THURSDAY - SUNDAY FOOD / EXERCISE DIARY

This is going to get a bit hard because I no longer have my laptop working at home so I'll be posting pictures and entries in this one single post.

March 9 2017
BREAKFAST: Protein shake
SNACK: Raisin bran muffin
LUNCH: Ranch salad with romaine, cucumber, croutons
SNACK: Same as above

March 10 2017
B: (4) scrambled eggs with ketchup
L: (2) blueberry pancakes with maple syrup and (4) breakfast sausages
 And I didn't log my dinner, whoops!

March 11 2017
B: (2) slices pepperoni pizza
D: (skipped lunch was pretty much snacking as I was at a 2 day bachelorette!
- peanut meatballs, basmati rice, macaroons, wine, spinach dip with pumpernickel bread

March 12 2017 - Sunday - the last day of the bachelorette
B: waffle bar! (2) waffles topped with organic peanut butter, dark chocolate almond butter, - literally SCRAPED both of them on with strawberries, blueberries, dark chocolate chips and banana.
L: Whole wheat pita with veggie / meat sauce (from the stuffed peppers) with mozzarella cheese and green onions.
And the pictures below are dinner at Lee's Restaurant:

This is the 19 ingredient signature slaw. I should have recorded her talking as she tossed this beautiful and delicious salad. It was amazing - I can't wait to go back. Super fresh and a great way to cleanse the pallet between courses. 


Indian vegetable fritters - gluten free - squash, zucchini, onions, chickpea, plantain. Spiced tamarind glaze and mint yogurt. (literally copied the website which I'll add at the bottom)

Rack of lamb - banana fritter (OMG it was so so good) - red sauce: tomato lentil - cumin stew, yellow ring: coconut carrot cardamon chutney and lastly green ring: chili mint. The flavour combinations were excellent. If my friends didn't order it, I don't think I would have but I'm THRILLED they did.


This is Christine. She's been my best friend for 25 years. How many people can say that about their friends? Friends will come and go but sisters are forever and Christine is my non - blood sister. We've been through everything together - laughs, tears, heartaches, and most importantly happiness. She's getting married next month and I am incredibly honoured to stand next to her on the biggest (and most memorable) day of her life. I love this girl!

PS: I didn't get to try her dessert (because I had one coming) but she said it was yummy. - Ice cream with a berry compote inside a pastry.


It was a fat day and a celebration. You can't say no to dessert in this case. This is a vanilla creme brulee with a lemon pastry and a berry compote.Reading the website it said 'lemongrass' creme brulee. I knew there was lemon somewhere just not sure where. It was absolutely delicious. It was really nice to go to an 'adult ' restaurant instead of the usual chains I would go to like Boston Pizza or Wild Wing. I still enjoy them but eating out to different places and trying new things was a great way to end the night. 


So that was my weekend. Back to the grind. Today we are going to get a major snow storm. I'm supposed to go to my parents place after work (mom made my favourite meal). I packed my clothes for Tuesday just in case I spend the night. Will see though. 

OH!
Huge PS - I didn't exercise Saturday / Sunday. I wasn't even thinking. I was offered to use my friends gym in the condo but I didn't pack my running shoes - and she has ridiculously tiny feet. Shame, I packed my gym clothes as my pjs too. Darn shame. Anywho - 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 ...
