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.

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...
