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.

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

I really hope I can hold onto this

Monday, July 31st, 2017 is my time to SHINE! I'm committing myself to a major change and I think I'm ready for it. Social calendar is cancelled which means less expenses and no drinking. Time to take a big breath and continue on... I'll be starting Focus T25 (I love my Shaun T workouts). 5:45 am every morning (hopefully) I'll be rolling out of bed - yes I'm gross - I'm going to sleep in my workout gear - grab my water and tie up my runners and popping that DVD in. I re-reviewed the Nutrition Guide and I absolutely love when shit is written out for me and I don't have to think twice about a recipe or what I'm going to eat. There are a number of options which is AWESOME so I can pick what I want, and sadly (for Jack) prep for breakfast, snacks, lunch and dinner. Ultimately I want to work out in the morning and do minor cardio after work. But who's to say this will all happen - I'm just baby steppin' so far. My #1 GOAL is to STICK with

Boxing!!

Do you ever get so ticked off you just want to punch something? Me too. All the damn time. Sometimes I'll even punch the wall.. no, not smart at all but it happens. A friend has been going to Boxing lessons for about a month now (I think) and I always wanted to join but I'm extremely terrified - I'm mostly afraid my form will be incorrect and it will be a one on one experience. Other than that, I'm absolutely pumped! I really hope I enjoy myself because I hear boxing is an INSANE WORKOUT. There's been a Groupon for this place since forever, I always saw it being recommended to me on my account and I figure - about time. I better get my ass in gear! If I learn the proper form and enjoy it, I'm 100 % sure I'm going to get a dummy or a punching bag and start punching when I'm angry. I already checked out prices - expensive - of course for the good quality and cheap for crappy bags that will break in no time. I hope it's all upper body though and n
