Whole 30: Day Three

I always seem to feel so much more energetic the day after I do my runs. This morning with the rain I was pretty sleepy but I definitely had more physical energy to get through the day. I started with my coffee with coconut milk while I got ready for work.


BREAKFAST:


Tried cashew cookie larabar for the first time and it was really good! The first Sweet Beet Suja I had was GROSS to me haha but I'm actually starting to like it. 

LUNCH: 


I had a bun-less burger with a 1/4 of an avocado and two carrots, plus a side of grapes and green apples. 

DINNER: 


One of my favorite salads ever is PERFECT on Whole 30. Spinach with blueberries, strawberries, avocado, grilled chicken, and pecans. Usually I put cheese with it but it definitely has so much going on that you don't even miss the cheese. I usually make a honey lime vinaigrette but of course I can't have honey so instead.... 


I made a balsamic and brown mustard dressing. It worked SO well and was absolutely delicious. 


What's funny is I don't even feel like I am restricted. I could probably live on meat and avocado. The only thing is you really have to cook almost every meal so you have to meal prep like crazy. Tonight while I was making dinner I was also making breakfast and my lunch for tomorrow because both had to be cooked and baked. It does make for lots of kitchen messes and piles of tupperware.

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 ...
