GOING TO CHANGE

I think that one of the best things about training myself to be focused on getting healthy is that its making me a more disciplined person and a more energetic and active person in all aspects of my life.

Thats exciting! Getting healthy is making me an all around better person. I have the dedication and energy to stay late at work? WHAT!?! For those of you who know me best thats a pretty amazing thing. I don't stay late at work- especially not 2 extra hours. This is the first year in my career that I have  put so much dedication and energy into my job. I know that sounds horrible but I truly think its a mind body thing. 


I have the desire to be healthy
I have been making myself be disciplined enough to get to the gym and eat right
I have dedicated myself to to making a change 


Speaking of this commercial is about high school sports really but I saw at the gym and it was inspiring!

"Remember this hurt. Think about it when you want to sleep in in the morning. Think about it when want to shut it down instead of doing an extra set. Promise yourself that you will never ever feel like this again. Promise yourself that you will come back UNTOUCHABLE!" 






My friend the other day posted an image that said something like this 
"I want to be the heroin of my life story not the victim!"

AMEN 

It is time for me to stop being lazy, complacent, and comfortable with doing less than what I am completely capable of. It is time for me to change the way I view life and see that I can be a strong powerful woman in all aspects of my life!

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
