IM ALIIIIVVVVEEE!

You want to know the worst part about being sick? That moment where you are so congested you have to sleep with your mouth open because that's the only way you are able to breathe.

Scratch that. The worst part about being sick is when you are so stuffed up you can only breathe through your mouth AND you are trying to EAT! It's not like you can put food in your ears and taste it. That sounded super weird, didn't it? Could you imagine eating through your ears as being the norm? Like that would be the way of life? And this is where my sick brain is at...

Now that that thought has left the building here's a new thought - I haven't been to the gym in 2 weeks!! That's 14 days. Me so sad. Last week for some unforgivable reason I told myself "let's eat garbage and not go to the gym" and I stuck it through. All the way. And then this past week I get sick? So I have zero energy and zero appetite. Wednesday I had a protein shake, a banana and (3) samosas. Yesterday - a protein shake, banana, sweet potato fries ... and get this - wine! I thought I was better so I went out with Kristina and her little human (Sydney). We walked around, took the bus together and played Pokemon Go. Everything was fine and dandy until my nose got stuffed up again and waking up today... ugh. It's like the cold came back twice as hard ringing in my ears "Hey Anna! Forget about me?!"

As I'm writing this blog I have sweat slowly dripping down my forehead. I'm awake after a 3 hour nap wearing 2 shirts, a big oversized cozy sweater, dri fit leggings and socks (my feet are covered in Vicks vapour rub). Today is the day I get healthy. I'm at mama Biss' place and she made her super awesome yummy and delicious homemade chicken noodle soup. I could bathe in it. Well not really, I would end up burning a couple layers of skin off. What is up with my brain thinking of such unusual things? And now I'm picturing it... great. Maybe it's time for another chug of water and a nap. 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'...
