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!

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...

Paleo is Simple!

I've been bombarded with friends and strangers asking questions about Paleo. I am excited that so many people are excited to try the lifestyle and see if it can help them the way it has helped Mr. and I. I thought a post to answer some of the questions I am getting along with some additional information was in order. Don't over think Paleo! It's really pretty simple. Fruits and Vegetables(Organic when possible), Grass Fed Beef (if possible), Nuts and Seeds. Paleo Food Pyramid My typical breakfast includes bacon, eggs, and fruit or avocado. To add variety I cook my eggs a different way every day. I usually rotate between fried soft, fried hard, and scrambled eggs with red onion, red, pepper, mushrooms, and spinach. My breakfast usually looks like this: Paleo Breakfast I don't count or measure anything. We buy our eggs from local farmers. They are so much better than store bought PERIOD. I usually gauge how hungry I am ...

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 ...
