Splurge day

'Ello mates!

So Mucas and I have made it through our first week living the new and improved life! Here's a breakdown of what happened:

 -Lucas juice fasted for 7 days! He decided to eat today because he just felt that he needed food. 

 -Lucas is down to 208 lbs (he started at 220)

 -Brogo juice fasted for 3 days, eating paleo for the whole week.

 -Brogo is down to 115 lbs (she started at 123)

Needless to say, we are happy. We also had an INCREDIBLE day today at Spa Castle in Carrolton celebrating our 2 year anniversary (Sept. 9). They have ten different saunas, pools, and steam rooms that you can go in for 24 hours for only $30 (that's the student price- $35 for everyone else)! Plus, they have food, drinks (including real juice), Starbucks, massages, mani/pedis, and a bar if you want to pay extra. Sunday is our splurge day, however, we decided not to go too cray cray, BUT I did get a frappucino and Lucas got a valencia orange! For lunch we had sushi and miso soup- almost paleo (rice and soy sauce are not paleo), but it was soooo worth it! The frap, however, was definitely not. My stomach is hurting from the dairy- but I learned my lesson!

One of the saunas- 'Far Infrared'

Our lunch: Rainbow roll and Philadelphia roll with Miso Soup

Another sauna from today

After that we decided to get some paleo food for the week, so we went to Sprouts and picked up some grass-fed beef, eggs from pastured chicken, veggies, and some nuts. For dinner I cooked up some random stuff (I was a little excited).

Here are some "egg and beef muffins," with ground beef, egg, cilantro, onion, pepper, and garlic powder. Preheat oven at 375 and cook for 30 minutes! Don't forget to line with muffin tins :)

The most random dinner ever. Garlic pickle (yes, pickle is paleo!), blackened chicken and some of the ground beef, pepper and onion I cooked up.

Here is the beef, pepper, and onion I cooked up. Seasoned with cayeene pepper and garlic powder.

Infused orange water I made up a couple of days ago. I just cut up an orange, threw in a bottle of Dasani, and left in the fridge- so delish! By the way, I have never read up on anything about infusing stuff so for all I know this is completely wrong!

So I will shut up for now, but thanks for following us on our first week! We couldn't have done it without you. The accountability of keeping up with a blog has definitely helped us! And, each day we are learning more to turn around and help each of you in the future. Stay tuned for more info on what paleo is really all about, how to start up a juice fast, and more!
