TO NOT BEING THE FAT CAT

OH SNAP! Its August- summer is almost over and pretty soon I will be back at work and hopefully I will still find time to blog and stay motivated! SO TODAY I got home from "work" what we will call work because I had to be there to get credit for comp days for Thanksgiving. I didn't actually work but going and listening to someone read to me for 3 hours and then just sitting in a room and diddling around checking e-mail and somewhat talking about music with my fellow choir director was NOT work but very boring and tiring. SO when I got home I do what I do best and stripped off these pants grabbed a diet coke and started watching me some criminal minds. My husband got home not much later than I did and he was ready to hit the gym and saw me obviously in my "WTF... I AINT WORKING OUT" mode. He honestly said to me "Oh you aren't going to the gym ok well I am leaving" I honestly came close to saying "Ok bye!" but then I realized DANG GIRL you gave up easy. Thats what getting out of the work out routine does. It makes you think that laying on the couch will be better and more rewarding than going to the gym. THESE ARE LIES FUELED BY MY EVIL FAT ASS SO... I did this instead
Put on my new snazy workout shirt and kicked butt at the gym. We always say this afterwards but its SO TRUE. "I actually feel better now than I did before when I thought that I couldn't do it." Working out makes me feel energetic and it makes me feel PROUD.
So here is saying bye to my old story
and HELLO to the new one hahahah (but not for too long lets hope!)
SO NOW I FEEL LIKE THIS
AND NOT THIS

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
