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 not lower body - I get enough leg workouts from Hip Hop Abs and walking to and from work.

With boxing aside let me update you on food so far today:
Breakfast: 1/2 banana - I don't know what's up with my body but the sugar content is crazy. I couldn't finish my banana - stomach hurt shortly after.
Lunch: leftover chilli topped with Greek yogurt and green onions - I can't even finish it. I'm so full already ... amazing how water is so filling.

I haven't been able to get up in the morning for a workout - and it's literally killing me inside. I really want to do those double days of workouts but I just cant. My head is always glued to the pillow and I tell myself "just 10 more minutes" about 5 x and before you know it, I have to leave in 10 minutes otherwise I'm late for work. Is it me? Is it the food I've been eating or the weather? It's already Friday so I don't have to wake up early tomorrow but I am going to wake up for 8 am, do a quick ab sculpt, breakfast and get ready for that boxing lesson.

As for today's workout - because of the rain, I most likely will not be walking after work but I will definitely work in a Total Body Burn and Fat Burning Cardio - hopefully Kristina won't come over before I'm done!

On a side note - you know what's crazy? The one day I forget to check the weather in the morning, it rains. Badly. I left my home and shortly after it starts spitting rain. I kept thinking to call Jack since it's his day off to come get me and take me to work - but it's only a 20 minute walk and it wasn't raining hard. So I continued my trek to work. Halfway through my walk it is POURING RAIN and again, I think to myself, "maybe I should stop, wait in the bus shelter and call Jack" but in the very VERY far distance I could see my work. It was only 10 minutes away. I pulled my sweater and draped it over my head and continued walking. I was soaked by the time I got home. Who called me? My boss aka my brother offering a ride.

Lesson from my story: always keep an umbrella in your bag because it's better to be prepared then not prepared at all. Any who - time to check my social media and then 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

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
