Time for a new adventure

Pre-workout.  I may be in need of some. It's just past 1:30 pm - my lunch break and I generally go for a walk but since last week I decided that cardio and my steps are no longer important to me. My focus is mostly on weights (and healthy eating obviously) with very minimal cardio.  In my last post I went on and on and on about waking up so damn early. And now I'm starting to feel like the day is going on too long and my body is getting into a mild daze. I have this pre workout staring at me as I type this blog. It's by the company "Femme Fit" called - lean amino energy - it's pink lemonade flavour. I got this because I read about amazing reviews.  Just kidding.  I didn't read shit. I picked it up one day when I was in Winners and noticed 2 things - High in B12 and CLEARANCE. And I was sold. I'm not one to drink coffee (very rarely does it do anything to me) so that was out of the picture. I started off with 1/2 dose because I lurked...

Whaddup? Sorry been MIA again. A lot has been happening and it really grinds my gears that I can't share it on my blog. Let's just say something great is to come and once it's 100 % then I can share the news. As for this week - I haven't had any days where I did my IF - I'm literally always hungry. I haven't really been documenting my food because I've been all over the place but Easter weekend I was a bad ass bitch and drank Friday, Saturday, Sunday and had a couple of brewskis on Monday. I was even WEARING the beer because Ashly knocked over her beer which made it's way to my lap.. all over my new adidas leggings too - mama biss treated me and got some awesome dri fit leggings from.... drum roll please... COSTCO! $25 and I love them. Only comes in 2 colours though - blue and my favourite colour (coral) - Jack won't be too pleased about that.  So as for nutrition and workout yesterday: Nutrition / meals: Breakfast: banana Lunch: Green tea...

Hey gym, sorry I haven't been around but this time I want to make it long lasting and for reals. I ALMOST skipped the gym and instead went out with K-star. Thankfully though, she was running late to head to her daughters school to pick her up and it was pissing rain out. Usually when it rains I contemplate for awhile about going to the gym. Constantly thinking of excuses of not to go but not today. I guess I had some fight in me to make it to Good Life. Today's workout: leg day!! I'm pretty proud of myself today because I tend to stick to the machines with weights. I hardly ever step outside my comfort zone and go to the free weights but I had some woman in my brain telling me to try a sumo squat with a dumb bell - just try something new - anything. Oh shoot I forgot to log I did side lunges too (no weights). Dang it. Well, I'm glad I tried something new. It's always going to be a learning experience :) Post gym. Literally. I have never been so HANGRY as ...

PRAISE THE LORD. Hallelujah! I was so prepared to blog earlier today about how nervous I was regarding this afternoon. I had a killer workout / training session planned with a friend and it was just confirmed that it's cancelled and we both rescheduled for next Wednesday. Just thinking about it was giving me an anxiety attack (okay that was far fetched) but it gave me the sweats! This woman was training with a Personal Trainer at GoodLife Fitness so the workouts are intense and now she makes her own loosely based on the PT she had prior. She was afraid to tell me what part of the body we would workout because she thought I would cancel! I'm always up for the challenge I'm just terrified of trying new things (alone). If I have a partner or someone there with me, it's not so bad but doing something new without any guidance and possibly "failing" .. I'm not into. Speaking of trying something new, I'm 99.9 % sure I'm going to try boxing. There'...

I'm starting to think I should just post my blogs at night instead of constantly updating the same entry or titling an entry 'update on this' and that etc. So here's the last update during the day. Here's my second meal of the day (yesterday - if you didn't get the above memo). JUST KIDDING! Mom's homemade potato and leek soup. No cream, she used milk - I'm wondering to myself if it would work if I attempted the recpe with almond milk and made it vegan? Thoughts? It was delicious by the way. I can feel my stomach rumbling right now. But that could also be because I only had a carrot stick for breakfast and a strawberry. Whoops. Another one of my favourites that mom makes - beef stew with potato, beef (obvi), carrots, turnip and parsnip. She let the meat cook in the broth for hours so it was super tender. *mouth watering* I tried to make the same recipe but vegetarian only and I incorporated Yves breakfast sausages - barf. It was disgusting....

Greetings. Again. Let's hop to it. Tuesday I was sort of fasting. I had my first meal at 10:30 am - leftover cheesy bread (from take out Domino's pizza) and it made my stomach do flip flops for a solid 2 hours!! I'm not sure if it was the carb amount or the cheese but I won't be touching that crap for awhile! (and by crap I mean cheese). Lunch: roasted veggies Post lunch: romaine, shredded carrots, croutons, ranch dressing Dinner: 1 glass of white wine, 1/4 pint of Canadian, 4 breaded and sauced wings, fries and gravy (with white vinegar too). Workout Morning: 100 abdomen assisted crunches, 50 ankle touches + 15 minute walk outside Afternoon: 35 minute walk (again, outside) Evening: 15 minute treadmill +  (all below 3 reps of 8): Leg extension: 55 lb Seated leg curl: 50 lb Seated leg press: 75 lb Hip adduction: 120 lb Hip abduction: 100 lb (usually I'm stuck at 90 lb) - YAY! Horizontal calf: 135 lb + 140 lb (3 reps of 8 for each weight) Wednesday...
