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...

Goals

Every day I try to accomplish mini goals. Today isn't just a regular day. Not like any other day.. no no no. It's a family get together. Family get togethers are like "it's someone's birthday you can have a little" "it's a celebration, have some wine / booze it would be a sin not to" "why aren't you having any of my birthday cake? So rude. Just a sliver!" Etc. I am thankful that my family understands and respects my choices of lifestyle. Not every family does. And some people just don't have the self control / will power. I get that. I've been down that road many times. And this is why I make mini goals. With that being said, today I propose to you my mini goals and then I will blog by the end of the night (or tomorrow) if I achieved them and what exactly happened... 1. Complete Speed 1.0 2. Reach 10,000 steps (even though my goal is 13,000.. usually on weekends I barely make it to 7,000) 3. Stay low carb 4. ACTUALL...
