Angie Cooper Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 DAY 15 I am at the half way mark! Not as good today. Hormones playing havoc again. Bit bloated and extremely sore breasts. Breakfast Omelette with left over rump steak and tomato topped with avocado on a bed of baby spinach. Black coffee Lunch Kale beetroot carrot and cucumber salad with walnuts, boiled eggs with freshly squeezed lemon 4 strawberries Dinner Grilled chicken breast with steamed veges and coconut aminos Drank plenty of water throughout the day and green tea and chamomile tea between meals Today was the first time I felt like eating some comfort food. I am guessing my PMS was the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angie Cooper Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Thanks Emma. Shame it hasn't helped me with my messed up hormones yet but on the up side there has been some positive changes mood and energy wise and knowing I am doing the whole 30 challenge has helped me be strong with those cravings.

melbournegirl Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 One week to go Angie, well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Cooper Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Thanks Melbournegirl 6 days now but who's counting....lol. This week I seem to be thinking a lot about what I will do after completing the Whole 30 and I keep coming to the same conclusion that I would like to continue with Paleo to see if I can get more significant change to my symptoms of hormone imbalance and weight loss. Previously working crazy shift work for years with lack of sleep, very little exercise and eating whatever food I could get my hands on plus the onset of perimenopause has brought me to this point so I am guessing it will take some time living the Paleo way of life to get the results I am after. I hope you are still going well with your caffeine free whole 30. Maybe that is something I should try next time round.
