Bachelorette Survival

I have not posted the last few days because I haven't felt very good and I have not been to workout the last two days. My knee started bothering me again on Tuesday and so because I wasn't working out it made me feel like I gained 30 pounds the last two days. In just a moment I am off to the gym this morning because I am driving to Kingsland, TX today to go to a Bachelorette party.






I am BEYOND excited about it. First of all as I mentioned in a previous post about my favorite coffee mug Chris and I went to Kingsland to a B&B called Antlers for our Honeymoon. We will only be about a mile down lake LBJ this weekend. AWWWW memories.

Plus I get to be with my cousins.



YEAH WE ARE HOT! 
This is usually what happens when we all get together.




My main concern is that I will gain 10 pounds this weekend. I plan to go to the gym beforehand like I said and hopefully tomorrow morning people will sleep a little late and I can get up early and go for a walk/jog. THEN I won't feel so guilty participating in a wine tasting at a vineyard. I am thinking that I won't drink any other alcohol. I haven't had a drop of alcohol or diet coke in 2 months! I don't want to ruin all the really hard work I put in just in the last few months BUT I also don't want to be "that girl" who won't have fun or let lose because she is on a "diet". I am not on a diet I am changing my lifestyle and I just have to decide what is best for me. I am going to have fun and let lose but I don't want to go crazy HOWEVER how do you go to a bachelorette party and not have too much alcohol... I think thats against Bachelorette party rules. I think my biggest challenge will be getting past it mentally that it is OK to have some sugar, fat, and alcohol during my lifetime as long as its only every once in a while and at special events. I am not going to gain 10 pounds... thats ridiculous. 




Am I going to be perfect this weekend? No but am I still making progress? YES 
Will I eat everything in sight? NO WAY I will eat smart and then save up for wine PLUS make sure I get in some physical activity. 



Another tip I saw to be sneaky and not let people know I am not drinking is to make mixed drinks with diet soda or seltzer and then omit the liquor after awhile and nobody will know... SMART. 

HERE IS TO A GOOD WEEKEND 
AND NO WORRIES OR REGRETS 

MY WEIGHT LOSS IS SUPPOSED TO BE POSITIVE NOT MAKE ME FEEL GUILTY WHEN I WANT TO INDULGE FOR A SPECIAL ONE TIME ONLY BACHELORETTE PARTY FOR MY BEAUTIFUL COUSIN!

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...

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...

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 ...
