Whole 30 Day 23

Just a quick update - So yesterday was Day 23. 

Only a week left til Day 30.

I am enjoying eating like this.

I feel so much better in myself for sure. 

So for lunch I had a salmon salad.

I have noticed though that some brands of smoked salmon contain sugar.  So ALWAYS read the label.  The one I get at Morrison's doesn't but I have noticed when label reading that the Sainsbury's one does.  Not sure about Tesco, Waitrose or Asda. 

I also grabbed an Americano from Starbucks and added some coconut milk to it when I got home

In the evening I had salmon (again) - I do eat a lot of salmon.  I roasted some veg to serve with it.

Right I best get back to my Yoga assignment.  I am enjoying doing it as I feel I am learning a lot.  I can see why they say you learn a lot when you are teaching.

Will leave you with a photo of one of our babies.

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 :)
