Day Three

We are on day three... they say it takes about 21 to create a habit. Maybe it is less when you're only three???? She keeps asking for toast ... so today we ate a lot of pickles to distract from the bread  ðŸ˜‚

Last night we had steak kabobs and fries.


I love when they have reduced produce bags! I got four bell peppers for $1 
These sirloin pieces were on managers special for $7 


We stuck our feet in the pool while daddy grilled! 


I gave her a TON of steak and potatoes and she ate EVERY bite! This will be a go to meal I guess 



I think she is more inclined to eat everything when she knows that were all eating the same meal! I also have been making sure she is helping and watching while we prepare and cook meals.






This morning for breakfast we had leftover banana muffins and strawberries and cantaloupe. 
For lunch we had a random modge podge

 



Larabar crunchy seed and nut bar in almond cacao


Lunch Day 3: Applegate pepperoni, hard boiled egg, larabar, and potato chips! 









A number of pre made seasoning blends are actually not as simple as you would expect. This one from trader joes is REALLY good and it is whole30/paleo 


This weber seasoning is also whole30/paleo but not all of them are so read the label

Tonight I made chicken nuggets - dredge your chicken pieces in egg and then almond flour 

Put on a coconut oil greased cookie sheet and bake at 380 for about 35-40 minutes

I made maple mustard sauce for Emma to dip the chicken nuggets in but I watched and the only thing dipped were fingers... 

Crispy baked perfection 

Dinner Day 3: Green beans, chicken nuggets, and sweet potato fries. She ate every bite

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 ...
