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

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 ...
