Morocco, Germany, and Paradise IN MY MOUTH

Last night I made another fabulous recipe from the fit cook. She is one of my current recipe addictions. They are just so easy healthy and uber flavorful. Moroccan Split Pea Stew... YEAH DELICIOUS Here is her photo and a link to her recipe
Her photo is GORGEOUS mine is...not First of all I used green split peas because I couldn't find yellow at my store. I also didn't measure the spices I simply did it to my taste- I like a lot of spice. MMM
DANG from her photo I thought it wouldn't be THIS liquid but it calls for 7 cups and I followed that part of the recipe for sure haha.
MMM yeah thats a chicken thigh with a crap ton of moroccan spice. MMM SO as you see here mine is obviously as the recipe indicates a STEW. I guess for her photo she used a slotted spoon and didn't get all that fabulous soup but DANG if you make it eat it like a soup because that broth is HEAVEN.
Now before I post dinner I am actually going to post what I am currently eating... its heaven. haha Non fat greek yogurt topped with pineapple, coconut, and a drizzle of honey. PUT THE HONEY ON IT OK for some reason that floral honey really plays well with the flavors of the pineapple and coconut. YUMMMMMMMMMM Its seriously my favorite thing. One of those where you look at the empty bowl and cry haha
Moving on... German town ya? Tonight it was all about pork and cabbage (well sort of brussel sprouts!)
I love cooking veggies this way. Put them in a skillet with a little olive oil and roast them in the skillet so they get little brown delicious spots MMM. Then I add a little water put on a lid and steam them until tender. YUMMMM Put pork loin in a skillet and brown it with seasonings and then add a little water to get the skillet browning bits and then place it in a baking dish and bake at 350 for maybe 20-30 minutes. Just watch it because over cooked pork isn't as good. I like mine medium!

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
