Paleo Kid: Day 2

Yesterday went really well. She didn't eat the deer roast I made for dinner but she had roasted potatoes and carrots - one green bean-  and a larabar.... TODDLERS 

This morning she had chorizo scrambled eggs and strawberries. I didn't take a picture but she loved it. I just called it taco eggs. 
She had a snack of a fruits and greens spinach strawberry larabar. Sneaking in spinach without her knowing is FABULOUS. 

For lunch she wanted to make her own PBJ sandwich. 


We had PBJ, Chips, and an orange 



This mikeys sliced bread is at the longview walmart in the frozen section. 
The longview walmart surprisingly has several paleo options in their frozen section FYI



We are using roasted almond butter (just almonds) and smuckers fruit and honey (just strawberries and honey) which were both purchased at the marshall kroger. I still call it PBJ but peanut butter is NOT paleo since peanuts are a legume and not a nut. You can use any nut butter that has no sugar added. We like cashew butter too. This particular almond butter was on closeout at Kroger and so I snatched it up. You keep it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh so I scooped some out and microwaved it for about 30 seconds so it would smear easier. 



This fruit and honey smuckers is so good! Seriously everyone should just buy this jelly from now on. We have another jar of jelly in the fridge right now that is Strawberries, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, pectin. Probably best to get corn syrup out of our fridge. 

I let her make her own sandwich. 



Gave her a few plantain chips cooked in coconut oil that I grabbed at vitamins plus in Longview. 
You can find coconut oil and avocado oil cooked chips at the Marshall kroger too. 


Success! She ate the whole sandwich and orange - but only one chip. The bread is pretty thick so she was probably just full. She never said anything about the bread being "Weird" or anything. It isn't like regular bread but it is very yummy. 


I told her "Tonight we are having steak!" and she said "HOORAY STEAK!!!!" So I don't think that she will even really notice. I just hope she doesn't want something she has eaten before that isn't paleo and I say she can't have it. Maybe we will just shoot for 90/10 paleo like mommy! When we are home she will be paleo. If we go to a special party or trip we can eat some non paleo items. I have tried really hard to look up as many recipes for paleo swaps to her favorite foods. Stay tuned for tomorrow -we are having chicken nuggets using almond meal and french fries!

Crossfit and a sex doll.

I have been working out pretty consistently and have been weightlifting for a while, but I decided that I wanted to do something more. I have been thinking about trying CrossFit but I am scared to do it alone. I mentioned the idea to my husband and he said he was interested in trying it too. I am really interested in lifting heavy and getting more physical strength.  I am really proud that I have lost over 100 pounds, but I will say my body isn't exactly how I imagined it would be. I pretty much feel like this...  It's weird how your body just kind of deflates. My skin is weird. I am not really comfortable with my arms or thighs - hello short and tank top season. I also hoped my stomach would go away and while it is smaller it's just a smaller deflated version of what it was. I was morbidly obese and had a child. My stomach will probably never be viewed by anyone and that is fine, but when you look at this as motivation  and then you get t

This morning after my multi hour internet health blog and pinterest binge I was wondering should I be taking supplements? My husband drinks protein powder after he works out but he is big and not trying lose weight but build muscle. I want to build muscle too because ultimately I want to actually have a fit body not just lose weight. I wonder if I am supposed to lose the fat first and do weights obviously while I am losing weight but then once I get most of the fat gone and want to be a more serious muscle builder THEN take supplements? I don't even know if I want to take supplements. For some reason I feel like taking pills and powders is unhealthy. Maybe because I have a past with the whole diet pills, meal replacements etc. I don't think those work and I think they are a waste of my time and money. I want to do something that is good and right for my body. I want to eat FOOD not take short cuts that eventually fail me. There isn't a magic powder or pill thats going to

On Sunday, I completed my second marathon. I finished this marathon with a slower pace than my first marathon, but I also finished this marathon a lot happier. In 2018 I started training for my second marathon and quit because I hated it. I thought I hated running, but I have come to realize I was really just struggling with my image. I came to believe that running was responsible for making my body smaller and to keep myself skinny I needed to run. I also started to believe that in order to be a real runner or feel like I was good enough I had to run at a certain pace. I put a lot of pressure on myself to PR marathon number two in 2018 and when I realized those paces were not coming it made me start negative self talk and the constant negativity around running wasn’t about the running it was about my thoughts. When I started working on accepting my body no matter what size I was and accepting my running no matter how slow I was, I found peace in the process of marathon training. I nev
