I've been slacking..

Luckily only on my blogging, not my exercising. ;)

I'm into Week 2 of TurboFire and still going strong.  My workouts are getting easier and easier and I can definitely tell that I'm getting my stamina back.. it feels good! This is the farthest I've made it into a round of TurboFire without missing any workouts.  I can't explain how proud of myself I am.  I'm so excited to keep going.

I fell off the wagon quite a bit this weekend with my food though, enough to completely void my Whole30.  I haven't given up on my eating however.  I may not be in the Whole30 anymore, but I am sticking with paleo. I may not be 100% strict paleo all the time, but I don't let little cheats here and there convince me to give up entirely.  I am still so motivated to get healthy and lose this weight!

Tonight's dinner was PaleOMG's Artichoke Lemon Pesto Chicken "Pasta".  It's one of my favorite paleo recipes and has made me obsessed with artichokes.  I love them.

I know it doesn't look appetizing.. but it is soooo yummy. 

I'm going to have to cut this short tonight because I am exhausted and need to get my sweaty butt in the shower so I can go to bed.  I just want to say that this blog has already been great for my accountability and I am thankful for all of my viewers.  (All 4 of you! ;)) Goodnight!

Day 1 Recap

Well yesterday was my first day getting back in routine.  I stuck to paleo for the most part, but wasn't super strict on myself.  We also did the Day 1 video for TurboFire.  It was a lot of fun and we got a good sweat going!

I'm SO glad that I have Jodi to hold me accountable and do TurboFire with me.  I've been so exhausted the past couple days, I really don't think I'd do it if she wasn't coming over to do it with me.  I don't know what my problem is, I've been getting 8+ hours of sleep every night, but the past three days it just has seemed like that isn't enough.  This being exhausted crap is also killing my ability to stay on track with paleo.  I'm literally falling asleep at my desk and caved and got a Pepsi so I could have some caffeine.  That combined with my ridiculous addiction to cream cheese and triscuit crackers (which are extremely non-paleo) = not a great start to my day so far.  I have lunch and dinner planned out for the rest of the day though, so as long as I stick with it I should be okay.

Tonight for dinner I'm trying Juli Bauer's (PaleOMG) Cilantro Chicken "Nuggets" recipe.  I already have some ground turkey on hand though, so I guess I'll be making Turkey "Nuggets" instead.  I'll be sure to let you know how they turn out!  I love all of her recipes and her blog is definitely my go-to source for delicious paleo meals.  Check her out!
