Post Tuesday.

Gah. Yes Gah!

Tuesdays are always so hectic at work. I usually end up working through my lunch and staying until at least 6 pm. Considering the fact that I haven't woken up at 5 am yet, I knew I had to haul my butt to the gym (which I did) therefore I was not going to stay another Tuesday super late. 

Now that it's Wednesday, I have sooo much work to catch up on. And honestly, I don't think I'll be reaching my weekly goal of waking up at 5 am for the gym. So let's change that to everyday MAKE it to the gym no matter the time and alternate between upper body, lower body, and strictly cardio - either outside, elliptical, bike, whatever. I won't be taking a rest day as I didn't make it to the gym on Monday. 

So here's my update from Tuesday's workout (in no order specifically):
Seated leg press - 1 set 90lb, 1 set 80 lb, 4 set at 60 lb
Leg extension: 1 set at 55 lb, 2 at 45 lb, 1 at 40 lb, 2 at 25 lb (this was my last machine so needless to say my quads were burning)
Seated leg curl: 45 lb (all sets)
Hip Abduction: 85 lb
Hip Adduction: 100 lb
Horizontal calf: 90 lb

Side crunch (each side) 25 lb - for my stubborn love handles.
6 sets of 10 (all machines/exercises)
I started my workout with 15 minutes cardio, and ended my workout with 30 minutes cardio. 

Meals (Tuesday): 
Breakfast - protein shake (1/2 scoop chocolate vegan shakeology, almond milk, water)
Snack- Couple bites of my power house yogurt - shakeo protein, almond milk, greek yogurt, mixed berries
Lunch- Leftover spinach dip from Sunday with pumpernickel rye bread
Dinner (post workout) - no excuses but I was starving. Bourbon St Grill: broccoli/garlic/ carrots/cabbage, rice, honey glazed chicken and bourbon chicken. High protein, high fat. Does that count as keto? Just kidding. For the first time in forever I ate it ALL. I felt like yesterdays workout I burned a ton of calories. I probably didn't but all I know is that the dinner I had planned for yesterday wouldn't have been enough so that's going to be tonight's dinner. 

Kale chips and veggie burgers. Just thinking about it is making me hungry again.. wtf. Better chug some water! Anyways, it's a little past 8 and I should check the messages before the phones start ringing. 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'...
