Whole30 Week 4

Day 22 - January 25, 2016

The homestretch (kind-of, since we'll be going a bit past 30 days)!  Day 22 of Round 1!  

M1:  2 over-medium fried eggs, sweet potato & sausage hash, topped with salsa verde guacamole. 

M2:  leftover BBQ ribs, paleo potato salad & balsamic sautéed squash. 

M3:  leftover balsamic sautéed squash, cauliflower mash, leftover orange-pineapple chicken in a spaghetti squash boat, and a sparkling water with blackberries!  

Day 23 - January 26, 2016


Wow!  Just Wow!  Definitely feeling that "downhill slope"!  Day 23 of our first round!  

We did NOT do any shopping this last weekend, and are literally cleaning out the fridge before our next grocery trip!  Thankfully, we've overbought the last 3 weeks!  😜

Breakfast:  pumpkin sautéed in ghee, and 2 fried eggs.  

Lunch:  tuna salad, with celery, carrots, tomatoes, & avocado, over a bed of romaine! 

Dinner:  leftover roast (with a few potatoes & carrots, some leftover potato salad & a bit of BBQ sauce (recipe from happy wifestyle)!  

I think I've slacked on my water a bit, as my lips are all dry & cracked!  Kicking myself back into gear on that one!  

Day 24 - January 27, 2016


Day 26 - January 28, 2016


Round 1, Day 25! 

Breakfast:  pumpkin & sausage scramble with scrambled eggs & avocado verde guacamole.  

Lunch:  leftover spaghetti squash & orange chicken with avocado slices.  

Dinner:  grilled steak, roasted potato slices & green beans and tomatoes. 

Day 26 - January 29, 2016


Round 1, Day 26:  I have to say, today was the hardest yet.  We didn't grocery shop this week, so finishing up what we had in the house, and it's getting a little sparse.  Also, at least 3/4 of us appear to be getting sick (including me).  I want comfort food SOOOOOOO badly!  Determined to stick out the last 4 days though!

Breakfast:  pumpkin, sausage, egg scramble, topped with avocado. 

Lunch:  turkey burger patty, on lettuce, a Roma tomato & carrot and celery sticks.  (Lunch was on the run, because my kids had a dentist appointment after school). 

Dinner:  roasted spaghetti squash, with "spaghetti meat sauce" and prosciutto on top!  Thanks, Papa Bear, for the comfort food!!!

Day 27 - January 30, 2016


Day 28 - January 31, 2016


Round 1, Day 28!!!!  Wow!  Is it really almost finished?!?!  I am strangely excited for reintroduction - we'll be doing the "slow-roll" that Melissa mentioned in her periscope broadcast yesterday!  Pretty sure we'll mostly stay gluten-free, with very little dairy & added sugars.  

Breakfast:  egg, sausage scramble, topped with red pepper sauce, and spinach sautéed in ghee!  

Lunch:  tuna salad, over romaine, with guac, tomatoes, & cucumbers.  

Dinner:  BBQ'd steak, topped with chimichurri, and cauliflower mash.

Whole30 Round 1 Before & After

Image
Papa & Mama Bear recently completed our first round of the Whole30 (www.whole30.com).  It has been a truly amazing experience!  We have learned & grown & lost!  But, there is truly NOTHING that compares to how we feel!!!  Together, we have learned that we CAN do this!  We supported one another & thrived our way through the process!   We are now aware of what is in our foods, what we are putting in our bodies! Who knew that there was added soy in tuna fish?!  Who knew that every cut of deli meat has sugar in it?  Who really thought about the extra sweeteners & preservatives in EVERYTHING??  I know that some people knew, but I didn't realize until going through this process!   How we handled the Whole30 with our children:  We did not force Little Miss Muffet (4 1/2 years) & Little Jack Horner (2 1/2 years) to go through the process with us.  We kept peanut butter & jelly, bread, cheese, yogurt & milk in the house, and even candy/chocolate around.  Papa

New Beginnings ... In August ... 2017

INTRODUCING ... BABY BEAR Since I am so, very far behind in our life's story - I figured I would catch up by sharing some pictures and stories about the kids who bless my life.  Baby Bear was born in August 2017, after my saddest loss in 2016.  We know for a fact that he was meant to come, because as his Daddy went to cut his umbilical cord, it was so large & strong, that it was a challenge to cut.  If you remember, the reason I lost the baby in 2016 was because her umbilical cord was twisted & too small.  So - I believe that she sent him to us with all of the strength that she didn't have.   We count this little rainbow baby an immense blessing, as the conclusion of our family!   He was immediately adored by Daddy Bear, Sister Bear & Brother Bear, and all of his Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles & Cousins, too.   I spent 2 days in the hospital (standard stay with a c-section), just getting to know him, with his Daddy.   One thing I noticed right away

When Life Rocks the Boat, and You end up Treading Water...

I am so sorry that I've been gone for so long.  After I lost the baby in June, I shut down.  I found myself in depression worse than I've dealt with since I was first diagnosed.  Even Post-partum depression, which I suffered greatly after Little Jack Horner was born, paled in comparison.   I am beyond grateful for the family and friends who stood by my side, held my hand, watched me cry & break down, and just stuck around.  That wasn't everyone, though.  A few friends decided that it was too much for them to handle & vanished from my life.   As summer came to a close, our Homeschool journey began.  Life began to roll into a full swing.  My Bible Study & Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) groups resumed & life. went. on.  Without my baby.   Little Miss Muffet started playing soccer this year!  Her Dad & I coached the team!  She was a superstar & really enjoyed it.  Little Jack Horner is desperate to be old enough, next year, to play.   We traveled to Utah
