Reflection time.



Can I just say how much I'm enjoying the nicer weather? Sure it's raining but at least it's not Brrrr damn cold so cold that I have to wear my winter coat and boots. I can still get away with wearing my crappy shoes with zero support. And then obviously I bring my sneakers for the gym - which by the way I AM GOING TO THE GYM TONIGHT! 

I used to tell myself "if I don't make it to the gym by --- (insert time)" or "if I'm not at the gym by 6:30 pm I'm not going. I'll just do cardio on the WiiU instead". But what I failed to realize all those times is that doing cardio won't make you fit. It won't help you to reach your goal. It won't make you strong as a whole. Sure it will make your legs strong but that's it. You don't get a booty by doing cardio.

Contradictory to this post, I was doing cardio this morning and with a good reason. There was an accident close to where Jack drops me off. I got so excited! TWO fire trucks, an ambulance, a tow truck and a cop car... my excitement diminished when I came up to the accident and behold - it was a tiny fender bender. At least I got a beautiful picture so it was still worth it. I couldn't go for a walk on my lunch - it was Brrr damn cold. Like frig, winter weather can kiss my ass. Either be winter with glistening snow or fck off. It's mostly the wind I dislike. I guess I'm just in a complaining kind of mood. I'm mostly upset with myself.

End of April I told myself:
Anna, you can do this. You are not going to drink alcohol - no beer, no wine, no booze - NOTHING until your birthday. You are also going to be a strong woman. No hesitations. No excuses. You will get your butt to the gym either by 5:30 am before work or DEFINITELY after work. You will work hard, eat well and achieve the body you desire.

With all this being said I was good until this past Monday. This is the day when I wanted to give my warning about my two weeks notice to the boss' wife but instead HE was with her and when I was giving the warning, she handed the phone to him. So let's just say Monday was a bit stressful for me. Which carried onto Tuesday when he came into the office to discuss it... Tuesday was shot. Yesterday was Wednesday and I went for a walk on my lunch - so that was cardio - however I still planned on going to the gym after work which obviously didn't happen. Which leads to today. I just feel super guilty because that's my lack of workouts and here's my food -

I DON'T EVEN KNOW!
I haven't logged my food but other than those delicious wraps, I know I've been bad. I don't even want to blog about it but I know afterwards I'll feel better about it. Monday is too long ago, I can't remember but I know either Sunday or Monday I had all you can eat .. yeah you know I remember I posted about that. Whatever day it was, it happened. Tuesday I had the beers (during the day I had a wrap). Yesterday I had a wrap, an apple, tons of water (as per usual) and then this happens...

So Jack and I are laying in bed watching YouTube videos. And he suddenly turns to me, "lets skip the walk and get pizza instead" and I look at him, nudge his head to the side and whisper "I was thinking the same thing!" Literally I was.
And I don't know why. Like I wanted to go for the walk but I also didn't want to cook dinner. In a way I miss meal prepping but also in a way I started to get bored really easily. And I hate to say it but I'm thinking I'm going to start making eggs for dinner every night. Or something of high protein, low carb and loads of veggies. I should really start making my own salad dressings because that would be absolutely perfect. Anyways, it's home time. 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
