How can I do my cardio if it's SNOWING!!!

It's March 30th and it's apparently going to snow this afternoon.
Snow? It's Spring. What the actual sh*t Canada?

The last couple of days we have been having beautiful weather and I have been so appreciative. Walking on my lunch breaks, even getting off the transit bus earlier before my stop so I can get in additional cardio but it doesn't look like I'm headed that way today.

Yesterday was 3 degrees C and there was no wind, my ankles were showing and it was gorgeous. Today, 3 degrees as well and it feels like it's -3 with that wind. I got off the bus 1 stop before mine, and my itty bitty ankles were so cold.

Why didn't you wear your winter boots? Well that's a great question.. ain't it? Tonight I'm sleeping over at my parents place. I have an alteration appointment for my bridesmaid dress tomorrow and my mom wants me to come over (she is just DYING to play with her make up and hide my scars that I have on my arms) or she's just dying to see me. Who knows, whatever, I'm going. My bag is packed with spanx(sp?), shoes for the wedding and my running shoes. Plus my lunch and snacks - before you know it my gym bag is filled. Sure I can walk around in my winter boots but when I'm wearing my other shoes, where do I put them to rest? And what if tomorrow is gorgeous and I want to go for a walk? I'll have to lug those things around in an extra bag? I don't like being the bag lady when I have several errands then accumulate over 4 bags plus taking transit. No thank you. Plus, if there are elderly people around, you know I'm going to give them the seat over my 4 bags of groceries. Nothing bothers me more than:
a) seeing young kids (children in elementary school / high school) sitting on the seats when there are old people NEEDING seats and actually out of breath from climbing that 1 step to get on the bus and
b) NO ONE GIVING UP THEIR SEAT for disabled, pregnant or the elderly. No respect I tell you. My kids (when I have them) will think I grew up in the 50's with the respect and decency I'll be teaching them.

Don't you love how I completely get off topic. I do too. Like I said, I'm visiting my parents and today is my cardio today (will post in next entry of my workout from Tuesday and yesterday). I plan on doing my cardio by inserting my Just Dance 4 or Just dance 2015 into the Wii and the rest will be history. I'll be doing it in the basement so no one will be able to see me making a complete fool of myself... and no video tapes (KRISTINA!!)

It's 9:43 am and dead in the office. Everything is pending on patient's returning my calls or E-mails. Better make use of this time by completing another entry with my nutrition / workout updates. 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'...
