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!

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 ...

Paleo Intermittent Fasting--Emeals Paleo Bacon Turkey Meatloaf Recipe included!

At a recent appointment with my favorite Integrative Medicine Physician, Mr. and I were able to lay it out all on the line and learned how to refocus on our health journey. Dr. W knows of how successful we've been with changing to a Paleo Lifestyle. He saw us through it every step of the way last time. So he asked us (individually) what we knew about Intermittent Fasting. Admittedly, Mr. and I knew very little and probably still don't know much but Dr. W assures us he's super impressed with what he's seen come from research and thought we'd be perfect candidates. So on August 1st (Actually the 31st of July because it was a Monday), Mr. and I started down this path. Much like the first time I tried paleo I was a little apprehensive. I've spent the last several years coaching others to eat 3 meals and 2-3 snacks per day. I've focused on food so much that I wasn't sure how I was going to slow that train down. I found that 1. It's a lot easi...

Prepping for surgery...Paleo Style++Paleo Chicken Carnitas

I've been dealing with a nagging shoulder injury for almost a year. I can't put my finger on a moment the injury happened which is frustrating and had me wondering if it was mental. At the beginning of January I opted for an MRI which indeed indicated that I have a 50% torn rotators cuff and my surgeon is pretty certain I have a SLAP tear as well. I was so relieved to know this information but also shocked to hear the recovery after surgery. Last week after scheduling the MRI, I've had 2 weeks to do as much preparation as I can. I've been grinding it out at home and at work so that the transition can go as smooth possible. At home I've been cleaning, organizing and meal prepping. Luckily Mr. is a phenomenal caretaker and I know that he will do fine but I'm trying to lighten the load for him as much as possible. I plan on doing additional meal prepping this weekend. Because of my work schedule I'm able to make meals almost nightly so ...
