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!

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 ...

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 ...

Paleo Intermittent Fasting--Emeals Paleo Bacon Turkey Meatloaf Recipe included!

At a recent appointment with my favorite Integrative Medicine Physician, Mr. and I were able to lay it out all on the line and learned how to refocus on our health journey. Dr. W knows of how successful we've been with changing to a Paleo Lifestyle. He saw us through it every step of the way last time. So he asked us (individually) what we knew about Intermittent Fasting. Admittedly, Mr. and I knew very little and probably still don't know much but Dr. W assures us he's super impressed with what he's seen come from research and thought we'd be perfect candidates. So on August 1st (Actually the 31st of July because it was a Monday), Mr. and I started down this path. Much like the first time I tried paleo I was a little apprehensive. I've spent the last several years coaching others to eat 3 meals and 2-3 snacks per day. I've focused on food so much that I wasn't sure how I was going to slow that train down. I found that 1. It's a lot easi...
