Despite having only 5 hours sleep (I'm preparing the slide show for the before mentioned event!) I actually feel pretty damn good this morning, possibly the new healthy living? It has been such an exciting change for my family, every body is on board and completely doing it! The kids eating habits are improving, they are becoming more and more happy to eat their whole meals instead of constantly snacking throughout the day! Having to cook 3 meals a day has made me a lot more organised in general! My house isn't a complete bomb (It's far from perfect either!!) but I think my favourite thing of all is that we're doing it together! It's such an awesome feeling doing something, that would generally be a bit of a challenge but something that's so great for us all, together!
I'm pretty sure we all had some pretty intense withdrawal symptoms earlier in the week! Matt and I both had very unsettled tummies for the first 2 days and Izzie had a couple of vomits Tuesday morning (could have been completely unrelated!) .... Matt and I both agreed that the closest feeling we could relate it to was having a nasty hangover! Who would have though withdrawing from sugar/dairy/wheat and all the other crap could of been so bad!?! It was good though, it kind of confirmed just how bad the stuff we were eating was and just how much of a hold it had on us and our lives! Anyways I've had some fun playing around with "paleo" recipes including a tasty Thai beef and coconut curry on cauliflower "rice" which we had for tea last night (sorry forgot to take a photo of it!), I am really enjoying the quality and tastiness of the food, stoked!!

| Breakfast this morning :) Bacon cups with eggs, mushroom, zucchini & garlic inside, on a salad of red mizuno, rocket, basil, coriander and avocado. Oh and a lemon & Olive oil dressing. Who says you can't have salad for brekkie!?! |

| This was a special "lunch dessert" treat for the kids because they've done such a good job with the whole transition, these were ultra simple banana pancakes (3 bananas, 1 egg, 1/4 cup ground cashews cooked in coconut oil) topped with a dollop of coconut cream and some organic blueberries. Gosh they were tasty (I did only have 2 thought, learning how to not binge :p ) |

| This was my lunch yesterday. Mexican beef with guacamole! Nom nom nom..... |
We've had a pretty heavy week with training, although we took the night off on Tuesday, as we were both feeling pretty horrid! But made up for it last night with what was supposed to be a "light" train but gosh ... ouch! Husband got his adjustable kettlebells in the mail earlier this week and so we gave them a crack last night! With one armed swings on the agenda I decided Matt's 24kg kettlebell was a bit too heavy so he "custom-made" me a weight with the adjustable bell with which I used during the train ..... later husband told me the kettlebell weighed 22kg .... I was thinking more like 16-18kg ... so feeling a bit stoked with myself! Plus we replaced bear crawls with mountain climbs because a lack of space and gosh I pretty much almost left my dinner all over the floor! I was really pushing it! 3 sets of 60 mountain climbs ..... blurgh!! But I did it and I'll do it again I'm sure :)
Alrightie really must get back to this slideshow making!! Have a super day all and hopefully I'll post again soon but probably more likely after the weekend :D x
