Thursday vibes.

Yesterday I flopped. I was craving wings so badly and the funny thing is - that I didn't even get wings!
Instead I got this beautiful creation of deep fried and battered onion rings topped with a cesar / parmesan dressing. If I didn't have other priorities like MAJOR priorities that must be taken care of today (such as going to the gym) I would have these all up in my face. But I just can't. Tuesday I went out, Monday I indulged in wine, yesterday I went out and also had 1 and half glass of wine. I don't know what it is but I can't have wine with my dinner. I find the food goes down easier with ice cold water. Or just water period. If I'm drinking any sort of booze, for me, it has to be first thing like an appetizer or while socializing or after dinner like a dessert. PS on the note of food - I also had tuna salad with probiotic yogurt (as seen below) as a snack and post walk leftover chicken and veggies.

Yesterday was gorgeous. If I wasn't super hungry, my feet were dying from not wearing my running shoes. I walked about 30 minutes before having an inner thought talk to myself about bailing on my usual 60 minute walk. It was absolutely gorgeous out and I can't wait for this rain to disappear - I got some serious walks to get to. I was talking to Jack yesterday over dinner (which I ended up getting poutine) and we agreed we both need to get back in shape - like badly. Mind you, I have never been fit. Like, never. I've been smaller but I always had somewhat of a stomach .. even just a little pouch. I really don't want to stress eat or binge eat anymore. Eating out and drinking all the time has taken a toll on my body. Seriously. SERIOUSLY. After Christine's wedding, I'm all for the healthy eating! Most of the time I'm like 'gym gym gym' but if I want to get rid of this stomach I have to eat properly. And the gym alone will not make the cut. 

Speaking of eating properly. All week I have not meal prepped - I mean, I did a bit when I roasted the mixed veggies but I'll be honest, they were store bought pre cut up veggies and I did the brussel sprouts myself. Other than that it's been eating out. Although, I can say I've been proud of myself for one thing: Every other day I have been waking up by 6:20 am to commit myself to abdomen and my love handle workout. Today I focused on obliques (love handles) and did 250 ankle touches and 100 abdomen assisted crunches. If it's raining on my lunch break I'm thinking of doing more ankle touches, girl push ups (on my knees) and some dead lifts. We don't have weights in the office but we have boxes of thousands of papers. I figure I can get creative and use that. 

Tonight I want to focus on my legs with the weights. I haven't been to the gym since Saturday and it's killing me. I am feeling the guilt. 
Plan for after work:
- haul my butt to the gym and work on legs + minor cardio
- quickly run to the grocery store and grab whatever veggie that's on sale to roast for dinner
- work on speeches and shoe game
- pass out. 

I CAN DO IT! 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'...
