CHEATING IS BAD! {F.A.F.H Vlog #6}

Fitness Athlete Fighting Hypothyroidism Vlog #6

Do you guys agree or disagree with cheat meals?
id like to know your input!




I have Hashimotos Hypothyroidism. I was diagnosed in 2011.
Having this disease and trying to be fit (like NPC fit..) has its challenges!

My thyroid has been really off (find that video here https://youtu.be/rrgm9i-D9pE).

So i decided to start a vlogging series documenting my routine and struggles to become a fitness athlete!

I AM GOING VEGAN!

This post is about my diet change and me going Vegan.

If you are strongly opposed to Veganism, exit this post now :)

Look at Veganism with an open mind, an open heart to the animals, and the FACTS.

YOU came to this post on your own free will....

opposing opinions not welcome.

I am doing my research on my own. But thanks anyway :))

Moving on.

I came across a youtube channel by a girl who goes by the name "Freelee the Banana Girl".

Her way of life just made SENSE to me.

The animal cruelly was just too much to bare. 

I IMMEDIATELY made the decision to switch.

Watch the video for full explanation!

This is my 3 day transformation of cutting out dairy and going 80% meatless.
HUGE difference. I felt less bloated and nasty!

My next video will be about my actual transition.

My struggles.

And my advice on where to start :)

I truly hope you decide to make the switch!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

If you aren't convinced, watch this video!

its long. but watch the WHOLE thing when you have a chance!

IF ITS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOUR EYES,

WHY IS IT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOUR MOUTH TO EAT??

Whats Your REASON?

We've all seen "THE PICTURE"

The pic that rocked everyone's world cuz a fit mom took a pic with her kids.

here ill ring some bells.

For the record, i love Marias pic and her message. She meant it in a positive way, to be an example.

Everyone is all bent out of shape cuz she should have "worded it differently".

i say, she worded it perfectly.

Those who got mad, are getting mad at the wrong person,

Moving on.

Well i say..

Whats Your REASON for being healthy!

My reasons are my kids and my disorder.

I want to be a good example for them. I want to be FIT because of them, not "ruined" because of them.

How horrible does that sound to blame our bodies on our kids?

And my hypothyroidism. I want to be able to say SUCK IT thyroid!

I WIN!

:))

So find YOUR reason… and accomplish your goals :)

RESULTS {6 Week Body Challenge}

So we started this challenge on August 1st!

I told you in THIS post that my goal was to lose body fat!

So here we are, 6 weeks later, time to show results!

I SWEAR to you, i dont mean this is a cocky self righteous way... but i SWEAR, my purpose in life is to be a leader and example of the HARD things in life.

The worst case scenario type stuff.

{shaking my head}

I was nervous to take these pictures cuz well..

ive only lost ONE pound in 6 weeks.

If you've been following all my posts, you've seen all my hard work. That ive been using fitness pal, counting cals, eating clean ish (not 100%). Working out, etc etc.

Ive also explained that i battle swelling from my tummy tuck in April, and Hashimotos Hypothyroidism. When i started this challenge, i was just given a higher dose of medication cuz my thyroid is off. It takes 6 weeks for the medication dose to fully take effect...

**So HERE WE ARE, 6 weeks later.. no weight loss. Except 2 days ago, i finally lost ONE pound.

So yes. i was nervous.

But i took my "after" Photos..

and THIS is why... you can't focus of the scale.

as you can see.. there is a bigger space between my arms and hips but my hands are in the same spot. Love handle slimming.... ill take it!

this pic KILLS me!

This is about a 10 weeks difference... but WOW!

i didnt think it EVER possible to build my arms!

Ab definition.

Abs are made in the kitchen! Remember??

MAJOR back fat loss.

That was my MAIN goal :))

No makeup... had to cover face haha

This 6 week challenge is over..
but remember... a healthy body is a LIFESTYLE, not a short term goal!

Keep being healthy continue pushing your limits!
If you participated in this challenge, link your post in my comments so i can come see how you did!


Set your mind.
Set your goals.
Make it happen.
:)

What I Ate Today {My Fitness Pal}

If you dont have the app "my fitness pal".. you should get it.

Even if you arent counting calories... it really opens up your mind to what you are ACTUALLY putting in your body as far as carbs, protein, sodium, all the hidden stuff.

Its even interesting to count calories when you THINK you're eating well.

Anyway. So this is what i typically eat in a day.

Im on a 12oo calorie limit.

and my goal is to eat as clean as possible.

But clearly im not a saint haha.

i couldnt resist the pie.

i had to eat it on the day i had to confess my sins on the internet.

fail.

Fitness pal is great.

You put in your goal, and it tells you how to eat!

Woot woot!

Eating Healthy on a Budget!

Im so sorry im slacking on my blog posts!

Better late then never though right!?

Ok, so one of the BIGGEST myths... is that eating healthy is more expensive then eating bad.

{STOP THE EXCUSES!}

But if you legit believe that... i am going to help bust this myth :))

First of all.... sit down and really check your receipts, bank accounts, etc... and add up the amount of money you spend on eating out, hitting the fast food places, etc etc.

It will shock you.

You gotta stop that!

Every once in a while is ok, but we go out way more then we think we do!

and it all adds up!

2nd of all.... WALMART always tends to be cheapest.

Ok lets move on.

----------------------------------------------------------------

So basic foods we buy to be healthy....

*Chicken

*Hamburger

*Pork

*Fish

*Veggies

*Fruits

*Whole wheat bread

*Nuts {optional}

Now meat can be pricey. But regardless if we are eating bad or good, meat tends to be a staple food that we HAVE to buy. So i wont be comparing meats.

But one thing i will say, is bulk bags of frozen chicken 

is a way cheaper deal then the packaged cuts!

Bad foods........

Good foods............

So in actuality.. if you times each meal eating out, by how many people in your family... you're spending up to $40 or more! Or at fast food, You're spending $20 or more for ONE meal. Where a meal with chicken, veggies, and a light carb, you spend more like $10 or less when you divide out how many servings of an item you bought in bulk divides out to be!

The other night... we had spaghetti squash {$5.00} a can of tomato sauce on top {1.00} and that was it! a $6.00 meal for a family of 4! (yes Baiden had some, and i think we all had 2nds!) Adding in meat is an option as well!

----------------------------------------

So now that this myth is busted...

go my friends... buy good foods! they aren't more expensive!

This was in my last post.. but ill post again!
