Good Morning LOVE

AH Saturday mornings are the best with my boo... and even better with a delicious cup of coffee from my favorite cup!
This mug came from our honeymoon and we stayed in Kingsland, TX at The Antlers Hotel in an old railroad caboose. I couldn't post the link for some reason but check it out at theantlers.com Anyway as usual inspired by Pinterest I decided to make these biggest loser oatmeal pancakes this morning and I was NOT dissapointed.
The idea of blending cottage cheese, oatmeal, and eggs was sort of weird to me but I trusted the recipe and did it!!
I used low fat cottage cheese, brown sugar (probably could have used splenda but it only asks for 2 tsp. so I figured it was ok), and added extra cinnamon OF COURSE.
If you attempt to make these also know that they are thicker than regular pancake batter and take a lot longer to cook through but they are very worth it. Its like a delicious oatmeal cake or a soft oatmeal cookie. In thinking of oatmeal cookies I added dark chocolate chips to my husbands.
I decided to keep myself on the low calorie train and not use butter but instead apple butter that we got on our trip to Pennsylvania and top it with sugar free syrup.
I don't love sugar free syrup but the brand I found that tastes most like the real thing and not with a weird sour fake sugar taste is Mrs. Butterworth's. With only 20 calories for a whole 1/4 cup it is perfect! It was seriously a delicious breakfast and you can find the recipe HERE. ENJOY!!!!

FITSPO

So maybe I have been under a rock but I just heard about this whole "thinspo" ban from pinterest, tumblr, instagram etc. I was never into "thinspo" because I don't want to look like a stick. Example of thinspo BUT NOW they are talking about if fitspo is also a negative thing. Example of fitspo  There are mixed emotions about fitspo. I personally think that it is beneficial to me. I don't beat myself up and it doesn't make me have an unhealthy view of my body or make me do crazy things like starve myself. It motivates me to go to the gym which I need to be doing. This is from the new york times about fitspo being the new thinspo " But in our rush to focus on health -- or at least the perceived appearance of health -- we’re simply setting up a new idealized figure to chase after, and not necessarily one that is any better for us. What kind of monster is against health? This kind, I suppose. While I mightily dig the notion of ind...

Crossfit and a sex doll.

I have been working out pretty consistently and have been weightlifting for a while, but I decided that I wanted to do something more. I have been thinking about trying CrossFit but I am scared to do it alone. I mentioned the idea to my husband and he said he was interested in trying it too. I am really interested in lifting heavy and getting more physical strength.  I am really proud that I have lost over 100 pounds, but I will say my body isn't exactly how I imagined it would be. I pretty much feel like this...  It's weird how your body just kind of deflates. My skin is weird. I am not really comfortable with my arms or thighs - hello short and tank top season. I also hoped my stomach would go away and while it is smaller it's just a smaller deflated version of what it was. I was morbidly obese and had a child. My stomach will probably never be viewed by anyone and that is fine, but when you look at this as motivation  and then you get...

Health and Beauty

This morning after my multi hour internet health blog and pinterest binge I was wondering should I be taking supplements? My husband drinks protein powder after he works out but he is big and not trying lose weight but build muscle. I want to build muscle too because ultimately I want to actually have a fit body not just lose weight. I wonder if I am supposed to lose the fat first and do weights obviously while I am losing weight but then once I get most of the fat gone and want to be a more serious muscle builder THEN take supplements? I don't even know if I want to take supplements. For some reason I feel like taking pills and powders is unhealthy. Maybe because I have a past with the whole diet pills, meal replacements etc. I don't think those work and I think they are a waste of my time and money. I want to do something that is good and right for my body. I want to eat FOOD not take short cuts that eventually fail me. There isn't a magic powder or pill thats going to ...
