IM BACK BABY!

Hey gym, sorry I haven't been around but this time I want to make it long lasting and for reals.

I ALMOST skipped the gym and instead went out with K-star. Thankfully though, she was running late to head to her daughters school to pick her up and it was pissing rain out. Usually when it rains I contemplate for awhile about going to the gym. Constantly thinking of excuses of not to go but not today. I guess I had some fight in me to make it to Good Life.
Today's workout: leg day!! I'm pretty proud of myself today because I tend to stick to the machines with weights. I hardly ever step outside my comfort zone and go to the free weights but I had some woman in my brain telling me to try a sumo squat with a dumb bell - just try something new - anything. Oh shoot I forgot to log I did side lunges too (no weights). Dang it. Well, I'm glad I tried something new. It's always going to be a learning experience :)

Post gym. Literally. I have never been so HANGRY as I was earlier. Today is my second day of my second week of intermittent fasting (not counting my sick week) and so my first meal was a tuna salad sandwich on flax and quinoa bread (roughly 11:30 am) and my second meal - the picture above - wasn't until 7 pm.. Have you ever worked out and not had food immediately after? It's like death! I think my muscles were even yelling at me to eat something, anything! Anywho- I ate all the vegetables, 2/3 of rice and 1/2 chicken (didn't really eat the chicken in sauce - too sweet and tangy) overall good though. 

*winks* yes, I'm hitting on myself. YO SEXY! Check out those lean legs. Okay so the left hand side that's November 2016. Middle = January 2017 and lastly on the right is today. I'm almost positive my calf is getting leaner but I can't really tell with my thigh /quads. I want to say yes but I have a hard time telling a difference there. Either way I feel pretty good about myself. All smiles tonight. Ps: current step count: 11,772 YAY ME! 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
