50 Days to go...another thought on overcoming a craving...


Today's run felt great!  My last run felt horrible.  Often times once I get to 1.5 mile head trash starts to take over.  Today was not the case.  Around lunch time I was able to squeeze in a 2.5 mile jog.  It was one of those jogs that I felt like I could have kept running but because of time constraints stopped at 2.5. While I was jogging it hit me, what a great way to squash a craving by exercising.  Cravings can sometimes be overbearing and mind numbing.  So instead of grabbing for that instant gratification, try moving.  Take a walk or jog, stretch, shoot baskets with you kids, throw a frisbee, take a bike ride; just find what it is that takes your mind off of food and enjoy the moment.

I can only share breakfast and dinner pictures today.  I didn't have time for a snack and lunch was 1/2 cup of leftover sloppy joes before my run.  Needless to say, by the time I had dinner I was soooo hungry!

Breakfast
Scrambled Eggs w, red onion, red pepper and spinach, 1/2 avocado, bacon

Dinner
Pineapple Beef, with Sauteed Asparagus with bacon and onions!


It's going to be an interesting weekend food wise.  We are headed out of town and making sure we (I) stay on track is a huge priority even if I have to elbow my way into someone elses kitchen!  

It's a priority because everyday I am reminded: Food is a Drug #Paleo!

Reset in Progress

So for the next two weeks as I reset my habits and start the cleanse, it may be important for those closest to me to tread very lightly.  I was pretty ill for most of the month of December especially that last week or so.  My body is very ready to cleanse and detox and begin the healing process. The Smith household is having a Paleo Reset starting today.  I sort of wish it was as easy as pushing a reset button but unfortunately it is not.  We started Saturday by cleaning out the refrigerator and the pantry.  We did meal plan and shopping Sunday morning.  We stumbled upon a great price on a whole chicken that was antibiotic and additive free.  So I cooked it in the Instant Pot Sunday to have protein for the week.  After it cooled, I shredded it and put the bones back in with Fish Oil, Carrots, Garlic, and Onion and cooked it for 2 hours to make fresh bone broth.  This made 3 mason jars full of broth. I also made an egg quiche ty...

10 Simple Ways to get your Kids to Eat #Paleo

10 Simple Ways to get your Kids to Eat # Paleo ! 1.  Have a chat!   My boys were 8 when we started our journey.  My husband and I had a chat with them about changing our eating habits.  Luckily they had taken a food class at our local library and they knew the importance of fruits and vegetables.  The obstacle became explaining to them why we weren't using the My Plate method as that is what they learned.  The My Plate method is the government recommended program on nutrition. 2.  Start with 1 meal a day!   When we started and after our family discussion we thought they should be all in.  That did not happen.  Mr. and I would make them Eggs and Bacon for breakfast and pair it with a different fruit each day.  On the third day of eating eggs for breakfast G money sunk his head in his hands and wanted to know why he just couldn't eat oatmeal.  It took me a little while to get into the egg habit too.  You  ca...
