So...it's been a while, I know.
I feel like life has been super busy, and I don't exactly know why.
It's like I get to the end of the week and think, "It's Saturday already?!"
So needless to say, blogging hasn't been happening if I don't even know what day of the week it is.
But better late than never right?!
A lot has been going on around here...
Cora Fayne is 9 months old!
So crazy!! She's definitely turning into a beautiful young lady with lots of personality :)
She can do the sign for 'milk' which she usually does anytime she sees me.
She can eat with her fingers like a big girl.
She really only likes meat.
She doesn't like fruit and most veggies, but not common ones.
She likes spinach and broccoli, but not mashed potatoes! Silly girl.
She's crawling on her knees some, but mostly just an army crawl.
She says 'dada' for both me and Graham. :)
The boys are wonderful as well. This is them excited to eat broccoli! haha
They can be silly too. :)

Graham and I have recently started Crossfit, which is amazing!
And have recently adopted a Paleo way of eating.
Graham had been taking some MMA (mixed martial arts) classes at a gym in Atlanta called Unit2 and one of his coaches mentioned a 30 day Paleo/Crossfit challenge.
I had been going on and on about Crossfit for months and had been trying to implement Paleo into my diet for a couple of weeks, so he came to me excited and told me about the challenge.
I started on Saturday January 28 and the challenge runs through Saturday February 25.
It's 30 days of eating only Paleo from the book
Crossfitting at least 3 days a week with two other active days
(exercise of our choice).
Plus we did a performance test last Saturday, and will do one again at the end and compare the results.
My results from the first performance test:
1 mile run - 9:15
Max push-ups in one minute - 29
Max sit-ups in one minute - 23
Not bad if you ask me!
So far I'm loving everything about it. The food tastes great.
And Crossfit is new and fun and VERY challenging.
Both the hubs and I have been enjoying it and the results we are getting!
I'll keep you guys posted as I go along.
And will probably do some posts with more details about
both Crossfit and Paleo.
The Paleo Solution
And just a warning...most of my recipe posts will probably be paleo recipes from now on!
But it won't kill you to try it!
I've been amazed at how much the boys have embraced the paleo lifestyle.
We all have the same favorite breakfast (which helps with cooking/preparing in the morning!):
scrambled eggs
slice of ham (no nitrates)
fruit (usually berries or an apple)
Give it a try and see how you feel! Better yet, see how your kids feel! I think they feel so much better after breakfast and all morning when they eat a healthy breakfast as opposed to waffles or toast with jelly smeared all over it.
And as soon as I get my hands on the before and after pics that we took I'll post those too!
Alright, well I hope this posts finds you all well and look for more posts soon!
Have an awesome week, y'all! :)
xoxo,
Heather
