Freelea you're so full of helpful information I really learn a lot from your posts 

Well yesterday I had a bit of a combo disaster.  I ended up eating some almond and date rolls after I had a banana and I was doubled over in pain for hours. Lesson learnt I’m back to bananas and greens today. I think I’m going to do another week just bananas and greens, it is really helping my digestion. Especially after yesterday, I think my body is loving the easy to digest foods and it didn’t know what to do when I ate the date rolls.

I may not be able to post all of this week as I will be away from Perth and not near the internet but I’ll keep a journal of what I'm eating and post it when I get back

Take Care

Hey lovely girls,
I'm feeling back on top of things. I am gaining an awareness that my digestion is becoming more and more sensitive. It has always been strong and robust and taken a bit of punishment but no longer. I am getting strong messages from my body about what I need to eat and now it seems that I am experiencing pain and discomfort from making poor choices. I must see this as a gift really.
Have been working out really, really hard.
Yesterday:
20 mins elliptical trainer
20 mins running
5 mins rowing
10 mins stairclimb
10 mins heavy weights combo

Today:
20 mins swimming-moderate to hard
20 mins elliptical trainer
20 mins running
10 mins fast walking

Eats: Today, just eating banana, celery,lettuce, berry smoothies -still tender digestion.
Had our going away party last night and I wowed everyone with many litres of banana and strawberry ice cream made in the vitamix. I still have many many frozen bananas in freezers through the neighborhood.

Neet you will be missed... Have a great time luff!

Still going well. I'm feeling really confident about this challenge although i found myself today fantasising about what i am going to eat when i have finished my challenge! What? No way. That's not my goal! This is to get me forward, not an interim thing. Eeeeek.

Woke up this morning craving seaweed so indulged in a lovely salad at lunch time of wakame and kombu with cucumbers and tomatoes. Delish! And olives too. I got some lovely sun dried olives at the nerang markets again on Sunday. Truly, they are so delish that I'm thinking of buying 20 containers of them so that I have loads when the season runs out. Yum! Bill loves them too.

Then later I had a green smoothie of water, lettuce, agave and banana. I don't normally add agave but this is one that the kids were having and so I did.

Brock is doing well with his eating. I made some balls this morning for him and Caitlyn to take to school. He also had an apple and then I made him a chockie shake for lunch with almond milk, banana, cacao and agave. he loves it and it's filling for him at school. He said he didn't get in any trouble today so he must be focusing better in class. His dinner is an apple, an orange and two prunes. Then, after a little break he's going to have some pistachio's from Free's lovely mum. Yum. Lucky Brock.

Tonight's dinner is a raw pizza. I had a couple of cucumbers while I was putting it all together. Yummm!

Hey Beck- wow really are hitting da gym! great work. Try not to stress your body too much while your digestion is compromised and factor in a rest day...our body recovers, heals and grows during our rest days not when we train, training provides the stimulus and we are responsible for providing the best conditions to maximise results i.e rest, best nutrition, hydration etc...
great cross-training girl :-D glad to hear you had the epifany about punishing the body no longer, thats a biggy for sure!

Hey Neetness, I didn't come back and clean...no :-( I ate 3 sticks of celery to slow the sugar down, it worked so well, celery is such a miracle food.  I now know why you used to make such a fuss about it!
Ohyeah Fiji is callin'! We want updates over there ok? No private time allowed, you have your fans to look after...:-D

Jen glad you are doing so well, how long has it been for you now? All raw i mean? Seems like a while now, awesome.  Oh yeh I remember those pistachios...I used to go mad on them! Addictive lil' critta's. I went to Byron on Sunday and checked out the market,you would've loved it.

Hey RNF, great to hear that you are doing really well, how blissful in that joyous feeling???!!!! Oh there is nothing better im sure.  Your post is really positive and uplifting...upping ze incline huh? Awesome skys the limit girlfriend :-)

Had a great day, woke up with sore nipples  (oops am i allowed to say that?)....too late..:-P Im guessing its period time. When i was cooked I never experienced sore nipples so its rather exciting now that I am as its obviously a good thing because i am much healthier ...anyways enough about me nipples!

Have decided if im going to eat peas like I did last night that they have to be fresh that day and preferably picked by me as some were starchy and slowed my digestion noticably.  Although i felt great today, i have standards of feeling amazing everyday and that's what i aim for, these small improvements help me refine a little more.

Just finished a black russian tom, org mandies and baby spinach salad with a sauce of celery,tom and celery....oh my god!! It tasted AMAZING!! i had a taste of the sauce and it was sooo salty that i had to get mum to taste it to confirm the saltiness but she said it wasn't.  At that moment I realised that my tastebuds must be so clean from eating such simple foods & combo's that the celery was bordering on too salty but oh so lush! The salad was an absolute pleasure that i didn't want to end, some photos....
