My personal 90 Day Paleo Challenge!

I've said it and heard it said more than I can count.  This summer has flown by.  Maybe it's because it's still really summer and we're thinking back to school.  Maybe it's because our summers are filled with camps and high hopes for lots of reading and napping.  Although I'm not looking forward to the start of school, I am looking forward to having a schedule again.  Getting back into a bit of routine will be good for myself and the boys.  We're staring down this last week of freedom and bracing ourselves for another year of wisdom.

I started this morning getting back on my workout schedule.  If I don't work out before the sunrises its way to easy for me to put it off.  I am not a morning person.  I don't hit the gym at 5:30 a.m. because it's my optimal time.  I hit the gym at 5:30 a.m. because if I don't get it in first thing, it's way to easy to put on the back burner.

Today I committed myself to a 90 day paleo challenge.  Mr. and I just finished hosting a 30 day paleo challenge with friends and people from our community.  It was fun but I'm telling you as soon as I put that first taste of sugar on my tongue that's all she wrote.  I had 2 weeks of free for all.  I felt like poo but kept on plugging.  This 90 days is for me.  It's not for a competition nor is it for anyone else but myself.  No more leanience with myself.  I have been very gentle with myself since I've lost Charlie.  On some days I still am but by and large most days I am able to suck it up and move forward.

I began my Paleo journey 2 years ago on August 1st.  I am forever greatful that it has changed my life for the better.  Paleo is journey not a destination.  You learn as you go and I've been able to experience life through much clearer eyes.

The Paleo lifestyle takes discipline, planning, and effort.  When you follow it you maximize your bodies potential.  Your body is a vessel given to you by God.  It's your job to take the best care of it you can.  One day you'll give it back....my personal goal is when I give it back it's gently used.

Here's to 90 days!

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...

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!

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 ...
