Excuses?



I didn't go to the gym today.........
 My goal was to work out at least 5 times a week and so by not going today I just added a workout to Sunday. As long as I go the next three days I am still in control. 


I am not sure why I feel so guilty for this because like I said I haven't ruined my weekly goal yet. I think its more that I am upset I didn't GET to go. I wanted to go and had planned on it. I even had my gym clothes on as I had to go to Kroger and not the gym. 
I could have put off going to Kroger until tomorrow and gotten subway and not cooked but I didn't. 


I have to plan better - basically nights I plan to work out I can't go to the grocery store. I want to be an engaged teacher and I am trying to get things in order before school starts with my new room and a ton of new activities and lesson plans but I think I need to start telling myself to leave at 4:30 at the latest. Once I get everything situated in my new room I shouldn't have to worry about needing to stay late though. JUST STAY CALM 
My friend said "You don't find time you make time"


I am all for this as long as I don't push myself too hard and become miserable. Being healthy is about feeling good not being tired and miserable. I am MAKING the time to go at least 5 times a week.
END OF STORY 


NOW here is what I did instead of Subway...



Pork Loin with green chili sauce 


 Hatch New Mexican Green Chilis are in season and Chris's mother is from New Mexico so of course we eat a ton of these. I roasted them over a flame and put them in a ziploc to steam and get the skins loose. 


While that was happening I cut up pork loin and sauteed it with olive oil, cumin, and chili powder. Then I added onion and some light beer! (beer is great flavor and tenderizes the meat)


Then I pureed the green chilis and added them to the pork and a little water. 
 Let it thicken and serve with TORTILLAS! 

 Chris's mother insists I basically scald the tortillas. 
 These were really good - 80 calories for two

Top with cilantro and eat with tortillas. This is not a stew - its almost like a green chili stew but without broth. Its just saucy pork chunks. MMM






Exciting shopping cart addition is my new multi vitamin. 
Its supposed to give you energy .... 
The marketing worked on me for sure! 
It is made with fruits and vegetables, digestive enzymes, amino acids, green foods and organic mushrooms.
25 vitamins and minerals
18 amino acids
12 digestive enzymes
14 green foods
12 organically grown mushrooms
40+ antioxidants

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
