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...

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...
