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 not lower body - I get enough leg workouts from Hip Hop Abs and walking to and from work.

With boxing aside let me update you on food so far today:
Breakfast: 1/2 banana - I don't know what's up with my body but the sugar content is crazy. I couldn't finish my banana - stomach hurt shortly after.
Lunch: leftover chilli topped with Greek yogurt and green onions - I can't even finish it. I'm so full already ... amazing how water is so filling.

I haven't been able to get up in the morning for a workout - and it's literally killing me inside. I really want to do those double days of workouts but I just cant. My head is always glued to the pillow and I tell myself "just 10 more minutes" about 5 x and before you know it, I have to leave in 10 minutes otherwise I'm late for work. Is it me? Is it the food I've been eating or the weather? It's already Friday so I don't have to wake up early tomorrow but I am going to wake up for 8 am, do a quick ab sculpt, breakfast and get ready for that boxing lesson.

As for today's workout - because of the rain, I most likely will not be walking after work but I will definitely work in a Total Body Burn and Fat Burning Cardio - hopefully Kristina won't come over before I'm done!

On a side note - you know what's crazy? The one day I forget to check the weather in the morning, it rains. Badly. I left my home and shortly after it starts spitting rain. I kept thinking to call Jack since it's his day off to come get me and take me to work - but it's only a 20 minute walk and it wasn't raining hard. So I continued my trek to work. Halfway through my walk it is POURING RAIN and again, I think to myself, "maybe I should stop, wait in the bus shelter and call Jack" but in the very VERY far distance I could see my work. It was only 10 minutes away. I pulled my sweater and draped it over my head and continued walking. I was soaked by the time I got home. Who called me? My boss aka my brother offering a ride.

Lesson from my story: always keep an umbrella in your bag because it's better to be prepared then not prepared at all. Any who - time to check my social media and then back to work. 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
