WHOLE 90!


December has arrived and I am now only three months away from my ONE YEAR mark on this journey. Can you believe I have stayed committed this long? 
I am not just saying "I want it" I am saying "I am doing it!" 

I decided that with three months left I am going to really push myself and do a Whole90. My Whole60 was EASY BREEZY and made me feel FIERCE. This Whole90 hopefully will push me to my major goal of being down 100 pounds. Christmas without sugar sounds a little scary doesn't it? 



I WILL SURVIVE! 
Cake and cookies and fudge and those awesome ginger snaps my father in law always has - they are GOOD! You know what else is good? Sweet potatoes, and bacon, and avocado, and eggs, and fruit. OH and losing 100 pounds... that's also good. 


Whole90 BREAKFAST


Banana with almond butter and cacao nibs 


Broccoli, mushrooms, aidells chicken sausage, and scrambled eggs 


Spinach, aidells chicken sausage, scrambled eggs, and a banana


Strawberries and a banana bread larabar 

Whole90 LUNCH 


Fruit, hard boiled egg, two pieces of applegate compliant turkey, pineapple, strawberries, olives, and a little apple salad 


Taco seasoned zucchini and beef with avocado, onion, and cilantro 


Fruit and my favorite egg roll bowl 


More taco zucchini beef with avocado and a That's It bar 

Whole90 DINNER 


I cooked a pork roast in the crock pot with onions, jalapeno, and salsa verde and served it with avocado and sauteed zucchini 


Leftover lamb shepherds pie with broccoli and mushrooms 



Grilled chicken with roasted rosemary potatoes and green beans 




I have my next 5k tomorrow and I am going to kill it. Doing Whole30 makes your body feel good and work right. I truly can't imagine not being Whole30. 


Today I decided to look at some old photos for continuing motivation...

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 ...
