Whole 30: Day Two

This morning I decided it would be a good idea to have coffee with some coconut milk for my morning caffeine since I can't do Spark right now. Thankfully it seemed to help me quite a bit and it tasted really good!

BREAKFAST:

For some reason the hard boiled eggs made me kind of gaggy this morning. I only ate one and saved the other for lunch. The Mango Magic Suja is probably my favorite, and sometimes I add cayenne to it which is REALLY good. 

LUNCH: 


Today was chopped romaine with tuna salad on top. It was a can of tuna, onion, snap peas, hard boiled egg, and brown mustard (read labels some mustard is more than mustard seed and vinegar). Then I added 1/4 of an avocado and had a side of strawberries.

DINNER:
This morning I put a pork roast in the crock pot with a jar of chipotle and habanero salsa. AGAIN read your salsa labels because you want to find something pretty straight forward with just tomatoes, peppers, and onions. I was surprised by how many had sugar or other additives. I used Kroger private selection brand and it had a good ingredient list!

I served it over roasted sweet potatoes and topped it with green onion. It was PHENOMENAL!

I also jogged today, and after not doing it for four days I really had to force myself to do it. Mostly I was scared I couldn't do today's circuit which was jog 5 min walk 3 min jog 6 min walk 3 min jog 5 min. I truly thought at one point I might be having a heart attack! THANKFULLY I did not.



So far these two months have been nothing but rewarding so I keep trying to motivate myself and think if I can do it just one month at a time eventually I will hit a year and imagine where I can be!

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 ...
