Fresh: My adventures in food and fitness shopping!


The first day Chris is off of shift is always a fun day in our house. We wake up and I make breakfast and we have a DVR marathon. This morning I made my favorite banana flax muffins. 









I decided to add blueberries this time and they were amazing. Here is the recipe just in case you're new to the blog. 

3/4 Cup whole wheat flour 
1/2 cup oats 
1/4 cup coconut sugar 
2 TBS ground flax 
1 tsp cinnamon 
1/2 tsp baking soda 
1 tsp baking powder 
1/4 tsp salt 
1 egg 
2 1/2 TBS coconut oil 
1/4 tsp vanilla 
1 mashed banana 
1/2 cup almond milk 
(optional mix ins: chopped pecans and blueberries) 


























I've been so inspired by the health and fitness posts on Instagram that after breakfast I decided I needed to take a trip to Tyler and hit up Brookshire's Fresh.


We decided to eat lunch there as well since just like whole foods they have a huge chef prepared section and salad bar area.





















It was so delicious! I could eat there everyday. Chris determined we had to move to Tyler and I agree!






When all of this produce is so gorgeous its hard not to crave fruit and veggies! I love this place. That meat that my husband is holding is Wagyu and... its was $280! Needless to say he admired it and then we walked away. Here is what I ended up taking home. 



After the grocery we headed to Academy and of course I was sucked in by the clothing and shoes. 
I have been drooling over these asics and decided I wanted them so bad I would use them as a motivational reward. 



CRAZY FREAKING CUTE 

So I will purchase these shoes when I lose 40 pounds! (all my pregnancy weight) 

I couldn't go home completely empty handed though. I did need some new socks and yoga pants and of course this hat and shirt. 






 When we finally got home I couldn't wait to try my Mate and Guajillo Chocolate. 


Perfect ending to an amzing day!

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 ...
