36 Days until we've been Paleo/Crossfit for 1 Year!

I was able to track my food with phone with pictures today.

Breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 slices of bacon, 1/2 avocado, blueberries

Lunch Leftovers: Paleo Jambalaya with Roasted Veggies

Snack: Leftover Guacamole and carrots

Dinner: Emeals Meal

And as I promised on Facebook I am sharing the recipe.

This recipe got 2 thumbs up from the entire Smith Household!  So yummy and so easy.

When I was at the store getting the pork, I had misread and bought bone in chops.  So for the first time tonight I made bone broth!!!  I've boiled chicken bones before but never slow and for as long as I did tonight.  I've read wonderful things about bone broth and its health benefits.  I'm in the process as we speak of turning the bone broth into soup.  I've added random veggies that I had on hand.  Simmering now is carrots, celery, onion, sweet potato, cauliflower, and the rest of our leftover squash, zucchini, and red pepper).  I am having some dental work done tomorrow afternoon and wanted to make sure that I had soft food available to eat for dinner.  It smells so good in my house right now!  I definitely see bone broth more in our future.  I told Mr. that we should make a throw together soup more often so the next time one of us is sick we could have some in the freezer.  Although...we rarely are sick now that we eat Paleo.

I also posted on Facebook today some pictures with my lined up ingredients.  I've written an entire post about that here: Lining Up the Ingredients.  I just want to stress that if you feel overwhelmed in your kitchen while making dinner, lining up the ingredients will help to melt a lot of that dinner time stress away!

Have you ever been making something and get to a key ingredient only to realize you don't have it?  When you line up your ingredients that becomes a non issue.

58 Days to go....I am strong! +Emeals Recipe Share

58 days to go until I've been Paleo Crossfit for 1 year!  I feel strong today...with will power that is.  I feel no need to have my Paleo cheats.  Maybe I've done a quick detox of yummy chocolate or maybe I'm too stressed to think about it.  I'd love to report back that last nights run melted all my anxiety...but it didn't.  I did take the time to really count my blessings and thank God for all that he has given me and our family.  It's hard to understand why and how things happen sometimes but standing on Faith is important and that is what I choose to do.  So when I woke up this morning I was determined to stick with the plan that I outlined a couple of days ago...and that's just was I did!  That's why I feel strong! Breakfast  Staff Meeting Snack  Lunch  Dinner Emeals Tuscan Pot Roast with Roasted Broccoli Emeals Tuscan Pot Roast 2 Tbsp coconut oil 1 large onion, chopped 1/2 lb carrots, chopped...

20 Days into Paleo Challenge

This sort of feels like a picture overload dump but I've been busy the last 20 days.  I joined Civilized Caveman's 30 Days to a Better You Challenge.  It's just the motivation I needed to start this new journey. I've really struggled staying on Paleo.  Lots of outside factors impacted that.  But my bodies constant yearn to feel strong and healthy again never went away.  I'm grateful to my family and husband and great Integrative Medicine doctor who have been gently pushing me back to the right path.  I've spend that last 20 days trying intermittent fasting on for size and it's been really great.   I think it feels much different than how I was used to coach others in regards to eating.  Where before I spent a lot of time planning 3 meals and 3 snacks I now eat 2 or 3 times a day and only sometimes snack.  I'm a morning workout girl so breakfast always came early to me.  It's been an adjustment waiting until 10 a.m or after to begin ...

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...
