Adult win

Being an adult sucks. I remember in my younger years wanting to grow up and doing what I want, when I want and how I want. If only we were rich and could be in that zen. Currently it's lunch time and I've paid my Rogers bill, and inquired about a pre approved mortgage. YAY! Living the dream life. I miss the younger years though - not giving a shit about what you ate, and now it's all about counting calories, intermittent fasting, some sort of fad diet and/or keeping up with a healthy lifestyle.

Speaking of which.. here's my update for yesterday's food and exercise (plus so far today):

 
I had to make this picture huge because it was so fcking amazing! Boiled carrots/peas/green beans, roasted potatoes (garlic, pepper, salt and paprika) and lastly the chicken schnitzel! Instead of flour I've been using unflavoured protein powder and it is BOMB. Shoot I just remembered I was thawing pork tenderloin ... gotta make more schnitzel - I doubt Jack is complaining. 
Second recipe I'm going to make tonight: Cauliflower parmesan chicken (technically cauliflower riced)

 1 minute and 34 seconds to do 10 burpees. Of course the last one was a walk out burpee but 1 minute and 34 seconds isn't bad especially for someone that isn't fit at all and lacks so many muscles I could be considered a string bean. Between sets of burpees I was jumping rope. I'm proud to say, second round of burpees I finished in 1 minute and 35 seconds. However - last set took me almost 2 minutes! I'm not going to lie, I'm still pretty proud of myself (even at the 2 minute mark). And you know what? I'm going to the cottage on Friday and yes, I'm going to bring my weights and plan on doing more burpees!

 Look at this little cutie. I literally just finished 5 sets of 10 side crunches using these weights (about 22.5 lb), walk away and come back with a glass of water and see this. "Mama, cuddle me. Don't lift, pet me". What an attention seeker. Glad he did this after I was done though..

 I'm really trying to do better this week and the last week. My intent isn't to lose weight OR tone, it's to make my organs happy and stop consuming crap. This was my breakfast: 1/2 scoop unflavoured protein powder, lemon yogurt, spinach and almond milk. It was absolutely delicious and the perfect consistency. I'm definitely going to have another one for dinner.. to go alongside scrambled eggs. High protein, fibre dinner.
Oh and the meals I was planning to make later ... that's more meal prep. HAHA JACK. 
(he hates when I meal prep)

 Protein shake to start the day. Mid morning snack I had 10 large seedless green grapes and now - more chicken schnitzel! 1 large piece of schnitzel + a smaller piece of chicken dusted in protein powder and baby carrots (raw). 

Although Monday Kris came over and I had a couple beers.. I'm actually feeling really, really good about myself. My body feels cleaner and fuller. My metabolism is back up to regular speed and I'm eating every 2 hours. Lunch is over, time to get back to work. 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'...
