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...

Stepping Out In Support of Paleo

My goal is for this Blog to help someone make the switch to Paleo and ultimately live a happier and healthier life.  I am stepping out in support of the Paleo lifestyle because it has changed my life and my husbands life for the better.   Please know that I am not a writer.  My "style" if you will, of writing is more conversational than gramatical and I am o.k. with that.  I hope you can be too because I think I have a lot of great experience from learning how to actually live the Paleo lifestyle to share! For now, however, I'd like to share with you my dinner from last night.  I've just returned from an extended trip and my Mr. has been taking care of grocery shopping and meal planning and does it much differently than me but I fused our efforts and made Maple Mustard Chicken Thighs with Cabbage Apple, Bacon, and Walnut Side Dish.  This recipe was taken in part from www.emeals.com  and changed to what we had on hand.   EMeals  is my go...

THE SYMBOL OF A RING

When I started my journey I had something I wanted to accomplish that I probably didn't tell anyone.  I have shared it with a few people after the fact.  In my weight gain and all the things I couldn't do, wear, or accomplish one thing bothered me more than anything.  I couldn't get my wedding ring on my finger. I've always had large hands.  My fingers are puffy and it had been years since I had gotten to wear my wedding ring.  Many mornings it would leave a pit in my stomach and I can't tell you how many times I would try hoping that some of the water weight had made my fingers small enough to slip it on. Our anniversary is in September and a year and half ago I had contemplated having it resized so I could wear it again.  I didn't have a real goal or the gumption to loose weight.  In the end, I was too embarrassed to walk into the jewelry store and admit defeat.  When we began our journey this past August the first thing I started to do ...
