melbournegirl Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 I'm okay in some ways in that I still fit into most of my clothes. But many of them are uncomfortable and unflattering... But as I have probably mentioned, i am prepared to be 5-10kgs heavier while I break the diet mindset and cycle once and for all... But summer is coming so I hope I can start pulling it all together soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournegirl Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Day 28 9 hours sleep M1 baked chicken, carrot, blueberries and eggs M2 orange, raisins, almond pancakes.... Oops but no toppings at least! I think my mind is saying I'm nearly done! Not planning on reintro ing non compliant ingredients though.... Might do a new whole30 when I am back to exclude potatoes, nuts and swypo meals like I shpuld be, but am happy that I have kept completely off sugar, dairy, alcohol, legumes, grains, frankenfoods and other nasties. The only packaged foods I have had are bacon, tinned tomatoes, olives and coconut milk plus ghee, olive oil and coconut oil and ground nuts and coconut flour.

terryd Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 The closer it gets the more that I think I'll continue - especially since we are not traveling, I'm looking at the 4-miler, and we are before the big holidays - I want to feel more in control when I jump ship. I did get 6 straight hours of sleep.......felt good not to be looking at the clock half the night.....bobbing my head up and down. If I could just get to 7........I will..........start of day 28 - I must get reading done today and not be on this thing -....... and do some prepping for the week to come.......autumn weather - thinking about squash/pumpkin soup....it never appealed to me before ..........now........hmmmm.

melbournegirl Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Pumpkin and coriander is wonderful and so good for you... I believe you call it cilantro?? I always think of stuffed olives... Pimiento... When I hear that, only just recently learned what cilantro is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberino21 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Pumpkin with turmeric, ginger, coriander, lemongrass (and chili if you like heat) is yummy too - especially with coconut milk added! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimiento... When I hear that, only just recently learned what cilantro is... That would be new to me - I thought coriander and cilantro were diff. WE LOVE cilantro - grew some this summer. The fragrance - I love chopping up the fresh leaves with avocado, tomato, onion, garlic, splash of vinegar and evoo --- when not on w30 some feta thrown in. I may have to do that soon.......minus feta....LOL......loving the tips on spices and squash/pumpkin. Amber - gonna try that mix and scoop some out and top w/fresh cilantro.........can't wait! Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a soup like that in Broome about ten years ago and it's been a regular in my household ever since! Yum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournegirl Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Another long sleep, 9 hours. I think I am experiencing gluten cross reactivity with the cocoa and a few other things, hence the tiredness and bloating, gunna go completely caffeine, cocoa, tea and coffee free for the next few weeks and lay off omega 6 nuts and seeds... That should help with the tiredness and aches and pains. Will back off the fruit too! Day 29 done and food all packed for day 30 tomorrow. I won't have access to email so that it for me now. Thanks for sharing everyone and best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roz Griffiths Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 That would be new to me - I thought coriander and cilantro were diff. Cilantro is the leaves, coriander is the seeds, ground up or whole. In the UK (maybe in Aus too?), we call the whole lot coriander - either coriander leaf or coriander seed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
