My name is Deb. I am lucky enough to live in Bend, OR. If you have never been to central Oregon, it is neatly tucked beween high desert plateaus and snow-covered peaks. It's known as a town of outdoor enthusiasts and vacationers in search of active healthy pursuits. It's absolutely gorgeous!
I am a wife, mom and a MRI technologist. I work three ten hour days a week. On my two off days, I shuttle my littles to swim, soccer and dance: Gracie (5), Kellen (3) and Cashton (1). I am one busy mom but every minute I spend with my sweet kiddos is beyond precious to me.
Feeding my family healthy meals and snacks is nothing but a MUST!
Paleo Bender is a blog dedicated to my personal quest to keep my family healthy from the inside out. I have always been a health nut but after having a family, it became even more important. I'm excited to post Paleo recipes that I have tried and that are actually delicous!! This is one of my favorite cookbooks.....
My brother-in-law introduced me to Paleo last year. At the time I thought he was a bit over the top (shhhhhh!) only because I was naive and uneducated on the topic. I started doing some research and realized he was on to something! I read more and more, went to a Paleo seminar and decided to give it a go. Once on Paleo, I felt like I had more energy, my skin was clear and I could handle the daily stresses of being a mom to three kids age 5 and under AND work 30 hours a week even better!!
In August of 2011, I joined a Cross Fit gym. My husband, Ryan, had been going to this gym 8 months prior. I've always been the "dancer", never the fast runner, etc. I felt intimidated just by the thought of going to Cross Fit. After watching one of the Cross Fit Games last summer, I realized I CAN DO THIS!!! From that point on I made it a goal, I'd give it a try!
Cross Fit plus Paleo has equalled to be the perfect balance for me.
Yay! Welcome to Blogland Deb Deb!
