Fitspiration

I made a resolution to myself to lose at least a certain amount of weight and to be more healthy. I'm on my way but sometimes a little inspiration and motivation is helpful.

I saw this great pin floating around on pinterest. It was from Good Housekeeping, it’s a great resource on how to roast vegetables.

I agree that the roasting concentrates the flavor, and it’s one of my favorite ways to eat vegetables.

I updated the chart a little by adding a few more in, and I also changed some of the seasoning combinations.  I realize that some people think that tomatoes are a fruit, but I like to slow roast them.

Maybe when the weather is warmer, I’ll put together a how to on grilling fruits & vegetables.

I hope this is helpful.

Important post! I’ve been roasting vegetables a lot lately and I always have to google this info. Thanks!

Not sure if anyone out there has brain farts with roasting like I do, but this sheet is SUPER helpful. I always want to roast more veggies but I fear it because I’ve had a couple fails. Guess it doesn’t help that I have a vintage beefy oven and the roaster is separate from the oven and super strong…

Dove hired a forensic artist to draw how women see themselves versus how others see them - the results are moving.

This is such an awesome idea! I would love to see these sketches up close!

the-healthy-princess: My dashboard is FULL of posts about peoples weight. Why?  I decided I should weigh myself throughout the day to show just how silly gaging all your success based on the scale can be. If what the scale said directly correlated to how I felt about my body I would be on a constant emotional roller coaster. (It’s also good to know I weighed the most after a workout) Girls please stop, stop judging your self worth off a number.

Advertising’s image of women. Watch this and get your mind blown. 

This needs to stop.

I am not female but I really don’t think that matters. EVERYONE needs to see this.

Hey! I found your blog a few days ago and its fantastic, I love that you aren't promoting punishment. You rock. That being said, I was thinking about trying the Insanity DVDs and I was wondering what your experience with them has been? I'm pretty fit and a workout on a daily basis, i just want to become stronger (my boyfriend is 6ft 4 and a wrestling match lasts with him .001 of a second, I need to put up more of a fight!haha) AnywYs any help would be great :)

Hi there and thanks. :D

I’ve done Insanity 1 & 8/9 times (I was so burnt out from exercising heavily for many months that I quit before the last week, sucks for me) and I hate it but I love it. I love that it’s all doable moves just using your own bodyweight, I love the time bar thing at the bottom of the screen so you know how much longer you have for the move/set/whole video, I love that he explains the new moves, I love that he tells you to push yourself but if you need a break then please take a break, I love that sometimes some professionals need to take a break before I do so I can feel like a badass before it’s my turn for a waterbreak. ;) I love that there’s a fit test that you do every two weeks, because even when I didn’t feel like I was doing much better, I’d do the fit test and my scores would all improve from the previous time. The first time I did Insanity, I could not do an unmodified push-up to start with, and by the end I could do a bunch before needing a break, so it was awesome. I’m not sure how much it would help with wrestling boyfriends, but I noticed my endurance in general improved. 

I will say, every time I’ve started Insanity or done the cardio video out of context, my calves will kill me the next few days. I usually push through with my exercising, and warming up/exercising makes it hurt less, but ouch. I forget which body part my friend said was killing her (and she says she can’t either) but I remember it wasn’t her calves. 

So yeah. I haven’t tried that many workout videos yet, mostly a handful of Jillian Michaels and then this, and I preferred Shaun T/BeachBody’s video style, I think. Hope my babble helped somewhat. :)

Arnold Schwarzenegger did an AMA on reddit the other day. These are some of his answers that I liked or thought was informative. 

This is super awesome.

Reblogging because of his Oly lifting numbers… Who knew?

I thought the comment about having pictures of half naked and oiled up men on his wall was funny. 

He likes to deadlift…

semperxeadem: fitter-than-before: skinnyfitandsexy: jojoworksout: skinny-alcoholic: jojoworksout: Wow, this is thought provoking. Okay this might seem random, but you know what pisses me off: When men (I’m not talking about all men, just men I’ve heard say it) look at pictures of stick thin models and say, “Ew, I like curves on a woman! Bones are for dogs!” blah blah blah blah. But by curves they mean “a tiny waist and toned legs but a huge ass and boobs”. It is so much easier to just exercise yourself down to a thin/toned body than it is to have a giant ass and boobs AND a tight tummy. They think they’re being progressive by saying Kate Upton is more attractive than Keira Knightley and they’re not. They’re not not not. It’s just promoting another equally unattainable beauty standard. >80 AGREED, 100% seriously !! ^^^^ ^^ god bless this,  Also, I’m sorry, but why the eff am I working out/basing my ideal weight on what this man dreams about at night?

lucyknisley: Sketchbook comic. Sometimes I do stuff just because I think it would make a funny or interesting comic. Sometimes I do stuff for free food.  If you’re wondering, those are ACTUALLY the categories of foods we tasted tonight when I volunteered. For HEALTHY FOOD AWARDS. But hey, if you wanna eat delicious junk, eat delicious junk. I think it’s better than eating crazy chemicalized “health” junk that is junk that also tastes bad and fake, because eating bad-tasting things is definitely unhealthy. Or, hey, eat real food that is delicious and also healthy. Even if it’s butter.
