciate the little things. And damn am I ever enjoying this simple wrap. Did I forget to mention that I don't even like avocado? Just last week I didn't know how to purchase one and now I'm adding it to my lunch!

Not that I'm crazy for avocados or anything but I also added 1/4 (of a half) so I guess 1/8th of an avocado to flaked tuna and mayo. I'm now going to put this shit on everything. 

So today is day 10. What does that mean? Well nothing anymore really. I had some cracks and fck ups so I've "broken" these days up but whatever. I am being healthIER than I was before. I'm not perfect. Yesterday we went out after work to a pub and a comedy show. After a couple frustrating days - what with the transition into a new job and the way my employer reacted, I would have to say a beer - or two or maybe four (yes I had four) were needed. I was supposed to only have one but whoopsie daisies. 

Still haven't been to the gym this week. We got home a little before 11 o'clock and I don't know about you but I've only gone to the gym in the morning once after having 4-5 hours of sleep. That shit is once in a life time and I had to take TWO doses of pre workout to survive the work day before passing out at 6 pm. I'm lucky I didn't pass out on the bus and get robbed in the process. 

Anyways, I wanted to stay accountable and admit the defeat of yesterday. Plus I think my period is coming so I was in a foul mood. For dinner I also had a turkey stack - whole wheat bread with avocado, chiptole (I know I spelled this wrong but auto correct is being a bitch and won't tell me how to spell it - in the words of Stephanie from Full House, "how rude!")  mayo, turkey, lettuce and tomato with french fries and a side order of gross gravy - it tasted like roasted mushrooms and I hate mushrooms. That cheat day was not worth it. I should have held in my cheat and had it at Wild Wing instead. Oh well. 

Today on my lunch I walked around a track 3 x and then walked back to work. 55 minutes of cardio and I most likely will go for a second walk (hopefully) with K-star and her human. As for food so far today I have had: a handful of mixed unsalted nuts, a dose of pre workout, the wrap and an apple. So far so good! I better get back to work. 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
