As of last Saturday, I have taken on Advocare's 24 day challenge. I am just winding down day 6. I can't believe how great I feel. As I have embarked on this journey, I'm realizing more and more how much I love to cook. I always had a passion for cooking when I was younger; however, as life got more hectic the cooking became less frequent. Chris and I have dedicated 2 nights a week for preparing our meals. When we first decided to try out the paleo lifestyle we knew it was going to take some dedication and quite a bit of time needed to be set aside for preparation. We had no idea how much fun we would have and how much closer it was going to bring us. Having an eight month old in the house it has become challenging to fit in time for just the 2 of us. This has kind of become our alone time together and I had no idea how much enjoyment we would get out of it. We really get the chance to work as a team and set up a preparation system. Before we knew it we were laughing hysterically at each other and a few food fight might have taken place. The reward of our "hard work" has paid off in so many ways: together we are taking a step towards making our lives healthier together while enjoying each other company in the process.
Chris is a great cook, but he's also a picky meat and potatoes type of guy. So we've had the chance to put our brains together and figure out alternative recipes that would fit into the paleo criteria. As time goes on, I will be sharing some of our favorite recipes that we have put together. I already have a few that I will be posting within the next day or two. Keep checking back for more updates.
