I really miss that nowadays, but still try to eat as healthy and season-related as possible! I always notice the change in energy that goes together with the change of what I eat.

That's what I need to get through a nightmare marriage, divorce, single parenting for more than 6 years and also mainly because I just love chocolate. I did the 21 day elimination diet and found it easier than I thought and given I couldn't even think of giving up one slice of bread today I have no idea how I got through it. After the 21 days I did not continue on re-introducing the foods as I think it was school holidays and it was just too hard and I hit the ground running with bread, chocolate and what ever I could get my hands on. It's funny how you can go from nothing extra and cope to tear your hair out you gotta have it. I know I could be doing more with my kids foods (today I have made some home made yoghurt that they love) but on the other hand we will have a sausage roll after football because we have run out of time to get a roll and ham and go home and eat it. As long as we are trying I think and doing the best we can on the day that's all you can ask. Some days will be better than others but my kids both know how much better home made stuff tastes and my cooking too. Keep us posted on your quest.

I feel much better when I'm eating lots of protein and vegetables, along with things like nuts and olives. I'm glad you're feeling better.Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253042092936498909.post-59995758387844687872014-07-15T13:27:56.078+10:002014-07-15T13:27:56.078+10:00I forgot to say that this is fairly healthy.

Steps have been almost impossible without a rail to hold. Sitting has been fine so that's what I have been doing. Add in recent cold weather and I feel like a slug. I usually cook but have chickened out as son who lives with me has been away, so why make the effort.<br /><br />Carbs are so easy, even if there is good food in pantry. I have pulled myself together. Breakfast is usually healthy, not so much other meals by myself. Lunch today was a start. One piece of sourdough bread with fresh tomato and a free range, organic egg. A small apple, a couple of mandarine sand a glass of water. The bread comes in my Box Freshdelivery of fruit and veg and is from Bourke st bakery Bread and Butter project. They teach refugees to become bakers so it's a feel good project as well as really great bread. Coeliac granddaughter eats it with no problem. Loads of variety too<br /><br />Your chicken sounds wonderful. I buy organic and free range wherever possible including milk. Apart from any other benefits, I think it all just tastes better.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04324917828815299886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253042092936498909.post-40213535849918885622014-07-15T10:20:40.724+10:002014-07-15T10:20:40.724+10:00I totally get this!

I too feel the same and was embarking on changing our whole way of eating at the start of the year, then February came around and we found out that I was pregnant with our much longed for 4th child and the start of 4 and a half months of morning sickness was upon me. Needless to say convience foods became the kids and hubbies diet as I just couldn't stomach being in the kitchen. I lived on rice paper rolls with chicken and salad for that time though, so my diet wasn't that bad, they just refused to eat the rice paper rolls all the time...<br /><br />Since morning sickness has subsided I have brought back the small changes I made in the past and look forward to adding more as the year goes on. <br /><br />I look forward to following you on this journeyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08185293632790414317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253042092936498909.post-44337285000052988562014-07-15T10:20:19.737+10:002014-07-15T10:20:19.737+10:00Isn't it funny how we're quite prepared to...Isn't it funny how we're quite prepared to shovel pre-packaged/prepared goods into our bodies yet make sure our children are getting wholesome foods... Why do we do that? I'm with you on this one. Tired of being tired but I'm also thinking that our kids will learn best by example.

My knitting skills are very basic - cast on, knit, cast off - but it's definitely a goal of mine to learn more advanced techniques (and how to read a pattern).
