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!

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!

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 sh...

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 ...
