Orphan Run Sponsored By...

None other than Primus Crossfit! I'm so proud of my son and his wife! They are really getting involved in helping their community get fit! Tomorrow, Friday, June 1, is the Orphan Run in Owasso. If you aren't going to run, then at least come out and support the Orphans with a financial donation and at the same time you can check out the Primus Crossfit booth. Hope to see you there!

Right now I'm doing the Advocare MNSMax3 dietary supplement and Replacement shake once daily, and only eating two meals a day for the next 14 days. I thought that when summer came along my days would slow down and I could really concentrate on cooking mainly Paleo dishes but so far I've been more busy! I still plan on doing better in the next few days. I'm taking a week off in June so, I really plan on doing better then.

Today I had squash soup for lunch and for dinner was a hot dog on gluten free bread and potato chips. See what I mean about needing to do better? Well, it's going to be a very long and busy day tomorrow so like I said before, come out to Owasso and check out the Crossfit booth. Until then, goodnight and God Bless!

Lost Count!

I'm not really sure what day I'm actually on, but what I do know is that I have NOT eaten wheat since December of last year. That's a huge deal for me! I did find a gluten free bread, hamburger bun and hotdog bun that I purchased and have had several meals using these. I am being careful to not make this a habit but rather a treat! I did make hamburgers and hot dogs over the holiday weekend and made BLT's for dinner tonight, now I will try to not eat anymore for a few days.

I have noticed that since I've been slacking on the Paleo meals, that I'm starting to gain a little weight back. Not much but any weight gain back is more than I want, because I worked too hard regain it all back. I decided that I needed to start the Advocare 14 day challenge with a meal replacement, so I started this today!

Crossfit today consisted of 75 pound back squats for the warm up. And then the workout was 5 hand stand pushups, 10 ring dips and 25 double under's. You were to do as many reps as possible in 12 minutes. I did 5 reps and was on jump #70 when the time was up! Yes I had to scale everything. I would say this was a good workout for me! Well, it's suppose to be bad storms tonight, so I've got to get in bed early in case the storms get loud, so until tomorrow, goodnight and God Bless!

Days 147-149: Time Off

These last few days have been so busy that I've taken a few days off of blogging. It is a holiday weekend and since I actually get a three day weekend I've decided to try to get things done that I usually don't have time for. I haven't really had a lot of time to cook so we've been having sandwiches. I purchased some gluten free bread and have been enjoying having a sandwich. I did make some butternut squash soup tonight and I'm stuffed! Well I've got to get back to the cleaning so hopefully I'll check back I with everyone tomorrow. Until then goodnight and God Bless!

Day 146: So Sore!

I am still so sore from my Crossfit workout on Monday, I can hardly walk or lift my arms. I started to go to Crossfit this afternoon, but my plans got changed so I walked for 30 minutes instead. I am going to try to make it to the 6am class in the morning so I can work out some of the soreness.

I made a very good protein drink this
Morning using some of the canned coconut milk I had left over from a recipe and a little almond milk. I added some strawberries, grapes, pineapple, honeydew and cantaloupe with a scoop of protein powder. It was very tasty. For
lunch I had left over spaghetti squash and chicken from last night, some fresh fruit and some dates and cashews for a snack. Dinner was left over grilled chicken on a Coconut Paleo wrap with lots of veggies some potato chips and a little ranch dressing, yes this was a cheat, but I am getting better with less cheats!

Well I've got to get organized for in
the morning, so until tomorrow, goodnight and God Bless!

Days 143-145: Italian

I did take a few days off of blogging, but not from eating Paleo! I just needed to get a few things organized and I realized its going to take more than a few days.

I've been wanting to eat some Italian food, and luckly spaghetti squash is really tasty! I stir fried some chunks of chicken and added lots of fresh herbs such as tarragon, basil, marjoram, thyme, oregano and some fresh chopped garlic. I added onions, sweet peppers and black olives then a jar or spicy marinara sauce. This was so good over the baked spaghetti squash and it really satisfied my Italian craving! I served a left over strawberry poppy salad with this dish. The salad is not Paleo because of the dressing. I'm going to try to figure out how to make the dressing more Paleo friendly because it is very good! All the other food I ate today was paleo, so all in all I feel better about what I'm eating, I just need to go down on my portion size again! I'm considering doing the Advocare 24 day challenge again, because I'm starting to notice weight gain in my stomach area again. No crossfit today, and I'm very sore from yesterdays workout. I can hardly walk! I do plan on going tomorrow to try and work some of the soreness out. I've got to start getting ready for my long day tomorrow, so until then, goodnight and God Bless!

Day 142: Off Day or Day Off!

You can look at this title any way you want, but I'm taking the day off from blogging today and possibly tomorrow, so until then goodnight and God Bless!

Day 141: I Ate Too Much!

I went to a graduation party and they cooked hamburgers and hot dogs, and I ate one of each and I'm stuffed! I did eat it on a coconut Paleo wrap! For breakfast I had a fried egg on a salad and lunch was left over enchalada homemade salsa and chips. Not very Paleo today!
We worked in the garage all day cleaning it to be able to get the car in the garage if it storms. I'm so tired so going to get some rest now, so until tomorrow, goodnight and God Bless!
