Agent Carter Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hi! My husband & I have joined, hopefully to lose some weight (him 100lbs and me 50lbs). He is the gamer (video games & D&D) and is looking forward to getting strong enough to do the Zelda Workout. I am just happy to have anything that gets him interested in fitness. I am a 1940's/ 50's girl who got stuck in the wrong time period. I rather be knitting or reading vs playing video games or D&D. We have been married for 7 years. Have 4 children (2 boys & 2 girls), 4 cats, and 3 very strange dogs. Yes, we have lost our minds. Trying to do paleo-ish. Kinda hard to do when you have 3 kids under 5. They believe that pizza, mac n' cheese, and chicken nuggets are food from the gods. Currently doing the beginner body weight workout 3 times a week and walking our dogs daily for 30 minutes. Anyone have any suggestions? Also is there any Whovians out there? My husband wants to know. 1 Quote Link to comment
athousandwords Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Welcome! And awesome name inspiration!! I think you're going to get along in this forum just fine. Your goals sounds great - just getting up and getting active seems to spur on positive changes everywhere in your life. Best of luck managing Paleo with the kiddos. I've been (mostly) paleo for over a year now and it does get easier with time. One thing I do is cook a paleo meals for myself with variations for anyone who doesn't want to eat it. Ex: taco filling and veggies that I eat over lettuce and everyone else eats with tortillas. That way I don't feel so much like a short order chef, trying to please everyone! I'm sure you'll find balance with it, and hopefully your kids will pick up on your new love of healthy foods! Also - it's great that your husband is joining up with you!

Elastigirl Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Welcome. A couple of other ideas for foods that are versatile: spagetti, kids can have the pasta you have yours with spaghetti squash/ chicken stir fry, you can just omit the rice and stir fry veggies separately if they don't like them 1 Quote Wisdom 22.5 Dexterity 13 Charisma 15 Strength 21 Constitution-13 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind' Luke 10; 27 Link to comment
