How is everyone doing/feeling?
I had a headache last night, and am feeling pretty sluggish.....but I guess that's what happens when I detox my body from sugar :) I know that it will all be worth it.
So far the food has been easy, as I have been home. Tomorrow I leave for Halifax for 5 nights....which will be difficult, eating at hotels & airports....but I can do it!
Post your meals/thoughts/questions to comments!!

I had a massive sugar craving last night, as well as a cheeky headache, but today I feel pretty good.
ReplyDeleteBreakfast this morning was
2eggs, flank steak, onion and mushrooms.
Black coffee and a banana.
Lunch is packed:
Tomato salad(tomatoes, garlic, pinch of sea salt, crushed red pepper, teaspoon of olive oil and tbsp of water) on top of mixed greens.
Organic roast chicken without the skin, and half an avacado.
Dinner is a mystery still :)
Couldn't eat the soup and sandwich they had at the hall, so lunch was a big salad with chicken breast, yellow peppers, fresh salsa and fresh guacamole, lots of water to wash it down, yum!

The biggest challenge that I am having right now is GUM!! I am so used to popping a peice of gum in my mouth after lunch at the office...but it's full of sugar, and therefore not allowed :(
ReplyDeleteIt's funny you should mention gum, because Dan and I were just discussing the fact that I can't have any artificial sweeteners which means no gum. Not too big a deal for me - can't chew while I teach - but something I hadn't thought about at first.
ReplyDeleteBreakfast: I tried making this smoothie that had 1/2 can coconut milk, frozen berries, some fresh blackberries and a tiny bit of pure vanilla extract. The recipe suggests adding a raw egg - but I'm not sold on this yet. It was pretty good but I need to add something to make it more filling for breakfast. I was thinking a banana would be easiest, or perhaps some almond powder (is that the same thing as almond flour?).
Lunch: We had an awesome mexican salad - organic ground beef with a bunch of spices (paprika, cumin, chilli powder and cinnamon) and diced tomatoes on a bed of romaine lettuce, with chopped red/yellow peppers and avocado. Salsa on top. So good!
Snack: some grapes
Dinner: About to make a salad with the leftover roast chicken I have from last night.
I do have a headache right now, but I can't decide if it's from the head cold I've had since before New Years or the lack of sugar. Probably a combo :)
Kirdy - you are doing awesome!
ReplyDeleteFor the smoothie - you can't use almond flour...
But you definitely need some protein in the morning...could you fry a couple of eggs in coconut oil to have as well??
If time is an issue - hard boil a couple of eggs the night before!!
Snack: apple and almond butter
ReplyDeleteDinner: BBQ rib eye steak, grilled peppers, baked yam fries
Snack: ham slices
ReplyDeleteDinner: BBQ rib eye steak, grilled peppers, baked yam fries (with olive oil & rosemary....so good)
Is Coconut water OK?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm going to stick with eggs in the am (I think I'll have a smoothie as a snack or on a leisurely morning).
ReplyDeleteToday I had a 2-egg omelet with leftover roast chicken, spinach, and tomato.
Snack: berries and almonds
Lunch: the mexican salad I had from yesterday (really good!).
And I agree with you, Yam fries are amazing! (I add rosemary and thyme
I know you are travelling to Halifax right now - hope it's going great! - if you get a moment, can you post your flank steak recipe? I'm thinking of braving it for next week :)
Actually feels so nice to not eat so many sweets! Indulged way too much over the holidays and I feel sluggish and bloated. Eating clean makes me feel lighter and alive! :)
ReplyDeleteBreakfast:
left over cooked chicken breast with some macademia nuts
Lunch:
Acorn squash mashed up with almond butter, raisins and walnuts. A couple of eggs and turkey bacon.
Post workout:
Fruit salad and a protein shake-not whole 30 allowed but mini-30 okay:)
Dinner:
Salmon broiled with sundried tomatoes, pine nuts and basil, parsnips fries and roasted asparagus. Some nuts and a couple of dried apricots for sweets.
