Just a quickie.

Anyone else enjoy that title? Me too.

Sorry I haven't posted in a full day - my laptop broke and I don't really have a ton to say about yesterday other than a quick nutrition and exercise update. I had a wonderful meeting with my pops and the bank so that was the highlight of my day.

Left my parents late in the afternoon just in time for annoying school kids to hit the streets and load up on the buses. Great. I hurried my butt to the gym and worked out my lower body. Before I get to my workout this is what I ate:

Breakfast: (2)  over easy eggs, (4) small pieces of whole wheat bread and a pecan turtle coffee with coconut oil and touch of chocolate milk
Lunch: Macaroni, tomato and cheese and (2) helpings of my moms stir fry - cabbage, spinach, carrots, pork in a ginger sauce.
Dinner: (2) chicken tacos - tomato, onion, cilantro and obviously chicken in a sauce and bacon cesar salad on the side.

Lower body workout (in no order):
Seated leg press: 60 lb
Seated leg curl: 45 lb
Hip Abduction: 105 lb
Hip Adduction: 125 lb
^ 4 sets of 8

Side crunch (each side) 25 lb
Sumo squats 10 lb
^ 2 sets of 8

+ 67 minute cardio.
So usually I need a bit of a warm up prior to running on the treadmill and what I learned yesterday was that incline 6 and 3.5 speed is perfect for a warm up. Did that for awhile, then lowered the incline and ran / speed walked for a bit.

REACHED MY GOAL OF 65,000 STEPS FOR THE WEEK. YAHOOO!
Cheers to making goals. YAY! 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...

Rant on perfumes / cologne

Found this rant in my iPhone notebook: Ladies. Why do you bathe in perfume? Some men do it too but I had to bring it up for a little rant because I was just outside walking to the bus stop and all I could smell was perfume and I was still 10 or 15 steps away. There was a woman waiting in the shelter. Decked out as if she was going downtown to pick up an older man in the financial district. Either that or she works in a top notch hair salon... I can't even make a joke properly because my head is still fuzzy from that smell. When I am in a closed space and someone sprays perfume (an abundance of it) I get light headed accompanied by a headache. It's not fun at all. I'm not the only one either which is the reason why most gym change rooms have signs not allowing perfumes to be sprayed. Same with certain departments in the hospital. Nurses shouldn't wear perfume because of the contact with some patients. Anyways, all I'm saying is - even though YOU can't ...
