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

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 ...
