BOOM!



I DID IT! 30 days 
- no sugar (well except for the four iced coffees I got that had hidden sugar in them... thanks starbucks) 
-no grains 
- no dairy (except once I had fajitas in Austin that I am sure were cooked in butter) 

DAY 30 MEALS 

 Breakfast I made fauxtmeal 


I ground almonds 


toasted them with coconut flakes 


added cinnamon and raisins 


 and then added mashed banana and coconut milk. It was so good!  Even Emma ate like half of it. 



Lunch was truly the best thing ever. I made chicken salad. 
I baked a chicken breast with chipotle powder. 



Diced mango, avocado, onion, and serrano


Mixed it with the diced chicken and lime juice. 
WHOA AMAZING 



With a coconut la croix it truly tasted like I was in the Caribbean 



Dinner 



I made chipotle lime salmon with coconut curry snap peas and carrots. 

I didn't take a photo of the final plate because I was hungry and ate it before I remembered 

DAY 31 MEALS
Breakfast was roasted sweet potatoes, baked prosciutto egg cups, and strawberries and pineapple 



Perfectly cooked runny yolk! 

Lunch was curried tuna salad 

1 can of tuna
2 boiled eggs 
1/4 of onion chopped 

(the rest I didn't really measure I just mixed to taste) 
mustard 
curry powder 
cayenne 
raisins 
pepitas 

Mix it all up and serve over lettuce. 

Dinner was baked ribs and roasted brussel sprouts 



I baked the ribs at 250 for two hours uncovered, then topped them with barbecue sauce and covered the dish with foil and baked an additional two hours. 

The whole 30 BBQ sauce 

You can find an actual recipe online
Here is one thats got a lot of ingredients 
Here is one with just two ingredients (I started with this and then opted to add the extras below)

I just mixed mine to taste with things in the pantry  

Organic tomato paste 
Organic balsamic 
Organic tomato sauce 
spices (I used a blend of a bunch of stuff but mostly chipotle powder) 
Mustard 
Organic apple fig baby puree pouch (sounds weird but since you can only use fruit to sweeten I promise it is worth it) 

I recommend you make the sauce ahead of time because it gets better the longer it sits in the fridge.

FITSPO

Image
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.

Image
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 ...
