Before and During Pictures

These pictures really need no words. But I can't help myself...tomorrow Emeals.com is doing a blog spot on Mr. and I's lifestyle change for Transformation Tuesday. They had requested 'after' photos of us. Luckily, we have a friend with a good eye and she used my camera to snap a few shots. Although I didn't take before measurements looking at these photos side by side helps me appreciate where I was and how far I have come. This year we will be taking our 'got there' photos! Until then there's work to be done....

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...

Stepping Out In Support of Paleo

My goal is for this Blog to help someone make the switch to Paleo and ultimately live a happier and healthier life. I am stepping out in support of the Paleo lifestyle because it has changed my life and my husbands life for the better. Please know that I am not a writer. My "style" if you will, of writing is more conversational than gramatical and I am o.k. with that. I hope you can be too because I think I have a lot of great experience from learning how to actually live the Paleo lifestyle to share! For now, however, I'd like to share with you my dinner from last night. I've just returned from an extended trip and my Mr. has been taking care of grocery shopping and meal planning and does it much differently than me but I fused our efforts and made Maple Mustard Chicken Thighs with Cabbage Apple, Bacon, and Walnut Side Dish. This recipe was taken in part from www.emeals.com and changed to what we had on hand. EMeals is my go...

Looking forward to the week ahead...

Often times I am asked how I manage to meal plan and prepare for the week ahead. I work full time and run kids to after school activities like everyone else. I've been meal planning before Paleo so I haven't noticed a big change except I am not as familiar with recipes so it does take me a little longer to cook. We've been using meal plans through Emeals since September 2013. I get the meals sent to my inbox on Wednesday so that gives me a few days to determine how to proceed. I don't cook every meal that comes from the meal plan. Typically though I will use 4-6 depending on the week. Some I know we won't like, some are too time consuming, and others like fish I'd prefer not to cook inside. Emeals isn't perfect. Last week there was a recipe for "on the grill." Well we don't have a gourmet kitchen and our outside grill has 6 inches of snow on top of it. Also it isn't strict Paleo. There are dressings etc that use h...
