Greyson and Paleo

     While many of you are still unsure of this thing called Paleo, I'm rolling along and feeling almost as good as I was Pre-Greyson. I've found a new awesome Crossfitting gym(http://www.facebook.com/pages/CrossFit-Regeneration/217953861620176) that has child care and I can finally (11 months later) do something for myself. I'm starting to feel like my old self. Well, not entirely like my old self. Seems birthing a child takes a toll on your body, who would have thought it. Not to mention, Greyson is kind of like the ever growing child. He was teething at 3 months, and got his first tooth at 5 months, then came 5 more right after and currently he's working on 7 and 8 and also appears to possibly be getting some back molars? This first year has been rough on all of us.

Now that he's almost one and he's starting a Mothers Day Out program (Hallelujah) I've got to start packing him a lunch. I even bought him his own lunch bag today. I didn't think I'd have to do that for a while. So its time to start thinking of what can I pack him that will be easy to eat, paleo friendly, and not to much work for the dear sweet ladies taking care of him. Packing your child's lunch doesn't have to be difficult. You add meats, fruits, veggies and nuts. Sounds simple doesn't it? Well it is, it's only as complicated as you make it. Also I've found a cool bakery that makes paleo bread. Do WHAT??? Yep, that's right paleo bread. Check them out here, http://www.julianbakery.com/.  It does seem to simplify my life when I want a quick snack or if I'm craving some of that wheat, grain filled lead that seems to upset my whole body chemistry when I eat it. Bread people. I'm talking about bread.

Speaking of paleo breads, guess what Greyson is getting for his first birthday? A paleo birthday cake! Yahhhh I know you are all so excited for him. I found a very cool company online that has mixes, paleo, gluten free etc, that you can purchase and then bake yourself, http://www.whitelionbakingco.com/. The owner is super sweet and just took it over 2 months ago from another couple. She has all kinds of awesome mixes and recipes that you can purchase from her.

I love how all the Paleo community comes together and offers advice and support to one another. I feel like we are making more progress within the community and teaching more people every day about a healthier lifestyle.

Anywhoooo..my child is in bed and I better put myself there since we have yet another busy day tomorrow.

Day of LoooVeee

Valentines Day is just around the corner..and you know what that means. Time to break out the kinky... People act like its a love kind of holiday and sweet this and sweet that but really everyone just is waiting to break out the leather and lace and Get it On! (except for me mom, I'm still a virgin)

In case you do decide to go with something sweet, something thoughtful along with whatever else floats your boat, here are a few of my favorite things. Not that you should get me something, (although that isn't a bad idea..) but in case you've run out of ideas after 10, 20 or 30 years of blissful togetherness.

1. Maximum Fitness Gift Certificate (www.maxfitstudio.com) for yourself from your loved one. See if you buy it for yourself from them, then you want to look better for them right? Less Jiggle more wiggle.
2. A Massage gift certificate. I mean who on their right mind wouldn't want a massage? It's relaxing AND beneficial. I recommend Tommy Rosseli down at The Wave Salon in Shepherdsville. He's helped me a lot.
3. A boudoir session from Shanna Simpson photography (AKA  Sassified by Shanna http://www.shannasimpson.com/blog ). Once you get in shape and get your relaxation on, you'll be ready to go for the photo shoot.
4. Dance lessons that you can go to together. Davey and I are going to do this very soon. I'll let you know how this goes seeing as we both are very "white" dancers...but hey..the couple who laughs together stays together.
5. A night in Indianapolis and stay at the Crowne Plaza (http://www.crowneplaza.com/hotels/us/en/home/clarify) and stay in the train car. All the night life is within walking distance including a huge mall. I actually got engaged here and love going back once a year.

Questions, Comments please email me. Concerns please file it in my complaint box located at the North Pole. All items must be hand delivered to be received.

Until we meet again.

Top Ten Reasons why you should.....

Many times (pre skinny body, not to be confused with this post baby weight now,different issue) I said to myself. Ehhh I feel like crap about my body, but my husband hasn't complained so..what's the point. The point was: I felt like crap. I didn't want to be naked, but I still wanted to be wanted. I went up another size in jeans and I was like well, my old ones probaby shrank in the dryer. I'll know not to buy that brand anymore. Or I thought, hmmm sizes must be running smaller these days. I'll get the bigger size to be more comfortable. All these lies I told myself to make myself feel better. It's so easy to lie to ourselves isn't it. A picture is worth a thousand words and when I finally saw myself in this picture. It was Game On and I joined Maximum Fitness.
