Adult win

Being an adult sucks. I remember in my younger years wanting to grow up and doing what I want, when I want and how I want. If only we were rich and could be in that zen. Currently it's lunch time and I've paid my Rogers bill, and inquired about a pre approved mortgage. YAY! Living the dream life. I miss the younger years though - not giving a shit about what you ate, and now it's all about counting calories, intermittent fasting, some sort of fad diet and/or keeping up with a healthy lifestyle.

Speaking of which.. here's my update for yesterday's food and exercise (plus so far today):

 
I had to make this picture huge because it was so fcking amazing! Boiled carrots/peas/green beans, roasted potatoes (garlic, pepper, salt and paprika) and lastly the chicken schnitzel! Instead of flour I've been using unflavoured protein powder and it is BOMB. Shoot I just remembered I was thawing pork tenderloin ... gotta make more schnitzel - I doubt Jack is complaining. 
Second recipe I'm going to make tonight: Cauliflower parmesan chicken (technically cauliflower riced)

 1 minute and 34 seconds to do 10 burpees. Of course the last one was a walk out burpee but 1 minute and 34 seconds isn't bad especially for someone that isn't fit at all and lacks so many muscles I could be considered a string bean. Between sets of burpees I was jumping rope. I'm proud to say, second round of burpees I finished in 1 minute and 35 seconds. However - last set took me almost 2 minutes! I'm not going to lie, I'm still pretty proud of myself (even at the 2 minute mark). And you know what? I'm going to the cottage on Friday and yes, I'm going to bring my weights and plan on doing more burpees!

 Look at this little cutie. I literally just finished 5 sets of 10 side crunches using these weights (about 22.5 lb), walk away and come back with a glass of water and see this. "Mama, cuddle me. Don't lift, pet me". What an attention seeker. Glad he did this after I was done though..

 I'm really trying to do better this week and the last week. My intent isn't to lose weight OR tone, it's to make my organs happy and stop consuming crap. This was my breakfast: 1/2 scoop unflavoured protein powder, lemon yogurt, spinach and almond milk. It was absolutely delicious and the perfect consistency. I'm definitely going to have another one for dinner.. to go alongside scrambled eggs. High protein, fibre dinner.
Oh and the meals I was planning to make later ... that's more meal prep. HAHA JACK. 
(he hates when I meal prep)

 Protein shake to start the day. Mid morning snack I had 10 large seedless green grapes and now - more chicken schnitzel! 1 large piece of schnitzel + a smaller piece of chicken dusted in protein powder and baby carrots (raw). 

Although Monday Kris came over and I had a couple beers.. I'm actually feeling really, really good about myself. My body feels cleaner and fuller. My metabolism is back up to regular speed and I'm eating every 2 hours. Lunch is over, time to 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
