B - A piece of courgette frittata and a leftover chicken thigh from yesterday.
L - Leftover steak with sautéed bell pepper and scallion with roasted butternut squash and spinach.
D - Two small pieces of cod baked with olive oil, chili and lemon with mashed carrots an butternut squash.
After dinner (eep) - Some roasted sweet potato and a little cold chicken.
- Today was like super tough. I felt so hungry between meals despite having loads of fats and protein. I couldn't figure it out at all until I realised that my period is due in the next day or so. I was like, oh. So that's why I had some sweet potato and chicken tonight after dinner - I just felt so hungry and I know I need the extra energy this time of the month.
- Also I found it incredibly hard to eat the chicken thigh this morning. I just found it so gross eating something so fatty at that hour of the morning?! Is this something I'll adjust to? Time will tell.
- Totally moving away from the plan in Practical Paleo already! Her recipes are just so bland and unexciting to me. :-/ Like when I made the frittata I added way more herbs and seasoning than was suggested as I knew it would need it. Today I just added the chili to my cod, but tomorrow I think I'm supposed to be eating turkey with sage. I'm not going to last if I'm just eating plain meat with a bitta herbs! So it's gonna be a turkey curry. Sorrynotsorry.
- No weight loss yet, but I typically put on 2-3 pounds during the week of my period so I'm not going to stress. :-)
