Is that the one where they are witch hunters and Jeremy Renner is in it? If so I keep forgetting I watch it lol

You see, that’s what I thought it was. This POS was something entirely different. I think it went straight to DVD or something.

Duane gave me a hard drive full of movies. For some god forsaken reason I decided to watch Hansel and Gretel. WORST movie I’ve seen in years. What a waste of a movie!!

Fabulous lunch. Couldn’t even get to the sweet potatoes, so I gave them to the cat. He effing loves sweet potatoes.

Such a pain.

So I didn’t go to the joint baby shower yesterday for my former coworkers. It was a little difficult to sit home and wonder what was being said about me for not being there. Who knows, maybe not a word was said and no one noticed. The world doesn’t revolve around me after all.

After remembering the ways they were shallow, shitty friends for many years, I was able to make the right decision. Sure, they’re nice people, but they talk shit about everyone, they’re racists and homophobes, and we don’t shqre the same values. After how they betrayed me when I was laid off and how they betrayed me before that, their friendship is not worth the effort.

They always looked down on me for not living like them. But you know what? I chose my own path instead of doing what society expects of me and I know I’m happy. I didn’t get pregnant because my husband wanted kids, even though I didn’t. I didn’t get married to the first guy that asked, to get my best friend to start hanging out with me again.

I don’t put people down to make myself feel better about my choices. I stood on my own two feet and chose my life, instead of letting it happen to me. I don’t say any of this from a place of judgment. I respect other people’s choices, but I can’t be friends with people who try to pull me down daily for living differently then them. I never wanted kids or marriage and they took that as a personal affront to their own decisions. They never respected me. I wish them well. I just had to move on.

This is about me, not you.

Yeah, well, rattlesnakes are found in nature and they’re not exactly good for your health. You have to be mindful of what things do to your body. Chemically altered food and products are not good for you!! What you put in and on your body daily will effect your health and goals.

Ellen’s response to the ‘Abercrombie& Fitch’ statement.

Beautiful. I ADORE this woman. Her coming out routine helped me stand up to those that outed my sister and bullied her. (Also known as the Assemblies of God)

I’m glad he finally said this, cuz this bitch don’t whip out a tripod and lingerie for just anybody.

Bahaha it did until I tried to extend one leg into the air and it felt like I got shot in the quad. Whoops

Oh, I know that feeling all too well. Nothing feels better than a good stretch though. I think I am going to take up yoga soon. Do you take classes or just practice at home?

Paleo Granola Bars

It’s pretty hard to find sweet snacks while on Paleo, so this granola bar recipe is such an amazing discovery. These are for SURE going to disappear pretty quickly, and your kitchen will smell AMAZING. They taste just like other granola bars, but healthier and you can take them on-the-go :)

Ingredients:

3/4 cup of raw pumpkin seeds

3/4 cup of raw sunflower seeds

1 1/2 cups of almond meal

1 1/2 cups of shredded unsweetened coconut

3 cups of raw slivered, chopped, or sliced almonds

3-4 tsp of pumpkin pie spice

1 cup of raw honey

3 tbsp of pure vanilla

3/4 cup of melted coconut oil

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl

Stir in the wet ingredients

Pour the mixture into a baking pan that is lined with foil or parchment paper

Spread the granola flat throughout the sheet

Bake for 15 minutes and stir the mixture

Bake for another 5 minutes

Let cool and cut into granola bars

“

At Metabolic Effect, we approach eating and exercise using a gray approach.

You are never “on” or “off” a diet, you are simply eating.

Fat loss is a spectrum, and you move up and down on that spectrum based on choices. Better choices move you toward fat loss, poor choices move you further away.

Regardless, you are always only ONE meal away from being in fat-burning mode.

This is a PRACTICE, and you get better the more you practice.

Week in Review

Sat, 18 May 2013 07:20:43 -0400

I worked out 5 nights in a row—4 at the gym and 1 at home with Duane. Yes, I count sex as exercise—at least how I do it. I’m incredibly sore, so I might rest until later today and do the DVD that came with my BOSU ball. My eating was the problem. More specifically, lunch was my problem. Dinner, breakfast, and my afternoon snack were all good. My lunches sucked. Next week, I hope to be better.

This made my heart go awwwwww!
