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...

Looking forward to the week ahead...

Often times I am asked how I manage to meal plan and prepare for the week ahead.  I work full time and run kids to after school activities like everyone else.  I've been meal planning before Paleo so I haven't noticed a big change except I am not as familiar with recipes so it does take me a little longer to cook.  We've been using meal plans through  Emeals  since September 2013.  I get the meals sent to my inbox on Wednesday so that gives me a few days to determine how to proceed.  I don't cook every meal that comes from the meal plan.  Typically though I will use 4-6 depending on the week.  Some I know we won't like, some are too time consuming, and others like fish I'd prefer not to cook inside. Emeals isn't perfect.  Last week there was a recipe for "on the grill." Well we don't have a gourmet kitchen and our outside grill has 6 inches of snow on top of it.  Also it isn't strict Paleo.  There are dressings etc that use h...
