Day 1

When I woke up this morning it felt like Christmas. I was really excited that today was the first day to really focus on a better lifestyle and change myself. During the cleanse phase you take a fiber supplement powder and this aint no metamucil it's like hardcore weird nasty something. It looks like I took dead grass from my yard and ground it up. I read from other advocare people that the fiber drink was not great and to just down it quickly.


Today at church we had a fundraiser luncheon so I went prepared and brought my blender bottle and meal shake plus a banana for my mid morning snack. 


After church I had another spark on my way to Walmart to get some things before heading to the gym. Today was my first time trying Watermelon Spark and it was real good! 



After my workout I had half a larabar and some grapes. 


I took a screen shot of my advocare rep and motivators facebook status today. I hope that I am in the same place she is now in the next year. 


(The text message at the top of the page was from my sweet student who was excited about my advocare journey too!)




Tonight's dinner: Chicken, whole wheat penne with organic natural marinara, and roasted broccoli.




You take an Omega supplement (fish oil) with dinner and then before bed an herbal cleanse supplement which is a special blend of vitamins, minerals, and herbs. This supplement is supposed to help with digestion.




SO day one is done!

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 ...
