Paleo Ground Beef Mushroom Meatball Soup

It's Day 10 on my way to detoxing my way to paleo. Aside from craving chips and a head ache that keeps popping up, I feel I am doing well on nutrition. Last night for supper I made an emeals dinner that was really good. I always love finding recipes that are worth cooking and sharing. My modifications where minor. I did add a bit more seasoning to the soup. A little garlic salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning was all it took to give the broth the flavor I was hoping to achieve. I didn't make the zucchini last night as directed either. Mr. was out of town and I don't really enjoy raw zucchini so I roasted ours in the oven with avocado oil. The sweet potato was leftover and so I heated it up as the zucchini was cooking. The soup though will be a keeper at the Smith house. Here's the recipe: Emeals Paleo Ground Beef Mushroom Meatball Soup

As I've said before Wednesday's are my looong work day and late night so I keep my plans simple. The boys had FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) this morning. They started bright and early at 7:30 a.m at Hardee's. Luckily I was able to pack my bacon and eggs and my bulletproof coffee held me over until I got to work.

I didn't pack a snack today but when I was out shopping for our snack for tonight's meeting I picked up a banana. An interesting thing crossed my mind. Whenever I used to buy a candy bar or a pop, the cashier generally always asked me if I wanted it left out when bagging. Today when I purchased my banana (only 1) the question was not asked. Interesting.

Lunch is leftover meatball soup

Afternoon snack is grapes and carrots.

Dinner is grilled chicken thighs and roasted broccoli.

Late snack is a piece of pork chop and celery.

I'm happy to say that I've only missed one day (Saturday) of taking vitamins. However, I've not gotten my morning walks in and I'm missing it. Hoping to get a good walk in on Friday morning.

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 ...

Just keep moving

I've reset again and have been following my Paleo Lifestyle for over 30 days. I'm walking, lifting, and eating right! Again, the first 2 weeks were super tough as I detoxed from the sugar and carbs. But I'm well on the other side of that now and so glad! I do have a little secret to my morning routine that's kept me moving even when my muscles and joints are soar. I'm sharing this with you and an affiliate link through Amazon. I've added this collagen powder to my bulletproof coffee and can tell a difference. Some of the added benefits beyond my joints can be found in my fingernails and hair growth. I'm on my second container of this particular brand. In the morning add 1-2 tsp of coconut oil, 1-2 tsp of grass fed butter, and a scoop of this Collagen Powder to my Magic Bullet and fill the rest with coffee. 10-15 second of blending and it makes a wonderful fat filled coffee that allows my intermittent fasting to happen. After my long morning walks...

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...
