Day 15

It's been two weeks and I want pizza... BAD.

I told my hubby yesterday I wanted pizza so bad would it be ok if I just was fat. He said no and that pizza wasn't even that good.



Of all things to quit for pizza was definitely not worth it. He is right but I was having a major craving. I was actually exceptionally hungry yesterday. Im hoping that is a sign of my metabolism going HECK YEAH! and burning more fat. It made me kind of want to carb out though.





This morning I weighed in at a total of 9 pounds gone. 



I decided to go to the gym before church this morning. It feels nice to go in the morning and get it out of the way. I ended up doing squats today and my thighs hurt so bad I shake when I am sitting and standing haha. 

Today for lunch I had my chocolate meal replacement shake and I decided to add to it a sprinkle of cinnamon and cayenne and OMG it was so good. It tasted like a mexican chocolate cookie and I want to have it that way every time. 




I am not meal prepping this week because a lot of what I planned is crock pot meals, but I did menu plan. I usually plan to cook enough for two meals so that I do have leftovers and only have to cook about half the week.

Tonight - Chicken and kale soup 
Monday - Leftover turkey burger and sweet potato fries (we had this Friday) 
Tuesday - St. Patricks day calls for lamb stew
Wednesday - Ground turkey, brussel sprout and sweet potato hash with a poached egg
Thursday - leftover kale soup 
Friday - Leftover lamb stew 
Saturday - Texas roadhouse before the high school choir formal MMMM  
Sunday - Thai chicken salad 
Monday - Turkey and spinach meatballs in marinara with whole wheat pasta 
Tuesday - Salmon with roasted broccoli 

AND THAT IS THE END OF THE 24 DAYS! 

HERE WE GO LAST 10

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...

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 ...

My Whole30 Story

Image
I started whole 30 for the first time in May 2015 , since then I have gone from 280 pounds to 146 pounds and wearing  a size 22 to a size 6. I have completely changed my life and it truly starts with food.I distinctly remember being in the first grade and being made fun of for being fat. In 5th grade a boy told me I was really pretty but too chubby to be his girlfriend. In 8th grade some girls would put magazine ads for Jenny Craig, slim fast etc on my desk. I had to shop in the women's department in JH and HS when all of the other girls wore cute juniors clothes. As a senior, shopping for a size 20 prom dress was not fun, it was painful. In college my weight went down a little after going through a bad break up and trying a zero carb fad. Even then I was still about 225 at my lowest. In 2006 I got in a serious relationship and gained it all back. We got married and again shopping for a size 20 dress was stressful. The morning of my wedding I was more stressed about fitting ...
