WOMEN BE SHOPPIN'

Today I went to L-View for a shopping trip for my niece's b-day party next weekend. While there we also stopped at Academy...this is bad for me because I love workout clothes and shoes and Academy has some good ones. I always love to buy new clothes because it makes me want to work out more!
I really needed some new tennis shoes because the ones I bought before rub the back of my ankle BAD. They are really nice Nike shoes - hot pink and black but I can't wear them because they are painful and I have had them for over a year and they never "broke in" as my husband said would happen. I have been wearing my fun bright colored tennis shoes that are NOT for working out they are like wear around town shoes really or good for Zumba but not jogging and all the crap I have been doing. SO I got some today and I LOVE THEM.
They are New Balance- super comfy and only $50. I really wanted this pair of Under Armor shoes that were $90 but Chris made me realize these were just as cute and saves us some money! AND with the money saved I looked for CLOTHES. This can be tricky as Academy doesn't carry plus size clothes just "Regular" ones. I found a pair of shorts I saw before on a clearance rack. They didn't fit when I tried them on the last time we were there so I was nervous but knew that I might be able to fit in them. They were on clearance for $4.88 so I thought I might as well for that price I am not wasting money on shorts that won't fit by next short season right? BA...
BAM!!!!
I really love the pattern and color! And for under $5 and plus super motivating that they fit now when last time I couldn't even BUTTON them AND they aren't plus size they are "regular" clothes haha YEAH WHAT WHAT You could say that my tennis shoes were reward for fitting into the shorts AND they are also going to aid me in continuing to get smaller until my $5 shorts don't fit anymore.

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
