Well the silly season is almost over.... we still have Australia Day weekend to get past and then maybe we can get on with our new life time eating plan.
I personally have been feeling like crap since New Year. Mostly staying on the plan with only a couple of very minor hiccups but it seems my body doesn't like the change. I have been feeling sick some days and most days feel like I am coming down with a cold or flu. Not sleeping well at all. So I am not looking forward the the weekend where it is going to be very hard to avoid those foods that I am trying to give up like alcohol and sugar :-(
Lester does not see the point of giving up alcohol and gets quite cranky with me when I say he shouldn't drink it even if its just for 1 month ??
As for the whole 30 after reading an interesting post the other day I have decided that we probably wont be doing it. Why you say?
A whole 30 implies there is an end to it and on day 31 you just go back to the old ways that's not what I want to do I want this to be our lifestyle our way of eating for the rest of our days so with that in mind I have cleaned out our pantry and threw out all the foods we won't be eating (except for a small supply of flour and sugar just in case I need it). I know thats not exactly what I should do but its all right up on the top shelf and the rest of the shelves are filled with nuts, almond meal, coconut flour and cans of coconut milk and tomatoes and fish all very Paleo below the top shelf :-)
Looking forward to end true end of the silly season !

Post Christmas Catch UP
Well...... Christmas was not exactly as I had planned. We knew we would step outside the plan but.... I just fell totally off the wagon. Told myself I wouldn't consume any chocolate... But Lindt Balls are Paleo Right???
Everything went totally down hill at new year with drinks and chocolates, bread and anything else we could eat.
On the bright after the "festive Season" we got back on track. It has been a little bit of a struggle but I think we are winning. I still have trouble with Lester and Alcohol he doesn't seem to think it matters if he has a couple here and there but thats that really learning anything about how his body works. Anyway we will keep trying to stay on track.
Australia Day long weekend coming up and we are spending it at a friends place which will include plenty of eating and drinking. I personally am not looking forward to getting off track which unfortunately is inevitable no matter how much I tell myself I won't.
The main problem is getting back on track and the yukky feeling of "Carb Flu" which seems to be very hard on us. My theory on this is due to our age and the amount of time we have been eating bread etc and it takes longer to get your system back into gear burning fat instead of sugar.
On a positive note I am going to try to limit my bread and sugar intake as well as alcohol..... I can only try :)
