Accountability

Accountability.
Account-able.

Accountability by definition: "the fact or condition of being accountable; responsibility".
I want to be more accountable for everything I do - what I eat, how / when / if I workout, how I react/justify my actions.. in summary I want to live a healthier and happier lifestyle.

Let's get back to me. Here's my introduction:
My name is Anna. I am a 29 year old overweight woman quickly approaching her 30s in the month of May. I work as a Medical Receptionist for a Plastic Surgeon and I have been confused about a 'healthy lifestyle' for the past 2 years. I started my 'journey' approximately the same time when I moved in with my boyfriend.. and that's when I started to realize how much weight I've accumulated.

I can't be too hard on myself. I know I can get back to the body I used to have if I just remember that it's a slow progress and nothing will come easy or quick. Even the procedure of cool sculpting. YES. I went there. Nearing the end of December I gave in and had cool sculpting done for my lower abdomen. I admitted defeat.

The after process was monstrous and I was not prepared to how my body was going to react. I woke up the next day and could not bend over without feeling pain. Mind you this was also only a few days before Christmas! I could barely see over my swollen and bruised stomach. It was so gross.. I was black and blue for a solid 4 days. No pain no gain right? Anyways, I assumed after a week or 2 I would see results.. but nope. The bruising subsided and the swelling went away but that's pretty much it. Stomach wise, I look pretty much the same. Results generally take up to 8-10 weeks. It feels like I'm not even close.

So that's a big weight off of my shoulders. I'll be writing again soon to remain accountable for today's food intake + workout routine. Stay tuned.

Update on goals

Hello again. It's meeee... 🙃 Okay so goal 1 ✔️ Completed Speed 1.0 with mama bear. I completed the day with 10,162 steps. My dessert was literally a sliver of cake (sister called it a crumb) haha with 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, few strawberries and walnuts. And I made a low carb lasagna and guess what? It was a huge success! So my mom makes this beautiful hollandaise based lasagna with chicken and asparagus. I took it upon myself to grad 1/2 cauliflower head and grated the stems of broccoli as my base. Did a layer of the sauce, chicken, asparagus, broccoli, cheese, and added (4) spinach noodles for texture. Topped it with Parmesan cheese and BOOM. Magic was born. Other lasagnas for the family included turkey with tomato sauce, and then (2) variations of the hollandaise other than my own- one with broccoli and the other asparagus. I was absolutely thrilled to find out mine was a success. Especially since I thought it was going to be like soup. Don't forget that when ...

Updates and Basil, Cilantro, Garlic Bread

I realize I haven't blogged in quite some time. Here's some updates since my last blog: - I moved - It wasn't my choice but it had to be done. The lady that owned our condo wanted us to buy it or leave. So we left (there were way too many things to be fixed and wasn't worth our time, energy and money). Now I live in the basement of my mother in law's home with my boyfriend, Jack. - I no longer consume animals or animal by products. I'm 90% vegan and I say 90 % because I cannot consume vegan cheese. Has anyone ever tried it? IT'S LEGIT THE SCUM OF THE EARTH. I eat cheddar cheese (only) once, twice or three times a month. So let's get down to business, to the reason why I made you come to this entry on my blog. The main way I cook in this basement is with my slow cooker. I came across a recipe on Pinterest for Vegan basil pesto bread which obviously sounds delicious. *Word to the non - vegans, pesto contains parmesan. There was a recipe to make vegan...

Sleeping.

I feel like I've always taken advantage of sleep. The power of sleep - not one of life's wonders. You get a good night sleep, you're able to function properly the next day. I never truly appreciated the act of sleep until last night. I'm in bed roughly by 9 pm maybe 9:30 pm and I'm a light sleeper. (perfect mom quality might I add) Jack on the other hand goes to bed around 10:30 pm or 11:00 pm. He admitted he has FOMO - F ear O f M issing O ut but in regards to TV / Facebook videos so he's up watching something so that's the reason why he doesn't go to bed at the same time as me. Well last night the Leaf game was on - and I can only assume that they lost because I didn't hear any screaming at the TV then again I didn't hear anger either and Jack's pretty loud when it comes to Leaf games (major hockey fan). I only heard around 11:19 pm that he was heading to bed. And then the loud breathing started. I can't really tell if it'...
