Day 4/30 DayPaleo Challenge

Day 4 of the 30 Day Strict Paleo Challenge and I am getting pushed out of my comfort zone. Our trainers will be offering extra points when completing tasks throughout this partner challenge. Last night our first task was shared. Run/walk 3 miles timed and post a picture of your time. Why does this push me out? Two reasons 1. I don't time my runs. 2. Sharing a timed run publicly will be hard! I know I can run 3 miles so that's not the problem. I also know that I run very slow. I like my pace though...and guess I will suck it up and get it done. My goal is to do it tomorrow morning after the kids are off to school as Friday is my day off.

I've been perfect thus far on day 4 of my challenge. I started off with breakfast:

Then had this yummy snack this morning:

Got to eat yummy leftovers for lunch:

I was so hungry at lunch! I had quite a bit of food. I opted for no snack this afternoon.

Made this healthy refreshing dinner before heading out:

Grilled Tilapia, Zucchini Casserole, and Fresh slice of tomato

Tonight we had tickets to a minor league ball game. So I packed some healthy nuts to keep me on track for the night while the kids munch of thier ball park snack.

I really do think that good planning is 80% of the reason why we've had so much success following the Paleo lifestyle. A little work on my part leads to staying on track with no cheating. 4 days in and I already feel success. I haven't weighed myself since the start but I have a feeling there is a lower number to be seen already! 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 ...
