Whole 30: Day Four

So I straight up wore some old size 16 pants that I haven't been able to wear since before I got pregnant! THAT IS TWO YEARS YALL!

I am only about 15 pounds away from being back to my pre-pregnancy weight!



WOOHOO!!!!!!!


I think some people would be surprised at how easy Whole 30 is. You may think that sounds like a lot of restrictions but really you can eat so much good food and you will never be hungry or feel deprived! I think anybody can do it for 30 days! 


Todays meals ... 

BREAKFAST: 


Last night I sauteed spinach and peppers put that in muffin tins, topped it with some diced roast beef, then cracked an egg on top added some seasonings and baked it so I could just heat it up in the morning. It was SO good. 

LUNCH: 

THIS ... THIS is why Whole 30 is so easy. HOLY COW 
Almond crusted chicken will change your life. Just take whole almonds and put them in the food processor. When they are crumbled up well you dredge your chicken tenders in egg then into the crushed almond, put them on a cookie sheet with a little coconut oil and bake until golden and SCRUMPTIOUS. I ate mine with spicy brown mustard and a side salad with the final bit of that avocado I have been eating on all week plus a few onions. 

I also made a Starbucks run and got iced coffee with coconut milk. Totally Whole 30 approved YUM

DINNER: 

Tonight I baked onions and peppers with chicken sausage and roasted sweet potatoes.

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...

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 ...
