A whole lot of mish mash

I really need to start taking my laptop home again. Blogging on my mobile just doesn't feel right. I imagine people who blog everyday at home with their nice desk and cup with pens and highlighters and shit and a coffee and a big ol' smile on their face.

Me: Sitting slouched on the couch, smirking contemplating who I'm going to bore next with my life.

Sometimes I wonder if anyone actually reads. And then there are times like these where I just don't give a shit. It feels nice to blog. Like an online journal. If I'm mad I'm going to rant about it. Like here's a mini rant about people who are always angry - if you are angry, or upset about something you don't need to bring that shit to work or where ever you go and whomever you encounter. You really want to ruin someone's day and bring them down with you? This is why I think the world is such an unhappy place. There are people that are having some majorly bad days and they take it out on the world. If you aren't happy with your life - DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. It won't change for you. Cmon we all know nothing in life is going to be handed to you. If life were easy, it would be BORING AF. We wouldn't learn anything. There wouldn't be any challenges. There wouldn't be much of anything. Smh.

That's my thought of the day.

Another thought: I should be hungover today. I literally wrote that sentence and then contemplated back spacing that sentence. I'm supposed to be on a health and fitness journey and I'm still drinking the wine. Well for those of you who also drink, here's a tidbit for avoiding a hangover: Consume healthy shit and you won't get a hangover.

Trying to think now what I ate. Morning I had celery for breakfast. Morning snack was 1/2 leftover lunch of brown rice/chicken/cucumber/tomato and a Greek vinaigrette. Actual lunch was my lunch with a side of celery. Dinner I had sweet n sour chicken, honey garlic chicken, Thai noodles, bean sprouts and post dinner was wine (lots) and pizza.

Come to think of it I didn't eat too healthy but maybe it helps eating healthy a few days before. What more can I say? We started drinking at 7 pm until about 4 am. I wonder how Kristina is feeling today..

Anywho - today's plan is celebrating Ashler's birthday. Beer tour, walking and grabbing dinner. Hoping to stay grounded today and not drink heavily because tomorrow is another celebration: Mine and Jack's birthday with the family. Mom's cooking up one of my favourite dishes accompanied with my favourite dessert. I'll blog about that tomorrow. Stay tuned.


Huge PS though - I actually fit into last years shorts. I cannot begin to describe how terrified I was to put these babies on. I was for sure thinking I would have a big muffin top hanging over these jeans (which would result in "I hate myself" and forbidding myself to go out because I would feel like a fat slob... ) but nope not this time around. Thanks to consistency, motivation, meal planning and prepping and determination (and walking everywhere I go now a days) I fit in! Perfectly. Non scale victory for me today. I'm feeling confident today and ain't no one gonna bring me down.

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'...
