Paleoful Brownie Mix Review
Ok, you guys! I have to tell you about some brownies I made, from MIX! It was from a company called Paleoful & they are are amazing (and husband approved!). The baked up chewy, and delicious. I have recently had to change to a very restrictive eating plan, and so these are awesome as a treat every other month or so to keep…

Meal Ideas (Root Veg, Healthy Fat, Pasture Animal)
I am attending the Real Food Con this week and one of the presenters today talked about thyroid health- something I struggle with. One suggestion was to eat small meals frequently (something I generally do) and that they should contain: a root vegetable, a healthy fat, and pasture animal. What are some meal ideas with this…

I'm Back, Prepping for May Whole 30
My husband came home from deployment in September and we fell hard off the Paleo bandwagon. We are back to Paleo as we prepare for a May Whole 30 challenge for ourselves.

No Flu Here, Am I Doing It Wrong?
I know there's set way to experience the paleo/primal lifestyle (well, trying to get it 80% of the time!). I started last Friday though and have yet to be struck by this infamous "carb-flu".

Boxing with a HRM- HELP!
My husband and I went out and got some boxing gloves and mouth guards with the intent of doing a little sparring for a good workout. We are waiting on the delivery of our bag stand and bags at the moment. My main question is this: how can I use my Polar FT4 HRM to track it? I set the wristband on the table while we…

Pork Chops with Salsa Beans | 314 calories per serving
It's just me and the hubs over here, so cooking can be daunting! There is always so much left over or I feel like I'm not cooking enough. One of the biggest challenges in losing weight is not only eating better food, but cooking the right proportions! I found this recipe in a Pillsbury e-mail for cooking for two. I changed…

Calories vs the other measures: What do I do?
I have about 550 calories left for the day- that was my lunch! However, I've already surpassed the amount of fat I should have had today by 12! Do I continue in fulfilling the 550 calories or quit since I'm over on the fat? Any advice would help! What do you all do to come as close to the 4 measurements each day?
