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's a groupon going around that's just down the street from me - I think it's 8 classes or so for $40 (that doesn't sound right but I know it's a good deal). A friend from high school is doing it now and admits that it's an insane workout. I can't wait to sweat it out ... right after Christine's wedding.

Can you believe it's next week? Technically this week. It's Sunday April 9th!!! I have not finished the speech or the questions for this game we are involved in but there will be a huge weight off of my shoulders after the wedding.. then things can get back to normal again.

Today marks day 1 of my fruit, vegetable and protein diet. I want to feel fresh and clean (internally) for Christine's big day so that means NO wine, carbohydrates, grains, junk, cheese - except I literally just had a greek salad with feta. I won't be killing it at the gym because I won't be consuming carbs.

Nutrition
Breakfast: 1 baked potato (with skin)
Lunch: Greek salad with vinaigrette - feta, cucumber, tomato, red onion, lettuce
Dinner: 3 egg omlette with spinach and arugula topped with salsa, and plain yogurt.

Workout
17 minute walk this morning
57 minute walk this afternoon (lunch break)

I was going to go to the gym but upon leaving work I developed a massive headache and it also started to rain. Decided to have leg day tomorrow! Stay tuned.
Ps- this detox thing might be happening after Christine's wedding - as I am currently enjoying one of my last glasses of wine. #eveningwin


One of my mew favourite vegetable chips - brussel sprouts!! It happened by accident and what can I say? I'm in love! EVOO, mrs dash garlic and herb, seasoned salt and pepper. 400 degrees for 25 minutes and you have perfection.

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
