Update food / exercise

Roasted potato and leek soup from Campbells.. not my thing. It was gross. But it was the only thing I had to eat for today so I forced it down.

Before I knew it it was my scheduled lunch break, from 1:30-2:30 pm I was walking outside for some additional steps. The sun was beating on my back and in my face. It was GORGEOUS out today - probably still is but I'm stuck inside. Quiet day here in the office. 

When I came back to the office I was hangry. I noticed some veggie bites in the kitchen cupboard, scarfed down about 40/50 of them. Look at your two thumbs. Each cracker is roughly the size of that.

I probably shouldn't have ate those crackers because I felt sick towards the end of my shift. It took me  almost 90 minutes and a stomach ache but I made it. Hopped on the treadmill for 20 minutes then proceeded to the leg extension machine. 3 sets of 10 of each machine:
Leg extension @ 50 lbs
Hip abduction @ 90 lbs
Hip adduction @ 85 lbs
Horizontal calf @ 90 lbs

I also did horizontal calf using my body weight while waiting for the bus. I haven't weighed myself in a few weeks but knowing I ate crap, drank and didn't exercise in Niagara and continued a bad lifestyle a couple days after I'm going to assume I'm back at 190 lb.

Dinner update:
Sushi all you can eat. We had good intentions - went to Mr Greek - people were waiting in line and most of the people were still waiting on their food and we had groceries in the back. We always have quick service at Tatami so we went there. Stuffed our faces and completely forgot about the groceries. Omg fail.

GOOD NEWS THOUGH.
Usually Thursdays I drink wine until 3 am because I have Fridays off - not this time around. Staying positive even though I messed up on dinner. At least I made it to the gym. One accomplishment at a time right? Today is Friday. It just started to rain. I'm going to do the dishes and then get started on meal prep! 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...
