Penance for pizza

Today is usually a pretty crap day for me. This whole week really. I thought this year it wouldn't be so bad since I have been taking medications and working out. I have been in a pretty good place. Unfortunately it hit all the same on thursday night to where I didn't want to leave for work. I made myself go even though I was scared. While I was on the way My amazing friend RJ sent me an amazing string of text messages that I really needed. I am pretty sure my sister had a hand in that, she does that stuff sometimes. Today I kept myself off the couch by doing lots of working out. Im at the fire department so I pushed myself out of my funk and got my miles done. My mom and dad brought me pizza (can't turn down the best pizza in jackson) so I broke out my fire gear and did a round of "crossfit" and 3 rounds of 30 second planks with Tom. A great round of "penance" and the pizza was worth it. My diet has been pretty suck for the last couple of days but I am trying to not be too hard on myself.

Much loves awesome peeps.

A little less facebook, a little more Drag Queens....

So today while I was doing my normal wake up/ preworkout routine. I was scrolling through facebook per the ush and I was bombarded with people selling things like IT WORKS and Shakeology. The one that finally put me over the edge was a targeted add about a starlets weight loss, the title was misleading so I clicked on it. Of course it was another add for the "miracle weight loss drug garcinea cambogia" I was obviously a little miffed I got click bated for something stupid. I left for my run and didn't get the same quiet mind time as usual, I kept ruminating on the articles. The starlet was Rebel Wilson, whom I normally find fairly inspiring. She plays yo the fact that she is bigger and embraces it. I love the fact that she promotes loving your body. Which is something I often struggle with. I am sad to see the way that media plays on insecurity to keep people fad dieting. Sadly there is no miracle its all blood, sweat, and tears. Over the years I have always struggled ...

Sometimes you need to drag yourself, even when you want to stop......

Happy Friday Loves!! I think I am gonna make this my blog day, This week I didn't make anything really different as far as food goes, but I have been better at sticking to my diet so I am almost back on track weight loss wise. I got turned onto this popcorn from vitamin shoppe... The peanut butter vanilla is to die for. Its a little pricey but so delicious. I didn't know that I needed Peanut Butter Vanilla popcorn in my life, but I'm sold on it now. Lent starts the first and I actually had to think about it this year.... I couldn't go to my old standby since I don't eat fast food, I don't drink soda... crap I will have to give up something hard LOL. I decided that this year I am giving up CHOCOLATE (ugh I may die) also no meat on Monday and Fridays. God grant me the strength to do the damn thing. Bring on the Meat substitutes!! This week I have also been pushing myself pretty hard. The weather has been gorgeous and I Just wanted to be out and runni...

Why can't I be paid like a professional athlete ?

The other night I saw an article about the importance of fitness as a public servant and how we are in fact professional athletes. I like that thought, while I would really like the pay that goes with it, I'll just use it as a personal motivator for now. As I have said before, during this last year I changed my goal from being skinny to being healthy, and earning the title of firefighter. Not just the book smarts but the real, honest title. To be that person that doesn't make the people inside scared to have me with them. To be able to pull my brother to safety if the need arises. I think that is what has brought me success this time. I have a clear goal, its a passion, not just a desire to look good in a bikini. It doesn't mean Im always perfect and I don't struggle but it does help me bring myself back in line when I stray. I don't think you all want to log in just to hear me ramble, so from now on I am going to add some recipes and show my workouts from time to...
