Feeling just a tad guilty.

So after work I went to our nearby bulk barn and grabbed some Easter sweets for the office and of course a little somethin somethin for me (corn chips with flax). They can get addictive and they are sooo good. After my trip to the bulk barn I went to No frills.. I also had to pick up bandaids for the office. As luck would have it, Jack was running late after work so I'm sitting around waiting for him to come grab you.

Yes I would have LOVED to walk home from there and get my much needed steps however I had zero Kleenex and I just couldn't seem to catch my nose. (PS current step count: 9,276) .. and as luck would have it again - Jack went to the WRONG GROCERY STORE. Mind you he's sick too - he just doesn't want to admit it. Like I tell the guy I'm at Bulk Barn and then going to the No Frills in the same plaza and even told him the address yet he goes to the location by the gym. I knew I should have hauled my ass to the gym. 

1. No gym (guilty as charged)
2. Didn't eat clean for dinner (like I had at lunch). 

I was craving a sub. 12 inches of cold cut on Italian herb and cheese with ALL of the following:
Cheese, lettuce, tomato, green pepper, cucumber, onion, green olives, EXTRA pickles (I wouldn't have it any other way), salt/ pepper, honey mustard, light mayo + sub sauce. It's hard to believe I used to get "cold cut sandwich with lettuce, cucumber and sauces". When you become an adult you learn to eat. 

As I was staring at my gut I realized I have to change. Yes this feeling comes and goes but now I really want it to stick. I want my habits and my mindset to stick. I got up, found my assistant ab crunch (machine thing), resistant bands and dumb bell. 

Some of the exercises I don't know the name of but I worked out my abdomen, obliques / love handles, shoulders/ bicep, arms and in general upper body. 
Dumb bell 5 lb each side - front raises + shoulder press, forarm lift (totally unsure of the name)
Abdomen assistant crunch- 250 total 
Ankle touch (for obliques) -150 total 


Bicep curl with resistant band 3 sets of 10


This one I'm unsure what to call it - I took both sides of the resistant band and folded together, lifted my arms slightly bringing them together and then separating and pulling apart. I don't even know the proper terms to explain it. Imagine the lady in the blue moving her fists toward one another and then stretching the band / her arms in the opposite direction (apart). Does that even make sense ? Well it felt good. Also - 4/5 sets of 10 - it felt REALLY good.

Now I just have to stick to a routine and continue this every 3 days. Tomorrow after work I plan on going to the gym for strictly cardio and possibly some sumo squats. I am SO behind on my steps. Omg I can't even.

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'...
