More yumminess

This has got to be a record for me. I am actually sticking to the whole primal-eating thing and feeling great (well, as great as you can feel when you are in a constant state of sleep deprivation!) I am having the occasional naughty thing like a chocolate bar here and there or (GASP!) McDonalds (I didn't eat the bun though, just enjoyed those juicy juicy patties :P) but overall I am being terribly healthy. Most days consist of eggs and shrooms/zucchini etc for breakfast, salad for lunch and salad with a good bit of meat for dinner. I also bought a juicer so have been having fun experimenting with different flavours and getting more greens into my diet. I find it interesting that I am wanting 'bad' foods less and less, for example I am only having almond pancakes maybe once a week when previously I could have (but didn't!) happily eaten those delicious things every day of the week! My meals are more or less variations of what I posted last time with the occasional new addition like the delicious 'Hawaiian Chicken' I made last week. I seem to be snacking less too which should help lower my overall intake and although I decided not to cut potatoes from my diet, I have been eating far less because I just don't find myself craving their starchy goodness like I used to. I jumped on the scales at Mum's house the other weekend and won't be checking my weight again until the next time I am there which will be at Christmas but I am hoping to see a difference of at least a few kg. If I can lose weight the way I am eating at the moment, it will be a breeze getting to my goal weight because I could happily keep this up forever! Some of my yummies lately:

Hawaiian Chicken with avocado, mango and pinenut salsa

Zucchini scrambled eggs with fetta and pinenuts

Burger salad

Burrito Salad

The new girls are both laying now though the eggs are a little small - I am still having to buy some eggs to keep up with demand because Evie has become addicted to our scrambled eggs each morning (which is WAY better than the vegemite on toast she was having previously).

The garden is coming along nicely though not producing much as it is in that in-between-seasons rut. The winter stuff is going to seed and the summer stuff hasn't kicked off yet. I have lots of seedlings growing away out the back and can't wait to plant them out and watch them grow!

Lots of stuff going to seed and calendula everywhere!

Not much on this side yet, waiting for seedlings to go in
