Breakfast and very early (for us) dinner. We snacked on brownies, green grapes and turkey meat through the middle of the day so we’re calling it all good. Day 15 of the 24 Day Challenge was super simple in all areas and is now done! Sautéed onions and red bell peppers with eggs, bacon and turkey for breakfast. Left over pork chops and a delightful kale/Brussels sprouts /cranberry/something/something salad mix from Costco for dinner. There’s enough for one more meal for at least three of us tomorrow. And speaking of tomorrow…Matt has the crockpot set up to start a pork roast with carrots and onions as we head to bed. A little bit of planning to get us a great start for this week! #blog #paleo #24daychallenge #advocare #easyfood #munsonfamily #munsonmischief

So we saw this Buzz Feed video where they were eating fruit differently than how we think to eat it. One of the items was a kiwi. Now I love kiwis but peeling them is a pain in the rumpus so when we saw them eat them without perking first…and liking it…Alyx and I thought we needed to try it out. She did this evening and says it’s a tart and sweet yes! Mia, however, looks horrified in the background. #munsonfamily #makesmelaugh #paleo #easyfood #blog #cleandessert #fruit #trynewthings

We’re in the second part of the 24 Day Challenge now. Today is day 14 and aside from food variances or leanness goals every day looks much like this. Catalyst and MNS-3 are my go to regulars for general health and well being. I view supplements as insurance against disease or illness. AdvoCare has s brilliant product in the MNS systems! The basics of multi-vitamin, multi-mineral, top quality EFAs, probiotics for continued gut health (your first line of defense and wellness) are all laid out for you in an easy to manage strip. Some vitamins and minerals need to be consumed on an empty stomach in order to be optimally absorbers. Some need food and fat. Do you know which is which and when to take what? The MNS system helps you out. Catalyst is an amino acid blend. I’ll write about that product separately. Regarding diet (food in general) from here to the end of the Challenge, the goal is to stay clean. Eggs, bacon, guacamole for breakfast as often as is possible. Lunch and dinner are a basic formula of meat plus as many vegetables as possible plus healthy fat. Anyone who says paleo eating is low/no carb is doing it wrong. #fitmom #munsonfamily #fitlife #fitover40 #advocare #24daychallenge #cleaneating #healthylife #glutenfree #grainfree #paleo #positivechanges #blog

Our inaugural Texas Painstorm Event lived up to its name! We’re excited to help build on the founding concept that was CrossFit when we found it…camaraderie through struggle and improving oneself. There was no single ‘winner’ today but everyone worked hard, did their best and supported each other. (Some of us even quit CrossFit a couple of times during that 20 minute AMRAP but we started again after a couple of breaths.) The folks who came out from @crossfitwrath CrossFit Champions and Breakthrough Fitness as well as CrossFit 1836 and CrossFit Redefined and our very own Julie representing @creeksidecrossfit all worked hard and it was cool to be a part of it! #blog #nolimits #fitover40 #fitmom #cantstopme #capable #healthylife #munsonfamily #bettereveryday

Day 9 of my 24 Day Challenge went a little sideways. I left the house at 7:30, got home by 11:40 but still had another hour before I could head inside to eat…breakfast. Yes, breakfast after noon. So probiotics when I got up but fiber drink didn’t happen until about 12:45 with half a small grapefruit and about 30 minutes later the last of the meat sauce from last week. Dinner was spicy chicken (I’ll get the recipe posted, Shannan!), string beans and a small-ish salad. No my food wasn’t evenly spaced out over the course of the day. Did I get it all done? Yes. Did I have issues with energy today due to this unplanned intermittent fasting? Nope. No dragging, no cloudy thinking. I was firing on all cylinders. A Spark in the morning (Green Apple) and a Spark in the afternoon (Pink Lemonade) plus clean eating and all is rocking! Tomorrow starts considerably earlier so there’s no telling when I’ll eat breakfast but it’s all good! One more day is left on the first part – the gut health phase – of the Challenge. #blog #paleo #grainfree #glutenfree #fitlife #fitover40 #advocare #24daychallenge #guthealth #munsonfamily #motivation #easyfood #simplehealth #notricks

The finish of Day 8 of our AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge was crockpot roast with sweet potatoes and onions. Matt prepped the veggies on Sunday, Alyx set the whole thing up in the crockpot Monday morning. Dinner was ready when I got home. 4 of us ate and there are left overs for lunches. Easy peasy! #advocare #easyfood #24daychallenge #cleaneating #healthylife #fitover40 #fitlife #munsonfamily #glutenfree #grainfree #paleo #blog

Winnah…winnah…chicken dinnah! Day 6 of our AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge finished with Alyx’s spicy baked chicken, carrots with butter, garlic and pepper and a simple salad of mixed greens, tomatoes and guacamole. I know folks misunderstand paleo as low carb but we eat more carbs on a challenge than off. (Hint: fruits and veggies are carbs) Herbal detox tablets at bedtime and done. #24daychallenge #advocare #munsonfamily #fitlife #fitover40 #fitmom #healthylife #cleaneating #positivechanges #paleo #glutenfree #grainfree #blog
