Renew

Feeling quite the spirit of renewal here lately. Kids back in school, even Miss Priss for a few hours 3 days a week:

A structure to our days, thank heavens! My new before-school-lets-out pick-me-up:

Here's how:

Throw some leftover coffee in the vitamix, add a banana, some coconut cream, a heaping spoonful of cocoa powder, and a few cubes of ice. Blend. 

The ice will disappear but you need it for liquid and coldness. Serve over ice. So yum and totally Paleo y'all! 

Speaking of Paleo, we finished our Whole30. It was as life-changing as they say. We lost a combined grand total of 33 lbs. and more importantly our eating habits have changed for the better. I was not tempted in the least by dessert at church last night, J can handle 2 beers max, and grains are not at all interesting. It's kind of scary trying to figure out how to eat normally now. I tried to get this new iced coffee chick-fil-a has and it was loaded with sugar. I ended up throwing it away it was so gross! 

Anyway, whole30 was great and we highly recommend it to everyone. 

My Post Whole30 lunch (that's actually Whole30 because I don't want to eat anything else now!)

So lots of change for the good, and really it's just the beginning...
