If you’re lucky like me, when you get married you also inherit a great mother-in-law. My dear MIL gifted me with some family recipes when I joined the family. Italian Potroast is my favorite one! I’m not sure how Italian the recipe is vs. other origins, so I’ve shortened the name. The recipe I’m sharing… Continue reading Easy Paleo Pot Roast Recipe
This post will be short and sweet. I simply had to share the recipe for the smoothie I made for breakfast this morning because it was that good! Enjoy! Ingredients 3/4 cup frozen raspberries 1 banana 1 cup Simply Orange juice 1/2 TBSP chia seeds Blend & enjoy!
Today went fine. Not spectacular and not terrible. My energy wasn’t as free-flowing as yesterday, but not terribly low either. There’s really not much to post about. The biggest thing was that I discovered a recipe to make a Paleo and Whole30-approved pineapple sherbet. So yummy. Basically I’m just posting to let you know I’m… Continue reading Day 14: My Whole 30 Journal
Treadmills. They don’t have to be boring. If you train by running different in intervals or doing the following workout, your mind stays engaged enough not to be bored but not so engaged that you can’t meditate over life and mentally recharge. I did this workout today after a short warmup. Well, actually it was… Continue reading 20-Minute Treadmill Fat Burner
Today I went to Starbucks and Mackenzie River Pizza; both places I’ve been avoiding for 13 days. It’s my sis’s birthday so of course we went to coffee after our workout and went to the best local pizza place for dinner. At Starbucks my options were very limited. I settled on a tall blonde roast… Continue reading Day 13: My Whole 30 Journal
Today was a great day. I woke up at 5:30am feeling energized and the feeling stayed until the evening. I got so much done! Working out and cleaning my house, oh my! Is this what I’ve been missing all this time?!? Breakfast and lunch were pretty normal with Larabars and such. Dinner was….Chicken Cacciatore! One… Continue reading Day 12: My Whole 30 Journal
One of my absolute favorite meals is chicken cacciatore, and I’m not gonna let the Whole30 keep me from eating it. This recipe is inspired by Giada De Laurentiis’s Chicken Cacciatore recipe which you can find HERE. The differences are small but Whole30 and Paleo compliant, and still delicious. … Continue reading Whole30 Chicken Cacciatore Recipe
Journaling to you, whoever you are out there, is keeping me from quitting my Whole30 challenge. Today was easy and today was hard. I had plenty of things around to munch on, yet I’m missing my old lifestyle of pizza and cereal. It’s an emotional problem and mental struggle. I know I don’t need to… Continue reading Day 11: My Whole 30 Journal
Larabars are my new “candy bars”. I’m not sure if this is a bad habit that I should try to kick or not, but every time I want something comforting I reach for a Larabar. This just goes to show how emotional of an eater I am. Certain foods bring me comfort. I suppose Larabars… Continue reading Day 10: My Whole 30 Journal
I’m running. Outta. Steam. I’m not sure what’s up today, but I’ve felt like quitting the Whole30 challenge several times. I’ve compromised by eating Larabars or drinking (off limits) Naked juice smoothies. Oh yeah, and it’s caramel time at the grocery store. How in the world did I pass this up?! The answer: just barely.… Continue reading Day 9: My Whole 30 Journal
