melbournegirl Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 Day 7 9 hours sleep, skin is slowly improving, minerals in cocoa and nuts/seeds may be helping? So far it seems the pineapple and orange may have been responsible for inflaming my skin which was set off by gluten and dairy and coffee the week before?Glands in my neck are still quite swollen though M1 chicken, avocado, carrot, egg, blueberries, seeds.M2 tuna and salad Snack of an apple and nutsM3 steak and vegetables including sweet potato and ghee. Drank a bit too much cocoa and tea today but it kept me away from the chocolate and sesame snaps I found in the cupboard. Lazy day exercise wise but enjoyed reading a few books. Here's to a good second week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amberino21 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Rollerblading?!? I haven't done that for years - how fun! (Although, I think my lack of practice would make it more dangerous than fun ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournegirl Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 It's like riding a bike Amber, you never forget... And since you have good core strength you should have good balance presumably? Worked mobile today from my beach house at Phillip island.... Most people avoid going into work if they can the day before the Melbourne cup holiday . I try to roller blade every month or so down there if the weather is good. Just starting to feel good about the healthy food I am eating and the care I am taking of myself, makes it easier to keep going and also easier to stop thinking about less important things like weight loss!

amberino21 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Ahh..Melbourne cup, if only we got that as a holiday too!! I don't get too involved with that, I'm at different schools so it's hard to participate in sweeps, and I'm not partaking in the celebratory lunch provided by the school I'm at tomorrow...pizza! I'd love to get over to Melbourne and actually go one year, and get properly dressed up Love that you're feeling good about making good choices - that's awesome!! It makes the choice so much easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournegirl Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Sure does Amber... Which is why I chose to have blueberries with coconut milk, baked broccoli, sautéed silverbeet, egg, bacon and sweet potato with ghee for my breakfast today and enjoyed every bite!... Lunch might be a bit late today after that breakfast of kings LOL 6km bike ride with my son, followed by a late lunch of salad with olives, avocado and tuna and some poached fruit. Then a dip in the pool and some hoops... Trying to be more active without stressing about it....

melbournegirl Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 9 hours of sleep sounds lovely!I'm really trying hard to kick my body into fat burning mode, and heal my inflamed skin, its still so itchy. Usually stopping coffee helps but not this time. I've dropped cocoa now as well and it's improving slightly, next will be to try no eggs, fish and fruits sigh! The hay fever season is in full swing here plus it's nearly AF time which isn't helping.Thanks for dropping in Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieMum Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 You're going well Juzbo. I'm only on day 5, so I'm astounded that you were able to do a whole 100. Can I ask what bacon you use and if it's compliant? I haven't tried to find any, but would find meals a lot easier if I could add some bacon.

I've never found compliant bacon, but compliant prosciutto is easy to find and a good substitute I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournegirl Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 I've found compliant prosciutto at Leo's fine foods. The only compliant bacon I've ever found in Melbourne is Isla... You can get it at the health food store in tooronga village. It's from daylesford but they don't make enough to distribute interstate. Unfortunately for me (I found out the hard way) it contains garlic which I can't tolerate. Aldi, Coles and Safeway all have one brand each of 95% naturally smoked bacon that is compliant except for 0.7% sugar which works out to about 0.4g a serve. I didn't have any bacon for my first 30 and 100 but I dont exclude this non compliant one now. I also don't exclude white potatoes especially, although I have learnt I do have to exclude potato chips for a number of reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournegirl Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 Day 19, another good day but a terrible sleep, messed up by hormones and because we are restructuring at work and yesterday I got my new role and had a lot to process I guess. I think I got about 6 hours sleep. I still took my daughter to diving at 6am and went on a run but only about 4km. M1 potato and broccoli soup with turkey mince, some blueberries Lunchtime 3km walk M2 carrot, more soup as well as some tomato soup, egg roll and cantaloupe M3 baked chicken, ghee, kale, broccoli, carrot, celery, nectarine and an orange I am having serves of fruit most meals but it seems to be helping rather than hindering my ability to eat mainly three meals . It's helping break my cocoa habit too. My skin is not improving very quickly so soon I will need to test eggs and fruit but at least it makes it easy to keep whole30ing as I need the baseline for the N=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjena Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I hope you are happy with your new role. I never sleep well when I have a lot to think about, either. My brain won't shut off. I'm sorry you might have to cut eggs. I hate that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
