Made it through the weekend +Monday +almost Tuesday

What a fun busy weekend.

First to update about how I did at the wedding.  This is 'my person' Deanna.  She's waited very so patiently to find the soul God intended for her.  I'm so happy for her and Nate and can't wait to hear all about their life adventures.  So in my post Saturday morning I had everything mapped out.  I was going to eat a quick lunch before I left for the wedding.  I was packing snacks to have in the car.



Well, I quickly had to come up with a Plan B.  When I came downstairs after getting ready, Mr. told me how beautiful I looked but my kiddo insisted I needed to change.  (He will give me a complex some day).  I ended up leaving without eating OR packing a single snack or water only my coffee!  I of course didn't realize it until I was have way into my 90 min. drive.  Luckily I arrived early and good thing too because I needed to stop and get a card.  CVS had larabar's on a "deal" 3 for $4.50 so I bought three (2 blueberry, 1 apple pie) along with a bottle of water.  On the way to the church I ate 1 lara bar, then on the way to the reception (30 miles away) I had another larabar.  Luckily, at the reception they had a vegetables for an appetizer and this was dinner!  Success!


I had my last larabar on my way home that night after resisting alcohol and cake!  I stopped at a Starbucks and picked up an iced tea to help get me home.

Sunday morning we were late for church and decided since we needed to head north anyway to go to church up there.  So for breakfast 2 eggs and steak with bullet proof coffee.  Lunch was late and we ate out.  I had steak again with a salad.  Dinner was a meeting I held for work: I had chicken wings, salad, burger (no bun), and a baked potato.

Monday was a busy day too.  The boys are switching seasons and we officially started basketball practices.  Breakfast 2 eggs, 1 bacon, 1/2 avocado and bullet proof coffee.  Snack: Carrots  Lunch: leftover caulirice and chicken fajitas, Snack: Celery Dinner: Paleo Kung Pao with Bok Choy Late snack: Apple  

Today is another busy day and Mr. is out of town working.  Plus Go Cubs!
Breakfast: 2 eggs, 1 bacon, 1/2 avocado bulletproof coffee
Snack: None
Lunch: Salad, pork chops
Snack: carrots and grapes
Dinner: Meatball mushroom soup with zucchini ribbons

Day 9 and going strong!

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...

THE SYMBOL OF A RING

When I started my journey I had something I wanted to accomplish that I probably didn't tell anyone.  I have shared it with a few people after the fact.  In my weight gain and all the things I couldn't do, wear, or accomplish one thing bothered me more than anything.  I couldn't get my wedding ring on my finger. I've always had large hands.  My fingers are puffy and it had been years since I had gotten to wear my wedding ring.  Many mornings it would leave a pit in my stomach and I can't tell you how many times I would try hoping that some of the water weight had made my fingers small enough to slip it on. Our anniversary is in September and a year and half ago I had contemplated having it resized so I could wear it again.  I didn't have a real goal or the gumption to loose weight.  In the end, I was too embarrassed to walk into the jewelry store and admit defeat.  When we began our journey this past August the first thing I started to do ...

Stepping Out In Support of Paleo

My goal is for this Blog to help someone make the switch to Paleo and ultimately live a happier and healthier life.  I am stepping out in support of the Paleo lifestyle because it has changed my life and my husbands life for the better.   Please know that I am not a writer.  My "style" if you will, of writing is more conversational than gramatical and I am o.k. with that.  I hope you can be too because I think I have a lot of great experience from learning how to actually live the Paleo lifestyle to share! For now, however, I'd like to share with you my dinner from last night.  I've just returned from an extended trip and my Mr. has been taking care of grocery shopping and meal planning and does it much differently than me but I fused our efforts and made Maple Mustard Chicken Thighs with Cabbage Apple, Bacon, and Walnut Side Dish.  This recipe was taken in part from www.emeals.com  and changed to what we had on hand.   EMeals  is my go...
