Day 15 today! I can't weigh myself till the end, but I know I'm shrinking. I'm very tired today, but I think that's from being behind on sleep. I'm a little bummed that I haven't gotten into a workout routine yet, but I'm working on it little by little. I got thru about 3/4 of [...]

2 weeks down! Sixteen more days in Whole30, but I think I'm extending mine out to 45, and staying Paleo overall for life. Scott is still missing his carbs, but for me, I just feel like it'd be nice to have dessert once in awhile-I'm excited to try paleo desserts! I'll probably have something non-paleo [...]

So today was more cooking-I just couldn't stop!- and a lot of cleaning the kitchen. I am just really enjoying the kitchen creativity that paleo affords me, I'm definitely feeling more energetic too. Scott's been experiencing a "sloshy" feeling in his stomach after most meals, so we got him a digestive enzyme supplement. Hope that [...]

Today I did my weekly cook up. Depending when you read this, there may be a picture of my disaster of a kitchen in the aftermath. Here's what I did: -10 mustard chicken thighs (2 meals)-1 giant salad with tuna, tomatoes, avocado and sunflower seeds(Scott's lunch)-egg salad (my lunch)-made 3 salt blends (rosemary, sage, lemon) [...]

Today's major event was grocery shopping. I love Whole Foods for meat, but am pretty sure I'm gonna start hitting Kroger and Trader Joe's for produce and canned stuff before we head over there. Gotta keep costs reasonable. I'll pay what's needed for good food, but not everything needs to be organic, and the conventional [...]

Today was fairly uneventful but good overall. Worked a bit on getting systems in place as far as workout calendar, daily schedule spreadsheet, and the next 2 weeks of grocery lists and menus. We are going to use the Practical Paleo meal plans for awhile, and see how we like it. Excited to try many [...]

Today was good in a few ways. Lexi is still in her lovey needy mood, but that's ok. 🙂 she played-and I later discovered, napped- in her crib, allowing me to do an hour of yoga. There were some technical difficulties keeping me from Zumba, so we strapped on the ergo and tried to go [...]

Today was supposed to be my first day of working out, but Lexi was having a needy day, so I focused on her. It was really nice being able to enjoy the the results of my cook up and spend minimal time preparing meals. I had a bit of a hard day emotionally, just feeling [...]

Today Lexi is 7 months old!! It was a nice and productive day here at home. I did my first cook up, preparing mostly or completely 16 of the 21 meals for this week. Lexi seemed to really miss me, so I'm really glad for the extra time it'll give me with her this week. [...]

Today was great! We had lunch at whole foods, and proved it's a perfect eating out option for our new lifestyle! I planned out my first cook up for tomorrow (Sunday) and finished my winter clean out! Who wants to wait for spring? We had Balsamic Chicken for dinner, which was amazing, and I finally [...]
