Damn it feels good to be a GANGSTER





Yeah I was a total gangster at the gym today. 

I jogged for 5 minutes straight and killed it in abs. WHAT WHAT 

We have all seen the pin about "if you look good afterwards you didn't do it right!" 


SO here is my before and after hahah 







Putting on my tennis shoes is what puts me in the kick butt mood! 




One of the other things that I have been focusing on is looking and feeling better all over- not just with my weight. It makes me feel good about myself and it keeps me on track. SO yesterday I decided to buy new makeup. 


Revlon Photo Ready 
The "airbrush" foam is AWESOME and I also really like the cream blush! 
Looking and feeling pretty helps my body image and keeps me motivated to continue working hard

Also I love this stuff I have been getting it for a couple of years now. Dr. Teals Relax and Relief Eucalyptus Spearmint. Nothing feels better than a minty fresh bubble bath after a hard workout. 





I am going to Aubrey this weekend again and I am really excited but I also have to keep in mind my food goals for this trip. I know I can control cravings and the voice of health is LOUD and PROUD! 
I am taking more of my date mixture but this time I did a "Mexican Brownie" version 
I blended dates, walnuts, cocoa powder, cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and cayenne pepper 
This time I shaped them into brownie like squares. They are AWESOME

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 t

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

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
