Meal prep is one of my new favorite things to do. The problem however, is finding time to prep during the week. I am off to work every morning by 8:15 and usually get home by 6:30 if I am lucky. When I throw in my weekly darts league, studying, and keeping the house clean,… Continue reading Finding Time for Meal Prep
Snowfall = Total Body Workout
I would put up a well thought out post tonight about the bomb enchilada bake that I made yesterday. But, unfortunately I am recovering from snow shoveling. 5 hours, 3 inches and lots of ice later.... Let's hope that the wind burned cheek redness clears up soon! I'll let you know how my muscles feel… Continue reading Snowfall = Total Body Workout
Comfort Food
Where I come from, fall brings beautiful color changes and makes way for colder temperatures, snow, and hermit-tendencies. I was born and raised in Minnesota and for some reason, choose to still live here. I did try to escape briefly - I spent some time in Spain and lived in Denver for a year -… Continue reading Comfort Food
Tips to Quit
The hardest part of changing your habits is giving up the things you love. Whether you are quitting smoking, eating healthier, or fighting another bad habit. There are ways to lighten the blow. For me, some of the hardest things to give up were candy, bread and soda. The trick to making the transition easier… Continue reading Tips to Quit
Learn to love
My favorite part of my new way of eating is finding not only a taste but a CRAVING for food that I have never liked the taste of before. I have been spending a lot of time experimenting in the kitchen with foods that I love and foods that I have never liked. You know… Continue reading Learn to love
Finding Time for Fitness
Can we talk about how hard this is? I work full-time, between 40 - 50 hours per week, sometimes more depending. I also am a part-time student with two classes this semester (my FIRST semester of college) and an 11-year old step son. Where am I supposed to find time to work out? That is… Continue reading Finding Time for Fitness
The food fight.
We love to eat out. Before we began eating Paleo, our weekends may have consisted of at least 2 – 3 meals out. That has decreased substantially. Now, we eat out maybe 1 time per week unless it is a special circumstances. We are lucky enough to get to spend (almost) every weekend with the… Continue reading The food fight.
Temp-to-the-temptation
I have done pretty well so far at avoiding cravings. I have a candy jar on my desk and don't have the urge to eat it. I can go to a restaurant and have no problem not eating the bread (can't say the same for my hubby.) (About 2 weeks ago, dinner out at Outback… Continue reading Temp-to-the-temptation
Today on the Tread
I switched up the scenery today. Usually I work out at the gym upstairs in our apartment building. (I say usually as if I have been doing it for years, nope it is a new habit!) Being a one car family and having a dentist appointment this morning, meant that I had to pick up… Continue reading Today on the Tread
Skinny does NOT mean Healthy
This is the message that I want to share today. I am sharing this message for two reasons, 1. This message is for everyone who mocks me when I say I am going to work out or I started the paleo diet. This is for those who say, "why would you need to work out?" or… Continue reading Skinny does NOT mean Healthy
