Notes on my pillow & Mileage

We live in the midwest and I have to say that when it's 80 degrees on November 1st it's worth rejoicing. It's been a mild fall actually and lots of trees are still green. With the mild weather I've been able to log some miles. Friday 4.5, Saturday 3, and this morning I decided to walk/jog. I'm proud to say that I was able to run the first whole mile without walking. It was a relief for me since I've been a bit of a couch potato throughout the summer and I wasn't sure how I would fare. the rest of my mileage this morning I alternated walk/jog. I'll get better for now I'm just glad I didn't lose it all.

Today was a bit of a whirlwind. I hosted a meeting this morning which led into a lunch meeting and then got a couple hours of actual work in (with awful internet service). After I picked up the boys from school and brought them home, took one of them back to the dr for an ear infection. Luckily my amazing Mr. put dinner in the crockpot in anticipation this morning of a busy day for me as he travels frequently. So the boys and I are having a roast with carrots, celery and mushrooms for dinner.

Breakfast: 2 Eggs, 3 bacon, bulletproof coffee, pineapple, canetlope

Snack: None

Lunch: Side salad, burger with bacon (no bun), sweet potato fries

Snack: None

Dinner: Pot Roast (carrots, celery, mushrooms)

Night Snack: Thinking an apple might be in order later. We'll see!

This isn't exactly a paleo topic but a brag on Mr. He's been in his current job a little over a year. He's gone at least one night a week sometimes more but I love that whenever he leaves for an overnight that he puts a love note card on all of our pillows. This is what I found when I came home this evening.

I do love him so...<3

So I'm still hanging in there...saying no to gluten, dairy and sugar,,...but tonight would be extra sweet if we could get another CUBS WIN! #crossing my fingers

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

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

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
