So much for an adventure

This so called adventure sucks. I was supposed to commit myself to a healthier lifestyle and I'll tell you right now - I didn't change anything. The only change that I made was starting a blog. I told myself that creating a blog would make me more accountable but if anything - it's been the complete opposite. Lately when I write, it seems forced like a chore. I can't even. I weighed myself the other day and yep, back at 191 lbs. I'm so disgusted with myself. That same day before hopping in the shower I noticed fat on my back. Like BAD! Nothing is more unappealing in my eyes then back fat. I'm looking at my back, moving my arms in different motions trying to find an accurate exercise to rid myself of that extra meat and I couldn't find one. Apparently LAT pull down is awesome for back fat. I'm hoping it does the trick. Unfortunately now since my work is so close to home I no longer have a bus pass. So I can't just hop on the bus and go to the g

Sore. Everywhere.

I can't believe June is almost over! It literally feels like it just started but here we are, it's June 26th Monday afternoon and it's almost July. I'm not going to get ahead of myself just yet though - let's go back into time. To Saturday morning to be exact. *insert rewind sound here* Woke up, got dressed and headed to boxing. IT WAS AMAZING. First I had a brief tour of the place and then we started the warm up. Until the teacher arrived, we are to jump rope. Once the instructor arrived our warm up was either doing the following exercises WITH the rope or without (I gladly did them without the rope): butt kicks, high knees, jumping jacks x2 - people with the rope did cross overs and I honestly can't remember. Now that it's Monday the rest of the exercises for the warm up seem like a blur. After warm up our group was split up into 2 groups - one group with the bags and the other group was in the ring. Once I heard I was in the ring I wasn't happy

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

Anna's chili!!

I am so good at tossing shit together and calling it a meal. This is my version of chili. I used 1/2 ground pork and 1/2 extra lean ground beef + the following: - black and kidney beans - frozen corn - fresh tomatoes (pulsed in my nutri ninja with garlic cloves) - oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, cumin - red onions And it was glorious. I brought some for my lunch today and topped with greek yogurt, green onions and chopped lettuce. Low carb and super filling! I haven't been posting a lot lately mainly because I've been a bad little bitch. I have been drinking on week days and going out for chinese food and eating more than I probably should be. I've been a disgrace. On a lighter note (and for the most part) I have been keeping up with my workouts. I started Hip Hop Abs again.. I can't remember which day I'm on but I know I'm on week 2. My thighs are currently killing me because I did Total Body Burn a couple days ago and then Hips, Bun

A whole lot of mish mash

I really need to start taking my laptop home again. Blogging on my mobile just doesn't feel right. I imagine people who blog everyday at home with their nice desk and cup with pens and highlighters and shit and a coffee and a big ol' smile on their face. Me: Sitting slouched on the couch, smirking contemplating who I'm going to bore next with my life. Sometimes I wonder if anyone actually reads. And then there are times like these where I just don't give a shit. It feels nice to blog. Like an online journal. If I'm mad I'm going to rant about it. Like here's a mini rant about people who are always angry - if you are angry, or upset about something you don't need to bring that shit to work or where ever you go and whomever you encounter. You really want to ruin someone's day and bring them down with you? This is why I think the world is such an unhappy place. There are people that are having some majorly bad days and they take it out on the world.

UPDATE. UPDATE. UPDATE

I SUCK. I haven't blogged in forever. The job change happened YAY and I am so much more at ease... well in a way. I am a bit over whelmed because I don't necessarily understand the construction terminology but who cares - I'm actually appreciated here and that's all that matters. I mainly came back to blogging to stay accountable for my food intake and workouts and will you look at that? I woke up on time, worked out my biceps and triceps (mostly my triceps) before walking to work! My arm pressed up against my body is HUGE. I feel like I look like the hulk. Hopefully I can keep at this. So far today: 73 minute walk (got locked out of work so a walk was forced upon me) + bi's and tri's.    As for food I didn't pack a shake - biggest regret - had celery for my breakfast. Snack I had my leftover lunch. For my actual lunch I had more celery and leftover of my lunch and now I'm hangry again. I've gone back to Hip Hop Abs and currently I
