How are you all feeling? I’m on a bit of a roller coaster at the moment. I’m mostly fine, this situation in Melbourne sucks, but my personal situation is pretty great so I’m very aware of how lucky I am. That said the internet is a scary place at the moment and I’m finding the anger and division particularly draining. So I’ve spent most of today away from it and that’s so helpful.
This week has been interesting. I’ve had days where I just… couldn’t. Didn’t feel like being productive or achieving anything. And that’s fine because other days are great! I feel it’s so important to give myself time and space to feel what I’m feeling in this ongoing lockdown. And today I feel like sharing a meal plan with you!
The weather is warming up and it’s totally helping my mood. It’s also Father’s Day today and 3 beautiful friends have had birthdays this week. Not seeing them sucks but finding things to send them that will make their day in lockdown a little brighter is cool in its own way.
I’ve been working on site for so much of this week I haven’t had a lot of time in the kitchen… looking forward to spending more time in there this week! Cooking these delicious things…
It’s been a weekend of delicious food and binge watching Grey’s anatomy, thanks to the near constant rain! Looking forward to making the following things next week…
The gut makeover is done! And I’m so ready to start reintroducing some foods. So ready I’ll be starting tonight with some freshly baked sourdough to have with a vegetable laden soup. Read below for this week’s meal plans and my thoughts on my gut makeover experience.
It’s my last week of the Gut Makeover and I’m not going to lie, it hasn’t been the easiest thing to stick with in stage 4 lockdown. But I do feel good and no more tummy issues so that’s good right?
I have a super exciting announcement to make today along with this week’s meal plans. I’ve been looking into making a slight change with how I run things in this little corner of the internet and I’ve finally launched something new for you…
I’m a week into my gut makeover and I’m starting to feel really good. I was worried doing it during lockdown would be depressing but it’s actually helpful. I have something to focus on and there’s no social events for me to miss out on things at. This week’s meal plans will reflect how I’ve been eating so you can see what it’s all about! These recipes would suit anyone on a gluten/ grain/dairy/sugar free diet:) Or anyone trying to curb that pasta addiction.
We’re settling into the latest changes here in Melbourne, and doing our best to look out for another through small changes in our own behaviour. I’ve finally got a working oven so lockdown is looking a whole lot more positive in my house.
It’s the start of a new lockdown in Melbourne and I feel pretty surrounded by uncertainty. But we’ve done it before and can do it again. I’m trying my best to adjust to times like this being part of the future, as focusing on the hope that things will magically return to ‘normal’ seems unhelpful (for me personally).
