The last couple of months

May 2, 2013 by Lils

What have I been up to ? I wish I could share some good and excited news with you all but the last couple of months have been pretty rough. Nothing major happened, just every time we tried to make a move, someone, somewhere shut us down. I don’t really want to go into details but what I’d like to share with you all is how I’ve been particular feeling this past month. I’ve been pretty unmotivated and depressed for a while, but after every little thing that fell apart this past month I’ve been the lowest I’ve ever been.

I don’t classify what I’m feeling as a depression, but It’s not far from it to be honest. I’m having a hard time sleeping, always super tired, always sick, barely able to get my butt to work, I cry all the time, really unmotivated to do what so ever, the list goes on and on and on. I don’t want to bore you with all this negativity but I am trying step by step to make things better. I haven’t found the magic solution yet but in the mean time I will try to blog, but I can’t guaranty anything because I have to take it taking it day by day. I hope you guys are doing great and I can’t wait to be in a better mindset to blog and share my life with you guys. <3

If you do feel like your in a similar situation, shoot me an email at info@mostlyfitness.com let’s talk ! I found it’s the best way to get better.

Sort of…

I completely forgot it was Wednesday until 5pm today ! I’ve been so out of the loop lately, work has been extremely busy ! I can’t wait at the end of march when things settled down. So please excuse the lack of pictures – I shall describe my meals very thoroughly instead, deal ? Deal !

Breakfast – This will sound like a terrible breakfast, but it was good I promise. I cooked some eggs with some corn of the cobb. I know weird, but I was in a bit of a time crunch and that is all I could think of.

Snack – These crackers ! I bought them at Costco this weekend and we devoured them.

Lunch – Bean salad with some avocado, lime and cilantro ! I actually used this recipe. Angela did not fail me again ! For a quick and simple recipe, it was pretty filling. I wasn’t even hungry for an afternoon snack.

Supper – I made more of Angela’s recipes!

With some simple ingredients I made some delicious Pico de Gallo.

I then proceeded to make another one of her recipes -  Roasted Butternut Squash with Kale and Almond, Pecan Parmesan. I didn’t have any pecan or almonds so I used some toasted sesame seeds with some nutritional yeast. It did the trick !

Cooked some Butternut squash with EVOO, garlic, S&P –

Mix it with Kale and the “Parmesan” and tadaaaa!

I had to have a bit of protein, so I cooked up some Lemon Garlic Shrimps.

I also tried to juice ginger without a juicer. Never doing that again. After 45 minutes this is all the juice I got. I really need to invest in a good juicer!

It has been a longgg day, I’m now going to enjoy tea while reading some Malcolm Gladwell.

Good night guys <3

Do you juice a lot ?

Do you prep your breakfast the day before ?

Spring Fever!

Feb 25, 2013 by Lils

What a beautiful day ! We’ve been having really great weather recently. After 4 months of snow, ice and wind – I can official say I’m tired of winter !

Callie was not impressed. What dog wants to be inside on a beautiful day !

Tonight’s supper was Roasted Tomato and Onion Soup ! I started by roasting some onions –

A little bit of tomatoes –

Covered with EVOO, Salt & Pepper.

After an hour at 400 degrees F – Tadaaa

I also had to roast some garlic to go with this amazing soup.

Finish product ! It doesn’t look to tasty but trust my it was delicious ! Once the veggies are roasted this soup takes literally 3 minutes.

How cute is this little pup ! <3

On another note – look what I got in the mail today !! Ahh I’m so excited, I can’t wait to try out Gina’s Amazeballz & so much more ! I’ve been out of protein powder for a while now and it’s driving me crazy. Any recommendation on gluten free & vegan protein powders other than Perfect Fit and SunWarrior ?

What are you looking forward to ?

What’s your favorite thing to do with protein powder?

Get ready for V-day

Feb 7, 2013 by Lils

Lately -

I’ve made these purchases and I’m loving them! I haven’t tried the Pink grapefruit mask yet but I’m completely in love with the Dead Sea Minerals mask. It’s only around 4 or 6 dollars, I don’t quite remember but It’s worth the couple bucks. Can we also talk about how the essie nail polishes are amazing?! I’ve had my nail done for a couple days now, and no chips ! Usually, after 2 days my nails are far gone.

We’ve also made a trip to Saskatoon to visit N8’s parents. I had some fun with my camera. I tried to photograph the puppies but having three dogs running around the house like crazy it’s definitely challenging.

We relaxed while drinking some vino. It was a short but great weekend.

After that weekend it was back to reality. This week was crazy, I’m so busy at work that when I come home the only I can do is sleep. I’m trying to up my energy but it’s not really working because I haven’t had a good nights sleep in almost three weeks. It’s driving me crazy ! Any suggestion on how to improve sleep quality ?

Soooo valentine’s day is coming up. What better way to prepare than a good ol’ workout ! lol

You all know I love working my abs ! but you have to make sure to balance your core. You can’t just do abdominal exercises and neglect your back. This workout will work every inch of your back

If you really want to get in tip top shape before V-Day I suggest the Tone it up 5 Day Slim Down. Check out their meal plan, it’s phenomenal ! Great recipes, easy to do, no calorie counting ! What not to love ?!

Any special plans for Valentine’s day ? ?

Have you ever tried the essie nail polishes ?

Artist Spotlight : Krewella

Feb 4, 2013 by Lils

I always love starting the week with new music ! This weekend, I stumble upon a trio that rocked by socks off !  The name – Krewella.

They’re touring right now so make sure to check out if they’re playing in a city near you! That’s one of the negative sides to living in Canada (Snow and winter is definitely number one in my book but that’s another story) you don’t get the opportunity to see amazing musicians since it’s so isolated. Well in Saskatchewan anyways.

Enjoy and make sure to close the blinds and dance your little heart out

This one is by far my favorite ! It has been on repeat for days now !

I love electronic/dance music, especially to pump me up while working out or for running ! I will definitely be adding theses tracks to my playlist !

Hope you had a great Monday <3

Do you listen to a lot of electronic/dance music ?

What kind of music pumps you up for a workout ?
