Adding in the other piece of the puzzle

I always have a hard time deciding what to include on a blog - it seems like i go off on bunny trails of fitness, nutrition, birth, natural living, homeschool - and it's rarely the same thing twice.

So this blog i am dedicating to my husband's favourite hobby - fitness and nutrition!

We've already posted quite a few posts about going paleo, but i think it's time to add in the workouts - i already post them at my other blog, as part of a "moms of many exercise challenge", but i'll post them too, because it gives a better view of what we are doing as a couple - and fitness has a lot to do with how well you do on different diets.

We do have a weight loss emphasis here, too - i had 17 lbs to lose - and i lost three in the first four days of being paleo (and since then have been on a plateau, but i've got my eyes on the last 14 lbs) - Because i have a large brood of children, i feel i need to put the effort into not just spiritual health, but physical and emotional health for their sake.

More on those maybe later...

For now, while T puts the finishing touches on our Canadian Thanksgiving paleo feast upstairs and i hear the footfalls of my big girls setting the table, i'll post our workout of the day, and then go have a delicious paleo Thanksgiving (it sure smells good!)

Today's workout - one run, cross country, in the snow (while it snowed!) - about 5 km - i think it's longer, but T insists it's only 5 k. I am a little afraid of running in the snow but right now the ground isn't totally frozen, and it's not slippery at all, so we had a great time, came home totally bushed, and had a fruit to replace glycogen stores (If i understood what he told me, i would write more coherently)...
