CANCUN!

I had the most fabulous and wonderful vacation at my cousins wedding in Cancun.








I did a good job staying on track for the most part. 

I worked out twice once at the gym and then I did water aerobics. I could have done more but Saturday I decided to rest and sleep in a little since I had to sing that night. 

Food wise I would say I did pretty well they didn't have a whole lot of bad food but I did eat dessert because they just had huge buffets and I was on Vacation so Im eating some chocolate cake yo. 

I didn't take photos of everything because I was too busy eating and swimming and having fun but I did try to take a few 

Everyday for lunch and breakfast we ate at a buffet. 
This day I had cabbage, zucchini and broccoli marinara, brussel sprouts, and YUMMY paella 


This day I decided to be bad and I had french toast, plantains, bacon, and chorizo eggs 

Bagel with cream cheese, smoked salmon, prosscuito, plantains, eggs, and fruit 


 I only have a picture of dinner from the first night at the Mexican restaurant. 
We had a platter of appetizers to share with the table. 

I had a FABULOUS dinner. It was poblano rice with snapper with a pepper sauce and crispy green leaf thing and red onions and cilantro. I could eat it everyday. The portion was small but that made me feel like I was being good so I didn't overeat. 



Dessert was a lemon tequila tart with lime sorbet 



I am glad I am back home and can eat normal again but DANG that was some good food and it was fun to eat so different every meal of everyday. Lots of seafood and tropical fruits and deliciousness. 


Now I gotta get back in my regular workout mode and start eating lighter again. 

Last thing I will share are my two Gwynnie Bee items that I got a ton of compliments on at the wedding. 


Here I am in the Polynesian kimono top at dinner with my cousin Sara.
 I loved this top, it was silky and comfortable and really bright and pretty! 


Here I am with the bride GORGEOUS right? I loved her lace dress. This is the green cap sleeve wrap dress from Gwynnie Bee that I also really loved. 

Gwynnie Bee changed my life! 


Again I was so focused on the purpose of my trip that I didn't stress over small stuff I enjoyed myself and celebrated the union of Jessica and Carson.

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 ...
