Thought I would start a food journal, it may not be updated everyday because I'm a busy woman but its will give an idea of what we are eating. We are easing ourselves into for two reasons a) we are living with my parents atm while our house is on the market, and they are not inclined to eat the way we do and b) we don't have a pantry/fridge etc to keep for ourselves. This will change tho! My dad works away and leaves next week so we are purging the pantry etc and we are excited about getting into our new house once the old one sells and setting ourselves up.

Our breakfasts have looked like this:

Day 1: Fried egg & bacon with sliced apple.

Day 2: sliced apple and pear sprinkled with almond slithers and cinnamon (so yum)

Day 3: Fried egg on thickly sliced tomato (in place of bread, I love it).

Day 4: Banana and baby spinach smoothie (added ice)

Day 5: Steamed brochili and bacon

Lunch Day 1: Lettuce wraps ( boiled egg, sliced capsicum, sliced mushroom wrapped in lettuce)
Day 2: Lamb cutlets, capsicum and tomato diced and orange slices
Day3: Cold chicken, sliced apple, handful of dried nuts and fruit (raw mix includes cashews, almonds, brazil nuts, appricot and apple)
Day 4: tin tuna, cucumber, carrots and avocado dip (avocado and lime juice).
Day 5: Handful of cashew nuts on the run, apple, guava and baby spinach with lime juice.

Dinner Day 1: Roast lamb and chicken (its christmas) roast tomato, sweet potato and brochili
Day 2: left over lamb with apple, cucumber and carrots diced.
Day 3: Homemade sausages (dads), tomato, onion and mushroom in vinegar ( bleugh) and lettuce, carrot, beetroot salad.
Day 4: Steamed fish in oven ( brim we caught), capsicum, lettuce, carrot, mushroom and sliced apple.
Day 5:  havn't had it yet but its lamb chops and a salad.

Snacks: havn't been that "snacky" surprisingly, we have a mixed dried fruit/nut which we dip into when we feel hungry. Or we just grab and apple ...I did on day 3 get hungry and fry up two lamb cutlets.
Hubby is liking a boiled egg or two in the afternoons, or grabbing a tin of tuna.
I like the carrots/cucumber sticks with our avocado dip.


I weighted just under 60 kg and hubby 85kg.  I've dropped to 57kg (checked this morning) most of it is I believe the excess fluid I've been carrying (hey that time of month) waiting to see if its slowly creeps back on.
I grabbed a handful of cashews this afternoon without realising they are salted, I now feel a bit more bloated and am thinking I should steer clear of them and stick to the raw nut/fruit thing for emergencies. I don't always have time to fry something up as I'm on the run most days, but will reach for tin tuna in future instead.
