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.

5 Simple Steps to Understanding Paleo for Beginners

Just 6 months ago Mr. and I were beginning our Paleo Journey.  We started at our local Crossfit Gym Crossfit Seymour .  Friends of ours own the gym and they were having a 30 day Paleo/Crossfit Challenge.  Lucky for us Coach Sam had a 30 day meal plan prepared that he shared with us.  We didn't have the stress of deciding what we were having for dinner.  He had recipes that he and his wife had gathered that he shared with us.  We did the bulk of our cooking on Sunday, which he called our Sunday WOD (workout of the day).  It was at the end of our 30 day challenge when Mr. and I decided we wanted to adopt the Paleo Lifestyle that I found myself stressed and anxious about what to do next.   The answer for us was Emeals . I've written a post about emeals you can find here:  Paleo Emeals .  This was a great starting point for us that took a lot of the planning and stress off my shoulders.  It still allowed me to learn more.   1.  Paleo Food List It's important to k

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 shoulder!  We

Fueling Your Body

The owner of our local gym, Crossfit Seymour, is who uses the term, "Food is a Drug."  I started using it on here because I realized how true it was in my own body.  As I adjusted to the Paleo lifestyle and Crossfit too I could feel the difference in my energy level, inflammation, and overall wellness almost immediately! Last week was my kiddos spring break.  We usually head south to a warmer climate but decided to have the ever trendy 'staycation.'  We did one fun thing each day to keep the week exciting.  While all that fun was being had I had several moments of weakness. My downhill spiral started on Tuesday at the movie theater.  We rarely go to the movies.  I was overwhelmed by the glorious smell of popcorn when we entered the theater.  I had no will power.  The boys got a popcorn to split and each of them had a soda.  The first handful I had I knew I could handle it...but unfortunately I didn't have just one handful.  I was frustrated with myself but wen
