Whole 30 - Day Three

Today has gone really well.  I wasn't too hungry first thing which was good cos I think I have been eating breakfast too early.  Today I ate just after 8am (though I got out of bed at 5.30am) I decided to have a coffee to see if that would help me keep awake longer.  Everyone keeps saying how fab coconut milk tastes in coffee... I used to use the Kara milk coconut milk but in the book "It Starts With Food" - it says not to use that sort but instead use the canned.  I used this 

I do love the Biona range and buy quite a lot of their products. When I opened the can, I had to pour it in a jug and then whisk it.  I then poured it into one of these gorgeous jars ( I have a bit of an obsession for glass storage jars) I bought from Next Home. It's perfect for my coconut milk and fits nicely in the fridge.

You can buy this here

I am glad I had the coffee as it has stopped me being constipated and so far its 7.25pm and I am not feeling as tired as I did this time yesterday.

So this is what I made for my breakie 

- One egg (omletted), smoked salmon, avocado, mushrooms, strawberries, apple & pineapple

I had to go downtown this morning.  My car was booked in to be valeted and it meant hanging around town for a few hours.... so I went prepared 

Water & Hazelnuts.  I didn't want to get thirsty and mistake it for hunger and if it was hunger, I didn't want to risk not being able to buy something healthy or opting for something unhealthy.  As it was, I didn't feel hungry the whole time I was in town.  

When I got back I made some lunch

- mackerel, the last of the left over sweet potato mash, broccoli, hazelnuts (the ones i took into town) and blueberries

I felt full after eating this.

I didn't feel hungry all afternoon until it was time for dinner which was this

- salad leaves, grated red cabbage, grated carrot, cucumber, celery, tomatoes, prawns, olives and an olive oil and balsamic dressing. Banana, strawberries, blueberries & pineapple.

When I was walking the dogs this afternoon, I kept getting big bursts of energy... it was marvelous. 

Looking forward to Day Four :)
