Week One Paleo and Insanity Recap

Hey everyone! How is your Monday going? Today was my official first day back for a full day and I am loving it so far. The first week of Paleo and Insanity went well. I am down 6 lbs. I have more energy and have been getting strong and more flexible. I am liking this lifestyle.

I got creative yesterday and made a homemade strawberry vinaigrette…it was so good. It took me about 5 min and is a nice light dressing for a summer salad.

For breakfast today I ate some simple eggs and bacon….that is one perk of Paleo and I lurve!

We have yet to go grocery shopping to really stock up…so since I did not pack anything, I decided to go to Subway and got a turkey bacon avocado salad….it was good! (sorry for crappy iPhone pic)

Well off to relax and watch The Big C. Ciao!

Almost Done Setting House Up

Hello everyone! Hope you weekend is going good so far. Today we got a lot done with the house. We hung up all the picture, art, mirrors, deco and it is finally starting to feel like home. We  also went to recycle boxes and take a lot of trash we accumulated while unpacking. At the landfill, I got out to take out the trash and the stench was so bad! I felt like I was gonna vomit. I did this right before going to Whole Paycheck. My hubs laughed at me and said it was good that I was nauseous. He said it is better than shopping hungry….lol. I was still a bit nauseous until we got home.

I officially finished one week of Insanity! I noticed that I had more energy to push through the exercises harder and faster. I definitely feel like my stamina and strength are improving. I will be taking a progress pic tomorrow and will be posting them soon.

For dinner I made “Breaded” Baked Chicken from the Everyday Paleo Cookbook. It came out pretty good. I am not used to the Coconut flour taste yet but it was good. I also made spaghetti squash and sautéed veggies. I really loved the squash and veggies…it was so fresh and good. I also added a lil bacon…yum!

 

 

Well off to bed…I might have pictures of the casita tomorrow depending on how far we get…if not fo sho next week. Night!

Moving In

Well the past couple days have been cray cray. I started Paleo on Monday. Well, I was also watching some late night T.V. and saw the Insanity workout add....well my crazy ass decided to start that on Monday too...what was I thinking?!? What doesn't help is that I had to move furniture and boxes on Tuesday and yesterday. I am so freaked sore and plus I don't have 100% energy because I am transitioning over from a carbaholic to no carbs...wtf!? But overall, I have still been working out through all that is going on.

On Sunday, I decided to fat fat it up knowing that I would be not eating carbs or any yumminess for 30 days. I decided the Cheesecake Factory sounded like a good idea...













Almost forgot to take a pic, to a bite(oops)



While at the mall, I bought my first ever pair of lululemon pants!




Sorry for the ugly hotel comforter pic.


I also tried this for the first time:




Not a big fan.

Here have been a couple of Paleo eats for the past couple of days:








I can honestly say, it hasn't been that bad...I love me some fruit and meat! I hope I can last the whole 30 days...

Well off to unpack...bleh!
