Beautiful new day! Inspiration and positivity! Something is brewing inside :)

Yesterday we finished up the day with some chili which I use ground grass-fed beef liver instead of ground beef! This increases the nutritional content of the chili a huge amount without changing the flavor or texture! Liver is an AMAZINGLY healthy and nutrient dense food choice! Our hunter gatherer ancestors would have eaten many if not all of the animal organs and may have even preferred them to the muscle as they are super nutrient packers! Liver is one of the organs that I personally image was a delicacy of sorts and given to pregnant women and children...
I have many "images" of what life would have been like 20,000 years ago! I've always felt I was born in the wrong time!

For dinner we had a bbq chicken kale salad. This is really yummy and is quickly becoming something I desire! The BBQ sauce just goes really well with the kale and with the chicken you can eat such a large amount of raw greens and get really full because of the chicken! We also had our fav japanese sweet potatoes!

My son is 18 months old now and has been very slow to solids but he loves these potatoes! He is eating at every meal now though so he is acquiring a taste for many foods now! It's amazing how much you can trust your babies! It was challenging to not worry about him not eating solids like "every other baby". He is 18 months old! Most babies start between 6-12 months. I had to focus and keep thinking of what it may have been like when mothers nursed for 3+ years. Would babies be totally content with milk and eat when they were really ready?? My time with my son has proven to me, yes and I trust my kids :)

For breakfast we had our juice, some fresh fruit and quinoa oatmeal! I think we will have leftovers - BBQ chicken kale salad - and for dinner we are having breakfast! I will make coconut flour pancakes with blueberries, and over easy eggs on top of rice and veggies. It is one of our favorite things to eat!

Haven't ran today so we will be going to the park soon and get active! I have NO miles recorded this week!! But I will get my 3 miles in before Saturday. By March my goal is to be able to increase it to 5 miles. I still feel a stress in my shin so I want to take it slow and build my legs up to it.

The Vibrams work muscles that you never knew you had! Have you looked into barefoot running??

I will talk about my experience with minimalist running and what I did to prepare my body for the change and the changes I see in my body soon!

LOVE and Happy Wednesday!
