Whole30 Round Two!

Well my five day eat whatever I want break was actually not as great as I thought it would be. My stomach hurt. I felt overly full when I ate dairy and grains. I had gas pain. AND strangely I missed fruits and veggies. Whole30 really changed me. I had a chocolate chip cookie and took one bite and gave the rest to Chris because I thought it was gross. I had my moms banoffee pie and it was DELICIOUS, that I did love, but it was RICH and after I ate a huge piece my belly hurt. When we went hiking on our trip we brought trail mix and apples and seriously the best thing I ate over the five days was probably that giant green apple!









And being active and going on a 6 mile hike followed by canoeing was so much fun! I know that about  four months ago I wouldn't have been able to spend a whole day hiking and canoeing without dying! 

I did gain some weight from my five days



Obviously I am not going to let a little weight gain depress me, because it also taught me that the food I eat totally makes me feel different. I am really glad that I was able to experience how eating "regular" food made my body feel because it really made me see that the foods I was eating before, that I thought were so good, weren't! 

So I am actually REALLY excited to go back on Whole30 foods

LETS GET IT!

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.

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 ...
