My new favorite spot in bed. |
My inability to move coupled with Shaun's summer vacation has resulted in us spending a lot of quality time in the house together. I forget how many times Shaun has asked me if I need some Benadryl or if I want to take a nap. While Shaun and I may have our differences on how we want to spend this down time (I'm finishing the first four books in Robert A. Caro's The Years of Lyndon Johnson series and studying for my NSCA-CSCS exam while Shaun is re-watching all the Strax, Jenny and Vastra Doctor Who episodes and over dosing on English Premier League Football), we have decided to undertake a new project together -- eating. For as long as I can remember Shaun has eaten his Shaun food and I have eaten my Kelly food and very rarely did we ever eat the same things together. So, between now and when Shaun starts work, we are going to make an effort to eat together off of the same menu, adapted largely from recipes in Practical Paleo. The goal is for me to eat to heal quicker and for Shaun to loose a little of the weight that he has gained over the last 3 years (probably about 60-70 lbs total). I've mapped out the first 10 days (below) and came up with a shopping list for Shaun. Starting tomorrow I'll track our food and our progress here and see if we can actually eat together as little family at least for a few weeks.
