Meal Plan and Emeals: Paleo Flank Steak with Balsamic-Sweet Potato Sauce


Our meal plan and shopping for the week was done Sunday morning before an afternoon of work and basketball.  I was running on fumes through the weekend.  My work schedule has been too packed.  To date I have worked the last 13 of 15 days and that's only because yesterday I decided not to work after a doctors appointment.

I can definitely feel the tension when I over schedule and as a result I had an OFF weekend of eating paleo.  At first I was just letting myself slide on Friday but then the weekend got away from me.  Monday it was back to 100% Paleo.

Our meal plan this week is all Emeals recipes for the week.  I'm excited to share recipes with you including this one: Emeals Paleo Flank Steak with Balsamic Sweet Potato Sauce.  I loved this one for the salad more than anything.  I can give or take Arugula on most days but there is something about the peppery taste of arugula combined with the sweetness of the apple and bitterness of the dressing that did cartwheels in my mouth.  I couldn't wait to have this salad for lunch leftovers and it was REALLY good.  The only things I could think to kick it up a notch is to add some bacon.

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...

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! Breakfast  Staff Meeting Snack  Lunch  Dinner Emeals Tuscan Pot Roast with Roasted Broccoli Emeals Tuscan Pot Roast 2 Tbsp coconut oil 1 large onion, chopped 1/2 lb carrots, chopped...

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 ...
