I have stuck to my food plan that I made on Sunday - it's been nice being organised and having all the ingredients in stock!
However, I have gone a bit off track in the evenings the last few days (wine, toast, shortbread!!). There's a couple of possible reasons:
1. TOM arrived this morning... I usually feel hungrier for a few days before
2. I am sabotaging ahead of my planned whole 30 in September...
Having thought about it, I think the whole 30 may be a bit drastic for me! I have been doing well on primal except for eating a bit too much dairy... I am going to take it one week at a time so the first week, I will do strict Paleo (no dairy and no wine!) and see how I get on before deciding on the next week. I want September to be a good one so I am not copping out but I don't want to feel deprived and it all go out the window either!!

Jane, Whole30 is tough. And if I'm honest I find it a bit "faddy" and I don't like faddy diets.
I can see the poit of paleo and primal but not whole 30.
I'd just stick with primal and maybe cut down on the dairy.
If you actually think about it, cavemen probably wouldn't have had cow's milk, but I bet they had milk from goats - or even buffalo!

Thanks Bev and Mary
The main problem with me is this 'all or nothing' attitude.. This is why I've been dieting for so many years - I have been either on or completely off the diet wagon!!
I have found primal really suits me. I have broken my scale addiction (I still haven't weighed at all!!!). I don't want to rock the boat and put myself off so will take both your advice and stick to primal but cut down on dairy.
Incidentally, I can buy raw milk and cheese here from the local farm. I haven't had any milk since going primal so haven't bothered buying it. Apparently it's delicious!

Morning!
So this is my week of watching the dairy! My plan is to go dairy free just for six days as I've been relying on it too much. We have friends coming over on Sunday so I will probably have some then (and some prosecco!) but Monday-Saturday I am taking a cheese and wine holiday!
I have a Paleo food delivery coming later which will cover three meals and am just finishing off my food plan which I will post later.

Well done you on no dairy - I hardly eat any dairy products at all now - apart from milk in my tea.
And I deffo could not survive without my tea every morning. :8855:
Having said I hardly eat dairy, I had cheese & onion toastie last night and it was delish!
You're making me want that now! Not done Huevos a la Flamenca for ages.
May have one day this week for supper! Just need to get some chorizo from somewhere, as that's the only thing I haven't got in!

Had a really bad day Foodwise yesterday....
I had soup with bread for lunch and then a sandwich for dinner
typical self sabotage behaviour as I cut out dairy and wasn't enjoying it......
I'm just going to return back to Primal and just been mindful of the dairy... If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Ab-so-blumin-lutely. It was working, and you were losing weight, so just stick with it.Had a really bad day Foodwise yesterday....

The weekend was more 20:80 than 80:20 Primal!
Anyway, this is another week. I had another Paleo delivery last night.
Dinner last night was stuffed pepper with sprinkling of cheddar and avocado served with salad.
I have half a pepper left for lunch which I will have with a sweet potato and salad.
Food plan for the week:
Hubby and I are having a booze holiday so that will probably help with the weight loss. I still haven't weighed myself but will measure again in a few weeks. My clothes are definitely looser.
I need to go and check out the gym in town as can upgrade my existing membership (which I haven't used for ten months) and use that one too. There are many more classes there and a pool. I am thinking of starting with aquafit classes and then will book a session to learn how to use the circuit equipment which takes 17 minutes to complete. I know as soon as I can push myself to go there, I will get back in the groove. I can also still use my existing gym so can meet my friends that are members there.
I also plan to keep walking as I like the fresh air and company (I will probably be going to the gym on my own).
