Weekend woes

Day 5 & 6
I survived my day yesterday.  Friday is my day off and so usually my the day is laid back and low key or very busy.  Yesterday my day was the later.  I started my day off with a long walk with my walking partner Lilly Rose (my dog).  Came home and added in squats, sit ups, and pushups.  Then the rest of the day was a whirlwind.  On crazy days like that I find myself not as hungry.

Breakast: 2 eggs, 1 bacon, bulletproof coffee
Snack: none
Lunch: chicken and roasted veggies leftovers
Snack: none
Dinner chicken fajitas, mexican cauli rice, and guacamole, apple cider
Snack: more fajitas, cucumbers and quac, larabar

We tailgated with friends last night.  There was lots of yummy food to choose from and lots of drinks to be had.  I stuck with my water but did have a handful of the mexican popcorn I had made.  It was made with coconut oil and mexican seasoning.  I feel o.k. with my decision to have a little.

Today will be another challenging day.  I am about to head out to a wedding.  For breakfast I had 3 eggs and 1/2 and avocado.  I'll have leftover fajitas and caulirice before I leave for the wedding.  But I'm not sure what to expect there and it's an hour and a half drive.  I'm packing some celery, grapes, and a larabar to be prepared just in case.

I always find weekends more challenging to eat paleo.  The mix of social activities and flexible schedule make planning a little more complicated.  I don't find myself stressing over food but at the same time I don't want to put myself in a position to not have an alternative option.

On a more personal note, I'm so excited to witness my friends wedding today.  She's my ministry person.  She's my first call when I'm challenged at work or in my faith.  I've witnessed her wait patiently and through some pretty horrible blind and not so blind dates to find the person God had intended for her.  I'm so excited today that she gets to make her happily ever after come true.

58 Days to go....I am strong! +Emeals Recipe Share

58 days to go until I've been Paleo Crossfit for 1 year!  I feel strong today...with will power that is.  I feel no need to have my Paleo cheats.  Maybe I've done a quick detox of yummy chocolate or maybe I'm too stressed to think about it.  I'd love to report back that last nights run melted all my anxiety...but it didn't.  I did take the time to really count my blessings and thank God for all that he has given me and our family.  It's hard to understand why and how things happen sometimes but standing on Faith is important and that is what I choose to do.  So when I woke up this morning I was determined to stick with the plan that I outlined a couple of days ago...and that's just was I did!  That's why I feel strong!

20 Days into Paleo Challenge

This sort of feels like a picture overload dump but I've been busy the last 20 days.  I joined Civilized Caveman's 30 Days to a Better You Challenge.  It's just the motivation I needed to start this new journey. I've really struggled staying on Paleo.  Lots of outside factors impacted that.  But my bodies constant yearn to feel strong and healthy again never went away.  I'm grateful to my family and husband and great Integrative Medicine doctor who have been gently pushing me back to the right path.  I've spend that last 20 days trying intermittent fasting on for size and it's been really great.   I think it feels much different than how I was used to coach others in regards to eating.  Where before I spent a lot of time planning 3 meals and 3 snacks I now eat 2 or 3 times a day and only sometimes snack.  I'm a morning workout girl so breakfast always came early to me.  It's been an adjustment waiting until 10 a.m or after to begin ...

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...
