PRE-WORKOUT


Pre-workout. 
I may be in need of some. It's just past 1:30 pm - my lunch break and I generally go for a walk but since last week I decided that cardio and my steps are no longer important to me. My focus is mostly on weights (and healthy eating obviously) with very minimal cardio. 

In my last post I went on and on and on about waking up so damn early. And now I'm starting to feel like the day is going on too long and my body is getting into a mild daze. I have this pre workout staring at me as I type this blog. It's by the company "Femme Fit" called - lean amino energy - it's pink lemonade flavour. I got this because I read about amazing reviews. 

Just kidding. 
I didn't read shit. I picked it up one day when I was in Winners and noticed 2 things - High in B12 and CLEARANCE. And I was sold. I'm not one to drink coffee (very rarely does it do anything to me) so that was out of the picture. I started off with 1/2 dose because I lurked another blog on how someone said MOST pre workouts make your lips quiver or numb - like what the shit is that about? Kind of freaked me out so here I am being a wuss doing 1/2 doses.. finally got the courage for a full dose and it did nothing. Nothing weird anyways - definitely perked me  up though! As long as I stay hydrated I'm good.  


So here's a picture of the goods
Green coffee (apparently known to help you lose weight)
CLA - Conjugated Linoleic Acid (diet and energy)
Aminos - Protein
Caffeine - do I really have to define this?

0 grams of Sugar. 
However on the backside it contains sucralose. Any of the ingredients ending in "-ose" = a sugar. Always, always read the ingredient label.

44% iron
This is great for women especially during their menstrual cycle. If you aren't taking a multivitamin, iron pills or getting the sufficient amount of iron somehow - you start to feel it and I do not like that feeling. So on my period I take a bit extra of this - kill 2 birds with one stone, right? AM I RIIIIGHT?

Anywho - after this is done I'm going to buy a new pre workout and keep testing them out until I find one that works best for me. Recommendations requested!! 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
