Day off work sick today – Paleo flu/ cold/ bad back = cranky Holly. After a quick frittata (egg, ham, zucchini, tomato) made by hubby before he left for work, I curled up on the couch with a hot water bottle, some tissues and the new Eat Drink Paleo e-cookbook. Irey from Eat Drink Paleo has…
Whole30 – Day 4: Turkish Breakfast Plate
Five-ish years ago when I traveled Turkey, I ate a traditional Turkish breakfast most days: eggs (usually boiled, although scrambled in fancy establishments), olives, tomato, cucumber, bread, butter & jam. It was easy and satisfying, although I do think we got bored of it after 3 weeks. Today I took inspiration from this traditional meal and came up with…
Whole 30 – Day 3
Feeling a bit rubbish today, but can’t tell if it is the Paleo transition or the cold, or both. I skipped coffee this morning and had a lemon water to sooth the sore throat. Then made a mish mash hash of ham, zucchini, spinach, tomato and 1x egg (last one left!). Was pretty tasty, but…
Whole30 – Day 2: Sick? Hungry!
Last night I had a weird dream that I was searching for Stepsils – I woke up with a sore throat, weird. Anyway downed some vitamins (turns out they are paleo!) and made another delicious breakfast before heading out the door… But by 10.30am I was starving, and this continued all day – hungry again a…
Whole 30 – Day 1 Easy Peasey
Today was pretty easy; I ate lots of delicious whole foods, generally felt satisfied, and my energy levels were fairly good….until mid afternoon. I intended to eat only 3x main meals as suggested in the Whoe30 program, however by 3.30pm I was hungry and slightly irritable – clearly missing an afternoon coffee/snack/chocolate. Today I ate:…
Whole30 Prep – Vegelicious
Today I woke up feeling a little sorry for myself after quiet a large birthday night out. I enjoyed champagne, several margaritas, a punch bowl, a nice pilsner beer, coffee flavoured tequila and a very delicious but very non-paleo friendly Asian banquet! I spent the afternoon in the kitchen preparing food for my first week…
Whole30 Challenge – Pre Body Stats
Today’s challenge – facing the camera, scales and box! Stats The Whole30 recommends recording body stats so you have something to compare to once the program is done. While weight-loss is not my main goal for going paleo, I would like to lose the muffin top, tone up my mid-section, and strengthen my arms and…
Whole30 Challenge – beginning is imminent
I never do things by halves, so I figure the best way to go paleo is to kick off with a Whole30 challenge. I’ve been considering starting for several weeks now, but kept putting it off as ‘life’ gets in the way. But I’m sick of ‘life’ making me feel crappy and am ready to give…
