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 ...

20 Days into Paleo Challenge

This sort of feels like a picture overload dump but I've been busy the last 20 days.  I joined Civilized Caveman's 30 Days to a Better You Challenge.  It's just the motivation I needed to start this new journey. I've really struggled staying on Paleo.  Lots of outside factors impacted that.  But my bodies constant yearn to feel strong and healthy again never went away.  I'm grateful to my family and husband and great Integrative Medicine doctor who have been gently pushing me back to the right path.  I've spend that last 20 days trying intermittent fasting on for size and it's been really great.   I think it feels much different than how I was used to coach others in regards to eating.  Where before I spent a lot of time planning 3 meals and 3 snacks I now eat 2 or 3 times a day and only sometimes snack.  I'm a morning workout girl so breakfast always came early to me.  It's been an adjustment waiting until 10 a.m or after to begin ...
