And here is what we ate this past week 


Spinach and salmon eggs with avocado 


Aaron squash with marinara sauce and garlic olives


Breakfast tacos on my site tortillas I scored in Shreveport before my last 5k 


Kale broccoli salad with tuna and pineapple 


Baked speckled trout and broccoli 


Blueberry eggs 


Dove poppers 


Slit the breast away from the bone


Stuff slices of jalapeño and onion in the slits 


wrap in bacon 


Bake in the oven at 350 covered in foil for 45 minutes then remove the foil and put on broil until the bacon is crispy. 


I served it with leftover kale broccoli salad that had apples, raisins, and mustard balsamic dressing 

 

I prepped buffalo chicken casserole for lunches this week 







Spicy Luau Meatballs 

Ground pork 
Jalapeno 
Unsweetened coconut flake 
Chopped/crushed pineapple 
Coconut Flour 
Egg 
Cumin 
Chili powder 
Salt 


As usual I didn't measure I just mixed it up 


Formed it into balls and baked it 


We baked up some plantains in a little coconut oil and some salt 


Then I had extra chopped jalapeño, onion, and pineapple that didn't go into the meatballs so I mixed it into our avocado to go with the meatballs. 


This meal was AWESOME!!!!




Eggplant chicken curry and pineapple 



Sardines and carrot salad - love this stuff! Just shredded carrot, pineapple, raisins, nuts, and mayo 



Shepherds pie and purple cabbage! 




I have an eggplant and some bell pepper left over from week two so I figure I will roast them up and then freeze them to thaw for a later meal. I was budgeting about $100 a week but I realized we have 5 weeks in June so I hope we make it. We may be eating toast for every meal on week 5 haha.

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 ...
