Last nights vibes

As planned I was to drink the wine with 3 other people. We didn't get together so now it must happen tonight. Like I said before, I'm not about that lifestyle anymore.

Exercise update: I made it to the gym!! Second day in a row and I could not be more proud of myself.  I did 50 minutes of straight cardio, upper the incline for 10 minutes at 5 then went back down. Afterwards I moved to the weighted machines to work on my upper body:

Chest press- 2 sets @30 lb, 2 sets @15  lb
Tricep extensions - 2 sets @35, 2 sets @25
Bicep curl - 20 lb
Pectoral fly- 20 lb
Deltoid fly - 2 sets @25, 2 sets @ 15
Seated row - 30 lb
Side crunch (each side) - 25 lb
* 4 sets of 12

My shoulders and triceps are sore. And surprisingly my obliques aren't in pain. I haven't worked out my love handles like that in a lonnnggg time. So I'm thinking of a new goal (over the next few months) to increase my weights to the 30s. That's achievable right? I feel like my arms are so weak. But hey, got to start somewhere.

As for the food I didn't take a picture of:
Pre gym I had a teaspoon of peanut butter and an apple. Post gym I had an apple.. dinner I indulged in a few glasses of wine and nachos - Tostito chips, cheese, green peppers, tomatoes and green onions and I had a couple pieces of spicy chicken. I was dared to eat a jalepino - for those of you that know me I cannot handle spice at all. But! I did it anyways. Now what shall I dare Kristina to do? She already said whatever I dare her to do she MUST DO. Drop your ideas in the comment section... muahahahaha!!

Today I need a rest day. And I'm taking it. I'm about to prep some beef less stew for the week. I've already made my healthy snack for tonight: greek yogurt based dip.

Combine the following, Greek yogurt (obviously), mayo, lemon juice (about 2 tablespoons), doll, seasoned salt, garlic powder. Done. It's delicious! This time around though I added a couple drops of sriracha and cayenne. Maybe next time I'll add chili flakes.. who knows. I was feeling dangerous. Lol.

Kristina's coming over soon. She doesn't know this but we are going to play Just Dance - a video game full of embarrassment. Stay tuned.


This is the Greek yogurt dip. Sooo good!!

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 ...

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'...

Rant on perfumes / cologne

Found this rant in my iPhone notebook: Ladies. Why do you bathe in perfume? Some men do it too but I had to bring it up for a little rant because I was just outside walking to the bus stop and all I could smell was perfume and I was still 10 or 15 steps away. There was a woman waiting in the shelter. Decked out as if she was going downtown to pick up an older man in the financial district. Either that or she works in a top notch hair salon... I can't even make a joke properly because my head is still fuzzy from that smell. When I am in a closed space and someone sprays perfume (an abundance of it) I get light headed accompanied by a headache. It's not fun at all. I'm not the only one either which is the reason why most gym change rooms have signs not allowing perfumes to be sprayed. Same with certain departments in the hospital. Nurses shouldn't wear perfume because of the contact with some patients. Anyways, all I'm saying is - even though YOU can't ...
