Happy Anniversary!!!

I wish I knew how to do those fancy give aways that the blogs I read do when they have special milestones! Oh well!!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!

Mr. made a huge goal today!

He has officially lost 102 lbs!!! He was so excited and happy to reach this goal by our 1 year Paleo/Crossfit Anniversary! I am so very proud of him. He has put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into this year. He's fought very hard to reach this goal and others this year. Mr. is an excellent dad that our boys adore and it's wonderful to know that his health is going to allow him to stick around for the long haul!

Here's a picture recap of a year in review:

We haven't updated pictures since these! I plan to take lots of pictures tonight at our Paleo/Crossfit Party! Our year has been a roller coaster. We've had lots of stuff happen that should have caused us to stumble on this journey. With the help of others either encouraging us, lending an ear, or a helping hand we've been able to pick ourselves up, dust off, and carry forward. This isn't the end of our journey. It's really only still beginning. We have learned so much about ourselves and each other along the way. Our relationship with food has changed drastically but our relationship with each other hasn't waivered. We are stronger as individuals but also as a family having made this journey together. We will continue to improve and work towards our goals in the year to come.

I thank each of you that read this blog for your support and encouragement along the way. Your kind words, interest, and revisiting has allowed me to feel an even wider support system. Blogging has allowed me to process what is going on inside of me emotionally as my body begins to mold and form into a new creation. It has also allowed me to share my story as a means to motivate others. I am so glad that Amy and Sam extended the olive branch when they did. I can't imagine what our life would have been like this year if they hadn't.

Sam says, "Food is a Drug." Listen to him!

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
