Food + workout update

Greetings, again.

So here's the food scoop-
Breakfast: 1/2 protein bar and an apple.
Lunch (and a big portion I might add): Spaghetti squash, tomato sauce, veggie ground topped with parsley.
Mini mini snack: an apple
Dinner: rice, broccoli, cabbage (with lots of garlic) and chicken... it was takeout. Bourbon St Grill to be exact. This is what happens when there's no protein at home and you are hangry after a killer workout.

Tonight's workout
77 minutes of cardio. 60 minutes on the treadmill. 17 minutes on the stationary bike.
Treadmill: Walking for 10 minutes then running for 2 minutes. Last 10 minutes, did an incline of 6.5 and speed 3.4
Bike: honestly I wasn't paying attention to speed but I kept it on level 1 and treated it as my cool down post treadmill workout.

Today was a good day considering I left the office to run some errands and walked instead of taking a drive and I hauled my butt to the gym. I can't even remember the last time I went to the gym :(
Lately I've been attempting Focus T25. I'm in love with the workouts. BUT! This week I lost my focus and have not done any... call me crazy but I'm cramming (2) weeks worth of workouts into a week and 2 days.. goodnight for now. 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...

Goals

Every day I try to accomplish mini goals. Today isn't just a regular day. Not like any other day.. no no no. It's a family get together. Family get togethers are like "it's someone's birthday you can have a little" "it's a celebration, have some wine / booze it would be a sin not to" "why aren't you having any of my birthday cake? So rude. Just a sliver!" Etc. I am thankful that my family understands and respects my choices of lifestyle. Not every family does. And some people just don't have the self control / will power. I get that. I've been down that road many times. And this is why I make mini goals. With that being said, today I propose to you my mini goals and then I will blog by the end of the night (or tomorrow) if I achieved them and what exactly happened... 1. Complete Speed 1.0 2. Reach 10,000 steps (even though my goal is 13,000.. usually on weekends I barely make it to 7,000) 3. Stay low carb 4. ACTUALL...
