33 Days until we've been Paleo/Crossfit for 1 year PLUS our garden update!

I went to bed on time last night!  I didn't have too much trouble falling asleep however I didn't get up on time.  Have I mentioned how much I love to sleep?!?  Seriously, I haven't slept that much in a long time but I had 11 hours under my belt.  My plan for the morning is to wake up during my normal Crossfit time in the morning and head out for a run AND I will be headed to bed again tonight at 10 p.m. with hopes to be asleep by 10:30 p.m.

I have no pictures of my food from today.  Breakfast was eggs and avocado.  Lunch was leftover grilled chicken thigh and tomato watermelon salad.  Snack was carrots with 1/2 avocado and a handful of blueberries and grapes.  Dinner was at my mom's and was taco salad, guacamole and peppers, Paleo style doritos, and Mexican cake (fabulous!!!).

Remember when we planted this garden?

We've recently been able to harvest a few things.  A couple of cucumbers and a tomato so far.  We are really close to harvesting sugar snap peas, squash and zucchini and bush beans.  This is what she looks like now.

 

I think I am most excited to be growing spaghetti squash as I haven't ever grown it before.  But it's doing well (picture above on the right). and flowering like this:
Spaghetti Squash
This morning we had an active day.  We headed to Muscatatuck Wildlife Refuge and walked and ran a couple of trails with the boys.  I didn't take a ton of pictures as I was focused on swatting away mosquitoes :D  But I did capture one of the boys before we jogged a trail.  It was a great morning getting out and stretching our legs and getting fresh air!  

Tomorrow is grocery store day and we're headed out of town for half of the week....so it's going to take some planning....UGH!  Food is a Drug #Paleo!

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...

Paleo is Simple!

I've been bombarded with friends and strangers asking questions about Paleo.  I am excited that so many people are excited to try the lifestyle and see if it can help them the way it has helped Mr. and I.  I thought a post to answer some of the questions I am getting along with some additional information was in order. Don't over think Paleo! It's really pretty simple.  Fruits and Vegetables(Organic when possible), Grass Fed Beef (if possible), Nuts and Seeds. Paleo Food Pyramid My typical breakfast includes bacon, eggs, and fruit or avocado.  To add variety I cook my eggs a different way every day.  I usually rotate between fried soft, fried hard, and scrambled eggs with red onion, red, pepper, mushrooms, and spinach.  My breakfast usually looks like this: Paleo Breakfast I don't count or measure anything.  We buy our eggs from local farmers.  They are so much better than store bought PERIOD.  I usually gauge how hungry I am ...

I HEART EGGS!

Pre paleo, I was not a breakfast eater.  I would go in spurts but a bowl of cereal or a cup of yogurt were about as much as I ever thought of regarding breakfast.  I am not a morning person either, so many days I would be running too late for breakfast.   Then came Paleo.  As I was learning how to navigate the lifestyle I was already tired of eggs.  I didn't love eggs.  I promise I've been trying to avoid loving them but something happened to me in the last 6 months and it's time that I come clean.  I love eggs!  I look forward to them every morning. Sometimes at night I think about how I will make them the next day! Woo...that feels better. So now that it's out there, let me tell you how I learned to love them.  Every day I try and fix them a different way and I rotate through the week.  Fried hard, Fried Soft, Scrambled, Scrambled with Veggies are on constant rotation at my house.  Then I try to switch up what I have with ...
