Meal prep morning

So today marks the second day I'm assisting my brother. Today I'm not nervous. Why you might ask? He texts me sometime last night (because you know I'm already passed out by 8:30 pm) to ask if I want to join in for a Shaun T workout. OBVI.

My brother was the one to introduce me to Insanity! He even burnt multiple discs of the workout. It's funny though - I asked him if his workouts are longer than 25 minutes because I started doing Focus T 25 ... and he's like " well I want to do a full workout but bring it anyways". Dude doesn't know that T25 makes Insanity look like child's play... Aint he in for a TREAT!

I look in the fridge and realize we literally have nothing. Like I can tell you right now what's in the fridge - a huge container of water, another huge jug of iced green tea, shit load of condiments, baking yeast (been there for almost 3 years) lol I swear I meant to make bread and just kept forgetting... until now. Umm..minced garlic, butter (is that a condiment?), almond milk and chicken broth.

The freezer on the other hand has all the goods - frozen fruit, vegetables, bananas, Yves soy 'meat', and ice. I think I'm forgetting something but I seriously don't want to get up to check.

Since I don't have any food prepped, I grabbed 2 red potatoes - the very last 2, slice and dice them up and no I didn't wash them and this is how I'm building my immune system. Ha! Okay and added Extra virgin olive oil, Mrs dash salt free garlic and herb seasoning and pepper. I can even hear it in the oven right now - it's making that high pitched noise due to high temperature.. or maybe our oven is extremely old.

While that's roasting, I chucked 1/2 bag of frozen mixed veggies into a microwave safe bowl with 6 tablespoons of water. Microwaved 4 minutes, added 1 teaspoon of garlic and a dash of lemon juice then popped the veggies back in for 5 minutes.
Currently waiting for it to cool so I can add it to my container for my lunch (and also snag a couple bites as a quick breakfast).

BUT WHERE'S THE PROTEIN THO?
Don't worry kiddos, I'm making a protein shake as well. This will be my morning snack because my brother is in the process of moving his company and the fridge is already taken to the other location. Did you know that chicken can only stay out for 4 hours before it starts developing salmonella? Yeah I didn't know that.. but that's chicken. Still, after the week in the fridge for my poor protein shake that other time I just don't want to f*ck that shit up again so I want to drink my protein shake FIRST when I get hungry.

I also packed an apple and unsalted nuts for a snack today. Timer just went off for the potatoes!! 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
