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!

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...

Prepping for surgery...Paleo Style++Paleo Chicken Carnitas

I've been dealing with a nagging shoulder injury for almost a year.  I can't put my finger on a moment the injury happened which is frustrating and had me wondering if it was mental.  At the beginning of January I opted for an MRI which indeed indicated that I have a 50% torn rotators cuff and my surgeon is pretty certain I have a SLAP tear as well.  I was so relieved to know this information but also shocked to hear the recovery after surgery.  Last week after scheduling the MRI, I've had 2 weeks to do as much preparation as I can.  I've been grinding it out at home and at work so that the transition can go as smooth possible. At home I've been cleaning, organizing and meal prepping.  Luckily Mr. is a phenomenal caretaker and I know that he will do fine but I'm trying to lighten the load for him as much as possible.  I plan on doing additional meal prepping this weekend. Because of my work schedule I'm able to make meals almost nightly so ...
