Day Thirteen

Little sneak peek on the scales this morning - down to 65.95kg! Just under a kilo to my first goal!

Breakfast: Grain free granola with almond milk and slices of banana on top.

Morning tea: Two choc orange balls and a small apple.

Lunch: Two wraps with ham, lettuce, tomato and cucumber. They're so light, I needed two to fill me up! I also had a small piece of fudge.

Afternoon tea: I have been eyeing off lots of recipes recently, so this afternoon I decided to try some paleo cookies with cacao nibs, macadamia nuts and coconut. I love choc chip cookies, and this looked like it might be a nice, healthy alternative. I made them up (the recipe made 12), and they actually looked and smelt just like cookies! At first taste they're nice, but I need to try one when it's cool to decide properly. They're also very filling I discovered. I had one, and that was definitely enough... until an hour or so later, then I tried another. Oh, and a date that the little miss didn't eat.

Tea: Sausages and coleslaw. Okay, the coleslaw is not really keeping within 'clean eating/no refined sugar'. The mayonnaise I used is probably one of the better ones, but it still has corn syrup which is essentially sugar as far as I understand it (used lots in the states I believe in their confectionary, etc). But, no nasty preservatives or flavours or colours, so that's something. The coleslaw is the thermomix recipe (cabbage, carrot, onion, apple and mayonnaise/coleslaw dressing).
So, I guess I've technically broken the no refined sugars thing... technically. But I'm not going to get caught up on such a small technicality. I could have made my own mayonnaise, but I can never seem to get it right and it always ends up tasting funky, so I didn't bother.

Dessert/Late night snack: A couple of my paleo cookies and a piece of fudge.

No exercise today, but am going in my local parkrun tomorrow morning, so that will be a nice 5km run.
