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. ACTUALLY HAVE JUST A SLIVER OF BIRTHDAY CAKE.
Four mini goals.

Warning! Do not read the next little bit if you have low self control for sweets!!!

I'm just going to go into detail about my sisters birthday request. My mom makes this insanely, fantasting, amazing, mouth watering delight of an ice cream cake. It's absolute heaven when it touches your lips. Friends that are allergic to chocolate (how do they live) even give in to this cake and pay for it later.

Bottom layer is a beautiful cookie crumb. Next layer (I'm not 100% of the order but it is a combo of these layers) is chocolate ice cream. Next layer CHOCOLATE. Like just melted chocolate. This cake takes time. Freezing then adding a layer then freezing and then another layer and frig it's just soooo good. Getting carried away here.. next layer vanilla ice cream and of course another layer of chocolate and lastly ... cappuccino ice cream!!! Oh and then a drizzle of chocolate and I think she sprinkles on some sort of topping .. might just be the cookie crumb but I haven't had it in so long so I'm having a hard time remembering. But guys, trust me ... you haven't had ice cream cake (PROPERLY) until you've had mom's.

People who don't have self control!! You can read now :)
Bye. I'm done. Just kidding.

Speaking of desserts I'm currently eating a mini breakfast of 1/2 protein bar. Just a couple bites so my stomach isn't growling as I'm dying during another workout. Yay for double days! Today guess who's joining me? My mom. Yes. I warned her of the intensity. Speed 1.0 isn't that bad. Like you go hard then it's a minute of stretching then you go hard for 2-3 minutes then stretching out the related muscle group. It's not my favourite workout but it beats lower focus. Anywho, I'll be writing again later so 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...

Phew. Really dodged a bullet there.

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'...
