Put that A$$ to work!

LMFAO has to have the best workout songs ever! Today I put my a$$ to work....well sort of
I decided not to go to the gym today but to pull out my bike, weights, and box and do an at home workout. I have to say I know I can still push myself harder! After riding the bike I started doing jumping jacks and really pooped out and didn't do but like 10 and then gave up.
HAH I read a fantastic blog yesterday called House of Smiths which I found through pinterest for her awesome home diy ideas. This particular post really inspired me she asks "Are you working hard or hardly working out?" and yes most of the time I am hardly working. I did push myself today and I did workout for an hour... I did my step ups and arm/tricep work as well as the bike and I pushed to go fast until my legs started to seriously ache. I do think I could be doing more and harder work but sometimes its hard to find the motivation from within. I want to tell myself "girl you worked hard you can stop" but I know my fat butt wants and needs more and I do have more to give I am just not giving it. BUT I am not going to hate on myself - I like Shelley Smith am going to say
So here is to working harder and pushing my A$$ to really work! BECAUSE I CAN tomorrows CHALLENGE 1. 1 minute plank 2. Do 10 reps on your steps. 1 rep= up & down steps. Between each rep at the bottom of the steps, do 10 jumping jacks. 3. 1 minute plank 4. 4 reps of steps; 10 jumping jacks between reps 5. 10 pushups 6. 2 reps of steps; 10 jumping jacks between reps 7. 10 pushups 8. 1 minute plank

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...

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 ...
