Sorry for the delay on the updates, I had to travel to Michigan for work, and this platform isn't user friendly on an IPAD. My laptop died so alas I had to take break from posting.
I will get caught up today with the updates, and start rolling out those recipes I promised!
Stay warm out there!
Follow along with me as I turn 15 years of treating my body like garbage into something good. The first year is in the books, and I am moving on to maintaining a healthy diet (Paleo) and focusing on fitness.I am making my body healthy again and hopefully along the way offering inspiration for others who have decided to make a change in their lives as well. Come on in and take a look!

DAY 131- Friday November 29th
Info: Today was OK, hodge podge food, nothign planned, but since I don't have junk food in my house I'm forced to come up with healthy options....WIN! Got a Flu shot today, made my whole arm in the area sore, but I'll take that over the Flu any day! Heading out to MI for work tomorrow, and will have to do the travel meals again...not much planned for it as I only get a tiny carry on for this flight, so can't take food. I'll manage but it's gonna be interesting! I'll keep you all posted! Also might be a slight delay in the posts since I am going to be on my IPAD which isn't the most blog friendly for me, but I will do what I can!
Breakfast: Green bean casserole, turkey, Lara bar, and some olives.
Lunch: Finished up some iceberg lettuce, turkey, a few olives, and a cherry pie Lara bar
Dinner: Guacamole salad (guac, romaine, onions, green chile), and then a plate with slow roasted pork, and gluten free red chili.

DAY 130- Thurssday November 28th
Info: First things first Happy Thanksgiving to all of you that celebrate it.
Now on to the good stuff. This year was the 1st where I didn't make myself sick by over eating or eating gluten laden, sugar infested garbage. I found a non hormone injected turkey, made green bean casserole that is Whole30 and Paleo compliant, and followed that up with a casserole of asparagus that followed the same guidelines. The rest of the family had some gluten bomb croissants and stuffing, but I stuck to the meat and veggies! I will be posting quite a few recipes in the next few days so keep an eye out for those if you are interested. The line up so far is:
- Buffalo Chicken soup
- Paleo Green Bean Casserole
- Paleo Cream of Mushroom soup
- Paleo Cream of Celery soup
- Paleo Spiced nuts
Food Log:
Breakfast: Seasoned ground beef, olives, carrots, celery and some iceberg lettuce. Kind of a piece it together meal.

DAY 128- Tuesday November 26th
Info: Well I jumped. CrossFit workout #1 was a success tonight, AND, AND I have video to prove it! The most important thing is, I made it through, and am pumped to keep going! Please be gentle, I know the video isn't the greatest, but I'm balling on a budget here, and I wanted to capture all this stuff and share it with the people that are on the edge of starting or who are just starting out. I will make adjustments and keep getting better.....that's my mantra now, keep getting better! And on the theme of that, not only do you guys get pictures of my dinner tonight, you get video too... let's call it "Dinner and a Movie"

DAY 127- Monday November 25th
Info: So I am starting Crossfit workouts tomorrow. I have been teetering around 200lbs now for a few weeks and I can't handle this beard anymore (which I may add is pretty Paul Bunyan-ey, which also has never happened before...usually I can't grow a beard) If I had to put money on it, I would bet it's because I eat quality foods now.... Anyways I need to break the 200 plateau before I will allow myself to shave....so the workouts are beginning. Back being sore or not it has to happen.

DAY 126 - Sunday November 24th
Info: Today is an exciting day, because the home cured bacon is done!!! Waiting a week was like torture but I made it! I had cured 2 flavors: the 1st was a dry cure that was onion and cracked pepper. This was the one I tore in to today, and man what a good combo. Good amount of saltiness and a great subtle onion and pepper flavor. The second was a wet cure of habanero juice and habanero peppers. I am waiting 10 days for this one, because I want it to be as spicy as possible. Can't wait to give that one a try!
