About Me

I am a wife, mother of two, and a CareerMama who has gone Primal. After having my second child, I found it difficult to lose the last 15 pounds of baby fat. My usual regimen of counting calories and circuit training just wasn’t cutting it. I was starting to doubt that the method of losing weight that had worked for me in the past was the right one for me today. My husband began reading The Primal Blueprint, and after reading about 1/3 of the book, he decided to try the diet. I, however, remained skeptical. There was no way I could give up pizza and pasta. And I didn’t like very many vegetables.


After being on the diet for only a couple of weeks, my husband’s pants were looser on him and he reported a weight loss of about 4-5 pounds. My desire to fit into my jeans forced me to take the plunge and try the diet for myself. After only 2 weeks on the diet, I also noticed a change. I lost 3 pounds and was beginning to lose some of the stomach fat I had accumulated during pregnancy. I have been on the diet for about 6 weeks now and have gone down one dress size. In a few more weeks, or perhaps a month, I should be back into my beloved skinny jeans.

Guinness Shepherd's Pie - The Perfect Comfort Food For Fall

We all love comfort food, especially when it is chilly outside. Shepherd's Pie has always been one of our favorites. We found a recipe for it, which used pureed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes (something I do often) and used coconut flour as a thickening agent. The only changes I made to the recipe were excluding the peas and adding Guinness. It was awesome. I felt sorry for my 11 month old daughter who had to watch the three of us chow down on this delicious meal when she had to eat her baby food. At least it will only be a few months until she's able (and willing) to eat it.
