5 days down...Day 57/61...1 year Crossfit/Paleo

I started my day off with a run. It wasn't my best and I did stop twice to walk a bit and catch my breath but I did it! 2.5 miles logged today. The boys rode their bikes along side me which is better than them running with me. I came home and worked on double unders. I figured while I was away from CF and getting weaker, I might as well get better at something. I did 20...but not in a row. Lots of jump roping this a.m. :D I stretched a lot afterwards. My back pain is getting better! Not 100%, but I do now feel like I can brush my teeth without holding myself up on the counter.

Today is a chore/errand day around our house. We're planning on spending time today at our neighborhood pool. I'm looking forward to checking out and letting go of the anxiety build up!

So today instead of blogging at night I am going to try and update as the day progresses. We'll see how this works!

Breakfast

2 eggs, 1 slice of bacon, 1/2 avocado

Just got in for the evening...so I guess blogging throughout the day doesn't work for me. But that's o.k. because I've had a great day with my boys! Pool time, baseball, and a yummy dinner!

Lunch

Leftover roast and carrots from yesterday!

Snack

1/2 cucumber and carrots

Dinner

Grilled Tilapia and Julienned Carrots, Zuchinni, and Onions sauteed in Ghee!

This guy ate all his veggies and wanted to buy himself a Banana Split. He and I rode our bikes to a local summer ice cream spot...and I didn't even have a bite! Willpower!

Don't spoil a wonderful healthy dinner with a dessert like this. It messes up all the work you've done PLUS it prevents your body from properly absorbing all the nutrients. Food IS a Drug #Paleo

5 Simple Steps to Understanding Paleo for Beginners

Just 6 months ago Mr. and I were beginning our Paleo Journey. We started at our local Crossfit Gym Crossfit Seymour . Friends of ours own the gym and they were having a 30 day Paleo/Crossfit Challenge. Lucky for us Coach Sam had a 30 day meal plan prepared that he shared with us. We didn't have the stress of deciding what we were having for dinner. He had recipes that he and his wife had gathered that he shared with us. We did the bulk of our cooking on Sunday, which he called our Sunday WOD (workout of the day). It was at the end of our 30 day challenge when Mr. and I decided we wanted to adopt the Paleo Lifestyle that I found myself stressed and anxious about what to do next. The answer for us was Emeals . I've written a post about emeals you can find here: Paleo Emeals . This was a great starting point for us that took a lot of the planning and stress off my shoulders. It still allowed me to learn more. 1. Paleo Food List It's important to k

10 Things Couples Starting their Paleo Journey Should Know!

Mr. and I started our Paleo Journey pretty much together. I can't say that it was a smooth beginning. We definitely have learned a lot through the process and continue to do so. Here's a quick list of 10 things you should know when starting the Paleo Journey as a Couple! 1. Support from your partner! Support from your partner is key to your journey. It's been one of the best things we've done as far as our relationship is concerned. We've literally lost a person (130 lbs) in 6 months. It's not all been pretty but we are a stronger TEAM because we've been on the journey together! 2. There's No 'I' in Team! Teamwork makes the dream work! I couldn't have done this without Mr. rolling up his sleeves and pitching in. We both like to be in the kitchen but neither of us is fond of the clean up afterwards. We do teamwork with cooking when we are both home. This way it doesn't fall on one persons shoulder! We

Just keep moving

I've reset again and have been following my Paleo Lifestyle for over 30 days. I'm walking, lifting, and eating right! Again, the first 2 weeks were super tough as I detoxed from the sugar and carbs. But I'm well on the other side of that now and so glad! I do have a little secret to my morning routine that's kept me moving even when my muscles and joints are soar. I'm sharing this with you and an affiliate link through Amazon. I've added this collagen powder to my bulletproof coffee and can tell a difference. Some of the added benefits beyond my joints can be found in my fingernails and hair growth. I'm on my second container of this particular brand. In the morning add 1-2 tsp of coconut oil, 1-2 tsp of grass fed butter, and a scoop of this Collagen Powder to my Magic Bullet and fill the rest with coffee. 10-15 second of blending and it makes a wonderful fat filled coffee that allows my intermittent fasting to happen. After my long morning walks
