The end is the beginning

I got really busy and haven't had time to blog about my 24 day results.

I have the energy to go to the gym after work and then come home and deal with a crazy toddler.

I have the energy to actually do CHIN DIPS! Im sorry say what?

I am starting to feel better and create healthy habits.

These are my before and after from March 1st to March 24th








I can definitely already see a difference in just 24 days.





 I decided to continue with these products for now.




Spark is a must, plus I got another energy nutrition mix with appetite control that tastes like coffee, and I also kept catalyst and added thermoplus. I have all of these daily.

Thermoplus:

  • Supports the body's ability to convert fat into energy*
  • Promotes a healthy metabolism*
  • Helps suppress appetite*
  • Contains oolong tea and sage extracts to support weight loss*

Catalyst:
  • Helps maintain muscle mass during exercise & weight management*
  • Aids in preserving muscle and energy levels during times of calorie restriction*
  • Helps repair & protect muscle tissue*


My daily routine looks like this

Wake up: Spark or Coffeccino, 1 thermo plus, three catalyst
Drive to work: Meal bar
Around 9/10: have a snack- usually a banana or larabar
Around 11: take three catalyst
11:30:  LUNCH - either a good healthy balanced meal or a meal shake
Around 2/3: Spark and snack
After work:  workout
Around 6: Delicious healthy dinner
Sometimes I have a larabar for dessert around 8 if I am a little hungry



This week I ordered some really cute gym shirts from Activate Apparel 




And some cute pants from Old Navy



Let's be honest working out is way more fun when you feel kind of cute! 


Next weekend there is a 5K in Marshall for the animal shelter. I am thinking of participating because I have registered for the Color Run Shreveport in May and I wouldn't mind doing one before then. I think I may be doing it alone but I plan to take the Emmster with me in our jogging stroller.


So I have been dedicated to being healthy for a whole month! TIME TO KEEP GOING

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 ...
