Five days have passed

and I've been doing grrrrrrrrrrreat!

5 Days ago I posted 3 easy changes for my lifestyle and what can I say, I'm rockin' this change. Although Thursday was Meha's Mehndi and I had 1/3 cup of vodka/pineapple juice - which I don't count because it was less than a shot's worth of alcohol. My water intake is through the track. Literally. It goes in, and comes out. By 1 pm in the afternoon, I'm already at 3L. Bonus: my brother who is my boss drinks a ton of water so every time I notice him drinking water, it's an additional push for me.

As for meals, I have not been living like the quote. My dinner has been healthier but definitely not a smaller portion. Like last night for instance, mama biss made salmon (my first EVER experience trying it) and it was deeeeeeeee-lish (also accompanied the dish with sweet potato fries and sesame ginger salad). But at the same time, I double booked myself for a dinner with mama stew (mother in law) for wings - I was so full from my first dinner I could only have 2 wings ... and yes, I had a glass of wine. She ordered a bottle! It's not like I could let her finish a bottle to herself on a weekday.. I'm such a kind person in that way..

So two out of three isn't bad, right? Right.

This is my unappealing lunch - leftover sesame ginger wild green salad with orange pepper and green onions.

Afternoon snack: Blueberries, blackberries and strawberries

I can't blog anymore today. This lady is talking loud into the phone right by the office and it's driving me absolutely bonkers. I'm going to go for a walk for the last 15 minutes of my lunch break.
I literally cannot concentrate and it's driving me INSANE.
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'...
