Real-food recipes, health, fitness, recovery and cats!
It’s easier for me to live a healthy-eating lifestyle because I plan everything, and outside of that I don’t really have too much of a social life (which I don’t mind one bit). In the beginning of the week, I will usually sit down and plan my meals out for […]
As if on cue, as soon as I am starting to make some good gains with crossfit, something happens and I have to take a break. This seems to be a pattern with me in my past. I’m on a roll with whatever physical activity I’m doing, and then some […]
I mentioned before that I had bought a LivingSocial deal for a month on unlimited group-personal-training classes. I thought this would be a good jump-start for me to get back into lifting post-surgery. I found that I was able to re-gain my strength fairly well, and have no problems doing […]
It can be both scary and liberating to get your story out. It was a difficult and long road for me until I got to the point where I opened up about my past, because for a long time I was ashamed, terrified, and not completely willing to let it […]
I had received a few emails on Intermittent Fasting, and after reading this article over at Nerd Fitness and doing a little more research on it, I decided I’d like to give it a try, just to see how my body will react and if I can make any gains […]

It’s been one week since I had my open umbilical hernia surgery, and I am finally starting to feel better. This past week was rough. I had surgery performed on Friday June 21st, and originally thought that I would be back to work by Monday. The surgeon had told me […]
I tried so hard for years to get to a point in life where I honestly and truly love me for me, and don’t think any less of myself because of my body fat percentage. And I’d like to think that I’m there, most days. But I’d be lying if […]
Once again, I haven’t been a very good blogger lately! I will try to be better at this. I’m sure some paleo people out there may have heard of the 80/20 principle. If you haven’t, you can read the article on Mark’s Daily Apple here. This is what I would […]
Hi! I’m Jordan! I am a wife, a crazy cat mom, wino, eating disorder recovery warrior, and a bit of a goofball. I love creating paleo and gluten-free recipes and encouraging a healthy lifestyle. I also sometimes wish I was a mermaid.
