This is how/why I can believe in evolution as a Catholic Christian. . . I’m constantly evolving and I’m convinced we aren’t the same humans as Adam & Eve. Life happens. Society happens. Ideas arise and fall. Life evolves. Right now, I’m going backward again. For a while I was pretty strict purist Paleo- no […]
Of the detox. 🙂 Officially today is the last day, but we are going off plan tonight as it’s Kelsey’s 8th birthday and she’s requested gluten free pizza. Since Daddy Grok has been craving pizza like a mad man, we are going for it! I have a feeling he will be sick tomorrow as he’s […]
We have reached day 17 of the 21 Day Sugar Detox. Hubs is doing awesome (which is shocking), I’ve been a bit more lenient now that pregnancy nausea has set in. I’m still being careful, but I’ve added a bit of sweetener to drinks so that I can get more than water in (Dr’s orders […]
Looks like we are carrying not one but THREE little beans in there. Wowsa. Can you say pregnancy brain? I’m also beyond exhausted. . . so forgive my slackness in posting. I’ll try to stay caught up. In our PlanetBox– we have a hard boiled egg, carrot sticks, applesauce, banana, and little balls of goodness […]
Day 11 Breakfast- EGGS! Lunch- This crunchy salad! Organic greens, organic diced carrots, sunflower seeds (salted), olive oil & balsamic, topped with a bit of aged cheddar. Dinner – Red Lobster. Mama had scallops, shrimp, & chicken. Daddy had steak & shrimp. Yum-o. Lunch for the kidlets- coconut flour donut, deli ham, olives, carrots & […]
Breakfast was plain scrambled eggs (same ole). Lunch today- Doesn’t that look DELICIOUS?!?! It was. The bottom is 2/3 of a “loaf” of quick bread from Paleo Indulgences. I toasted it and topped with butter. Then I added over medium eggs and sliced up a bit of hand made marinated cheese (spicy!). In the end, […]
The baby wants a bowl of Rice Chex. No joke, people. (Insert flashback to Look Who’s Talking- baby pulling on the umbilical cord “Get some apple juice down here”.) Mama’s staying strong. Daddy’s staying strong, except he’s drinking some calorie free vitamin water. . . he has a “problem” with plain water. I’m under Dr’s […]
So, I’m already a slacker and didn’t post our Sugar Detox update for day 8 (yesterday) oops. Blame it on the pregnancy hormones making me so tired I barely made it through dinner. Speaking of dinner, Daddy Grok’s parents and Grandma joined us for dinner. Grandma lives 3 hours away and we haven’t seen her […]
We’ve successfully completed week one. Two to go! Today we had leftover steak chopped up and scrambled with eggs. Mama went a little Grok and ate a banana followed by cold steak (instead of the eggs, they didn’t sound good). For lunch we had leftovers, we had an accumulation of choices in the fridge. Dinner- […]
Daddy Grok kindly refrained from stepping on the scale today. 🙂 He’s still fighting the urge to munch, but otherwise feeling pretty good. Considering all the crap food he consumed before we started this, it’s shocking. Now that the cat is out of the bag, I can share with you here- Mama Grok is expecting […]
