Fashion Faux Pas? Totally Worth It!
This weekend marked another military ball for my military marriage. I made a very deliberate and conscious decision not to wear a particular gown because I thought I had worn it last year. Why I didn’t think to look at my Facebook photo album of military events is beyond me, but I did not. About…

Busy Busy, But Staying On Track
I’m still trying to stick to more Paleo than not. I’ve veered off the reservation a couple of times and it was not worth it. I didn’t enjoy the taste and texture of what I was eating and, in some cases, the aftermath of uncomfortable feelings [and even allergic-like reactions] just didn’t do it for…

Finally a Fun Saturday!
My friend, Amy, always knows how to have fun. She throws the best parties [the food is always amazing] and we always have a great time. She invited me to join her this morning at a new business not far from my house. This particular Pinot’s Palette is the first franchise in Ohio. After visiting…

Finally Friday!
This week has been so long! Many evening activities with the girls and lots of projects at work left my refrigerator completely barren. I didn’t even have so much as a clump of grapes to take to work with me today. Usually, I dread going to the grocery store. Today, though? I was stoked. I…

Cauliflower is the New Vinegar
I remember realizing the vinegar could cure so many ills around my house. I wondered why no one had ever told me that. Ever since I realized how awesome vinegar is, I keep at least two huge jugs in the house at all times. I use it for EVERYTHING, even if I’m not quite sure…

Moving Past the Whole 30
Although my Whole 30 ended on the 30th, any attempt to return to even the slightest pre-Whole 30 menu has been met with a wholehearted “are you kidding me” from my body. I think it’s official–there is no turning back now. Tonight, we had a Paleo dinner and even my husband ate it. This is…

Whole 30 — Day 30 Recap
I did it! Whole 30 in the books. I wish I’d measured myself. I can definitely see differences. Plus, I’m wearing clothes I haven’t in quite awhile. I lost 13 pounds which amazes me, especially because I didn’t exercise. Kicking myself on that one too because just imagine where I might be if I had!…

Whole 30 — Day 29
I’ve been juggling pins on my Pinterest boards to make them more detailed–I went from having one board called “Cleaning Up the Eating Act” to three separate boards–this original one, plus a “Whole 30” board and a “Paleo Eats & Treats” board. It will be easier to find things as I begin gathering more and…

Whole 30 — Days 25, 26, 27 and 28
We are in the HOMESTRETCH, people! Closing in on the finish line and I’m excited to successfully finish a Whole 30 for the first time. I’ve successfully survived another week of new student lunches, welcome receptions, etc. without so much as a glance at the sweets and savories I would have loaded a plate with…

Whole 30 — Day 24
Today started with the inaugural use of the Vitamix, aka my new boyfriend. I had a little bit of everything to put in the container–frozen spinach, frozen peach slices, ginger, a beet, a whole clementine, a handful of red grapes and some ice. It was more filling than I imagined it would be and it…
