Info: I hate to do it. I really hate to do it.....but this is going to be a mass update post. I got way behind and do not want to let this go anymore so I am just going to bang it all our in one big update. I apologize for getting behind, but as you will see in a minute I have a very good reason for it! Thanks to all of you that still come and check on the blog, hopefully you are keeping after it and getting results! I am going to toss down a quick summary of the last 3 weeks for you and make this delay a littler clearer...here goes......./takes a deep breath.


Unemployment told me I was SOL, even though my claim is good until Feb of next year and I have been searching for a job relentlessly. No good reason really other than sorry dude. So the job search jumped to the front burner rather quickly...and it is a real pain to find something that isn't just minimum wage. Next up on the full plate was school starting again. I had to knock it back to two classes once I found out the job search was at a premium, but that is still a pretty full load coupled with everything else that is going on. And last but definitely not least my daughter was born on Sunday night!!! I won't even go in  to that other than to say that's a whole other time sink in itself!

 

Let me introduce you to Sanne (pronouced Sah-na) which is Dutch for Lily.

On the way out the door, getting serenaded by the volunteers.

 
Food Log: This section will return when the regular updates start flowing again tomorrow
 
 

I'll leave a note that the food has all been compliant except when the baby was coming, I ate some pizza for a few meals. The hospital wasn't terribly Whole30 friendly!

Exercise: Same as above.

Day N39 - Tuesday September 9th

Info: Getting back in to the swing of things, got some bulk olive oil mayo made and a huge quart jar of zucchini butter made as well. Thawing a bunch of proteins as we speak to restock that too.Bulk cooking I have found is key to my success with Paleo eating. Such a time saver and a craving stopper when I have Paleo foods ready to eat and don't allow my mind to wander! I am starting a job tomorrow so I have to pack Paleo foods to take with me! This is likely just a temporary job as I continue the hunt, but it is money coming in so that's a plus LOL. Anyways glad to be back in the swing of things, I look forward to sharing with you all again

I swear this is what my kitchen feels like as I try to get caught up on all my bulk cooking.

Exercise:  Exercise log to return tomorrow

Day N43 - Saturday September 13th

Info: So I got in touch with a company that makes portable paleo meals. I was at the Centennial Gun Clubs 1st annual firearms festival and saw a car advertisement. (They are called Paleo Meals to Go, check them out here) I gave them a call and they sent me some samples to try out. They are also generous enough to offer to do a give away with us here at the Whole360! Its a local Colorado company which is awesome and they make some great stuff! Look for that contest soon as well as a full review on the products!
