Leg day!

Last night I said I was grabbing dinner with Jack and his mom and I stated I was going to get a steak and vegetables and not pizza or pasta. Well, technically I still didn't get either of the two however we did end up getting a snack platter which included oven roasted wings, cheese loaf, garlic bread and cactus cut potato chips with (2) dips. I indulged a tad.. I really wanted a salad but didn't want to speak up. She had her heart set on that platter. I really don't like being the one person making a big deal about my lifestyle choices so forgive me, I gave in.

Today I've been a good little Anna.
Breakfast: 1/2 protein shake, 1/4 croissant
Snack: pre workout, 1/2 banana and a handful of mixed nuts - Surprisingly this kept me full for 4 hours. I JUST had my lunch (as seen below)


This is the last (finally) of the leftovers plus I combined it with mama biss stir fry. I'm not 100 % sure what's in it but she did mention she used red cabbage, spinach, ginger, soya sauce, and garlic. I'm 99.9 % sure there are potatoes in it too. I'm pretty confident because I love me some potatoes. Mashed potatoes is my absolute favourite way to prepare potatoes and my mom makes the BEST. 

Haven't worked out yet today. Another day where I haven't been concerned about cardio. It's been raining all day so it's not like I can go for a walk even if I wanted to. Plus, my boots broke. Hopefully mom can fix them. I still can't believe it's coming to an end for April and I'm still to this day wearing my winter coat. Smh. 

Today I'm going to work out my legs using the machines. This time I'm going to attempt the same weights just more reps. 5 set 10 to be exact... will see how that goes. 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...

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'...
