Happy daze and a little self reflection..

Do you ever wake up and just think to yourself - 'Today is going to be a great day'. That was me this morning. And still is - I can't shake this good feeling. Surprisingly when the bus passed me this morning (just as I got to the bus stop), still didn't ruin my mood. I'm just feeling overall, pretty good.



This morning I walked a quick 15 minutes before getting into work. As usual, I have to take a picture. The two pictures above = the same river just different angles. I can't wait to hit the trails this weekend - maybe Jack will accompany me and if not, I'll be bugging K-star to get some steps. I think I want to focus more so on weight training then cardio. There are some fit people that only do cardio but they lose their tush, and I like having a big one. Today I'm going to focus on lower body and my obliques. Already this morning I did 150 ankle touches. I want to do 150 more before I leave the office. As for step count currently: 3,621 - once I meet my daily goal of 10,000 I'm not going to over step. 



Getting fit is a long journey - it takes will power, control and sacrifice. I'm so excited to be back on track. This blog I want to dedicate to me and my body. I haven't said this before not ever but I love my body. I'm generally pretty hard on myself and always hate on my belly but I'm happy where I am right now. Whether I get more meat on my bones or I tone - I'm happy being me and what I look like. Just the other day my coworker asked me "when are you going to get rid of this" as she pointed to my belly, I knew exactly what she was talking about - liposuction of my abdomen. Yes I wanted the surgery, I wanted the easy way out and to feel good about myself ASAP. Maybe that would help me and my mental state. But today the gears started to turn - I want to accomplish my goals by myself. I want others to know we are all in this together - nothing comes easy. If life were easy, is it really worth living? It would honestly be so boring. Bring on the challenges. Bring on the rain. I'm ready for it and I'm more than willing to fight temptations and be the better person I know I can be. 


Feeling good =)
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
