Finally.

Let's get one thing out of the way before I continue this blog: I am not going to the gym today.

So far I have had a great day and I'm on cloud 9. This is the start of something new and I really, really hope this works out. I haven't worked out today and I'm almost at my goal of 10K. The most I've done so far is walk around Wal-mart looking for a new laptop (yes, one was purchased) and sweeping /cleaning my brothers old office.

Finally - I have a working laptop
Finally - someone appreciates my hard work and applies that recognition to me
Finally - everything seems about right.

Everything is quickly coming together. When the deal is done, I'll share more. As for now, I'll update with my nutrition and workout
Yesterday's 
Dinner: 6 mild wings, carrots and celery, cesar salad with chicken (1/2 portion) and water to drink.. SHOCKER right? For once I went out and did not order wine or alcohol as a beverage

Workout:
5 sets of 10----
Horizontal calf 130 lb
Hip abduction: 70 lb (I did Adduction first and was literally so WEAK after my 5th set)
Hip adduction: 130 lb
Seated leg press: 55 lb
+ 20 minute cardio - 10.0 incline at 3.0 speed

Even though I'm upping my weights for my legs, the hardest part of yesterday's workout I would have to say was the cardio session. Incline 10 is insane .. I was pretty much in lunge position, taking long steps. Sweat dripping down my face within the first 8 minutes and I wasn't even walking fast. My booty was jiggling though - in a good way of course.

Today's
Meal 1: (2) bites of a protein bar - I was incredibly nervous - it was incredible because I was only meeting up with my brother...
Meal 2: 1/2 leftover cesar salad from last night + 2/3 baked skinless boneless chicken breast

I told myself this week I was going to eat low carb, high protein and high vegetables - what should I eat now?

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'...
