Totally Awesome

I finished my full thirty day round on Tuesday!


I am currently THREE pounds away from my big goal. I will be 80 pounds down from my highest weight and I will weigh less than I have weighed in the past 17 years. HANG ON let that sink in......
SEVENTEEN YEARS!

For seventeen years I have been morbidly obese. It took me my whole teenage life and my twenties to realize that being healthy is important as we get older. It took having a child to raise and teach to make me change, and now that I have consistently been making those changes for the past eight months it has become a habit and my new lifestyle. I never want to go back to being unhealthy. I have two beautiful little toddler eyes watching and learning from me and that is motivation to set a good example.



So I am continuing my whole30 until Thanksgiving. I decided since Thanksgiving is going to be full of family and food and I don't want to feel bad about eating pie or cornbread dressing I am going to eat super clean and healthy up until our family trip to Caddo Lake for Thanksgiving and then afterwards I will go back on whole30. 

I haven't hit my 80 pound goal, but I know my next major goal will be 100 pounds! I never thought I would be able to say "I lost 100 pounds" that seemed impossible. Turns out it's not.

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 t

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

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
