This is not a "weight loss blog"
It's a life gaining blog. My belief is that the scale is worthless, because it doesn't measure your worth, and muscle weighs more than fat.

Hi, my name is Elisa Jeanne, and I have been at war with my body ever since my freshman year. I stopped doing as much exercise, and cheated every workout i did. Along with this i started to eat lots of junk food as well. Slowly but surely i started to gain weight, and i never saw a problem with it until I was in freshman PE and my teacher made me feel bad for being over the body fat percentage. I'm not proud of the measures that I took to change my lifestyle, but I am wiser now and I know that good health is all about balance. If you ever need to talk I'm here, don't be shy! I'm not perfect but I'm working towards finding my inner body peace and becoming comfortable in my skin.

The Gym You Always Dreamed About

The good kind of fitness porn, right here. 

The second one always makes me drool. Though I recognize the last one from some videos, though I don’t remember whose it is.

Seriously. I just need to go on a mini-rant about how freaking amazing Hilary Duff is. She just, everything that could possibly be right about her, is, I swear. She had one of THE best original Disney shows ever. I’m pretty sure Lizzie McGuire was my childhood. She put out CDs, the whole shebang. (You know you know every word to Why Not, and that you at one point owned the Metamorphosis CD, so don’t even lie.) And when she was a teenager, what was the worst thing she did? What, that little tiff with Lindsay Lohan? About Aaron Carter or whatever? You didn’t see her in sex scandals, and out partying and going out of control. Then she went on and did a bunch of movies that were freaking amazing, like A Cinderella Story and Cheaper by the Dozen. She had a few weight issues along the way for like, half a day (or am I thinking of Lohan?), but freaking look at her now. She’s been married for freaking two years, and just had her first kid, not at 16, but at freaking 24. Now she’s into freakin’ animal rights, and protects the right of children and is all philanthropic and crap. This chick is such a bamf, is the one that teenage girls should look up to now, not some Snooki or whoever the crap else people are idolizing. Show some respect, bro. Show some respect. She’s not just a fitspiration, or a thinspiration, she is one of the biggest freaking inspirations of my generation.

Paleo Banana Bread

After starting the paleo diet, I started craving the exact foods I wasn’t allowed to eat. This is my first attempt EVER at making bread, and it turned out awesome!! I was extremely worried that my lack of experience would result in a brick of hard banana bread. But it wasn’t anything like that at all! In fact, it was perfectly moist and delicious to pair with some raw honey or almond butter. My kitchen was filled with the aroma of bananas as well.

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups of mashed bananas
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 4 tbsp coconut oil (can use grass-fed butter as well)
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour (can use almond flour as well)
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Mix the bananas, eggs, almond butter, and oil into a bowl and mix well. I was lazy and used a food processer :3
  3. Once you have combined all the ingredients, add in the coconut flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla, and see salt. Mix well
  4. Pour the mixture into a 9x5 loaf pan and spread it evenly through. If you need to grease the pan, please do so before pouring in the mixture
  5. Place in oven and bake for 35 minutes and start checking by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, it is ready. The total baking time should run from 40 - 60 minutes (if you want to make muffins, mini - 25 minutes and normal - 30 minutes)
  6. Remove from oven, and flip the bread out onto a cooling rack
  7. Slice and enjoy!
