Day 10 of whole30

1/3 of the project!

Day 10 went fine I wasn't feeling the best. Not much to say about the day, it was just one of the day we wants to end! 

Food wise I did perfect though no issue following the diet and I have realized that my hair feels and looks healthy! This is an amazing side effect!

Ysterday was work out day and I went for a 5km walk. It took me 1 hour so the speed is still a bit slow come pared to the school goal of walking 30km in 5 hours divided in 3 days.

I didn't get to take any pictures of other meals than dinner! 

Breakfast:

Usual 2 eggs, ½ avocado and a yellow pepper.

Lunch:

Left over Osobuco with the smashed vegetables and a handful nuts.

Dinner:

Chicken balls made out of 2 chicken breast chopped and mixed with one egg and tons of spices. Side is some panned eggplant and a salad of cabbage and carrots. For the healthy fat I had ½ avocado. 

This meal was sooo good! But the eggplants takes to much oil on the pan so next time I will make them in the oven!

Day 9 of Whole30

Wow it is going fast!

I didn't get to post my day 9 yesterday, as my night ended fast. The day was fine and went by fast as I had tons of things to study. I didn't have much cravings nor pain! It is actually something I haven't been focusing on that much here on my blog, but I have been having tons of issues with pain in my body. I use to be sick all the time. My head, knee, hips, feet or belly would hurt, but all that pain seems to be going away! HELL YEAH!!! 

Food wise things seems to be going well. I am not really suppose to be counting calories on the whole30, but because of my school project I decided to do that! (You can check more about my school project here: http://32kginayear.blogspot.com.ar/2013/10/school-project-presentaion.html) 

On day 9 I had around 1700 calories. Which is around the amount I have everyday actually. My body uses around 2200 calories a day. So I am under that by 500 calories a day. 

- 500 calories a day * 7 days = - 3500 calories a week. One kilo of fat is 7000 calories so by eating like this I should loss around 0,5 kilo a week. This is with out exercising. But it isn't this simple of cause tons of other things will influence. Such as mussels gain, water level you name it!

Breakfast:

3 eggs, 1 avocado together with panned vegetables: 1 mushroom, ½ onion and 3 cherry tomatoes. 

Lunch:

I didn't take a picture but it was just the left over soup from the night before.

Dinner:
Osobuco made with carrot, cellery and tomato. Together with a smashed butternut squash, carrot and sweet potato mixed with one egg yolk. SOOOO GOOD!! :)

School project presentaion

Welcome to my weight loss blog! I have been on and off diets most of my life. I guess my weight has been what some people will call yoyo weight it goes down with 5kg and then I fast gain 10kg again. The result of a tons of diets my weight hits it top in Maj 2012. With a weight of 115kg. I knew it was time to do something about my health. I lost 16kg in 5 month but once again I started to gain weight. It took me back to my top weight again in August 2013. I have since then realized that now is my last changes!
My start on a better health started again in September 2013 and since then I have gone from 115kg to 112.6kg.
I am following the ideas behind Paleo and right now I am in the middle of my whole30. It is a plan where you cut everything out of your diet expect whole organic food. So no sugar, sweetener, grain ect.  
Paleo is about eating healthy and clean. It is about eating things that isn't processed and doesn't contain unhealthy E-numbers. So basically it is about eating how human ate back in the stone age (Paleo = Stenalderkost). My meals is therefor a mix of meat, vegetables, some fruit, and healthy fat.
I do care for exercise but it isn't my main focus point in this first part of my journey.

Goals for the next 2 months of the school project:

- Have a 3.6 kg weight loss. (Which will make me weight 109kg)
- Walk 3 times a week. (Long walks)
   - By the end of the 2 months I want to walk 30km a week in the time of 5 hours. (Divided in 3 days.)

Follow my way though the weight loss project. I will keep posting my food during the whole 30 and come with daily status of how my health is improving.

Day 8 weigh in

First week is done! 

I went on the scale hoping to see a loss. I lost 0,5kg during the first week, I guess I would have wished for more but my body just doesn't loss weight that fast. Anyway I am really happy with the result so far, I feel better, I have more energy, and most important less headache and no stomach pain! See that is amazing. I am sure this whole 30 is healthy both Emilio and I can feel the progress.
First week done and I feel pretty sure that we will accomplish the next 22 days with just as much success.
My blog will change a bit over the next 2 months as I as a part of a school class has to improve my healthy and document the progress in a training-blog. My goal is to loss 3.6 kg in those 2 months but more about the school project in my next post!

Today I had a little work out around 5 km.

Breakfast:
egg omelet made on 2 eggs stuffed with ½ tomato and 2 tbsp chicken. Topped with avocado and ½ an apple on the side.

Lunch:

Lots of cabbage with a bit of olive oil and a piece of steak.

 Pre-workout meal:
½ apple and a handful nuts

Dinner:
Chicken soup with vegetables and chicken together with a handful pistachios. NAM

Day 7 first week!

Wow first week is over! It has been a lot easier than what I was expecting! Yes I did have the headache, wanted to quit, felt hungry between meals... But over all it has been easy and has already made a change in my health! I am over my headaches, done feeling hungry but not all done feeling like quieting. Though I am sure I will finish it!
Today was a really good day, I woke up after a bad sleep but my day has been really good. I haven't done much other than using my laptop but it has been nice and relaxing!
Status after first week is that my body defiantly works better with out gluten!
My skin has turned REALLY bad but I am expecting that to change soon.. As I think it is a result of my body getting clean. So far I can't see any differences in my body shape but Emilio thinks he can see something. Not convinced though :)
About the scale I won't be able to give you an answer before tomorrow. I am really hoping to see a lower number but not sure about that. No matter what then I will continue this challenge and finishing it.

No talk about Coke Zero yet?!!! Yes I do miss it and I could have a could glass out it right NOW!! but during the day it isn't something that I miss anymore! Wow!!

I had to much food once again, specially dinner wasn't healthy with all the chicken wings but dam it was tasty.

Best breakfast:
scramble eggs, ½ tomato, ½ avocado and one Chorizo.  (Yes I probably shouldn't have had the Chorizo but it was so tasty and  not something I have everyday)

Lunch:
Cabbage, carrot panned with leftover meat mixed with the rest of the carry soup we had the other day!

Dinner:
Cabbage, little bit of orange, the cooked vegetables from the chicken stuck Emilio made and way to many spicy chicken wings. Lovely meal but but but way to much fat!
I will stay of chicken wings for a while now!

Day 6 Birthday party!

Yesterday was day 6 and the first day where I knew that there would be a big challenge. It was my future father in laws 60th birthday = PARTY = Soda, cake, snacks and of cause an Argentine barbecue. Normally Emilio and I follow the "danish" eating schedule which means dinner between 6-7.. But at his families house dinner is normally not served before 10.. With out a snack in the middle it seems to be forever between lunch and dinner. We decided to deal with it by having normal breakfast, then going for a 8 km walk.. We were back home around 11:30 and decided to eat a post work out meal to push the lunch a few hours. That way we had lunch at 3 and dinner at 10!
The party was fine with just as much temptation as expected, but I did fine.. I took my own cabbage salad and had it with my barbecue.. I did have way to much meat but I didn't drink any soda or ate any cake! Way to go!! :)
I didn't remember to take pictures yesterday :)

Breakfast:
Omelet with leftovers meat and half a red pepper.

Post work out meal:
½ avocado, 1 egg, little bit of red pepper and some pistachio nuts. YUM!

Lunch:
1 big steak with a tomato

Dinner:
Lots of cabbage and TONS of meat.. Chorizo, Ribs (plane with out barbecue sauce), Matambre and a bit of chicken.

Okay I did eat to much meat I know but hey I didn't eat sugar, grain or anything else that I am not suppose to!

Day 5 it is getting hard

Yesterday was day 5 and the hardest so far!
I wasn't feeling bad or anything but my cravings was ridicules. Thank god there wasn't anything unhealthy in the apartment because else the day would have been bad.. I got through the day staying 100 % on track... My old habits of turning to food might have an influences as well.. Lets just say yesterday wasn't funny...

Breakfast:
2 sunny eggs with ½ red pepper and some almonds.

 Lunch:
Left overs from the day before.. As we had a cleaning lady doing our apartment I was eating this cold in bed which made it even better! YUM

Dinner:

Carry soup! Made with asparagus, carrot, coconut flour, carry, chili, garlic, ginger, chicken and homemade stock. It was spicy but pretty good..

 Felt like giving up?! Yes millions of time today.. But I am doing this!
