6 Days! Mr. and will be Paleo/Crossfit for 1 year!

I am in party planning mode starting today!  Mr and I are having a Paleo/Crossfit celebration with all our supporters to celebrate 1 year of Paleo/Crossfit!  Mr. is only 4 lbs away from goal!  I find myself slowly chipping away at mine.  I know I will get there.  I've had a string of bad days through the summer.  Too many "cheats." This past week I've learned that my stomach can no longer handle "fried" anything.  And unfortunately I learned the hard way twice within the past week (insert sad face).  It was a great reminder though for me about why Paleo works for me and my body.  It helps me fall in love all over again with this lifestyle and how it works in our lives.

I celebrated my birthday this past week.  A friend of mine was an inspiration for a new tradition that I started.  Every January she picks a focus word for the year.  She makes it her focus for the year through prayer and life.  I decided to pick a focus word for my birthday.  I never paint but found it a nice outlet.  My word for the year: SHINE!

This year I will be reaching goals!  I will be running my first 5K!  I will be using my life to shine!  This will be a good year!

What a perfect way to celebrate with all those that have used their own lives to support Mr. and I.  Little lights of inspiration along our journey!

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 ...
