Reflection time.



Can I just say how much I'm enjoying the nicer weather? Sure it's raining but at least it's not Brrrr damn cold so cold that I have to wear my winter coat and boots. I can still get away with wearing my crappy shoes with zero support. And then obviously I bring my sneakers for the gym - which by the way I AM GOING TO THE GYM TONIGHT! 

I used to tell myself "if I don't make it to the gym by --- (insert time)" or "if I'm not at the gym by 6:30 pm I'm not going. I'll just do cardio on the WiiU instead". But what I failed to realize all those times is that doing cardio won't make you fit. It won't help you to reach your goal. It won't make you strong as a whole. Sure it will make your legs strong but that's it. You don't get a booty by doing cardio.

Contradictory to this post, I was doing cardio this morning and with a good reason. There was an accident close to where Jack drops me off. I got so excited! TWO fire trucks, an ambulance, a tow truck and a cop car... my excitement diminished when I came up to the accident and behold - it was a tiny fender bender. At least I got a beautiful picture so it was still worth it. I couldn't go for a walk on my lunch - it was Brrr damn cold. Like frig, winter weather can kiss my ass. Either be winter with glistening snow or fck off. It's mostly the wind I dislike. I guess I'm just in a complaining kind of mood. I'm mostly upset with myself.

End of April I told myself:
Anna, you can do this. You are not going to drink alcohol - no beer, no wine, no booze - NOTHING until your birthday. You are also going to be a strong woman. No hesitations. No excuses. You will get your butt to the gym either by 5:30 am before work or DEFINITELY after work. You will work hard, eat well and achieve the body you desire.

With all this being said I was good until this past Monday. This is the day when I wanted to give my warning about my two weeks notice to the boss' wife but instead HE was with her and when I was giving the warning, she handed the phone to him. So let's just say Monday was a bit stressful for me. Which carried onto Tuesday when he came into the office to discuss it... Tuesday was shot. Yesterday was Wednesday and I went for a walk on my lunch - so that was cardio - however I still planned on going to the gym after work which obviously didn't happen. Which leads to today. I just feel super guilty because that's my lack of workouts and here's my food -

I DON'T EVEN KNOW!
I haven't logged my food but other than those delicious wraps, I know I've been bad. I don't even want to blog about it but I know afterwards I'll feel better about it. Monday is too long ago, I can't remember but I know either Sunday or Monday I had all you can eat .. yeah you know I remember I posted about that. Whatever day it was, it happened. Tuesday I had the beers (during the day I had a wrap). Yesterday I had a wrap, an apple, tons of water (as per usual) and then this happens...

So Jack and I are laying in bed watching YouTube videos. And he suddenly turns to me, "lets skip the walk and get pizza instead" and I look at him, nudge his head to the side and whisper "I was thinking the same thing!" Literally I was.
And I don't know why. Like I wanted to go for the walk but I also didn't want to cook dinner. In a way I miss meal prepping but also in a way I started to get bored really easily. And I hate to say it but I'm thinking I'm going to start making eggs for dinner every night. Or something of high protein, low carb and loads of veggies. I should really start making my own salad dressings because that would be absolutely perfect. Anyways, it's home time. 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'...
