3 Days until our Paleo/Crossfit 1 year Anniversary! + Paleo Emeals Ratatouille Recipe Share!!!!

We're getting back in the groove of things around here!  Mr. and I have both been stepping back into the Box, Paleo without cheats or special snacks are happening, and we're getting back on a good sleep schedule!  All of this is happening just in time to celebrate 1 year since we've started our Paleo/Crossfit Journey.  It feels good to be on the journey with the glimpse of looking into the future of a continued lifestyle!  Paleo is not a diet.  It's not a pill or drink that you consume for a trial number of days to help you loose a predetermined amount of weight.  Paleo Lifestyle has allowed us to change how we view food.  We know now that Food is a Drug.  Eating can still be pleasurable but it's about fueling your body and giving it the nutrients it needs to function properly.

If you already have started your Paleo Journey than you know exactly what I am talking about.  If you haven't started your journey but are considering it feel free to use us as resources.  We'd love to help others feel better inside and outside.

When I started Paleo within a week my complexion cleared, within a month my sleep patterns improved, within 2 months I noticed regular cycles after having been irregular since college, within 3 months I noticed improvements on my yearly blood work (cholesterol and tryglicerides), within 4 months I noticed improvements in inflammation of my joints.  All I had to do was make the decision to change the way I ate turning to vegetable and fruits, meats, nuts and seeds.  Seems simple enough right?

Last nights dinner was spot on.  Lots of veggies and grass fed beef.  I highly recommend this Emeals Recipe!

Carrot-Celery Cauli-Rice

Ingredients:
1(12oz) bag cauliflower florets

2 carrots, chopped
2 stalks of celery, chopped

1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
1 cup organic chicken broth

Instructions:

Enjoy! Remember Food is a Drug #Paleo!

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 ...

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...

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...
