I can!


I looked back at my old blog posts and totally inspired myself to be the old Johanna from 2012.




 I seemed to have the healthy lifestyle down. The last two weeks I have really made an effort to make better food choices and I tried to make time to walk with Emma. (Ill be honest its been twice.) It's really crazy but I have already lost 8 pounds in just two weeks - and that included Memorial Day weekend where I didn't really make any healthy choices. It's obvious to me that even though losing the amount of weight I want to lose will take a long time, I clearly know the tools it takes to lose weight and frankly its not hard per say it just takes a lot of self motivation and some planning. As I said in my previous post I want to focus on eating things I want my child to eat and focus on teaching her a healthy lifestyle where she can be active and happy.

Today for lunch we had the banana and egg pancakes you've most likely seen all over pinterest. It's super easy. Mash one banana and mix in two eggs.

I had been wanting to try it and I had one lone ripe banana on my counter. 
I got five pancakes out of my mix and fed one to Emma. 






I topped it with 1 tbs of lite syrup 



For under 300 calories it was really good. It tastes more like french toast since its mostly an egg base, but if you love french toast then you'll love these pancakes. Not to mention if you have any allergy or dietary restrictions its gluten and dairy free.

FITSPO

Image
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 ...
