Day 6

Today I feel clearer in my head, and when I wake up, thats it - I'm up!  No fogginess at all in my mind, and its the first morning I don't feel like I really want a coffee. Which is good cos I don't like it at all with almond milk.

Breakfast:
More muesli-type cereal, so yummy!  Just reminds us of having oats.  Splashed a bit of coconut milk in there as well just to use up the one I had in the fridge from yesterday.  Again with fresh blueberries and bananas on top today.

Morning tea:
A piece of casharoo and some lemon balls.  Keeping it simple!  Also grabbed a plum and apricot to nibble on (they are yummy too but so small!)

Lunch:
Leftover roast vegetable bake from last night plus some bacon that we baked in the oven (my first time).  Mmm crispy bacon!  A bit fattier than I normally have it though, normally I cook it in my grill.

Afternoon tea:
A boiled egg (post workout snack) and some carrot sticks with zucchini dip.

Dinner:
Chicken & Zucchini orange skewers and vegetables.  They were really yummy and easy to make!  Will definitely have to try that one again :)

Dessert:
We forgot to do our normal banana ice cream up before the kids went to bed, and we didn't want to wake them with the sound of the thermomix, so I decided to do something different. I chilled a can of coconut cream in the freezer for a while, then mixed it with some cacao and peppermint essence (it was only after eating it that I realised it contained glycerine and it probably isn't a paleo ingredient - doh!).  Then it went sort of mousse like, so I put some in a cup, put some blueberries in, then some more mousse, then strawberries, mousse, then cherries, mousse - and sprinkled cacao nibs on top.  It was quite nice, would have been nicer had it been put back in the freezer for a bit I think.

 

Supper:

Cup of tea, casharoo and lemon balls :)

I also realised today that I'm feeling happier, not sure if thats a side effect from trialing this or just a nice coincidence.  I'll see how I feel tomorrow!  (to demonstrate how "happy" I have been, Speedy got into the red paint today, and put paint on the carpet and through a lot of the house, and all over herself - and we didn't smack or anything - just got into the job of getting it out of it as best we could.  I have more energy and motivation for cleaning the house too, and anyone who has been to my house knows that can only be a good thing.)
