YOU GOT THIS

Saw this on Pinterest and it really made me think about this whole thing differently. Why in the world would I allow myself to give up when I literally think about my weight constantly everyday. How can you ignore something that is this important to you? How can I let myself live in a way that doesn't make me happy? I want to try to get pregnant in 2-3 months and I really want to weigh a lot less when carrying a baby. This past week both myself and my husband have been busy visiting with family and working on our house and didn't go to the gym ONCE for a whole week!!! AGH I was still watching my food - minus the birthday cake and pie I had... and also I could have gone to the gym if I had made myself. I remembered this pin from a month or so ago.
If I can spend an hour on Facebook and Pinterest and then tell myself I am too busy to go to the gym I am obviously LYING to myself. So again if I think about this everyday and its this important what is holding me back?
THIS... I know that I have a hard road ahead of me and it is going to take a long time and the thought of how much work and time its going to take makes me feel overwhelmed. I wouldn't say I was doing BAD but my goal from the last post was to work HARD. I went to the gym yesterday and kicked some BUTT. I felt so much better about myself and like I was strong and capable. I want to focus on that feeling not the overwhelmed feeling of a long road ahead! This weeks motto...

FITSPO

Image
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.

Image
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 ...
