V-Day meets Aunt Flow

It's Valentine's Day! And you know what that means? AUNT FLOW DECIDED TO INVITE HERSELF TO THE PARTY. No yay. Booo.

Aunt flow is being a D-bag to me today, a royal, painful D-bag.  I took one look at my calendar (in my phone because that's where I normally plan my workouts) and I see Speed 1.0 and total body circuit. Nope. Not going to happen. This is the second week of Focus T 25 I messed up IN A ROW. I should be killing my third week but no, life happens or I give in. So I've decided to still do a double day but at least start my day off slow. Meeting a friend for noon for a 2 hour walk, then come home and start roasting some vegetables.

Valentine's Day is just like any other day. It's not a reason to cheat. It's just a day of wearing red as far as I'm concerned. Not to sound like a b*tch but people should be embracing every day with their loved ones. Yeah it's nice to get chocolate on occasions but it should be eaten with a cheat meal not "oh em gee. Flowers and chocolate for me wowwwzzers". "He must really love me" . Honestly it makes woman look a certain way. That we are the more romantic. We want materialist junk. We want our men to bow down to us as we are the queen. "This day is all about me". What do the men get? Oh wait. Is "steak and BJ day" still a thing? Why doesn't hallmark celebrate that? I don't see that celebration day in the dollar store.

Although this blog entry started off about women, it's going to end with men and be dedicated to every man out there. I cheers you for your solid good work. Keeping up with your woman's crap. For everything she says, does, and although she may not appear to appreciate you - she does. She may just forget to tell or show you but she does. This is for you fellas.



Anywho here's how my day and night unfolded.
Daytime: everything was making me angry. Literally everything. All I wanted to do was go for a walk and drink some wine. Guess which one happened? Yep the wine. I started to feel guilty while toasting my vegetables so in between I would run on the spot or do jumping jacks.

Next blog I'll talk about my low carb shepherds pie. I have yet to taste it because for a Valentine's Day treat we had pizza. And it was so so soooooo good. There are leftovers and it's taking everything in me not to eat them. Especially because I just woke up and I'm hungry.

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'...
