*This week focus on reducing your Sugar Intake

I could do a whole speal on why sugar is bad for you. But, I know you all know that it is. It's very addicting, it causes your blood sugar to spike and drop and it leads to disease! Trust me....you will feel much better and be so much healthier when you reduce or get rid of sugar in your diet. I'd like you to get rid of white sugar. By eating less processed foods, not adding it, cooking with it or anything! I said reduce...because you can still use things like honey, pure maple syrup, stevia if you would like to cook with instead. Do it and feel and see the difference! 

Make some New 30 Day GOALS!

Next weeks added nutrition challenge is NO SODA

I know this will be super hard for some. You might have to deal with a headache for a week or 2. But, I promise you it will be so worth it!!

Reasons to stop drinking soda

1. first of all you'll end up drinking more water if you stop drinking soda. 

2. You'll save money!!

3. Increases your blood pressure

4. Destroys your teeth

5. It may lead to diabetes and other diseases that will also cost you high medical expenses.

6. Will lead you to not be able to lose weight or it will cause you to gain weight. 

7. Is linked to osteoporosis

8. May cause heart disease. Drinking only 1 can of soda per day, regular or diet- is associated with a 48% increased risk of metabolic syndrome, a key processor of heart disease and diabetes." according to the American Heart Association. 

9. Is linked to kidney stones and liver problems. 

10. It contains an ingredient banned in 100 other countries. About 10% of soda flavors contain BVO, or brominated vegetable oil, which is banned by the World Health organization and 100 countries. 

11. Your soda likely contains either aspartame or high fructose corn syrup. If you drink diet soda, your pop has some sort of artifical sweetener. If you drink full-calorie soda, chances are it has high fructose corn syrup. Both of these ingredients are very bad for you!

I could list many more reasons why drinking soda is bad! :) Cut down, do all that you can this week to stay away from it! 

What do you want more? A Healthy body and lifelong health or that soda you wanted in the small moment.

*record your time in the comments

Nutrition focus this week is to drink at least 64 oz of water. 

Drinking enough water is so important not only for your results, but for every part of your body... your organs, processing of your food, your biggest organ on your body- your skin, and soooo much more!!

Most people do not drink enough water. Sometimes when you feel hungry you might actually just be thirsty. Replace those sugary drinks and sodas with Water!!

If you are not taking a multi-vitamin I also want you to get on board with that. Over the counter vitamins usually just sit in your stomache and don't actually give you anything!! Bummer!

If you truly want vitamins and minerals from a supplement to fill in the gap of what you are not getting nutritionally I highly suggest Juice Plus+, a whole foods vitamin.

I don't put my name on a product or start using a product that I have not done the research on. You can walk into a whole foods store and find a whole foods vitamin, but what I love and trust about Juice Plus is all the resarch that backs it up! You can also sponsor a child up to 4 years with every purchase of an adult. Very cool! Very awesome company and product that truly shows results. Less sickness and better overall health! You can never get the amount of fruits and vegetables needed without it. 

I highly recommend you get on Juice Plus. Ships internationally too. Let me know if you have any questions about that. 

One more action step as we begin!!

See my Post about SMARTER Goals.

Post your short term and long term goals in the comments!

You can do this!! I Believe in YOU!

Can't wait to see and hear about your results!

Making the Switch for good: Paleo Lifestyle!

I loved how great I felt doing Whole30.  Had a few vacations/camps this summer and went back to crazy eating for a while.  Nobody's perfect right!? :) But, you know what? I felt like crap...literally sick! I knew I was having an issue with wheat/gluten and dairy, so I tried not to over do it.  But, seriously after going back to sugar for a couple weeks it was hard not to stop and ICECREAM is one of my favorite things.  After eating icecream several different times during those weeks I felt sick everytime & my face would break out bad.  I do have Hypoglycemia/ Insulin resistance and eating grains even if it's gluten free does not make me feel well.  I learned how well I COULD feel while doing Whole30 and totally eliminating grains.  Trying to add them back in has been a nightmare and I have realized it's just not worth it anymore.  I can tolerate brown rice a little bit and gluten free steel cut oats in small portions, but sticking to lots of veggies, some fruit and sweet potato as my main starchy carb makes me feel so much better!

I recently had some major lab tests done {which is quite depressing} but at least I know I haven't been crazy the last couple years and that I knew I really didn't feel well.  I have had regular labs done a few times that said everything was fine.  But, I knew everything was not fine. I decided to see a different doctor to try and figure things out.

She confirmed to me that I do have Hypoglycemia and Insulin Resistance.  I know I have had that for years, so it was nice to have it truly confirmed though. I do have diabetes on both sides biologically and if I don't continue to control it it can lead to diabetes. I have learned to manage it a little bit with clean eating, but I learned to really manage it better with Paleo/Whole30 eating.  Recommended by the Doctor that is what I should do and I can't EVER skip meals, I have to eat every 2 hours and have to always pair a carb with a protein.  I already knew all that as well, but good to know I've been going in the right direction with it.  I also learned that I have a low thyroid, low progesterone, I have enough testosterone but my body doesn't use it efficiently, low vitamin d, low magnesium, my hormone ratios are flipped completely (kind of like PCOS but different), my immune globuline is VERY low which means something is going on in my gut and my immune system could be affected.  I may have a Dairy allergy and Celiac which could be the cause of the low immune globulin I'm guessing.  I have to have a food allergy testing panel done next to confirm all of that.  I now have to see a specialist, an Immunologist to figure things out.  Crazy!! I'm glad to finally know what's going on so I can fix it.

I have decided to make the switch to full time Paleo/primal/Whole30 kind of eating.  This is what will be the best way of eating for me and my health issues.  I believe that food is medicine! I still have to take different vitamins and supplements to help fix my issues and get my hormones balanced and to help control the insulin.  But, I do believe that the way you eat can fix a lot of problems that most people have with their health.  I'm determined to get fully healthy and feel my best!  I already feel better and my skin has begun to get clearer! If you have problems with your health the first place you should start is WITH FOOD!! This plan will not be best for everybody.  I do feel the healthy whole grains are great, I love them and they are healthy carbs.  But, my body does not do well on them. I may have gluten free grains here and there as long as my body will tolerate it. I'm not saying I will be a perfect Paleo/Primal eater. This is a lifestyle, I won't always eat "on plan" or perfectly, but it's about finding the right balance that works for me. Everybody needs to find what exactly works for them! Please let me know if you need help or have questions!

What's the verdict? Whole30- Reintroduction

The last 3 weeks now I have been introducing some foods back into my diet.  After going for almost 2 months without Sugar, Dairy, Legumes & Grains I was curious to add them back in one at a time to see what would happen.  

I first tried Dairy.  Greek yogurt actually tastes ok to me without anything in it.  Normally I would have added some honey or stevia to it.  But, it tasted fine without it. But, still not my favorite.  I could live without it. I tried some cheddar cheese on my salad and it tasted so gross.  What? I use to love Cheese.  As a child my favorite snack was cheese.  No wonder why I always had a stomache ache. :) I also had a glass of milk. Wow, almost instantly I began to bloat and I had the worst stomache ache!! Dairy causes me gas, bloating and stomache pains. :( No good! Not sure if the yogurt and maybe cottage cheese would absorb differently than say a glass of milk would.  But, I also tried some whey protein and it did the same thing to me.  Tried some icecream too and I did not feel good after.  Also, could be the sugar. Dairy also causes me to breakout.  I feel like I have had skin issues for years and I'm almost positive now that it's from the foods I have been eating. Besides Ice cream I will not miss Dairy at all.  I'm sure I will have ice cream every once in a while from now on, but I know I won't feel good afterwards.  So, not sure if it will be worth it. :/

I tried grains and also gluten free grains and about 10 minutes after I felt so wiped out.  They drained me and I instantly felt sleepy.  I also had a stomache ache.  I couldn't tell much of a difference between the gluten and gluten free grains.  I may try to stick with gluten free grains for a while and see if I feel good or not.  The only things I really would want to have is Brown rice and Gluten free oats especially for baking.  We will see.
For info on what has gluten and what's gluten free this is a great source.

                              

Sugar gives me a huge headache, brings on the Hypoglycemia symptoms and makes my tummy feel sick!! It also causes me to want more and more even though I feel sick after.  It's an addiction...so bad.  Now I'm at the point where I feel like I can't stop...but I will! Although it's super hard.  I'm afraid that once I go back to the Whole30 way of eating that I won't ever be able have sweets because I won't be able to control myself.  But, we will see. I think having them once in a while in moderation and only when it's something I really like, then I would want it.  But, I want to feel in control!! It's a work in progress.

                                

I tried some Legumes like peanuts, peanut butter and black beans.  I think by this point I was already a mess from everything else.  Even though I spaced this all out trying a little here and a little there for about a week or more.  I still felt like since I was such a mess from a combination from everything that I tried I'm not really sure if the Legumes phased me or not. I may try them again later.  But, honestly after trying peanut butter....I realized I didn't even miss it like I thought I would.  I tried some of my homemade peanut butter and I didin't even have to add honey to it like I normally would.  It tasted fine without it.  But, I realized I like Almond Butter way more.  Weird, I know! I'm normally a Peanut butter girl.

*After reintroducing things back in for a little over a week I then went to camp.  We had amazing cooks that made all of our meals and snacks.  I did have a great time, but ate everything they gave us.  I didn't bring any of my own food and I didn't want to be a pain for them and not eat the food they made us.  And I ate every meal and every yummy snack they gave us.  I admit it was sooooo yummy! I did go a little crazy! I figured I was eating "dirty" all week, I might as well make the most of it...haha. But, I felt sick all week long!  My stomache constantly hurt, constipation, bloating and such major pains that I almost couldn't move...sorry TMI, but it was not good.  I felt so sluggish and tired.  This is a Testament to me that my Body Loves the Whole30 way of eating.  I never knew my body could feel so good.  I am excited to get back to it and  I have got to kick these sugar cravings to the curb again!!

Whole 30 Complete!!

I actually finished my Whole30 a couple weeks ago.  The only reason I stopped was because I was getting ready to go to camp and we had cooks that would be cooking each of our meals and I didn't want to be a pain for them and not eat what they cooked or ask for something different.  So, I finished my whole 30 and I wanted to start adding stuff back in to see how my body reacted and if there was something I absolutely should stay away from at camp. 

But, before I get into that here are a few things I ate the last week or so of my Whole 30. :)

The Naked burger again :) This time I grilled some peppers and put those on top along with a grilled pineapple.  I also added a little mustard.  I didn't realize my mustard was compliant and I'm not usually a huge fan of mustard.  But...this was oh so tasty!! Loved it!

Burrito Bowl made with broccoli slaw and ground beef and some toppings!  Yum!!

Sweet potato, zuchini and egg fritata! I actually liked it! I got the idea from THIS RECIPE. I just had a triangle each time and was able to split it into a few seperate meals. This is a great one to make ahead of time to have something easy to grab.

Sweet Potato and carrot cakes.  Yummy! I used these for a few seperate meals. Also makes for something easy to crab when you need.

It felt great to finish my Whole 30, especially since my first attempt I only got to Day 22.  So I guess this wasy my 2nd round and I FINISHED!! I really didn't want to stop, but I was worried about eating stuff at camp and not knowing what I should stay away from. 

What I learned during my Whole 30

*I learned that Fat is not the enemy.  I learned that Healthy fats help me feel full. 

 *I learned how important good sleep is.  

*I learned how hare it is to detox your body of all the junk (even though I thought before that I was eating pretty healthy...since I was eating pretty clean). My body still didn't like some of the things I was eating on my "clean eating" nutrition. Everybody is different and you need to figure out what your body likes and doesn't. 

*I have learned that I feel free without constantly dealing with Hypoglycemia symtoms and brain fog from eating processed foods and any kind of sugar. Sugar is in EVERYTHING and I have learned how much better my body feels without it!

*I have learned that when you start eating this way you no longer have cravings for sweets or junk food.  It didn't even phase me to be around them. But, when I start back up eating sweets I want more and more of them! :(

*I have learned more about good food to fuel my body and how great I can actually feel.  I didn't realize how horrible I actually felt before this. 

Wow...I feel like I learned a lot more that just can't be explained and that food does not control me.  Eating this way helps me feel more in control of my body.  My stomache was flatter, I had more confidence.  I lost 8 lbs and 1.5 inches on my waist and 1.5 on my hips.  Yay!!

I love Whole30! :)

Whole 30- I made it past Day 22 :)

I can't believe I'm almost done with my Whole 30.  My last attempt I only made it to Day 22 and I pretty much started right over after I slipped up.  So, I have been eating this way for almost 2 months with a little slip in between.  I love it!! I never thought I would love eating like this.  I am eating way more veggies than I use to and I don't really miss the things that I thought I would.  I want to go longer.  I am excited to reintroduce things one by one to finally know how my body reacts to certain things.  Today I am finishing up Day 27! WooHoo! I'm starting to feel more energy too. I'm still experimenting with finding the best Carb/Protein/Fat ration for me. Everybody's body is different.  Some like to do a 40/40/20 split. 40% Carbs, 40% Proteins, 20% Fats.  Some don't do well with that. I've been trying that ratio, but I do eat more fats than that. Luckily it's Healthy Fats. Just not sure if cutting back on those will help me be a little more successful with this.  So, I'm trying to figure it out. Somethings I have been trying to do the last couple days is up my carbs and eat the majority of my starchy carbs in the first part of the day.  Things like Sweet Potato and Fruit more in the first part of the day and not so much in the last.  I workout in the morning and eating more carbs after that is essential to keep up my energy. It seems to help. It should start helping with my nightly sweet cravings too.

Here are a few things I had the last couple weeks...

Salmon patties- I get a craving for these at least every 2 weeks.  They are super easy.  I don't really follow a recipe I just wing it..haha.  I do that with a lot of things.  I use wild caught salmon, I believe it's "chicken of the sea" brand that I usually get. I add an egg, some coconut flour or almond flour, celery, parsley, salt and pepper.  I pan fry them in the coconut oil or olive oil.  Add lemon juice before eating. It's easy to put what ever protein you are having on a bed of spinach leaves to get those extra veggies in.  I just paired this with some sliced cucumbers and avacado.  Lemon juice and salt/pepper on everything!

I had some Salmon patties left over, so I had them the next day with a side of fresh green beans, some tropical fruit and olives.

Grilled Pineapple with Coconut Butter- This sweet treat is one of my new favorites.  The picture does not do it justice.  It's super good and super sweet! Pineapple does have a ton of natural sugar, so I know I shouldn't have this too often, especially at night. Grilled (or baked in my case) pineapple.  I put clarified butter on each slice, bake at 400 for 10 minutes and flip, add more clarified butter or Ghee and cook for another 10 minutes or until tender and grilled just how you like it. I topped it with my Homemade Coconut Butter. I top everything with that. :) It really was a great combo.

Grilled Chicken, Sweet potato Chips and watermelon mojito salad

My chips look burned..haha, but still were awesome! The Watermelon/cucumer salad was awesome too.  

This is another go to treat. :) Simple. If I don't make it into icecream with frozen bananas, I just use fresh sliced bananas.  Add some berries or other fruit, warm coconut butter (of course) and crushed pecans or almonds on top.  Yummy! Now if I can just stop craving this at night!! I need to stop eating fruit and "treats" at night!! But, hey it's better than indulging in processed carbs and junk! Right!?

Day 28 here I come! 

Sweet Potato Fries!!

I have come to LOVE Sweet Potatoes.  I have them almost everyday especially if I do a tough workout in the morning they are a great Pre or Post workout food paired with a good protein. I usually work out really early in the morning so I'll just grab a banana or an egg muffin before I workout. Then I'll do Sweet Potato and Eggs or something like that normally after my workout in the morning.

I tried Sweet Potato Fries a few months before I strated Whole 30 and I hated them!! I was trying to be hopeful about Sweet Potatoes because they are so good for you.  But, I just couldn't do it for some reason, not sure if it was the recipe or if my taste buds have just changed so much from doing Whole 30.  

I really love This Sweet Potato Fry recipe.  They are delish and my husband and family will eat them too!!

What you will need:

3 Sweet Potatoes, washed, and cubed into chunky pieces with skin on

1/4 cup olive oil

1-2 tsp minced garlic (I love garlic so I always use at least 2 tsp)

1 1/2 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp cumin

Sea salt

Preheat Oven to 425 

Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix well

Pour out and spread onto a baking sheet, make sure they are not touching and bake for approx. 20-25 minutes (making sure to flip at least once)

Yummy!

Also great to pair them with a "Naked" burger :) So good!

I also tried these Sweet Potato Chips recently!!! Mmmmmm....I love them as long as I don't burn them! :)

A couple other ways I like to cook sweet potatoes is just to simply bake them or put them in the microwave :) and add clarified butter and cinnamon. Or I will dice them up and cook them in Coconut Oil on low-med until tender and a little crisp on the outside.  I will either add salt and pepper or cinnamon.

What are some of your favorite ways to Prepare Sweet Potatoes?

Paleo Pancakes!

These can really be dangerous if you fully aren't able to conrol your sugar cravings yet :) When I first had these I felt like it kicked off more sugar cravings for me during my first Whole 30. But, I am able to have these once in a while now when I feel like I need something other than just eggs and it's just what I need for a different breakfast! I love them!

I got the recipe HERE- Cinnamon and Coconut Pancakes!

It will make about 12 pancakes 3 " in diameter:

• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons full fat coconut milk (I did use almond milk once when I was out of coconut milk, it worked ok, something about it made it a little hard to flip the pancakes.)
• ½ mashed ripe banana (about 2 tablespoons)
• ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1½ tablespoons of organic coconut flour (I got mine from amazon)
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 small pinch of salt
• ghee or coconut oil (for frying)

I always put all the ingredients in a blender to blend well, cook them and they are so yummy with coconut butter or almond butter and berries. Sometimes I'll also sprinkle coconut flakes on top! :)

Spaghetti Squash and Meatballs

I have never tried Spaghetti squash.  It's so cool!! Cooking it this way it wasn't mushy at all, it had a perfect texture. It does have a different texture than actual spaghetti noodles, but it came pretty close!

I was happy with the turnout.

My kids ate this!! They could tell it was a little different, but they still ate it.  My husband new something was up... :) and he wasn't too sure about it, but he ate it.  He's not good at trying new things especially if it has to do with vegetables.  If it's any sort of veggie he doesn't like he will automatically think it's gross without trying it.  So, he took a couple bites and then asked what it was and I told him.  He then was kind of mad :) and didn't want to eat it, but he did! :) Oh goodness!! What am I going to do with him? 

Spaghetti Squash and Meatballs
1 large spaghetti squash, cut in half and seeds removed

Sauce:
2 tbs coconut oil
1 1/2 cups diced white onion
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups strained tomatoes or tomato sauce (I used tomato sauce...read labels and make sure no sugar or crazy ingredients added, I ended up getting a kroger brand)
3 heaping TBS tomato paste (look at labels)
1 TBS dried basil
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp sea salt

Meatballs:
1 lb lean ground beef
1 lb ground pork (I used ground turkey)
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 TBS dried basil
1/2 TBS dried oregano
2-3 garlic cloves, minced

1. Preheat the oven to 450. In a large baking dish, place the squash cut side down and add 2 inches of water. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the insides of the squash can easily be removed with a fork.
3. Meanwhile, while your squash is baking start your sauce.  In a large stockpot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat and saute the onions until translucent.
4.  Add the garlic and saute for another minute or two or just until the garlic is fragrant.
5.  Add the strained tomatoes (or tomato sauce) and tomato paste and mix well.
6. Add the remaining spices, bring the sauce to a simmer, and turn heat down to low.
7. Use your hands to mix the spices in the ground beef and pork.
8.  Form the meat mixture into small golf ball-size meatballs and drop these gently into the simmering tomato sauce.
9. Once all the meatballs are in the sauce, cook for 10 minutes or until the meatballs are no longer pink in the middle. (next time I might try cooking the meatballs in a seperate pan for a little bit and then add them to the sauce)
10.  Scrape the insides of the cooked spaghetti squash out with a fork (it's so cool that it comes out like spaghetti) and serve topped with the meatballs and sauce.

Fitness Friday!

Happy Fitness Friday! 

I have really felt great as I have started running again.  I love it! I'm starting out slow since my Tonsillectomy but it's coming back pretty naturally, even though the heat is somewhat of a killer at around 110 for the summer :)  But, no excuses....I'm doing it!! I've been switching off days with Turbo Fire & Running.  It's been the first week of the challenge & It's a great motivator to keep me going, I hope it's great for those of you involved too!!

Wherever you are in your Health & Fitness there is no better time to start.  The hardest part IS STARTING! So, just go and do it! Get moving, get healthy & feel great!

Health & Fitness is a combination of Exercise & Nutrition.  I know you've heard it before and you will hear it again.  There is no quick fix pill or solution {you gotta come to grips with that}....the Absolute and most trusting BEST way to Health IS Exercise & Nutrition.  Something that helps me with the nutrition part is my Meal Replacement Shake.  

I know I'm getting all the extra vitamins and nutrients I need and it gives me more energy, keeps me fuller and curbs my chocolate cravings.  I will never go with out.  It has become very valuable to my nutrition. Shakeology & Exercise is helping me so much! I feel better than ever!

Have a super great weekend!
