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.

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...

Paleo is Simple!

I've been bombarded with friends and strangers asking questions about Paleo.  I am excited that so many people are excited to try the lifestyle and see if it can help them the way it has helped Mr. and I.  I thought a post to answer some of the questions I am getting along with some additional information was in order. Don't over think Paleo! It's really pretty simple.  Fruits and Vegetables(Organic when possible), Grass Fed Beef (if possible), Nuts and Seeds. Paleo Food Pyramid My typical breakfast includes bacon, eggs, and fruit or avocado.  To add variety I cook my eggs a different way every day.  I usually rotate between fried soft, fried hard, and scrambled eggs with red onion, red, pepper, mushrooms, and spinach.  My breakfast usually looks like this: Paleo Breakfast I don't count or measure anything.  We buy our eggs from local farmers.  They are so much better than store bought PERIOD.  I usually gauge how hungry I am ...

I HEART EGGS!

Pre paleo, I was not a breakfast eater.  I would go in spurts but a bowl of cereal or a cup of yogurt were about as much as I ever thought of regarding breakfast.  I am not a morning person either, so many days I would be running too late for breakfast.   Then came Paleo.  As I was learning how to navigate the lifestyle I was already tired of eggs.  I didn't love eggs.  I promise I've been trying to avoid loving them but something happened to me in the last 6 months and it's time that I come clean.  I love eggs!  I look forward to them every morning. Sometimes at night I think about how I will make them the next day! Woo...that feels better. So now that it's out there, let me tell you how I learned to love them.  Every day I try and fix them a different way and I rotate through the week.  Fried hard, Fried Soft, Scrambled, Scrambled with Veggies are on constant rotation at my house.  Then I try to switch up what I have with ...
