This week's adventure (So far)

Greetings. Again.

Let's hop to it.
Tuesday I was sort of fasting.
I had my first meal at 10:30 am - leftover cheesy bread (from take out Domino's pizza) and it made my stomach do flip flops for a solid 2 hours!! I'm not sure if it was the carb amount or the cheese but I won't be touching that crap for awhile! (and by crap I mean cheese).
Lunch: roasted veggies
Post lunch: romaine, shredded carrots, croutons, ranch dressing
Dinner: 1 glass of white wine, 1/4 pint of Canadian, 4 breaded and sauced wings, fries and gravy (with white vinegar too).

Workout
Morning: 100 abdomen assisted crunches, 50 ankle touches + 15 minute walk outside
Afternoon: 35 minute walk (again, outside)
Evening: 15 minute treadmill +  (all below 3 reps of 8):
Leg extension: 55 lb
Seated leg curl: 50 lb
Seated leg press: 75 lb
Hip adduction: 120 lb
Hip abduction: 100 lb (usually I'm stuck at 90 lb) - YAY!
Horizontal calf: 135 lb + 140 lb (3 reps of 8 for each weight)

Wednesday (yesterday)
Breakfast: rice and roasted asparagus and peppers
Lunch: Santa fe chicken (salsa, rice, chicken, black beans - baked)
Dinner: Steak, mixed veggies, 1 glass of pinot, garlic toast. PLUS! 1 large fry and Mc Chicken from McDonalds. I WAS CRAVING SO HARD. Not like it matters but this was post gym.

Workout
Morning: 15 minute cardio
Afternoon: 40 minute cardio (walking with my home girl, Kristina)
Evening: 30 minutes cardio on the stationary bike (before weights) + 15 minutes cardio on treadmill (after weights) + 3 reps of 8 of the following:
Standing lat pull down: (2) sets at 30 lb, 1 set at 25 lb
Chest press: 25 lb (usually at 20 lb) another YAY!
Pectoral fly: 30 lb
Deltoid fly: 30 lb
Seated row: 35 lb (here there are 2 different handles so I strive to do both which I THINK targets different muscles in the back - because it feels different - I could be wrong though).
Tricep extenion: (2) sets at 35 lb, 1 set at 30 lb
Bicep curl: 20 lb
Side crunch: 25 lb (each side)


Wednesday and all the walking. Second one down I actually had the fitbit on my sneakers - which still tracks my activity when I'm on the bike so that's why the colours are all wonky. (Thx for the tip, Nikki!)


This beautiful steak. I think I found my new go to when I arrive at Boston Pizza! Medium rare 8 oz steak with double the veggies, and a piece of garlic toast. PERFECTION. Yum. I want it again..


This is where I left the day at. Almost at 20K steps. Can't wait for the weather to become warmer!! 

PS: I want to say I "deserved" that Mc Donalds because I worked out so hard yesterday but I can't. A cheat is still a cheat, deserved or not and I already 'cheated' on Tuesday. So that just means I have to be a good little b*tch the rest of the week. Oh Kristina, this will be a damper on our weekend festivities!! 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'...
