Whole 30: Day Nine

Totally not food related - I have hit a gym slump. I used to get excited about the gym but right now I am just tired and not excited about it. I don't know if it's because its the end of the school year and I just want to get home or what the deal is. I still went to the gym yesterday and today, but I wasn't thrilled about it. I am hoping to get over that because I know I always feel good after working out and I want to love going to the gym.



NOW - Today's Meals


BREAKFAST:


Not the best photo but it was really good. I made a breakfast casserole with ground antelope, sauteed kale and onions, and roasted potatoes. I baked it then cut it into four pieces for Chris and my breakfast a couple times this week. It's not the best for eating while driving to work though so I may have to make time to eat at home before I drive to work. 

LUNCH: 

I had leftover egg roll bowl, some roasted sweet potatoes, roasted broccoli, and some almond stuffed olives. 

DINNER: 


Yet again another reason you can go Whole 30. This is turkey stuffed mini peppers with avocado salad. 

- mini peppers with top removed and seeds taken out 
- organic ground turkey 
- 1 organic cage free egg 
- organic whole 30 approved salsa 
- crushed almonds (to mimic the bread crumbs) 
- seasoning of choice 

Mix your turkey, eggs, salsa, seasoning and almonds together and stuff into the peppers. Place on a coconut oil greased baking sheet and bake at 405 degrees for about 20-30 minutes. I had a lot of turkey leftover so I made 2 burger patties and baked those on the same sheet for our lunch tomorrow. 





The almonds give the peppers some crunch and good flavor. This is probably a new favorite meal.

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 ...
