Progressing.

[NewStart2014]

I am still here I am still working to progress through the changes and challenges i face. I still enjoy reading about other peoples journey and I'm learning.

After a few weeks hiatus eating a lot of wheat based items and dairy products my stomach is crying out in pain so I'm picking things back up again to try again with a healthier lifestyle.

I think that the most valuable thing I learned in the last 6 weeks though is that there is a difference between Paleo and Whole 30.

This is my post Whole 30 log.

For yesterday:

M1 Banana, coconut milk cappuccino, apple and nuts

M2 Salad with cherry tomatoes, avocado, capsicum, 1 95gr tinned smoked tuna

Challenge point: Chocolate cake from our executive director to soften the blow of a work challenge. I didn't beat this challenge. Black cup of tea.

M3 Paleo lemon chicken thighs, steamed veggies, 1TBS cheese noodles, 1/2 Carmen's granola bar (no sugars or preservatives but oats)

Walked/Ran 3.16km in 37minutes

Pros: My stomach is starting to feel lighter, I'm having headaches so I know I'm on a good path, I'm getting some focus back, my energy levels are coming back up

Cons: still emotionally beating myself up for my "fails", I feel like I'm starting over again (but at least I can start over, right?)

Planned:

M3: 1/2 rump steak, salad, water

Hi There,

Good too see you back! I'm in a similar mindset at the moment. Trying so hard to avoid the obvious but sometimes not. I feel infinitely better when I stick with the relatively strict paleo, but the chocolate cravings have been rediculous..... I keep on telling myself that I have a choice..... Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't.

M1: 2 eggs, 1/4 chorizo, capsicum, zucchini, onion, pear, nuts, coconut cappuccino

Morning tea: coffee with milk and sugar

M2: Started off as a paleo thai chicken soup (delicious) but I found a fly floating in it :(

went to the shops and got a toasted ham cheese and tomato sanga and a medium latte. I'm paying for it now with serious flatulence

Planned:

M3: asian glass noodles stir fry

M3: asian glass noodle stir fry, 1 small glass OJ no preservatives or added sugar, 1 oreo cookie 1/2 sweet potato and 1/4 chorizo

Yes I feel 100 times better physically but not so mentally (emotional eater much?) when I stick with paleo.

My stomach so does not like dairy!!

Hi all, I'm still here. Still going really well and feeling really good to. Just busy with life.

Back to the running/walking and really pleased with my progress.

Eating is going really well but still challenged. It's a huge change from what I was eating like September 2012. I'm liking the change
