Fit Girl in the Making!

I only have a couple of weeks left on this 90 days of Whole30. I decided I will be going to day 100. That is the day of the Warrior Dash. 100 days of Whole30 clean healthy eating!!!! The day of the Warrior Dash I am going to be wearing a shirt that says "Fit Girl in the Making!" and I am stoked. I finally am reaching my goals and I truly know it is because of Whole30. After the dash you get a beer and I am going to drink it for sure!!! My 100 days and 1 year fit journey reward. 

Since my last post here are the foods I have been eating. 


Allspice seasoned baked chicken drums with broccoli kale slaw and plantain chips


Parsnips, rutabagas, and sausage bake 


Green chili pork, pineapple, avocado, and plantain tastiness 


Leftover pork with tessemaes bbq sauce over a sweet potato 





Shredded chicken with homemade ancho chili enchilada sauce mixed with peppers and onions and cauliflower and baked. Top with avocado, onion, lettuce, and olives. SO GOOD 




I made broccoli salad and my mom brought fruit for a church luncheon. I just mixed broccoli slaw, kale salad, chicken breast, raisins, pecans, and  the dressing was mustard with vinegar and curry powder. SO YUMM 



Roasted potatoes and onions with chorizo and shrimp! (MAKE THIS) 


Bullet proof coffee with sausage and eggs! 


Buffalo chicken casserole with avocado. THIS STUFF FOR REAL you should try it


Plantains and sausage 


Leftover chicken cauliflower enchilada bake with pineapple and plantains



This week we went to San Antonio. Originally my Whole30 partner in crime and I thought "we don't want to Whole30 at TMEA!!!" BUT we decided it would be fine and we could find good food. WE WERE SO RIGHT. Whole30 at TMEA is completely easy and WONDERFUL.



I packed epic bars, bananas, and almond butter for breakfast 




For lunch I planned doing a bunless bison burger at the Republic of Texas 



We got guacamole and steamed veggies. SO GOOD 


Music session treats. Iced Americano and a That's It bar. 


We even made time to hit the gym on Thursday and Friday!!! 





If you eat on the river ever PLEASE eat breakfast at Las Canarias. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! 
It was seriously the most delicious and amazing breakfast ever. They obviously cook fresh. They make their own chorizo so I asked and it was Whole30 compliant. WOOOO They used cage free eggs and had the most amazing fresh pico de gallo. The fruit was fresh and yummy. AND their coffee was STRONG and off the chain. I will eat here EVERY year. TMEA AND TCDA this is a new tradition for sure. 




Because we had a huge breakfast and were going to eat steak for dinner we decided to do a "snack" lunch. I had ants on a log and an epic bar. 


Friday night we went to Texas Land and Cattle - Steak, baked sweet potato, and grilled asparagus 


Saturday morning we had an 8am session and woke up late. So I bars for breakfast during the session!


For lunch we ran to Whole Food on our way out of town. I had the salad bar and a kombucha! 



Whole30 is getting easier and easier. It's just how I eat. It's not something I have to think hard about. It is not impossible to eat Whole30 on vacation. The best part we didn't feel deprived. We ate YUMMY food every meal. We had a great time and never felt deprived. We missed Hot Joy a little bit. I mean crab fat wings.... BUT instead we had steak, chorizo, veggies, fruit, eggs, salad, and I LOST WEIGHT thanks to it.  Probably the first time I lost weight at TMEA. 

So the countdown is now at 102 pounds gone. 38 pounds to go!!!

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 ...
