Week 1 almost over

It's Sunday night and almost one whole week since we startet the #Banting way of life. Cravings wrrent realy bad,if at all,just the withdrawel headaches for bith of us. I'm a chocolate girl and he is a chips and biscuit guy ,together we are coke zero and tab people,lol.

I cant wait to wheighin tomorrow to see what has actualy happened here!

Yesterday I did bake a banting bread and it is DISGUSTING. Now I know I did something wrong,but damn,no thankyou!

I also managed  a cauli pizzawith some left over chicken and it was Yum!

The best thing I think wasthe Beef Shepards pie we had for supper.

FOllowed by a devine Mocha Choca LCHF cake with homemade lpLCHF choc Mousse,

Our Sunday ritual is normaly to go for an afternoon drive ending up somewhere for ice cream and afterwards at Wimpy for Coffee and a plate of chips or a burger. None of that today *sobbng* ,but hey I get a choccie when I reached 10kg lost!!!

Day 4 on LCHF

It's Thursday 31 July 2014 @ 12:21pm and I am officialy 4.2kgs lighter than I was 3 days ago. All of this while eating foods that has been told is bad for me my whole life.

I seriously cant believe this,I dont care (again) if it's water wheight or whatever. It's 4.2kg! I realy do hope that this will be a constant loss since it is quite a bit expensive to change to this lifestyle.

The good thing is that we are eating some foods that we never concidered before. Like last nights rump,we never buy because it's too expensive,but now we know why. It's the softest cut of meat we've ever had! Bad thing is,it confirmed my hatred for olives. It made the meal taste and smell like day ols piss! No olives ever again in this house of mine.

Breakfast has to be the best meal of everyday! Come on,who doesnt love bacon! OMG...the absolute best,no matter what the combinations.

We are Coke addicts,always being light,zero or tab,and currently we are not allowed any or at least we can have some now and then. So finding something to drink has realy got me down. Yesterday I decided to just squeeze half a lemon in aglass,fill withwater and ice and half a Stevia stick and man...was it good! I think presentation helped alot.

Now this is to almost a full week of banting,hoping that we will always see results!

Passed day 1

Here we are on day 2 of #LCHF and I lost 2kg since yesterday morning. Now I dont care if it's water or what,I am 2kg lighter than i was yesterday WHOO-HOO!

what suprised me was how good the food is...OMG...it is amazing and thats after only 2 bfasts and 1 dinner!

I would love to post some pics of the tasty food,but again,my tab is full of crap.

The only thing bothering me now is that I have an extreme sweet tooth and I am currently craving a choccie or even some plain Lays! I do have a headache (looks like withdrawel) and I'm eagerly waiting for the energy to kick in,the good sleep to start and my insulin resistance to be better.

Now I have a long way to go,but if the food is this good,then I'm happy to keep going. Even if I end up brokr because of it,lol.

realmealrevolution.com  is worth a look,i'm hoping to walk a long road with this.

Starting the #Banting life!

This has been a challenfging year so far. Not many of our goals has been acchieved. Our health has declined,our finances with that and many more to mention,BUT THE CHANGE STARTS HERE!

Ever heard of Tim Noakes,LCHF or Banting?

Since reading (and seeing online) success stories about the bamting lifestyle,I decided to order the book, The Real Meal Revolution, and see what it's all about. Now  I could hardly believe the dishes being served up! That is the thing that almost completely got me going on this. No drab food being steamed and boiled and grilled...no fat free milk...no not using butter...just full fat fatty fat fat fat! Can you believe it!

 Now knowing that my household budget will take a hit (mind you,first wèeks food cost me half my monthly budget) and that it will take some planning AND most of the foods we have neva ate before,we thought WHAT THE HELL,LETS DO IT.

So tomorrow will be day one, I roasted a chicken and veggies for our meal at lunch and will be preparing yummy yum yum bacon and eggs with spinach for breakfast. I will be posting again tomorrow to update on day 1.

Here's a glass of buttery goodness on our investment in our health.

TJORTS!

1st outing

So,our year started. We have friends who live in Italia and they/she comes home once a year over Christmas. We always make an effort to get together and go out,so this time was no different.

We went to Cape Town for the weekend for the main reason of having a night out with friends,and a nite out it was!

So we were 5 ladies,2 guys. Stuffing all 5 ladies into the smallest car available,while the 2 guys take the bigger one. Almost reaching V&A Waterfront,we have a tyre burst ON THE N2!Mark and Jeremy jumping out of the other car to assist,leaving doors open and lights on. Discovering that they cant remove the wherl brcause of a missing nut thing on the mags (i hatr mags). Now we just have to move the car to the cost garage to look into it further. Jeremy get into the small car with Shelley,the rest of us with Mark. Ready to go...NOT!!!

Our car dont want to start,because everything was left on while we were standing next to the road. Everybody out again for a push ON THE N2!

Now a side note. While all this is happening,we are very jolly,laughing,joking,taking pix and vids of all this excitement.

Getting to the Caltex Waterfront Garage,we set up camp in front of the fresh stop. Claire walking around asking people for a flat screw driver,Mark and Jeremy hammering away trying to fix the situation. Shelley going crazy dancing and singing. The rest of us just waiting. There we were for 3 hours. The insurance wont help,Shelley only has a credit card,we are hungry! End of it all a tow truck was called to come pick the car up while Mark ,Claire and I go and look for food @ 23h40!

Well Sunday we were treated yo liunch by Claires father with the family. Ending the weekend perfectly.

love the life you live!

2 catch a up...

If you have read my previous blog,you would know my story. The reason I'm not going into it,is because this is not going to be about the previous stories.

Let's do a little ketchup (get it?). Struggling with infertility on both sides,being denied to adopt (2 mention the most importantê ones) has left us tired. Emotionaly,physicaly and mentally. We made the decision to take a break from "baby" for 2014. A complete one. No talking,trying,crying,wishing,nothing to do with the topic. We'll always be praying though.

So leets start wit NYE,there's a knock at the door. A lady is there asking for me. We dont know each other,has neva seen each other before,eva. She says she has a message for me. She had a dream and God showed me to her and gave her a message to deliver to me. "HE DID NOT GIVE THE ANSWER YET" ,also to read Proverbs 16. She left without giving her name or anything. Now the scripture reads about us making plans,but god has the final say. It reads about us living right to reap the fruits. It made an impact,telling us that we were right in giving our situation to God and letting go of it. Evening comes and we go to the NYE service,ringing in the new year right. What do u know,same message,different delivery. This is a message that clearly was meant to reach us. With that we left it all in 2013,hello 2014!

To get to the point,we will be living this year! We will be doing everything we have neglected the past 6 years. This is what this new blog will be about,US,LIVING,LOVING AND PRAYING. Next time i will tell about our disastrous first outing for 2014.


Live the

life you love...
