Day 6- My Whole30 November Challenge

Day 6 Amigos! :)

I love Sundays - family lunch and quality time.

We went for a big dinner in my parents and we tend to all chip in and help cook.

My sis made a tomato soup to start and we had roast chicken for dinner.

We then went and visited my other half's mother and got tea there! So we were out all day and got fed well! A great Sunday all round.

I am anxious about loosing too much weight on my Whole30. I know most people have the opposite problem, but I had kind of reached my goal weight before I started the 30 day challenge and I am afraid I will loose more. My collarbone is fairly noticeable at this point so I am going to evaluate things this week and try and eat more calories. Maybe I have not been eating enough.

Anywho, my son is back at school tomorrow after his mid term break - so it is back to routine thank god.

My Food for Day 6:

Breakfast: 3 x streaky bacon & 2 x scrambled eggs (cooked in bacon fat)
Black Tea

Lunch: Homemade Tomato and Veg soup
Roast Chicken, mashed cauliflower, carrots and parsnips and brussels sprouts cooked in onions, garlic, chilli and chicken stock

Tea: (more) bacon, a fried egg and a grain free sausage.

Snacks: Medjool dates (4), banana, apricots (2).

I hope your Day 6 went well! Until tomorrow, eat well, eat Paleo!! ;)

Day 5 - I Heart Paleo!!

Hi all,

I wont keep you long! So it is the weekend, and with the weekend comes the "treat" mentality. For me, a treat is going for a coffee and a salad these days! Oh how things change! Once upon a time my 8 year old son and I used to go to a cafe on a Saturday and share a piece of black forest gateau or something equally decadent! Bu since his Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis in August 2010 and my conversion to Paleo this is a thing of the past. But we did treat ourself to coffee and salad. (He had non Paleo Lasange - he isn't Paleo unfortunately, a little at a time, Ill convert him eventually!)

I also treat myself to steak at the weekend too - something I never used to do but it is something I love now

Anyway apart from that nothing to report - today was a breeze food and temptation wise and I am feeling a lot better. All is good! Hope you are doing good too, please share your experiences!

Menu - Day 5

Breakfast- Salmon, stir fried veggies, avocado, black tea

Lunch - Chicken Salad
Coffee

Dinner - Striploin Steak fried in butter, onions, mushrooms and tomatoes, sweet potatoes in coconut oil and leftover broccoli.

Snacks - None so far - I might have a banana later.

Man I love Paleo! Beautiful food, no counting calories tediously and no holds barred on the fats.

Paleo 4 Ever! :)

Day 4 - My Whole30 November

Hello Paleo Friends.

Day 4 already, where are the days going?

Another fairly good day today. I am very sick of being sick though I must admit! Although I think I might FINALLY have turned a corner! I am nearly over the cough and sniffles but I just had zero energy again today. Maybe it was a combination of cold and strict Paleo-ness though!

Anyway a pretty uneventful day besides. Tidied my house from top to bottom (that counts as exercise right!?) and went to the cinema this evening with my fiance. The smell of popcorn tempted me for a few minutes but once I got into the dark and could no longer see my fiance eating his I was happy enough with my water and almonds!

Had a disagreement with a certain someone about not loosing any more weight. He does have a point I suppose, while I am not VERY thin by Hollywood standards I am only a few pounds off the lower end of my ideal weight for height so I am concerned I will loose too much. I have been told I will level off at my ideal level so hopefully that will happen soon.

Anyway here's my daily consuming outlined:

Breakfast: None (I slept in today)
Lunch: Leftover soup

Dinner: Butter Chicken Curry with Cauliflower Rice (pictured)
Snack: Beef burger with salad

Hope your day has gone well too and remember - One Day At A Time!
