49 Days to go...and I'm exhausted...

Stress causes food triggers for me. I could have really used food to sooth anxiety for me today...but I didn't. I almost went to bed without blogging tonight. It's been an incredibly long day that I'm happy to say that I survived. Tomorrow will be long as well...until we head out of town....and then I'm hoping I can take a few deep breaths and celebrate the "Fathers" in my life. Paleo style of course!

I only was able to eat one meal today at home....which got me thinking...next week will be similar. Since choosing the Paleo lifestyle, we've also chosen to eat almost all our meals at home. During the work week I pack my home made lunch (usually leftovers). I know after my experience coming home from our cruise this past winter that water weight gain may be an issue. I just think that's important to keep in perspective heading into a crazy busy week. Next week, lunch meals are catered in. Because I had control of the food ordering I know that the food will be "Paleo safe." I am going to have to work extra hard to make sure that I keep up my runs.

Breakfast

Lunch

Dinner

I hope I can figure out how to blog tomorrow from my phone. We'll see how that goes!

5 Simple Steps to Understanding Paleo for Beginners

Just 6 months ago Mr. and I were beginning our Paleo Journey. We started at our local Crossfit Gym Crossfit Seymour . Friends of ours own the gym and they were having a 30 day Paleo/Crossfit Challenge. Lucky for us Coach Sam had a 30 day meal plan prepared that he shared with us. We didn't have the stress of deciding what we were having for dinner. He had recipes that he and his wife had gathered that he shared with us. We did the bulk of our cooking on Sunday, which he called our Sunday WOD (workout of the day). It was at the end of our 30 day challenge when Mr. and I decided we wanted to adopt the Paleo Lifestyle that I found myself stressed and anxious about what to do next. The answer for us was Emeals . I've written a post about emeals you can find here: Paleo Emeals . This was a great starting point for us that took a lot of the planning and stress off my shoulders. It still allowed me to learn more. ...

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...

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 ...
