35 Days to go until we've been Paleo/Crossfit for 1 year! PLUS it finally feels like summer!

My boys and I had a fantastic day!  I got to sleep in and they got to do several fun things throughout the day!  It was a win-win!  I started my day off differently than most...I didn't have eggs.  I know shocking right?  I had a couple of bananas that needed to be used today and so I looked up a couple recipes for Paleo banana Pancakes and constructed my own.  A little of this and a little of that and I was consuming this yumminess!


I don't have a recipe to share because it was honestly a little of this an a little of that but the end result was fantastic.  I used 2 ripe bananas, 2 eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, honey, dark chocolate, coconut flour and almond flour.  I let it sit for about 4-5 min. while the coconut oil fully melted on the skillet.  Then I just poured about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake.

After breakfast the boys and I headed to our wonderful Library for a Bubblefest.  They had fun experimenting with bubbles!


I had packed our lunch before we headed out for the day and we had a fun picnic at the park.  I heated up my leftovers before we left and put them in a thermos.  We ate and then the boys played.  Eventually we ended up having timed competitions on the monkey bars followed by timed competition of running the bases.  I even got my jog on running the bases at the softball field.  We ended our park time by laying our blanket out on the grass and reading a chapter and a half of the book we are working on.  It finally felt like summer!


When we got home I put together a chicken marinade for dinner and got dinner prepped before heading to the neighborhood pool for a quick dip.  Then it was time to head to my dental appointment.  I was so nervous before the appointment but overall it wasn't so bad.  I survived and didn't even truly need the bone broth I had made last night.  But I had some for dinner anyway because I couldn't wait to try it.  I promise it tastes so much better than it looks!

Dinner was fantastic and really hit the spot.  There is not many things better than grilled chicken during the summer.  Actually anything grilled really hits the spot for me!  This Orange Chicken was served with sauteed kale which we are all really beginning to like!

And finally...I mentioned yesterday that I thought it would be a good idea to start saving bones in order to make more bone broth.  And what better time to start than tonight.  I put these bones in the freezer and plan to add to the bag until I have enough to make another batch of bone broth.  So yummy!  

Food is a Drug #Paleo!

58 Days to go....I am strong! +Emeals Recipe Share

58 days to go until I've been Paleo Crossfit for 1 year!  I feel strong today...with will power that is.  I feel no need to have my Paleo cheats.  Maybe I've done a quick detox of yummy chocolate or maybe I'm too stressed to think about it.  I'd love to report back that last nights run melted all my anxiety...but it didn't.  I did take the time to really count my blessings and thank God for all that he has given me and our family.  It's hard to understand why and how things happen sometimes but standing on Faith is important and that is what I choose to do.  So when I woke up this morning I was determined to stick with the plan that I outlined a couple of days ago...and that's just was I did!  That's why I feel strong! Breakfast  Staff Meeting Snack  Lunch  Dinner Emeals Tuscan Pot Roast with Roasted Broccoli Emeals Tuscan Pot Roast 2 Tbsp coconut oil 1 large onion, chopped 1/2 lb carrots, chopped...

Meal Plan++Paleo Mulligatawny

Thank you to everyone that responded to my survey.  I really appreciate the feedback and look forward to sharing with you this year.  Meal planning has been our best asset to following a paleo lifestyle.  We use emeals and follow the Paleo Meal Plan.  Every week I get an email with lunch and dinner options and I make our meal plan based on the activities we have on our calendar. Wednesday's I work 13-14 hours and so you can bet that I almost always use my crock pot on those nights.  Otherwise, I try to match up the easier meals for our heavier loads on our calendar.   Here's our meal plan for this week. I write out our menu plan on this magnet that's on our fridge.  It makes it easier for me to remember to pull meat and thaw from the freezer in advance. That Jambalaya is in my Instant Pot (on slow cooker mode) as we speak. I've done a horrible job of food pictures that last couple of weeks but wanted to share this recipe with you.  I made ...

20 Days into Paleo Challenge

This sort of feels like a picture overload dump but I've been busy the last 20 days.  I joined Civilized Caveman's 30 Days to a Better You Challenge.  It's just the motivation I needed to start this new journey. I've really struggled staying on Paleo.  Lots of outside factors impacted that.  But my bodies constant yearn to feel strong and healthy again never went away.  I'm grateful to my family and husband and great Integrative Medicine doctor who have been gently pushing me back to the right path.  I've spend that last 20 days trying intermittent fasting on for size and it's been really great.   I think it feels much different than how I was used to coach others in regards to eating.  Where before I spent a lot of time planning 3 meals and 3 snacks I now eat 2 or 3 times a day and only sometimes snack.  I'm a morning workout girl so breakfast always came early to me.  It's been an adjustment waiting until 10 a.m or after to begin ...
