Round 2: 1st Five Days

DAY ONE: 

Breakfast was scrambled eggs with spinach and roasted sweet potatoes 

 

Lunch was a quick snack type meal because it got late. I had some dates and pecans. 





For dinner I made steak stir fry with frozen stir fry veggies, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, and bean sprouts.

Sauteed the steak with onions, garlic, and coconut oil then added in all the veggies and seasoned. 



DAY TWO: 

I only had half a banana for breakfast this morning and some coffe! BORING

For lunch I had a roasted acorn squash filled with spinach and eggplant marinara 

For dinner I sauteed zucchini, made guacamole, and baked chicken with chipotle powder and salsa verde 


This salsa verde is whole30 approved! 

DAY THREE: 

Breakfast was SO good today. Steak with sweet potatoes, spinach, and a fried egg



For lunch I had leftovers from dinner the night before 


For dinner I made almond, coconut, curry powder crusted catfish with chili snap peas 





DAY FOUR: 

I only had coffee for breakfast today because I was getting ready for church and didn't make time to cook breakfast! 

For lunch I had sausage and roasted veggies 



For Dinner I had fig and balsamic pork with rosemary potatoes and roasted brussel sprouts 



I put a pork tenderloin in the crock pot with cut up fresh figs (plus a few dried ones I had) and about 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar and set it on low. 

After about 6 hours I added in fresh rosemary for the last hour or so just to infuse a little flavor. 

Then I sliced it up 



And it was FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC 


DAY FIVE: 

For breakfast I had leftover roasted veggies and an aidelles chicken sausage 


For lunch we went to Brookshires Fresh in Longview and I got a delicious salad, some fruit, and a guava Kombucha but I didn't take a photo because my phone was in the car. 

While we were at Brookshires I picked up some more food, plus I got a shipment of mayo and ghee 













For dinner I made the applegate sausage with peppers and onions. 





I have also gone to the gym everyday and so far I have lost any weight I gained back from the cheat days! I love the way I am feeling and can't stress enough how Whole30 has changed my life! I feel better, I look better, and I am healthy!

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 ...
