Whole30 ON!

I think round two of Whole 30 is way easier than the first round especially since I only took 5 days off. Once you are used to not eating dairy, grains, legumes, or sugar you really don't think about them missing. In the beginning my plate seemed lacking when I didn't have a side of rice or quinoa, but now I am used to it and it makes me get a little more creative with my protein and veggies.


Day 6: 


Breakfast: Bacon, eggs, and fruit 



I found this Pendersons no sugar bacon at Brookshires Fresh and it is so good! 




Lunch: Tuna salad with tuna, muir glen salsa, and paleo kitchen mayo stuffed in half of an avocado and served with cherries and strawberries. 


Emma was even interested! 



Dinner: Sauteed kale with a little curry, cinnamon, and some raisins  


Sauteed down mushrooms and onions in some ghee 


And served it with grilled chicken 


Day 7 


Breakfast: Sausage and peppers with a fried egg 



Dinner: Burger topped with avocado salsa and roasted fingerlings


Day 8 



Breakfast was roasted veggies topped with scrambled eggs and a side of fruit 


Snack of a kombucha and green apple 

Day 9 


Breakfast was an applegate farms sausage, roasted veggies, and scrambled eggs with muir glen organic salsa


Dinner was SO amazing. I generously covered salmon with chipotle powder then some lime zest and lime juice and baked it at 350 for 30 minutes and served with simple steamed broccoli. 

Day 10 


 *EVEN IF YOU AREN'T DOING WHOLE 30 Day 10 breakfast and dinner salad is a must try for EVERYONE


MAKE THIS NOW 



Breakfast was sweet potato sausage and egg sliders 



I roasted sweet potato rounds the day before with cinnamon and chipotle 



Cut one sausage in half and split it horizontally to sear on the inside too. 


Scramble an egg and assemble into a slider. 
THESE WILL CHANGE YOUR WHOLE LIFE 


Dinner: 

I offered to make Dinner for the fourth of July and it was great. 


This salad is EVERYTHING 

Ingredients: 
3 stalks broccoli chopped 
1 cup shredded carrot 
1 cut up green apple 
1/2 cup raisins 
1/2 cup chopped pecans 
1/2 an onion chopped into small pieces
4 pieces of extra crispy bacon chopped (I used that pendersons) 
1 cup of mayo (I used primal kitchen) 
1 tbs vinegar (I used champagne vinegar) 
curry powder and salt and pepper to taste 


Mix everything but the bacon together and let it sit for a few hours in the dressing to really meld to together and soften the veggies a little. Toss in the bacon before serving. (You could add the bacon at the beginning but it will get soft) 





I also roasted a chicken and some potatoes and made some deviled eggs 



SO DANG YUM! 

And everyone ate everything and it was so good nobody really realized they were eating Whole30!

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 ...
