Whole 30 day 18-20.. went to the summer cabin for the weekend.

Still doing a the whole30, however this weekend i did “cheat” on saturday when I went to a dinner we were invited to. I had some wine and sauce to the fish that was served. On Sunday evening on our way home I also ended up having kabob with rice and creamy garlic sauce ( i thought they were going to give me the tomato sauce). It was very interesting because I felt a difference really fast in my body. It is strange how quickly I can feel a difference. I will continue to do the whole 30, and even if i will not have done it 100 % correct I still feel like it’s been fantastic and I still have some days to go. I don’t feel like a failure, and no one should just because things didn’t go like planned. We just need to continue to do the best we can and not give up 😀

Whole30 day 3-5 done whohooo :D a new brekfast recipe up!

Helloooo 😀 The Whole30 is going great and I feel good. I’ve had some busy 3 days with work, friends and having fun. Went to pick blueberries on friday with my friend. We got these berry pickers which made it a lot easier to pick the blueberries. However we didn’t like the surprise of spiders, ticks and some other creepy crawly things that came with it hahaha. We will go out again next week to get some more blueberries before the season is over.

 

I also changed gyms yesterday, or I quit my old on friday and signed up at a new gym yesterday. A lot of my friends go to this new gym so now I will join them. I think it will help me and motivate me to go to the gym more often, also we can push each other too.

So on thursday I tried a new breakfast and it was very good. I had it for breakfast for 3 days it was that good. I could probably eat it for a few more days. But I decided to not do that it might get boring then hehehe

Uh-oh this weekend was a challenge, but it’s ok.

The last few days I have been very busy and have not been able to post anything. I also deviated from the challenge, however I am back and I will not start over on day one but just continue a few more days instead 🙂

Last week was a challenge, I started a new job two weeks ago and there is so much to learn, and my head have been on overload hahaha. I also worked really late, and that I’m not used to. So I was kind of exhausted in my brain this weekend. On saturday I ended up eating at TGI Fridays had a burger with gluten free bun and a few fries, I also had 2 mojitos. And on yesterday on sunday I had nachos at my sisters house. My stomach ended up in so much pain after dinner yesterday it was still hurting this morning. I’m not going to punish myself for failing this weekend.. it is just getting back on the wagon again. Now 24 hours later my stomach is still hurting a little bit.

Today I had nut porridge topped with berries for breakfast and a purple green juice. For lunch and dinner I had taco pie i made last week 🙂

• 1 tbsp flax seeds
• 1 dl (0.4 cups) coconut milk

2. Put the eggs, banana coconut milk and water in a mixer and bled.
3. Pour in the nuts and stir.
4. Boil in a pot while you stir, until you’ve got the right consistency.
5. Add the cinnamon and cardamom.
6. Top with some berries. Enjoy!

Hon ville mötas över en lunch vid 11ish, eftersom jag behövde äta jag tyckte det var en bra idé att gå och chatta över en måltid. Hoppade i duschen, klädde och stack iväg.

Had a great day and lots of energy thanks to my workout today 😀

I’m starting off the new year working out. I have been going regularly for the past 2 month and I am really happy about that. Robin Dorvil https://www.facebook.com/robins.dorvil?fref=ts or dmotiv8or on instagram is doing the Dmotiv8orChallenge. It is a 12 week challenge starting on monday the 6th. Here is the official challenge https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152101887560817&set=a.10150095001085817.271881.672615816&type=1&theater    You have 7 days to get ready mentally.

I’m really excited. http://www.whole9life.com/2013/08/the-whole30-program/ I have done it twice this year it was great, I have been eating a lot of foods I shouldn’t have lately. Especially now during the holidays and I feel the side effects it is having on me. So I am starting off the new year kicking butt. There is a lot of great Whole30 recipies out there, you can google them. I will be posting as much as possible.

Before my workout this moring I had a mmmm yummy smoothie. It is really important to eat before woking out to fuel the body with nutrients. I tend to choose a smoothie in the mornings because you only need 45 min to 1 hour to digest. It is always better to eat a full breakfast. However you need about 2 hours to digest before working out.

Green Pineapple Smoothie + This is Christmas Show. Pics from my lovely sunday!

Had a fantastic day today. Started the day with a really tasty Pineapple Green Smoothie. Then by 11 went to the gym and had a cardio/ streching day. It felt great, and it was the 4th time this week I worked out 😀 After the gym came home and cooked some yummy foods to eat, before I got ready to go to see This is Christmas show that my church Hillsong Stockholm produced.

Mmmmm paleo breakfast hot cerial/ porridge & of course a smoothie too!

I have been MIA for a little bit. Have some things going on in my life and I was silly to eat oatmeal and ended up with severe stomach issues. Well at least I know I can’t eat oats anymore. And after that I came down with a little cold, most likley because my immunesystem was compromised after the stomach episode. I have also been in a brain fog for a little bit. It comes and goes, so I’m working on figuring out what is triggering it for me. It is at times very debilitating, makes me unable to think clearly or focus. So time on the computer has been limited.

I have a few posts coming up the next few days of the foods and goodies I have made the last few weeks. I love that I have become a foodie, food sometimes consumes my life hahaha. I tend to spend a lot of my days off to prep and cook for the day or 2, however I need to start making more big quantities to store in the freezer. I love love love breakfast it is my favorit meal of the day!!!! I made some really good paleo porridge and bluegreen smoothie today. Totally yummylisious!!!!!!!

SWEDISH

Jag har varit borta från webben ett tag. Har några saker som händer i mitt liv och jag var dumt nog att äta havregrynsgröt och det slutade med allvarliga mag problem. Men nu vet jag åtminstone att jag inte kan äta havre längre. Och efter det så blev jag förkyld, troligtvis så äventyrades mitt immunförsvar efter magen episoden. Jag har också varit i en ‘hjärndimma’ eller brain fog ett tag. Det kommer och går, så jag jobbar på att räkna ut vad som utlöser det för mig. Det gör mig oförmögen att tänka klart eller fokusera. Så tid på datorn har varit begränsad.

Jag har några inlägg kommer upp de närmaste dagarna av de livsmedel och godsaker som jag har gjort de senaste veckorna. Jag älskar att jag har blivit en foodie, mat konsumerar ibland mitt liv hahaha. Jag tenderar att spendera en hel del av mina lediga dagar till prep och laga mat för dagen eller 2, men jag måste börja göra fler stora mängder för att förvara i frysen. I love love love frukost är min favorit måltid på dagen!! Jag gjorde en riktigt bra paleo gröt och en blågrön smoothie idag. Riktigt yummylisious!!!
