ONEderland!

I am officially down 83 pounds today! AND I am now in ONEderland as my mom said.



A few weeks ago I was complaining about how I was stuck in a plateau. I started changing things up and really pushing myself at the gym and I got through the plateau. Today I did .9 miles in 10 minutes. I am SO close to that 10 minute mile. I think that will make me more proud than being in ONEderland. I was supposed to do a 5k this Saturday but I forgot Emma has her Christmas photo shoot this Saturday so I can't do that one. I may be able to do the one I planned in Carthage but Emma has a Thanksgiving Kindermusik class I wanted to take her to. I can't decide if I want to miss that or the race. I am 100% sure I am doing the race for Wonderland of Lights though.


This year I also want to do another Warrior Dash.
It's in March which would mark one year on the fit journey. I started losing this weight and trying to get fit on March 1st 2015. The race is March 5th 2016 so it could be my celebration race.




17 pounds to 100! I can't believe it. I feel like I might be able to get there by the new year, but if not it's not a huge deal. I just plan to keep doing what I am doing. Working out and eating clean. It's truly NOT that hard. It becomes habit and with patience eventually you get there.

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
