melbournegirl Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I am well and truly committed to paleo eating now after a whole 30 and a whole100 and have slayed my sugar dragon and identified my trigger foods. I have had a bit of a messed up week after abdominal surgery on Monday, anaesthetics always affect me, and I have had some of my trigger foods plus I haven't been able to do my usual activity. So I am going to log my progress for the next 21 days and make sure I get back to a balanced fat-adapted whole9 lifestyle. I won't be strictly whole30 as I will include bacon and maybe some fruit desserts. I am starting off coconut, coffee, and nut free and I want to keep an eye on my carb levels too.

melbournegirl Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Day 2 Was raining at walking time but got up later and went for a walk .... Feeing very chunky at the moment Breakfast was some left over mince, soup and cooked veg plus an extra spoon of ghee Lunch was a beef burger with salad. Meal 3 was raw carrot, boiled egg, pine nuts, soup and a couple of dried apricots Which leaves dinner, more salad, pork chops, cucumber mango salsa and some watermelon plus blueberry eggs, Cooked up some sweet potatoes, apples, beans and broccoli in the pork rinds or breakfast, yum Off and racing Shelley, don't forget to drink lots...

shelley417 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I have a huge pot of chicken soup! It's going to be dinner. Lunch: 2 egg muffins filled with peppers and onion and a curried salmon salad with mango, zucchini and red onion and some strawberries. Feel so much better.

melbournegirl Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 First day back at work.... Managed to go for a walk at lunchtime, back feels very tired as my stomach muscles don't want to support me properly yet! Wish I had some chicken soup... Having leftover chicken casserole for breakfast... That might be close enough... Using up some freezer reserves and bits and pieces at the moment.... The book ISWF arrived tonight! Hardcover.....

shelley417 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I have ISWF. I am interested to hear what you think about the book. Personally, all I need is to see my own very major improvements by adopting the lifestyle. I don't need all the science that's in the book. Having said that, I am going to get out mine and review! Don't push too hard. It was surgery! You need to recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelley417 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Wish I could send you the soup. Do you have a slow cooker? It takes 2 minutes to throw in the chicken and vegetables and water. Here is what I also learned from this site. 1. I keep frozen veggie scraps and herbs in the freezer (not onion) and then I just throw them in the crockpot with fresh onion. 2. I can get 2 pots of soup from a chicken. The first one I described and the second one by returning the bones to the crockpot with veggies and water.

melbournegirl Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Day 3 feeling much better today Went for a walk Had pork rinds, sweet potato, broccoli, beans, eggs and apple for breakfast (Jess inspired, haven't had a hash for awhile...) Made a big salad with a beef burger for lunch.... Still drinking cocoa, hope its not gluten cross reactive.... Must really try a week without it but not this week.... Went for a brisk walk on a work break, feeling much more mobile Dinner was salmon, zucchini, beans, pumpkin and sweet potato plus pine nuts, raspberries and an egg I have a cast iron slow cooker, haven't used it to cook soup in the oven before for some reason... Next time I have bones! Put some coconut oil on my cuts... Nearly healed and want soft scars if possible! Have a good day all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelley417 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Yesterday: breakfast : 2 egg muffins Lunch: salad with chicken and hard boiled egg Dinner: steak and green beans. Still feel a little nauseous today. Tired. But it's amazing what I take for granted now-- no more getting up at night with hot flashes (although I do get up), no need to drink, no need to get on a scale. Good stuff. How are you today?

melbournegirl Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 Day 4 Went for an early walk in soft rain, in preparation for a 2 day workshop! Feeling so much happier, it's amazing what good food and sleep can do! M1 chicken casserole and a slice of watermelon M2 tuna avocado salad M3 egg, soup, a few cashews M4 whitefish, veges, cantaloupe Hope you get a good night sleep tonight Shelley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelley417 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Yesterday: M1: 2 eggs, 1/2 avocado and hot sauce M2: 2 egg muffins and 1/2 sweet potato M3: 3 oz steak and a big bowl of chicken soup It was a leftover day! Fell asleep at 8:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelley417 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 What kind of workshop? Are you leading or participating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournegirl Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 I'm project managing a business "breakthrough" team 3 days a week for about 6 weeks. This was our third get together, one more next week then a week to pull it all together and present the findings. I'm hoping the higher profile will help me get a new job but its hard work, hard to tell how it's going too but at least it's paying the bills.

melbournegirl Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 Day 5, decided to sleep an extra hour rather than go out in the rain M1 pork rind casserole and cantaloupe M2 boiled eggs and salad and fruit salad M3 pork, soup, tomatoes, cashews, mandarin Brisk ten minute walk... Ready for bed..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelley417 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 What is a business breakthrough team-- what kind of business (politely asks that not for profit exec and fundraiser!). M1: 2 egg muffins ( I made a lot of these last Sunday!) M2: 2 Tb vegetable curry, 4 figs (terrible lunch but in a breakdown) M3: meatballs, tomato sauce and spaghetti squash. Salad with tomatoes, hearts of palm and cucumbers and onion. M4: 1 Tb Ben and Jerry's heath bar crunch crunch ice cream ( my husbands favorite and I was serving him) A true confession and I'm really sorry for letting you down. but also a breakthrough. I did NOT eat the whole pint! Even though I was in major breakdown. And I did not even want the whole pint. No craving after. Maybe I am breaking this addiction.

shelley417 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Day 6. M1: 2 fried eggs and sweet potato M2: carrots and homemade babaghanoush, salad and dressing M3: spaghetti squash tomato sauce and grilled chicken. Sushi tonight. Sashimi for me.

M1 pork mince and bacon plus a squash stuffed with fruit, and some tomato juice M2 beef burger and a large salad with pine nuts M3 pumpkin soup, steak, sd tomatoes and fruit plus some cashews, cocoa and an egg dessert with blueberries One of my incisions is septic due to an undissolved stitch... Was able to remove it and treat with betadine... Hope it's better in the morning, it's been bothering me all day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
