5 days down...Day 57/61...1 year Crossfit/Paleo

I started my day off with a run.  It wasn't my best and I did stop twice to walk a bit and catch my breath but I did it!  2.5 miles logged today.  The boys rode their bikes along side me which is better than them running with me.  I came home and worked on double unders.  I figured while I was away from CF and getting weaker, I might as well get better at something.  I did 20...but not in a row.  Lots of jump roping this a.m. :D  I stretched a lot afterwards.  My back pain is getting better!  Not 100%, but I do now feel like I can brush my teeth without holding myself up on the counter.

Today is a chore/errand day around our house.  We're planning on spending time today at our neighborhood pool.  I'm looking forward to checking out and letting go of the anxiety build up!

So today instead of blogging at night I am going to try and update as the day progresses.  We'll see how this works!
Breakfast
2 eggs, 1 slice of bacon, 1/2 avocado

Just got in for the evening...so I guess blogging throughout the day doesn't work for me.  But that's o.k. because I've had a great day with my boys!  Pool time, baseball, and a yummy dinner!


Lunch
Leftover roast and carrots from yesterday!
Snack
1/2 cucumber and carrots
Dinner
Grilled Tilapia and Julienned Carrots, Zuchinni, and Onions sauteed in Ghee!
This guy ate all his veggies and wanted to buy himself a Banana Split.  He and I rode our bikes to a local summer ice cream spot...and I didn't even have a bite!  Willpower!

Don't spoil a wonderful healthy dinner with a dessert like this.  It messes up all the work you've done PLUS it prevents your body from properly absorbing all the nutrients.  Food IS a Drug #Paleo

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 ...
