How Things Evolve
I knew I needed a change a year ago when I went to the doctor and I weighed the most I’ve ever weighed in my life. Long story short, I started eating more whole foods and started to go through different diets. I wanted to juice, but didn’t have a juicer. So I made lots…

What is up with all of this….yawn…what was I talking about?
Where am I? How much time just passed? Did I just fall asleep? Are my two toddlers really pulling all of the wipes out of the container and covering the entire living room floor with them? It could be worse. It has been worse. Remember the pancake batter all over the kitchen floor? That was…

Diving In….will I surface?
I wanted to post something today because I have noticed a HUGE difference between days 1 and 2 of the Whole30 plan and 21DSD. I’m not craving anything! In fact, my biggest complaint is feeling lightheaded, which is probably because I haven’t eaten enough today. Here’s what I made today: Avocado chocolate pudding, cold pork…

21 DSD – Preparation Phase
Wow it’s been awhile since I have posted on here. I was in a pretty good place last October. On the Whole30 plan and making the shift to paleo. Only major life happenings got in the way. Again. That’s like, inevitable. Yes? Our household is not all on board with eating the same. Because of…

An Issue I can't run away from
For a few months now, I’ve been dealing with a strange issue. It has taken a backseat to my kids and JD’s weird neuro whatever that has been going on, so I haven’t really dealt with it. It seems to be getting worse, so I’m writing about it. I don’t know why, but it feels…

Day 4 of Whole30. No quirky lines for you.
I am being reduced to a soulless, primal being. All I want is a venti salted caramel mocha from Starbucks. It’s all I think about. I need to talk about something else. At the end of day two, because I had skipped breakfast (slept through it…a very rare luxury), I needed something at the end…

Day Two. 29 to go.
I’m in the middle of day two. Chicken is roasting. I know that will help with tonight and tomorrow. Because the kids haven’t been letting me sleep this week, JD let me go back to bed this morning when he got up, and I slept until almost 11am! I missed breakfast. Which is vitally important…

Day One >> Whole30 Hard.
This program is already making me feel like a caveman. I want to grunt and growl at everyone. I want to go hunting. For chocolate. It’s all because I want something sweet, and I am post lunch. Even though I had 1/4 of an orange after lunch, which was really sweet. I want processed sugar…

A planned day of epic fails (and other random life happenings).
What is going on today. Today is JD’s and my nine year anniversary, and we have decided to completely indulge in the crappiest of food. Two reasons for this. 1) to get it out of our system…a last hoorah of sorts. 2) to kind of make ourselves feel the food. To feel that it is…

Whole30 in ONE WEEK. Oh crap.
I’m getting my mind in the right condition, and I’m kind of scared crapless about it. I am usually one to impulsively jump into things, and so I wanted to make sure and know that this is something that we definitely want to do. It will take a lot of commitment to stay on the…

It happened again. I swear I’m not this lame usually.
I totally sprained my ankle again yesterday. I am such a klutz. I was just getting into running again, and BAM. I think I need new shoes or something. This time I was holding my son and misstepped off of the front porch, a cement step down. It hurt. So I won’t be running for…
