Meal prep, size fourteens, and Kendra!

I haven't posted in three weeks! I have been away for choir camp and then this TCDA trip and on both occasions I went off Whole 30. At camp I actually did pretty good staying on track, but one night we got frozen yogurt with candy and the next night we had wine, pasta, bread, and cake. At TCDA I had no plan on being concerned with the health of my food so I definitely had all kinds of non whole30 compliant foods. IT WAS GLORIOUS. I gained two pounds but I definitely enjoyed my food. NOW it's time to get back on my Whole30 grind and eat good. I went to the store after the gym this morning and got chicken breasts and lots of veggies to prep my meals for this week. 


I baked off a big tray of chicken breast with a little avo oil and seasonings. 


Roasted off broccolini 

Sauteed down peppers and onions 


Then portioned it out into my tupperware. 


Cut up baked chicken with peppers and onions 


Chicken with yellow squash and zucchini 


Chicken with mushrooms pecans and broccolini 

For lunch today I had chicken with peppers and onions and half of an avocado sliced. 



If I eat well 90% of the time a few carb and sugar adventures aren't going to hurt me. I know it is unrealistic to think that I will never ever eat certain foods again but if I can balance my routine out to where I only indulge in those things very occasionally then I have something that can be maintained for life and isn't a mere 30 day diet.

ANYWAY,  THIS HAPPENED 



I put on a size 14! WHAT WHAT 

I think I lucked out on the brand but still it made me feel like all my work is paying off and was definitely a non scale victory. Thinking about it helped me push at the gym this morning too! I did 1 mile on the treadmill, 1 mile on the elliptical, and 2 miles on the bike! 
I can't wait to officially be a size 14. 


In 20 more pounds I am buying this as my big goal gift 



If buying size 14 isn't enough motivation Kendra Scott surely is!!!

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 ...
