Love and Support

This post is more personal than about any exercise food or health tips. I guess it is about emotional health and the value of SUPPORT for my weight loss so it applies! I LOVE MY HUSBAND
He supports me and helps me through everything I do in life! I love that he pushes me to do my best and helps me stay motivated. When I don't want to go to the gym he gives me a pep talk and allows me to complain without being rude or negative he just makes me feel motivated and and is patient with me. He actually likes to go to the gym as a couple. When I would go in the morning without him he would get sad because he looks forward to that and so do I. Now I never go without him. Its something we are doing together and it makes me feel more supported! When I am sore he rubs my back. When I eat my healthy meals he eats them with me and never complains or asks me to make different food. He has even been making changes in portion size, drinking less soda, etc. This helps me stay on track by reminding me to also make the right choice because he knows its easy for me to do bad things when he is. He never says anything negative about my body or makes me feel like he wants me to lose weight for any other reason than the fact that I want it for myself. I love it when I tell him something and he gets just as excited about it as I do. I LOST 2 INCHES IN MY WAIST! He gets excited high fives me and gives me a huge kiss. His favorite thing "GOOD JOB KID!" He constantly tells me things he likes about my body and touches me without always making it about losing weight. He makes sure to just love my body at every stage of this journey regardless.
He helped me get up enchanted rock even though I was SO out of shape I had to stop often when we got to the steep part!!!
He supported me and helped me train for the Warrior Dash! He even went with me and made me feel proud of myself at the end... by not hugging my wet muddy body haha! MOST OF ALL HE KEEPS THINGS FUN AND EXCITING AND BESIDES SUPPORTING MY WEIGHT LOSS HE IS A WONDERFUL LOVING HUSBAND ALL AROUND!
So I want to say thank you to my wonderful husband and all the love and support he gives me. I love going on this journey with you!

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
