Summer activities and paleo foods.




I love broccoli salad. It is probably one of my favorite go to whole30/paleo meals 

I picked up some apple juice sweetened cranberries at natural grocers 



Chopped onion, sunflower seeds, cranberries, green apple, and broccoli 


With mayo, mustard, and a touch of red wine vinegar 





Almond butter and jelly tortilla wraps for the park 










I found these at natural grocers and they are really cool. They made little square sheets and they taste just like fruit roll ups. 




On Saturday I made pancakes. I mixed three bananas and 6 eggs with cinnamon and a little coconut flour. 





Pour on a griddle and top with fresh blueberries 






Emma loved them! 


For dinner we had teriyaki pineapple pork 



Top pork chops with onion, jalapeño, and fresh pineapple 


I seasoned it with shichimi togarashi but you could use anything 


Then coat it with the coconut aminos teriyaki (I didn't put the onions and peppers on Emmas pork chop) and bake at 350 for about 35-40 minutes



I served it with fried "rice" and sautéed stir fry veggies



Our Paleo/whole30 kroger haul 


I love love love smoked oysters 






Buffalo tuna and salad with ranch  


More PB&J







We have had restaurant french fries, sno cones, popcorn, a cookie, cake, and ice cream this weekend because of THREE parties. Twas a busy weekend. BUT we're going to be a balanced family. When we are home and I am in charge of what goes on the plate - it is going to be paleo. I want her to grow up eating healthy but not told that certain foods are BAD or OFF LIMITS foods. We have lots of trips and parties over the summer. She won't be 100% paleo all the time and that is ok. My main goal is to get her to eat MORE whole foods and get MORE nutrition than she was. Less processed pre packaged convenience food and more home cooked nutrition- THAT I can do.

FITSPO

Image
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.

Image
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 ...
