32 Days until we've been Paleo/Crossfit for 1 year...

Tomorrow morning is our big segment on WishTV Channel 8 out of Indianapolis.  Mr. and I are both excited to see how they pulled everything together.  Because I wrote a special post for viewers checking us out from Channel 8 I won't be blogging until Saturday or Sunday.  I will however be sharing on Facebook so make sure to like Food is a Drug #Paleo.

Meal Plan Monday



Today was a busy meal planning/shopping day.  I also made some home made Paleo Mayo as we had pork burgers tonight and I am planning on having those bacon stuffed burgers on the 4th.  If you 've never made your own mayo, I highly recommend it.  Look online for a recipe.  The homemade version tastes so much better and has no additives etc!  The recipe I use has egg, lemon juice, dry mustard, garlic salt, and light olive oil.

Dinner was odds and ends that I was able to pull together to make delicious.  I forgot to thaw my roast last night to throw in the crock pot this morning so I had to come up with my game plan for tonight.  It turned out so delicious and everyone left the table full and satisfied!
That's a pork burger with hot sauce and homemade mayo, homegrown cucumber slices, bell pepper, sweet potato fries, and broccoli bok choy saute.  

Tomorrow I'm headed back to the Box.  I feel as nervous as I did on my first day but this time I know that I've fueled my body and I'm ready for what's coming at me.  Food is a Drug #Paleo!

Meal Plan++Paleo Mulligatawny

Thank you to everyone that responded to my survey.  I really appreciate the feedback and look forward to sharing with you this year.  Meal planning has been our best asset to following a paleo lifestyle.  We use emeals and follow the Paleo Meal Plan.  Every week I get an email with lunch and dinner options and I make our meal plan based on the activities we have on our calendar. Wednesday's I work 13-14 hours and so you can bet that I almost always use my crock pot on those nights.  Otherwise, I try to match up the easier meals for our heavier loads on our calendar.   Here's our meal plan for this week. I write out our menu plan on this magnet that's on our fridge.  It makes it easier for me to remember to pull meat and thaw from the freezer in advance. That Jambalaya is in my Instant Pot (on slow cooker mode) as we speak. I've done a horrible job of food pictures that last couple of weeks but wanted to share this recipe with you.  I made ...

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. After my long morning walks...

Paleo Intermittent Fasting--Emeals Paleo Bacon Turkey Meatloaf Recipe included!

At a recent appointment with my favorite Integrative Medicine Physician, Mr. and I were able to lay it out all on the line and learned how to refocus on our health journey.  Dr. W knows of how successful we've been with changing to a Paleo Lifestyle.  He saw us through it every step of the way last time.  So he asked us (individually) what we knew about Intermittent Fasting.  Admittedly, Mr. and I knew very little and probably still don't know much but Dr. W assures us he's super impressed with what he's seen come from research and thought we'd be perfect candidates. So on August 1st (Actually the 31st of July because it was a Monday), Mr. and I started down this path.  Much like the first time I tried paleo I was a little apprehensive.  I've spent the last several years coaching others to eat 3 meals and 2-3 snacks per day.  I've focused on food so much that I wasn't sure how I was going to slow that train down.  I found that 1. It's a lot easi...
