Week 10 update

Well after a small blip with a 0.5Kg (1.1 lbs) gain last week for no apparent reason I'm back to good gain loss this week with 1.81Kg (4 lbs), again for no apparent reason.  Didn't eat any differently and exercised about the same so I am a bit puzzled.


I'm going to post a graphic every 5 weeks showing my weight loss as a kind of incentive to myself to keep things going. This Primal lifestyle certainly seems to be agreeing with me, well my feet still complain from time to time - but I've always had problems with them. I think the health of my feet has improved, throwing away shoes that were constraining my feet in any way certainly helped and my new work shoes almost feel like I don't have them on.

10.43Kg (23 lbs) total loss

Just back from shopping and a walk down to the Titan crane and back afterwards and found another supply of brambles (blackberries) ready to be picked, so tomorrow morning looks like a foraging morning (unless the weather is particularly bad).

Foraging

Today we went foraging for brambles (blackberries). The banks of the Union Canal at Ratho have some brambles, mostly just out of reach, so only collected enough for a dessert. Just had an apple and bramble "crumble" the other day so these are being frozen for use later in the week as a treat. I say "crumble" because it was made without any wheat products, ground almonds, dried fruit and coconut oil taking the place of all the bad ingredients (that's bad by Primal Blueprint standards).


Probably venture out again on Saturday as the weather looks like it's going to be good over the weekend although thinking of heading somewhere else for our fruit supplies. Where have all the brambles gone? I remember there being tons of them when I was a kid but they seem to be thin on the ground these days.


Also had a wee walk around part of the Almondell and Calderwood Country Park in the vain hope that there would be some brambles there too. Good views but no fruit.
