Week 3 of this Paleo challenge threw a few more obstacles in
my path, but I feel like I’ve kept on track relatively well, despite illness, work
stresses and the Australia Day long weekend.
In celebration of Australia Day I made some awesome little
raw ‘lamington truffle balls’ from a recipe on the Skinnymixers website. They
are so delicious! And so cute! Hard to just stop at one! Free from gluten,
grains, dairy, refined sugar… basically Paleo… totally YUM!!

I decided to relax a bit over the long weekend and have a few
drinks, but I still kept my diet pretty well in check. No gluten or dairy
anyway!
In 3 weeks I’ve lost 4kg and am feeling pretty awesome,
getting lots of compliments from family, friends and even random people on the
street. It’s very encouraging!
So there’s only one more week of the actual challenge, but I
plan to continue on with the lifestyle as much as I can, although I may relax the legume rule a
little (I really MISS proper hummus!!). I’ll slowly introduce a few different things
and see how they affect me, and just take it slowly. I definitely feel that gluten has been a major irritant for me, so hopefully I can steer clear of it from now on.
This week Monday is a public holiday, and we’ll be having
BBQ for lunch and dinner (possibly breakfast too – it is Australia Day after all).
For the rest of the week I’m mainly going to be repeating meals that we’ve
really enjoyed along the way.
- Tuesday – Prawn and chilli pasta sauce with zoodles
- Wednesday – Singapore Noodles with Kelp noodles
- Thursday - Beef madras curry with cauli rice
- Friday - Vietnamese Chicken Meatza
- Saturday – Steak with sweet potato chips and slaw
- Sunday – Lamb roast with pumpkin, parsnips, carrots and greens
I hope everyone's January has gone to plan, and that you're feeling confident and proud of your achievements!
