Water works

Oh my dear goodness!  Day 2 and I am SOOO tired of visiting the restroom.  I've really focused these last 2 days on making sure I was drinking lots of water.  I feel like my body is rejecting it...but I know it's really using it to flush out all the bad.

Last night finished as good as it started.  My boys are very busy this week as we wind down one sport and pick up another.  Which had them eating a 4th meal after 2 practices.  Someday's it's hard to keep food in our house.  Unfortunately, after our camping weekend we are too well stocked on junk too.  But I'm happy to report that I didn't cave.  I didn't even have a snack after our early dinner.

So this morning I started my day with my 6 a.m. wake up walk, ab work, and stretching.  I really thought about hitting my snooze but decided against it (and so happy I did).

Eggs, bacon and bulletproof coffee for breakfast.

Carrots and celery for a mid morning snack.

Veggie Soup and leftover pork chop and brussel sprouts for lunch.

An apple for a mid afternoon snack.

Dinner tonight will be taco salad.  Of course to make it paleo I hold the chips and cheese.  My taco salad has romain lettuce, grass fed meat, green and red peppers, organic salsa, avocado, red onion, and cilantro.  I'm looking forward to dinner!

Wednesday is my LONG day at work.  So I'll be sleeping an hour later.  My goal for tomorrow is not to forget to take my vitamins!

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...

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...

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 ...
