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 ...

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...
