Made it through the weekend +Monday +almost Tuesday

What a fun busy weekend.

First to update about how I did at the wedding.  This is 'my person' Deanna.  She's waited very so patiently to find the soul God intended for her.  I'm so happy for her and Nate and can't wait to hear all about their life adventures.  So in my post Saturday morning I had everything mapped out.  I was going to eat a quick lunch before I left for the wedding.  I was packing snacks to have in the car.



Well, I quickly had to come up with a Plan B.  When I came downstairs after getting ready, Mr. told me how beautiful I looked but my kiddo insisted I needed to change.  (He will give me a complex some day).  I ended up leaving without eating OR packing a single snack or water only my coffee!  I of course didn't realize it until I was have way into my 90 min. drive.  Luckily I arrived early and good thing too because I needed to stop and get a card.  CVS had larabar's on a "deal" 3 for $4.50 so I bought three (2 blueberry, 1 apple pie) along with a bottle of water.  On the way to the church I ate 1 lara bar, then on the way to the reception (30 miles away) I had another larabar.  Luckily, at the reception they had a vegetables for an appetizer and this was dinner!  Success!


I had my last larabar on my way home that night after resisting alcohol and cake!  I stopped at a Starbucks and picked up an iced tea to help get me home.

Sunday morning we were late for church and decided since we needed to head north anyway to go to church up there.  So for breakfast 2 eggs and steak with bullet proof coffee.  Lunch was late and we ate out.  I had steak again with a salad.  Dinner was a meeting I held for work: I had chicken wings, salad, burger (no bun), and a baked potato.

Monday was a busy day too.  The boys are switching seasons and we officially started basketball practices.  Breakfast 2 eggs, 1 bacon, 1/2 avocado and bullet proof coffee.  Snack: Carrots  Lunch: leftover caulirice and chicken fajitas, Snack: Celery Dinner: Paleo Kung Pao with Bok Choy Late snack: Apple  

Today is another busy day and Mr. is out of town working.  Plus Go Cubs!
Breakfast: 2 eggs, 1 bacon, 1/2 avocado bulletproof coffee
Snack: None
Lunch: Salad, pork chops
Snack: carrots and grapes
Dinner: Meatball mushroom soup with zucchini ribbons

Day 9 and going strong!

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

Fueling Your Body

The owner of our local gym, Crossfit Seymour, is who uses the term, "Food is a Drug."  I started using it on here because I realized how true it was in my own body.  As I adjusted to the Paleo lifestyle and Crossfit too I could feel the difference in my energy level, inflammation, and overall wellness almost immediately! Last week was my kiddos spring break.  We usually head south to a warmer climate but decided to have the ever trendy 'staycation.'  We did one fun thing each day to keep the week exciting.  While all that fun was being had I had several moments of weakness. My downhill spiral started on Tuesday at the movie theater.  We rarely go to the movies.  I was overwhelmed by the glorious smell of popcorn when we entered the theater.  I had no will power.  The boys got a popcorn to split and each of them had a soda.  The first handful I had I knew I could handle it...but unfortunately I didn't have just one handful.  I was frustrated with myself but wen
