Late weight in.

It has been a pretty stressing week, with all the action that was going on in our building last Tuesday. It was really scary and honestly I have probably never been as scared before. In the beginning I was freaking out by being alone, but I am feeling a lot better, now and have no issues being alone anymore.
The other thing that had stressed me is my weight loss. I honestly feel it is going to slow. Specially last weeks gain hit me hard, but I know my body sometimes act weirdly. I knew my week was good and that I ate healthy, which is probably also why it was so frustrating not to loss weight. I still believe Paleo is a healthy lifestyle and that it will help me to loss weight. Just take a look at Emilio he is kicking ass! So far he has lost more than 11 kg! So proud of him and also thankful that he keep supporting me.
I have been reading tons of stuff about carbs, and have got to the conclusion, that I will try and stay with vegetables that grows over the ground. That will I can keep my carbs down and hopefully that will make it easier for me to loss weight. So a minimum of carrot and sweet potatoes for the next month. (OH NO)
Also it is my plan to start eating some more fish. We both love fish, so it is plain stupid that we doesn't eat it some more. Another thing I am trying out, is the effect of the Argentina mate. It is a warm drink like green tea, and should help boosting my weight loss. Who know at least it makes me drink some more water.

This week went by really well. I stocked to the plan of low carb, but I had ICE CREAM one night. It was something really needed (not really but it was good anyway). I had the hope that it wouldn't fuck up my weight loss, but instead trick my body. I lost 0.8 kg which feels amazing, and even better it brings me sooo close to be under 110 kg again. I am still in the process of my school project and made myself the goal to be 109 kg by December 13th. It seems possible and shouldn't be a big deal to accomplish that!

Feeling sick :/

The last few days hasn't been good at all. I have lost my energy completely and my body has been in pain. to the fact that I have been having migraine twice this week :(

Food I have been doing excellent if you ask me. Except from yesterday night where we decided to enjoy each other and get some ice cream. I know it wont help my weight loss but it was a nice evening.

The scale isn't really showing any results which doesn't make things easier either. I think it is time to push myself to work out even though my body is in pain. Hopefully that will get my energy level up.

Tuesday was a horrible and quit scary day as the police tried to catch a criminal person, who has been living in the apartment upstairs. It ended up in a shooting episode. Crazy!!

I have decided to skip root-vegetables to eliminate carb in my diet. I will still get carb as they are in every vegetable and fruit but I will try to eat the vegetables with less than 5g of carb pr. 100g.

Weigh in will be next Wednesday.

What happened?

Wednesday I did end up having sushi and Coke zero for dinner! The weirdest thing happened, the coke tasted soooo bad!! Saying what?!! I telling myself that I must have been unlucky getting a bad coke.. Or i the truth that I can actually live with out it? One thing is for sure I am not craving it anymore!! Instead I just love my icetea!! The sushi was good! Gotta admit I love sushi and I don't see anything wrong in that, but again I know now after whole30 that I can happily live with out it! 

Apart from this one meal I have been doing great! Eating after paleo, lots of vegetables, protein and fat. Apparently it hasn't been enough as I gained 300g. It is sooo frustrating I just wanna loss weight! I am not giving up one bad week isn't what will define this journey! This week I will try to slow down on sweet potatoes and carrot that way I keep my carbs on a low limit! Also I will change some of the protein with more vegetables. 

Hopefully next week will show a big loss!!!  

Day 30 of whole 30!!!

OMG I actually did it!!!

I am a bit surprise of myself. I really wanted to do it but deep inside I just didn't believe I could do it! Here we are 31 days later looking better, feeling better and most important my level of cravings has gone down! 

The whole30 isn't about loosing weight, but about cleaning your body and get healthier! Though I did it mostly to loss weight and was hoping for some good result! 

I lost 2.8 kg during the last 30 days. 

Emilio lost 4.5 kg during the last 30 days. 

I was hoping for more a lot more to be honest! But looking back then I have lost around 600 grams a week which isn't bad considering my level of work out. Emilio is killing the scale with good result and I couldn't be happier I am sooo proud of him! 

So what is the plan now?! 

I feel good after these 30 days and not planning on going back at all! These 30 days is just a part of the long weight loss journey I have in front of me. Today I will allowed myself to eat sushi for dinner and I might even go and get myself a little Coke Zero just to see how I will react on it! But specially Coke Zero isn't coming back in my diet on a daily basic as it has been for the past 5 years! Yes I will drink coke again, but I will limit it til the days I am going out!

Dairy has been another of the things I have eliminated during the last 30 days. I love cream, hard cheese and butter and on the Paleo 2.0 these items are okay.. But after realizing that my food taste just as good with out dairy I have decided to just keeping it out on my daily diet. No reason to add those calories!!!

Chick peas and quinoa.. See that is another story! They aren't allowed on whole30 and I haven't missed them a lot, but I honestly believe that they are really healthy for me! They contain lots of calcium so I will actually take them back into my diet.. Not something I will eat every day but a few times a week I guess!

3 meals a day.. Dam that was hard in the beginning BUT now it just feels so normal.. I am normally not hungry between the meals anymore and I have therefor decided just to keep my diet to 3 meals a day on less I am starving or working out! 

Would I recommend the whole30 to other!? HELL YEAH!!! It feels so good to accomplish a goal like this and it seriously makes you feel good! 

We are back on paleo this time the strict version 1.0! Hopefully that will help me with the rest of my weight loss.. I am currently 110.4 kg so there is still 15.4 kg to the weight that I have sat as a goal for a pregnancy. With the help from Emilio I know we can do it.   

Just for the record then here is the meals from yesterday, which was day 30!

Breakfast: 

My favorite banana pancakes. Seriously you HAVE TO TRY THEM!!! I LOVE THEM!!!! On the side I had ½ avocado, mushrooms and tomato!  

Lunch: We went out for lunch and this was what I could get. Piece of meat with a carrot salad.

Dinner: I chopped sweet potatoes, onions and carrots and laid them in a tray on top I laid a whole chicken. The chicken got a marinade of lemon, parsley and salt. With it I had ½ avocado! I tell you I love baked chicken!

 Lunch: Steak and cabbage. one handful nuts and olive oil.

Day 28 of whole30

Why losing weight?

I have been watching a lot of Extreme weight loss episodes. It is so inspiring to watch these people loosing 50% of there body weight in just 1 year! They all have different reasons for why they got overweight and why they now wanna fight the kilos and get healthy. One thing they all have in commend is there low self-esteem and low self confidence. When you don't believe in your self losing weight must be hard! 

  

I am obese but not in the scale of the participants of these programs but I still have my reasons of why I got fat and why I wanna loss weight!

Weight loss motivations:
- Getting healthy for a pregnancy.
- Getting healthy and minimize my health risks.
- Being able to buy clothes in a normal store.
- Looking good on my wedding pictures.
- Makes my kids grow up in a healthy environment.
 - Loving my self and my look.

Breakfast: Banana pancake on the side mushrooms and tomatoes.

Lunch: stuffed pumpkin ( spicy grounded meat) with a red cabbage salad and avocado.

Dinner:

Steak with a salad made with: Lettuce, asparagus, avocado, tomato and celery. Spicy chili oil.

Day 27 of whole30

Stupid knee and hip! 

The pain in my hips is really starting to annoy me. I will have to get it checked out by a doctor as I am to scared of working out right now! I fear it is something bad and I mean with all the weight I am carrying around it wouldn't be weird that my knee and hips are hurting. 

The last few days I have been watching a lot of Extreme makeover weight loss edition! It is so motivating to watch these people losing 50 of there weight in just a year! They work out a lot.. 6 days of 2-6 hours of Cardio work a week + 3 days of weight lifting! 

That makes me think that if I start working out some more I can accomplish even bigger goals! There is a gym 500 meters away from our apartment so Monday we will go there! Of cause I will need to check my hips first but I think it is time to work out a lot more!!

Breakfast: Pancakes (it is basically just a thin omelet 2 eggs, ½ a banana) and a carrot! Wow those pancakes are AWESOME!!!

Lunch: Chicken lever and neck. Butternut squash fries baked in the oven and a red cabbage salad.

Chicken soup with chicken, celery, carrot, onion, garlic and chicken breast
