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.

Reset in Progress

So for the next two weeks as I reset my habits and start the cleanse, it may be important for those closest to me to tread very lightly.  I was pretty ill for most of the month of December especially that last week or so.  My body is very ready to cleanse and detox and begin the healing process. The Smith household is having a Paleo Reset starting today.  I sort of wish it was as easy as pushing a reset button but unfortunately it is not.  We started Saturday by cleaning out the refrigerator and the pantry.  We did meal plan and shopping Sunday morning.  We stumbled upon a great price on a whole chicken that was antibiotic and additive free.  So I cooked it in the Instant Pot Sunday to have protein for the week.  After it cooled, I shredded it and put the bones back in with Fish Oil, Carrots, Garlic, and Onion and cooked it for 2 hours to make fresh bone broth.  This made 3 mason jars full of broth. I also made an egg quiche type dish for easy breakfast warm up this week
