Notes on my pillow & Mileage

We live in the midwest and I have to say that when it's 80 degrees on November 1st it's worth rejoicing. It's been a mild fall actually and lots of trees are still green. With the mild weather I've been able to log some miles. Friday 4.5, Saturday 3, and this morning I decided to walk/jog. I'm proud to say that I was able to run the first whole mile without walking. It was a relief for me since I've been a bit of a couch potato throughout the summer and I wasn't sure how I would fare. the rest of my mileage this morning I alternated walk/jog. I'll get better for now I'm just glad I didn't lose it all.

Today was a bit of a whirlwind. I hosted a meeting this morning which led into a lunch meeting and then got a couple hours of actual work in (with awful internet service). After I picked up the boys from school and brought them home, took one of them back to the dr for an ear infection. Luckily my amazing Mr. put dinner in the crockpot in anticipation this morning of a busy day for me as he travels frequently. So the boys and I are having a roast with carrots, celery and mushrooms for dinner.

Breakfast: 2 Eggs, 3 bacon, bulletproof coffee, pineapple, canetlope

Snack: None

Lunch: Side salad, burger with bacon (no bun), sweet potato fries

Snack: None

Dinner: Pot Roast (carrots, celery, mushrooms)

Night Snack: Thinking an apple might be in order later. We'll see!

This isn't exactly a paleo topic but a brag on Mr. He's been in his current job a little over a year. He's gone at least one night a week sometimes more but I love that whenever he leaves for an overnight that he puts a love note card on all of our pillows. This is what I found when I came home this evening.

I do love him so...<3

So I'm still hanging in there...saying no to gluten, dairy and sugar,,...but tonight would be extra sweet if we could get another CUBS WIN! #crossing my fingers

Meal Plan++Paleo Mulligatawny

Thank you to everyone that responded to my survey. I really appreciate the feedback and look forward to sharing with you this year. Meal planning has been our best asset to following a paleo lifestyle. We use emeals and follow the Paleo Meal Plan. Every week I get an email with lunch and dinner options and I make our meal plan based on the activities we have on our calendar. Wednesday's I work 13-14 hours and so you can bet that I almost always use my crock pot on those nights. Otherwise, I try to match up the easier meals for our heavier loads on our calendar. Here's our meal plan for this week. I write out our menu plan on this magnet that's on our fridge. It makes it easier for me to remember to pull meat and thaw from the freezer in advance. That Jambalaya is in my Instant Pot (on slow cooker mode) as we speak. I've done a horrible job of food pictures that last couple of weeks but wanted to share this recipe with you. I made ...

Prepping for surgery...Paleo Style++Paleo Chicken Carnitas

I've been dealing with a nagging shoulder injury for almost a year. I can't put my finger on a moment the injury happened which is frustrating and had me wondering if it was mental. At the beginning of January I opted for an MRI which indeed indicated that I have a 50% torn rotators cuff and my surgeon is pretty certain I have a SLAP tear as well. I was so relieved to know this information but also shocked to hear the recovery after surgery. Last week after scheduling the MRI, I've had 2 weeks to do as much preparation as I can. I've been grinding it out at home and at work so that the transition can go as smooth possible. At home I've been cleaning, organizing and meal prepping. Luckily Mr. is a phenomenal caretaker and I know that he will do fine but I'm trying to lighten the load for him as much as possible. I plan on doing additional meal prepping this weekend. Because of my work schedule I'm able to make meals almost nightly so ...

Paleo Intermittent Fasting--Emeals Paleo Bacon Turkey Meatloaf Recipe included!

At a recent appointment with my favorite Integrative Medicine Physician, Mr. and I were able to lay it out all on the line and learned how to refocus on our health journey. Dr. W knows of how successful we've been with changing to a Paleo Lifestyle. He saw us through it every step of the way last time. So he asked us (individually) what we knew about Intermittent Fasting. Admittedly, Mr. and I knew very little and probably still don't know much but Dr. W assures us he's super impressed with what he's seen come from research and thought we'd be perfect candidates. So on August 1st (Actually the 31st of July because it was a Monday), Mr. and I started down this path. Much like the first time I tried paleo I was a little apprehensive. I've spent the last several years coaching others to eat 3 meals and 2-3 snacks per day. I've focused on food so much that I wasn't sure how I was going to slow that train down. I found that 1. It's a lot easi...
