Inside every person -- fit or on their way to fit, is a strong, motivated, determined Badass! Follow Cycling instructor and trainer Shannon Colavecchio down the road to a better, more Badass you.
I don't know who you are or if you are still on this good Earth, but I am of the opinion that you deserve a gold medal in "Kitchen Genius." If you were here, I'd salute you with a hot oven mitt and treat you to a huge bowl of my slow-cooked Cuban pulled pork.
Badass Fist Bump,
Shannon
The CrockPot is just one of a few must-have appliances I use to eat healthy while juggling a full schedule of day job, fitness business, blogging, freelance writing, etc. The slow cooker and other affordable, handy kitchen tools take the guess work, prep time and cook time of healthy food prep. Stock your kitchen with these, and you are on the road to healthier, fast-to-the-table meals that also happen to be aaaah-mazingly delicious!
Here's my top 5:
1. Crock Pot: Thanks to this bad boy, you can literally turn 3 ingredients into culinary masterpiece. To wit, my pulled pork. I put a diced onion in the bottom, top it with a 1-pound pork loin, and over the top pour mojo criollo sauce (find it bottled in the ethnic food section at most grocery stores.) About seven hours later, your kitchen smells like Little Havana and your tastebuds are watering. You can do the same with onions, chicken and a jar of salsa. So easy, it's almost criminal.
2. Blender: Ahh, where smoothies are born! And creamy feta yogurt sauces. And cold lattes! By the way, if smoothies aren't part of your eating...why the heck not?! They are creamy, tasty, and the best way to pack a whallop of protein, fruits, veggies and superstars like chia and flax seeds into a single glass. Nutritional genius.
3. George Foreman Grill: George is definitely still walking this Earth, and if I ever meet him I am giving him a HUGE fist bump! I use my grill so often, for everything from salmon burgers and chicken to veggies and fruit (mmmm, grilled peaches!). It also can be used to make warm pressed sandwiches stuffed with healthy ingredients. The even heat makes dinner possible in, literally, 5 minutes.
4. Food Processor: Pesto. Hummus. Guacamole. Homemade almond butter. Yeah, it's all born inside this petite little powerhouse appliance. I adore mine to pieces, in spite of it having sliced my hand open several years back (ok, well, maybe it was my fault for moving around the kitchen too quickly). Get one.
5. The Wok: I never get sick of Asian food, and stir-fry is one of the fastest, healthiest and most versatile ways to cook. Switch out the veggie-protein-seasoning-sauce combination, and you could make stir-fry in the wok a few times a week without getting tastebud boredom. Moreover, you can eat a massive bowl of protein-veggie stir fry for just a few hundred calories. #WIN. So good!
Now excuse me while I go grill, blend or stir-fry something! ;)
#SexyBack. It starts with the shoulders. And it comes when we put in the work. This WOD is short but strong in terms of the burn you'll get with those deltoids, etc. And because you are using your own body weight and various pushups and other moves, it is quite literally all on you. No fancy equipment, no accessories.
Just you, giving 110%. So let's go. Time to #getafterit and #dowork!
Coming up: Five must-have appliances for a #Badass kitchen!
My blonde hair and blue-green eyes notwithstanding, I am half Italian by DNA and full Italian by culture and hot-blooded, passionate personality. I was raised by my grandparents (my 100% Italian grandfather, and my born-Irish-but-Italian-by-decades-of-marriage grandmother). This means I was born and raised on pasta.
I'm talking big bowls of it, topped with my Grandma Colavecchio's Sunday 'gravy' (meatballs, sausage, pork in tomato sauce) that had simmered all afternoon in a big pot on her stove. In middle school, my afterschool snack was always leftovers of some Italian dish - stuffed eggplants, chicken cutlets, etc. - always served over penne, ditalini, linguini or cappellini.
Grandma was happy to serve, and always urged me to "have a little more!" since that is what Italian cooks do.
So the following post will truly horrify her pasta-eating sensibilities. Though she will likely appreciate the ample serving size!
See, I'm going all in on this new Paleo eating I started several weeks ago. But I still love tomato sauce and a big bowl of pasta. Oh, and the weather is finally cooling off slightly so I crave all things pumpkin. So this weekend, with just three ingredients I picked up at Fresh Market (I go there so much, I should have a designated parking spot!), I created an awesome "pasta" bowl using spaghetti squash, bruschetta and pumpkin. I topped it with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast seasoning, which tastes like cheese but is packed with nutrients. (Try it before you wrinkle your nose at the name!)
It was so incredibly easy, I hesitate to even call it a 'recipe.' But it sure tasted amazing, and thanks to the lycopene-rich tomato bruschetta sauce and the vitamin-and-fiber-rich pumpkin, it is really nutritious.
The spaghetti squash also keeps the calorie count very low, yet it was so filling! One cup of spaghetti squash (about half of a baked squash) has a mere 40 calories, 10 grams of carbs, 2 grams of fiber and 4 grams of sugar plus a little protein. Compare that to a cup of cooked pasta, which has about 200 calories and 37 grams of carbs. So even if you aren't into Paleo eating, this dish is a great way to keep your caloric intake down while still enjoying a "pasta bowl."
Sunday night, I added some shredded rotisserie chicken breast from Fresh Market for extra protein after teaching Power Core and bootcamp back to back. My muscles were happy!
Here's the "recipe." As Grandma would say, Mangia!
Shannon's Fall Pasta Paleo Bowl
Ingredients
1/2 of a spaghetti squash, baked
1/2 small jar of tomato bruschetta sauce (Fresh Market has tons; I used Bella Famiglia's)
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1 Tbsp. nutritional yeast (or grated romano cheese if you aren't going Paleo)
Optional: shredded cooked chicken breast
Directions
1. Pierce the squash with a fork several times. Bake in a 375-degree oven for an hour to 90 minutes, or until tender when tested with a fork.
2. Cut the squash in half. Remove the seeds. Using a fork, pull at the squash, like you would pulled pork, to create the strands of "spaghetti." Place into a bowl.
3. Separately, blend together with a spoon the heated bruschetta and pumpkin. Spoon it over the top of the pasta.
4. Sprinkle with the yeast or cheese and enjoy!
Coming this week: A Shoulder Shockers WOD, and 5 Must-Have Kitchen Appliances for Badass-Approved Healthy Eating
A native Floridian, I have always considered late September to be the cruelest time of the year.
See, in other states this is when the summer heat breaks and gives way to cool mornings and nights. The leaves begin their slow turn to brilliant shades. Everyone is talking about - and enjoying - hot chocolate and pumpkin lattes.
But in Florida, September is just midway through hurricane season. Sure, we might get a morning or two like we had this week when Mother Nature teases us with low humidity and mornings in the high 60s ...only to smack us with 90-degree, humid afternoons. The thought of drinking anything hot, even something as delicious as a pumpkin-flavored coffee, is about as appetizing as eating room-temperature tuna from a can as the latest hurricane blows through.
It is, to coin a brilliant word that FitFluential founder Kelly Olexa used this week, SUCKTASTIC.
So what's a South Florida girl to do when she sees all these tweets about warm pumpkin this and hot pumpkin that? Well, make a cold pumpkin smoothie of course! I enjoyed this awesomeness-in-a-glass Thursday night after my second cycle class of the day, along with the new Pumpkin Paleo Krunch from Steve's Original. As a late-night mini meal, it was perfect refuel. Not to mention a party on my tastebuds!
I loved it so much, I had the smoothie again for pre-TRX class fuel this morning.
This is my new favorite smoothie for a few reasons:
It is so creamy and rich, you'd swear it was indulging. Yet it has just 250 calories, give or take, and is packed with protein, healthy fats, and amazing flavor.
The starring ingredient is pumpkin, which is packed with fiber and good carbs - perfect for my pre- or post-cycling fuel, especially on days when I teach two classes.
It can be enjoyed as breakfast, a mid-afternoon mini-meal, a late-night light "dinner" or just plain old dessert.
It takes all of 3 minutes to whip up.
It is Paleo-approved - delicious proof that eating this way can be tasty and easy.
So go ahead, enjoy this - whether you are in a place where fall has "bloomed," or here in sunny Florida, where there is no season besides hurricane season until after Nov. 30!
Coming next week: SexyBack starts w the shoulders...this circuit will burn em up!
There are two things I love intensely (well, three including my guy, but you know what I mean!)
1. I love the ocean. I love the breeze, the smell, the energy it gives me no matter the day or my mood. The vastness of the sea puts everything into perspective. It is humbling, yet makes anything seem possible.
2. I love the endorphins of a good workout. It makes a bad day better. It makes a good day great. It is empowering. It makes anything seem possible.
Combine the two, and I am in heaven! The condo gym where I sometimes work out in Miami has an amazing view of the ocean - and an outside patio big enough for working out. The gym also has Bosu balance trainers, one of my favorite fitness "toys." So this past weekend I pulled the Bosu outside, faced the ocean, and got to work on a shoulders-and-cardio circuit that left me with quite a nice burn - during and the morning after!
A few notes: When using the Bosu, DSD means dome side down. DSU means dome side up. And a couple of the moves in this WOD are to be done on the floor, next to the Bosu.
Bosu Burpees, if you don't know them, go like this:
1. Start
with the Bosu turned upside down - rounded dome on the floor. Get into a
squat position over the Bosu, hands gripping the outer edges. From
here, hop your legs back into a plank.
2. From the pushup plank position, jump the feet up so that they land
at the side of the Bosu, your legs in a low squat position.
3. Now, lift the Bosu off the floor and start to bring it up in front of your chest as you move into an overhead press.
4. Bring the Bosu up overhead and press with power from that squat
position. That is one round. To begin round 2, just drop the Bosu back
to the floor and drop back into that plank position. Repeat.
Frog pushups are demo'd here on the Badass YouTube channel - love, love them for shoulders! Ditto with Walking Planks, which hit both core and shoulders.
OK, so you've got that down. Here's the full circuit!
Hey hey it's Monday! Definitely not the best day of the week (that honor is split between Friday, Saturday and Sunday, right?) but a chance to start strong and set the tone for the week ahead.
So this WOD is meant to start strong, and basically make Monday our beyotch. You will need:
Bosu balance trainer (tho if you don't have one, the burpees and squats can be done without it)
Dumbbells
You'll do three rounds of all three circuits, each of which has 3 exercises. By the time you get through all 3 circuits, you'll have worked yourself from head to toe. Take that, Monday! #BOOM
FACT 1: If I could survive, calorically and nutritionally speaking, by just snacking all day, I just might. I have always loved snack foods - dry cereal, trail mixes, chips, pretzels, etc. I eat clean because it makes me strong, because it fuels my workouts and busy group fitness schedule (and feeling confident in how clothes fit is a nice bonus!). This snack thing has proven trickier since I went PALEO. Nuts, seeds and fruits are all good but sometimes a girl wants a cookie or something really salty.
FACT 2: If I had enough money to adopt like 20 underprivileged children and raise them up from Bad Donkeys to Badasses -- feeding them healthy foods, showing them how to stay fit, educating them -- I would do it in a heartbeat. Few things break my heart more than kids who have to go without, or kids who are among the growing numbers of overweight and obese youngsters.And I love Badass Bootcamps most when the little ones tag along!
Enter two of my favorite food finds since going PALEO: Caveman Cookies and Steve's Original Paleo Kits and PaleoKrunch. The cookies satisfy any sweet hankerings, and the Paleo Kits not only fuel me throughout the day with protein and healthy fats - they are a way for me to help Bad Donkeys. See, 15 percent of all Steve's sales proceeds go toward a national program that gives kids access to CrossFit workouts, nutrition and mentoring. It's called Steve's Club, and it has helped lots of little ones. So.Friggin.Awesome.
CAVEMAN COOKIES
I shared my first bite of Caveman Cookies in last week's Going PALEO blog, and after trying the first bag of "original" flavor, I ordered the Tropical Caveman Cookies, the Rainforest and the Alpine Caveman varieties. The base ingredients are the same - almond meal, honey - plus variations like ground carob, coconut, pineapple, walnuts, ginger, etc.
At some point in my busy schedule I will find time to try to create my own version of these, but for now I'm good letting someone else make them.
These cookies are not Oreos, OK? But they really are good, and good for you. Moist, chewy, with plump raisins and delicious add-ins like the coconut. And at 70-75 calories each, these are not breaking the daily calorie bank at all! (The main website says they are currently switching bake facilities, but I found plenty for sale via Amazon.com)
STEVE'S ORIGINAL
Steve's Original Paleo Kits are like the mecca of PALEO snacks -these amazing jerky-nut-fruit combos. I would never have thought to eat
cranberries or raisins with beef jerky and almonds, but I am here to tell ya
it is so good! I wasn't sure which of the many Paleo snacks to get, so I ordered the Steve's Sampler for $29.99. It comes with:
1 Original Large Paleokit
1 Grassfed Small PaleoKit
1 GrassFed Just Jerky
1 Original PaleoKrunch Bar
1 PaleoKrunch Original Flavor Cereal
1 Coconut Small PaleoKit
My favorite PaleoKit is the combo of beef jerky with coconut and dried strawberries. Ah-friggin-mazing! PaleoKrunch clusters and PaleoKrunch bar are like granola without the oats - coconut, pumpkin seeds, sunflower
seeds, almonds and honey), and they even come in seasonal varieties like pumpkin and apple. You can munch solo, or eat with almond milk as PALEO-approved "cereal and milk," etc. So so good. Basically, I want everything Steve's Original has to offer! Yes, even the Bacon Krunch Bar!
Even if you aren't on the PALEO eating plan, you should give these treats a try. Your tastebuds will be happy, and your Badass will be well-fueled!
Yeah, so this #PALEO eating thing? I.Am.Loving.It.
Not just because my energy level is higher (as if that were even thought possible!), and not just because I feel lighter and less sugar-fiendish.
I am loving it because on the Paleo plan, I can eat breakfast for all three meals - including pancakes. Yep, that's right. Pancakes!
Saturday night, inspired by the awesome coconut pancake recipe I found via Blogilates (I heart the FitFluential network of amazing fellow bloggers) and my colleague's non-Paleo but healthy version, I decided that the rainy weekend called for an all-day-Sunday breakfast party.
It was delicious eats all day long, and it fueled by day of teaching Power Core and Badass Bootcamp at FSU's Doak Campbell Stadium. I say we only live once, so feel free to make this menu your own one day soon!
Here's what Breakfast Paleo-Palooza looked like:
Breakfast 1: Smoothie!
1 cup of unsweetened chocolate almond milk
1 Tbsp. almond butter
1/2 cup blackberries
1/5th avocado
1 packet stevia
1 Tbsp. ground flax
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
Ice cubes
Breakfast 2: Coconut-Apple-Cinnamon Pancakes (inspired by the Blogilates original!)
Ingredients (1 large serving)
2 TBS coconut flour
1/2 cup egg whites
1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 TBS ground flaxseed
1 TBSP wheat germ
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1/4 chopped apple
1 tsp vanilla liquid Stevia
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup raspberries mixed w 1 Tbsp honey and heated to make a sauce
Directions
Mix all ingredients together (it will thicken as you stir and let it set for a couple of minutes).
Place dollops of the batter on skillet, heated to medium, and greased with coconut oil.
Flip after bottom turns golden brown, less than a minute. Let the second side turn golden.
Top with fresh berries or heat 1/2 cup crushed raspberries with a little honey in the microwave, making a berry sauce.
SO good, and filling! AND under 250 calories, plus over 15 grams of protein and less than 5 grams of fat!
Breakast 3: PALEO Egg Scramble
Ingredients ( This makes 1 big plate to finish the day, with lots of much needed protein after two back to back classes including bootcamp!)
1 egg, 2 egg whites
1 cup spinach
1/2 cup sliced portobella mushrooms
1/2 tomato, diced
1/5th avocado, diced
1 Tbsp. Nutritional Yeast (really good for you, and adds a cheesy flavor)
Heat a skillet with the coconut oil to medium-high heat.
Sautee the mushrooms until soft, then add the spinach, salt and pepper.
As it begins to wilt, add the eggs and scramble.
When the eggs are close to done, add in the chicken and tomatoes. Scramble a bit more, then serve, topping with the nutritional yeast.
Serve with a side of fresh berries or melon.
In between these meals, I had a couple of snacks including an apple with almond butter and a Steve's PaleoKit (more on that coming Thursday!) So, yeah. Eating #PALEO is awesome - especially when pancakes and eggs are in the mix!
Try for yourself this coming weekend!
PS: Congrats to readers Charlene and Katie, of the blog wishandwhimsy, who won the cookies and chocolate giveaway and will get a taste of Green&Black's Organics chocolate and The Protein Bakery cookies! Asked her favorite sweet treat, Katie gave us an awesome idea: "One of my favorite sweet treats is a
chocolate/banana/peanut butter protein smoothie, but the KEY is topping
them with a crushed up Adora Calcium Chocolate chew for even more
benefits." Bone-building brilliance in a smoothie glass! Thanks Katie, and enjoy the goodies:) And Charlene said she uses peanut butter to satisfy her sweet tooth but still give herself those awesome protein benefits. Yum!
Coming tomorrow: Make Your Own Shock(Wave) Workout Therapy!
In my "day job" as PR maven, I am blessed to work with some very amazing people, in a truly amazing place. There are many reasons to love coming into work every day at Moore Communications Group -- kickball-and-beer happy hours, lunch visits from the state chef, "Flex" Fridays that let us leave a bit early on Fridays, a great Christmas vacation week, and more. Little surprise Florida Trend has named us a Best Place to Work three years in a row.
But also very high on that list of why MCG rocks is what I like to call "Nanette's MCG Kitchen." See, Nanette is one of those high-energy, awesome moms who somehow -- while juggling like 8,000 clients -- manages to make her kids an old school breakfast. I'm not talking cereal and milk. I am talking pancakes, scrambled eggs, waffles, etc. And because she thinks of us as her "big kids," she brings extras in for us on many mornings. Bonus!
But I give Nanette the bonus points because Nanette always finds a way to adapt traditional recipes into healthier versions. That makes me, as MCG's Wellness Coordinator, very happy! This week, she brought in whole wheat pancakes topped with fruit and a Greek yogurt "kiss" at the top. So awesome.
I recently went Paleo, so I didn't eat this batch, but word around the office is: Delicious!
So here is the non-Paleo but very healthy recipe to try out as you head into the weekend, and stay tuned for my stab at a Paleo version using almond meal!
Nanette's MCG Kitchen Pancakes
Ingredients
2 large eggs
1 cup plain, full-fat (or low-fat) yogurt
2 to 4 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or 1 full cup whole wheat and skip the white flour)
1/4 cup rolled oats or flax seed meal (depending on your preference)
2 tablespoons Domino Light (sugar/Stevia blend)
1 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon table salt
Your favorite fresh fruit toppings
Directions:
1. Soft/partially melt butter. Whisk egg and yogurt together in the bottom of a medium/large bowl. (If you’re using a thin yogurt, no need to add any milk. If you’re using regular yogurt, stir in 2 tablespoons milk. If you’re using a thick/strained or Greek-style yogurt, add 3 to 4 tablespoons milk.)
2. Whisk in melted butter, zest and vanilla extract.
3. In a separate, small bowl, combine flours, sugar/stevia blend, baking powder and salt.
4. Stir dry ingredients into wet only until dry ingredients are moistened (a few lumps is just fine).
5. Heat skillet to medium. Melt a small amount of butter in the bottom and pour in a few pancakes, leaving space between each pancake.
6. Press desired fruit into the top of each pancake (blueberries, diced banana, etc.). Press fruit down into batter, or dollop a little batter over to cover the fruit. Cook to your liking and enjoy with a spoonful of fresh yogurt!
Coming up: A DIY shock-n-awe Bootcamp workout; a taste of Steve's Paleo Kits and Caveman Cookies; and top 5 ways to use pumpkin!
Two weeks ago, I decided to up the ante on my "most of the time" clean eating and move to the PALEO eating plan.
This is the first of occasional posts related to my PALEO living, from great recipes to the inevitable frustrations (why can't the PALEO referees make an exception for hummus!?) mixed with victories (finding coconut bread that is PALEO-approved!). I also hope this can be a forum for "veteran PALEOs" to share ideas, thoughts, recipes, snack finds, etc.
First, a little PALEO 101!
What is PALEO eating?
In three words followed by a grunt, "Eat like caveman." Basically, if it could be hunted and gathered by our cave-dwelling ancestors, it is PALEO. If it was around before the Agricultural Revolution, it is PALEO.
Lean meat, fish, eggs, nuts and seeds, fruits, vegetables, and healthy oils (olive, coconut, avocado) are all part of PALEO eating. Starches, sugar, grains, legumes, dairy and alcohol are to be avoided.
The PALEO plan encourages nutrient-dense fresh fruits and veggies to replace dairy and grain products, which are less nutrient-dense.
PALEO followers also believe grains are legumes are irritating to the body's designed digestion, so basically they follow a gluten-free plan.
Why go PALEO?
My reasons for going PALEO are a few, ranging from the very basic Can I do it and stick to it? personal challenge to a desire to act in the most complete way on my belief that we put far too many foods and drinks into our bodies today that were never intended to be there. Beyond that, there are well-documented health benefits to eating this way, including:
Reduces inflammation, key for those with arthritis, fibromyalgia or other inflammatory disorders
Stabilizes blood sugar levels, thanks to the slow-digesting protein and slow-release carbs in the veggies and druits
Promotes weight loss and maintenance of a healthy weight. It's tough to have a calorie binge on fruits and veggies, thanks to the water and fiber content. Not so true when it comes to processed, calorie dense foods that can literally pack a few hundred calories into a few bites.
What does a day of PALEO eating look like?
My days have been something like this:
Meal 1, before workout/teaching class: Egg and 2 egg whites scrambled with spinach, tomatoes, asparagus and a side of fruit OR 2 slices Julian Bakery coconut bread (made w coconut flour vs wheat/white) spread with fresh ground almond butter or my fellow blogger Ginger Mantra's homemade Tupelo Honey Almond Butter.
So good!
Meal 2, after workout: Handful of almonds with fruit or with roasted veggies OR a smoothie made with unsweeteened almond milk, fresh fruit, cocoa powder, cinnamon and ground flax plus a little bit of honey or stevia.
Meal 3, late-am: Lean protein, ideally fish, with veggies and maybe sweet potato for the good carbs.
Meal 4, early afternoon: Ditto
Meal 5, pre-workout/class 2: More nuts or PALEO-friendly beef or turkey jerky and small amount of fruit
Meal 6: More lean protein with veggies
Note: Flex Foods, a local meal delivery business operated by longtime fitness buffs and nutrition experts, has been awesome about adapting meals for my PALEO eating. Everything has been delicious and totally filling - and at $6 a meal including daily delivery, a bargain.
(See at right)
What about snacks?
I am learning there are a world of PALEO friendly products out there, beyond the "born PALEO" things like fruit, nuts, and jerky.
I am loving kale chips, which can also be made at home; as well as Go Raw's flax snacks line which is all nuts, seeds and spices baked into little snack "chips." Steve's Original also makes PALEO kits of trail mixes, jerky, etc. (a review on those to come)- though you can just as easily make them at home. I even found Paleo cookies!
What about alcohol?
I have had red wine (basically, fermented grapes) and vodka soda with lime (spirits like vodka are the product of grain fermentation, but the
distillation process eliminates residues from grains, making them gluten-free). But I have consumed these very much in moderation.
What about coffee?
I drink it black, with cinnamon and coconut milk. Cavemen probably didn't have it, but this is a non-negotiable item for me! :) #teamcoffee
What about cravings? Won't I miss all of the non-PALEO foods?
At first, it is an adjustment. But I cut out processed sugars even before PALEO, and I can promise you that after a week of keeping them out of your system, the cravings cease. Your tastebuds get "real" again, and the natural sweetness and flavors of real foods pop like never before. Also, there are lots of PALEO friendly 'dessert" recipes out there using honey, coconut flour, almond flour, etc. I even found a recipe for "hummus" using cauliflower instead of chickpeas. And when I want cereal with milk? There are ample "Paleo Crunch" non-grain granola recipes that I can enjoy with almond or coconut milk.
It's all about adapting, hunting out what works, and eating real! Will I use whey or soy protein sometimes? Will I fall off the wagon and eat ice cream? Sure, maybe, we are all human. Life happens. It's all good. But I am giving this PALEO thing a 110% effort, because that is how we Badasses do! #fistbump
If you have more PALEO questions, send them my way via the comments box or email at [email protected]. In the meantime, some helpful links that have helped me along the way in these first couple of weeks!
Great PALEO Links: (Being a FitFluential Ambassador has helped immensely in pointing me to blogs, recipes and information, so thanks to my fellow Ambassadors for the help!)
Coming up: A review of Caveman Cookies and my Steve's Paleo Kit; an awesome healthy pancake recipe for the non-PALEOS; and a circuit workout that puts the F*&@! in TGIF! ;)
