Change your life!



I am 22 days into my third round of Whole30 and I feel great! I have several people asking me about the program and telling me they are going to do a round and that is so exciting. I love being motivation to others to think about their food. 

The creator of Whole30 Melissa Hartwig this week actually posted TWO comments to me on Instagram. SO FYI I am legit. #winning 



I am officially down 91 pounds and CRUSHING it. 

In the past the idea of doing Whole30 during Christmas would have sounded insane. Fudge, pie, cookies, ginger snaps, hot cocoa, and peppermint mochas OHHHH! At the beginning of October I was posting about eating Waffles in November. I never did that and I actually don't want a waffle anytime soon. I tried the paleo pie and even unrefined natural sugars were too much temptation for me. Whole30 isn't intended to be 365 but I will say the more you eat this way and you see how your body reacts to eating right it becomes an addiction. You get used to not having sugar and I truly believe that is a HUGE deal in how our brains and bodies work. In my opinion no sugar is the key to changing your eating habits into a lifestyle. 



So think of sugar like this 



Will I never eat sugar again? No that is probably not realistic. I will always love sweets, but right now I know that I don't have my cravings all the way in control and I want to be in control of my choices and not spiral into a decadent cinnamon roll covered death. 

Whole30 makes me feel like I have control and I can eat without any worry. I am eating real food that is healthy for me and will ultimately help me reach my goals. I never go hungry. I eat food that I love. If you eat real food instead of sugar free, low fat, processed off the shelf crap I promise you that your body will respond and you will be healthy and get the weight off. 
LISTEN ONE MORE TIME: Whole30 will change your life. 

Here is are my latest Whole30 meals for inspiration



My go to egg roll bowl! 


Turned leftover dinner into breakfast by adding eggs! 


One dish meal. I baked some green beans, onions, and compliant sausage

I am a Kombucha freak for life. OMG I love it so much

Give yourself 30 days of commitment to this and you will be changed.

Go past the first week - you will survive!

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 ...
