Sorry I was MIA! Glow run, family going Paleo, and MUG CAKE YUM!

I apologize that I have been missing in action.  After last weekend, doing the glow run with friends from work, I felt like crap.  I haven't really been exercising, I have been really tired and I felt like I just need another over haul.  

Hubby and I have been talking about trying the kids on a NOT SO STRICT paleo for a few weeks just to see how they do.  Now what I'm saying not so strict?  Well they will be eating a little rice here and there (my kiddos are SUPER active)  and I promised them if they do good they can have a treat from red mango.  I also plan on getting them some organic dairy (some cheese, yogurt etc).  My kids by no means can afford to lose any weight, but they some times have some behavioral issues, and my daughter has some minor skin issues that I think could benefit.  

We started today.  We filled the fridge with fruits and veggies, and I'm honestly not sure they will even notice all the crap gone.  My daughter is so excited that there is tons of fresh stuff in the fridge for her to munch on, and my 2.5 yr old son could be constantly walking around eating a tomato like its a plum!  lol .  I am going to make sure they get a lot of healthy fats!  Well today is day one for that so hopefully all goes well!   Can anyone suggest a good book to buy for my daughter (shes 7 but ahead in reading)  for her to read to understand paleo, and clean eating?  

Now on to the fun stuff.. Last weekend I ran in a Dance5k at CitiField in Flushing Queens.  OH MY GOSH! SO MUCH FUN!  I ran a lot!  I'm very proud of myself.  We had a kick ass time.  I didn't run the whole thing because we stopped for a few people in the group to use the bathroom (there were porta potties placed around the course).  This is my second 5k of the summer.  I so want to do a tough mudder, but I believe I should be able to do a pushup first!  lol

ok next is on to my Vanilla Mug cake topped with a Strawberry Chia Jam.  OH MY VERY TASTY

I promised the recipe, so here it is!!

1 Egg

1TBSP Coconut flour

1TBSP Almond flour

1TBSP Stevia

1 pinch baking powder

1TBSP coconut oil

1/2tsp Vanilla extract

Mix this all in a mug with fork and microwave for 1.5 minutes

Now for the strawberry chia jam

I chopped up some strawberries, and blended them in my smallest bullet cup, with a sprinkle of stevia. I then added a tablespoon of chia seeds and let it sit in the fridge for a bit after mixing for one quick buzz in my magic bullet.  

Above is the finished product.   Please feel free to question or comment!  XOXOXO
