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'm on Week 1 Day 5 and I'm going pretty good. I love that I walk to and from work - and literally it's my only way to get to work so I'm forced every day rain or shine walking.. Then after work I get home early enough to fit in a workout.

Ultimately some days I would prefer to work out at home in the morning, walk to work and walk to the gym (took about 60 minutes ) then proceed with weights at the gym. I would only do that twice a week. I'm not about the cardio life anymore.

Anywho - that's my update for fitness, food and health. A storm is brewing and I'm wearing my new runners. I can't get these babies too wet. 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
