Day 5



Nothing exciting or new about todays typical menu and routine. 

I did have a horrible end to my day and chose to come home after rehearsals instead of going to the gym. I had to pack for our High School Choir trip and wanted to see my hubby before he went to work tonight.

Tomorrow I head off to Dallas for four days with our students and while there we are going to 
1. a food truck park 
2. spaghetti warehouse
3. cheesecake factory 
4. dave and busters 
5. six flags 
6. a pizza party 

UGH MY LIFE!








I have packed bars, shakes, nuts, and oranges plus my supplements. I also looked at the menus to see what I could find that would work with my diet and think I will be ok. I packed gym clothes if there is time and Im not exhausted at the end of the day. I am going to try to focus on other aspects of the trip rather than the food. Typically when I go on vacation thats my favorite part of planning the trip "WHERE WE GONNA EAT?" I know I won't cheat but will I let myself be really depressed about it? NO 





"Scientists have conducted a research on whether you can train yourself into craving healthier foods. Their test subjects showed positive results where, after a couple of months, they were craving healthy greens. The sole reason we have unhealthy cravings is that since we were children our elders would give us candies and chocolates for good behaviour. When we feel under the weather we treat ourselves to chocolate so we have been feeding this unhealthy habit. We need to condition our brain into thinking healthy foods as a reward."
I CAN DO THIS

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 ...
