Day 4

Proud of my boo boo, Jack for getting up early (again) for an early morning gym session. 

Today's focus was SUPPOSED to be strictly cardio but forgetting my towel and getting bored on the treadmill led me in a different direction.

45 minutes post cardio I saw the adductor and abductor machines were free - so I hopped on there and then had a chance to walk around the gym with Jack. Usually when I come to the gym I head straight to the women's section which is blocked off so no men are allowed.  The women's section also has less machines, less weights and less options. It's mostly cardio with a few machines and poor selection of weights.
After I finished my legs I pretty much turn to Jack and I'm like 'yo I'm bored and I'm hangry - can we go' and sooo - he went to the men's locker room to shower and change.

I on the other hand continued to be a dirty, sweaty and smelly mess and headed back to my home (the women's section) and wouldn't you know it - THE WEIGHT SECTION WAS EMPTY. PRAISE THE LORD!

Grabbed the 25 lb circular weight (for the bar - I have no idea what it's called) woot Noob! Completed those side crunches and then struggled through the tricep dips. I know it was a random muscle split but I couldn't help myself. I honestly couldn't. I had to do some other form of working out and not just sitting on my ass waiting for Jack to clean up and get ready.

Anywho - there's work to be done now. 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...

Goals

Every day I try to accomplish mini goals. Today isn't just a regular day. Not like any other day.. no no no. It's a family get together. Family get togethers are like "it's someone's birthday you can have a little" "it's a celebration, have some wine / booze it would be a sin not to" "why aren't you having any of my birthday cake? So rude. Just a sliver!" Etc. I am thankful that my family understands and respects my choices of lifestyle. Not every family does. And some people just don't have the self control / will power. I get that. I've been down that road many times. And this is why I make mini goals. With that being said, today I propose to you my mini goals and then I will blog by the end of the night (or tomorrow) if I achieved them and what exactly happened... 1. Complete Speed 1.0 2. Reach 10,000 steps (even though my goal is 13,000.. usually on weekends I barely make it to 7,000) 3. Stay low carb 4. ACTUALL...
