Scrumptiousness

A few delicious recipe shares.

The other day I had a 12 hour work day and I knew I would need to have something in the crock pot for when I got home. I did chipotle pork. I pureed a can of chipotles in adobo and put that in the crock pot with one can of diet coke and a pork loin. Set it to low and let it cook 12 hours. MMM

It made a TON so I had leftovers and last night I had pork tostadas.



Corn tortillas baked in the oven topped with chipotle pork, coleslaw mix, fresh onion, avocado, non fat greek yogurt, and then extra chipotle pork juice. It was seriously AMAZING.

This morning I made pumpkin pie overnight oats thanks to pinterest and it was FABULOUS.

Oats
almond milk
pumpkin puree
ginger
nutmeg
cinnamon
splenda
chia seeds

Mix ingredients together - amounts to your taste- put in a jar and stick in the fridge overnight. In the morning stick in the microwave for 2-3 minutes. Optionally top with nuts and honey or syrup

For lunch I was inspired by hungry girl AGAIN and made a pizza bagel. I used a 100 calorie whole wheat bagel thin and put 15 turkey pepperoni on top of one slice and then sliced up a piece of string cheese. I added this to the top of the pepperoni. Put the bagel top on and microwave for about 30 seconds. Dip in a low calorie marinara and ENJOY. Under 300 calories and so tasty. Definitely satisfies the craving for pizza

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 ...
