Anyone who knows me well, knows that I am a cheapskate. If I had my way (which I rarely get) and have the time, we would buy nothing. Before culinary school, I was an avid coupon clipper, I would wash my own car in the drive and I even made my own laundry detergent. I still do not wear jeans that cost over $25, I buy my t-shirts in 5-packs and can squeeze a penny until it cries. I’ll save money on anything, except food. I love food, and for good food, I would pay almost anything.
This is the major reason I love the holidays! It starts with Thanksgiving (Halloween is not a holiday, there is no food involved), followed by Christmas, then the new year and in my world it wraps up with my birthday (yesterday) and this little thing called “KC Restaurant Week”. If you are not familiar with restaurant week, it is my favorite two things in the whole wide world, great food and a BARGAIN! Jason and I are going out every meal period of the week (lunch and dinner) and eating. These are a few of my favorite things.
Needless to say, when we wrap up Restaurant Week, I need a plan to get back to reality. This year, Evolve has teamed up with Pilates 1901 to take part in their 21-day sugar detox followed by 9 more weeks of 100% Paleo. I am so excited to go on this journey and have help doing it. The program offers classes (some taught by me), grocery store tour, and all the support you need to eliminate ALL sugar (including fruit) from your diet.
If you have never done a strict sugar cleanse you should try it. It is harder than Army Basic training, but way more rewarding. If you are having a hard time getting weight off, or you want to look and feel better than you ever have, ridding yourself of sugar will do it.
This was not meant to be an advertisement, but I am really excited about this. The staff at Evolve love supporting events held within our community whether it be a food challenge, a Crossfit competition or a local charity. We just like being involved.
If you have any questions, or want to sign up to do this with me, feel free to email me at [email protected]. You have until the end of this week to get started with us.
Live Paleo!
