Tonight we're going to make a first attempt at NomNomPaleos cracklin' chicken, which I'm super excited about. I don't have a splash guard, so I'm nervous for that. And we're going to have mashed potatoes, with real potatoes, gasp I know.
And can I just take a moment to talk about Applegate hot dogs. Holy sausage. I sliced up some of these and sauteed them in ghee. Game.Changer. That was some delicious f'ing hot dog right there. YUM. I can't wait for lunch so I can eat what I didn't sneak from the pan last night.
Also, I really loved the intro paragraphs in this blog post. I feel the same way. I would never want anyone to think that becuase I'm eating a certain way, I think they should eat that way. Whole30 is so personal. Despite how much I talk about it and a slight obsession, it's still for me, and I have no opinon on what's right and wrong. Of course I still tell people about it because I love to share how much better I feel. But that might not be right for other people to feel their best! Health should totally be up to each individuals heart. You definitely can't force anyone to change their eating habits. Food is a huge part of our lives, even more so than most people realize. If you would have told me 5 or even 2 years ago I would be eating like this, I would laugh at you. I didn't want it, and I wasn't ready. Every one is writing their own book, and they can write it however they want:)
This, this, THIS from the post, is one of the hugest things I wanted to and have accomplished:
"I learned to think of meals as fuel-ups rather than happy dances on my tastebuds. I get my happy from other things, so even though I don’t relish my breakfast, after I eat a couple of eggs and a plate of vegetables, I feel good so I don’t really care that much."
That's something that J has always struggled with on this health journey. It makes him sad a little that he sees how happy ice cream makes me, why can't I just have it, since it gives me joy? And that's totally valid. But it's so much deeper than that. I get way more joy from editing wedding footage, or laughing until I cry with friends, or watching Parks and Rec on Netflix. So why wouldn't I learn to just rely on that joy to fill my cup, rather than the quick and dirty joy I get from ice cream? It's a great awakening, and I really am loving it.
The workout today was BADASS. I usually prefer a little more cardio, but it was still a good time:
10 mins treadmill, 3 min walk 5% incline, 2 min jog 5% incline, 5 min run 3% incline
15 kettle bell half swings
5 goblet presses with kettle bell
3 push ups (I can't believe I can do normal pushups now!!!)
(x20)
...yes that's right. X20. B***** aint shit ya'll
100 TRX push up
100 TRX rows (50 elbows out and 50 elbows in)
Alternate however you want, I did 20 of each back and forth
8 kettle bell front squats
Down and back farmer walk with kettle bells
(x8) no dropping kettle bells, this killed
30 squats (only to even out the pain in my arms, but my abs were sore from the week anyway. I just love working out)
Party on!
