March Meal - Almond Banada Pancakes

I visit Marks Daily Apple regularly as he has some very good information about eating clean & primal. When I'm eating Paleo-Style, I feel so much better in terms of mood, energy, seep, awareness etc. My Crossfit workouts are amazing, and my body composition changes drastically. My goal is to maintian a 90/10 Paleo Lifestyle. (BTW, me, holding a Heineken beer bottle on the front page of my blog would be me during the 10%!! HA!)

This month I decided to post a breakfast meal. I've been making this meal - Almond Banana Pancakes - for quite some time now.

Here's a photo of my Almond Banana Pancakes with a side of mixed berries:

Beautiful Sunset

Watching a sunset was #54 on my list. There were plenty of opportunites in Mexico - as every day between 6:30-7pm we had full view of the sun setting.

Living by the water, you would think I would have seen a sunset before (and a sunrise), but suprisingly enough I have not.

Below is something that we witnessed almost every night. However this particular night we were on a cruise.

Passport - check

In order to go to Mexico - I needed to apply for a passport. This was #43 on my list. I heard horror stories that it would take such a long time - but it only took 2 weeks! :)

Hiatus is OVER!

It's been a month and a half since my last post. After my vacation in Mexico - I found it hard to get back in routine!

That being said - qualifying for convention with The EDGE Benefits was #11 on my 101 list. January I recieved a package with the Itinerary, matching shirts, and a brochure to Vallarta Palace Hotels with plane tickets for my husband and I.

This was the first plane ride for my husband. I think he did rather well! We met a wonderful lady named Margo who offered to take our picture!

This was the first time going to an all inclusive resort - and it was a great first experience. The Edge Benefits had some things planned for us - but other than that it was very relaxing. Below are a few more photos.

My Paleo/Crossfit Story

Tyler, the owner of Cornwall Crossfit (http://www.cornwallcrossfit.com/) asked me to write a little something about my Paleo / Crossfit experience.

He posted my story on his website. READ HERE. He wanted me to highlight what I have been doing since the New Year.

January Meal - Lemon Chicken Feta

I've been behind on #40 which was make a meal once a month (I'll make up for it soon!)

For the month of January, I made Lemon Chicken Feta for my friend Liz & I. She found the recipe in a Chatelaine magazine. It was a very easy recipe and we enjoyed it!

Below is the recipe :

Next time ,I will add black olives and sundried tomatoes!

Change of Plans?

Okay, I was just speaking to Cornwall Crossfit Owner - Tyler Touchette (http://www.cornwallcrossfit.com/) and I may have been a bit crazy with my #3 goal which is 100 pushups perfectly in a row... I know these goals shouldn't really change during the process - but it's my blog and my list so I'm going to tweak #3 a bit.

Instead of 100 pushups in a row - I'll change this to 100 pushups in total (not in a row) and I'll tack on a part b) to this and aim to be able to do 10 handstand pushups.

I'm not sure if this is better, but there it is :)
