Day 19: I've Lost Count!!!

I am in such a routine and feeling well nourished it feels as though I have lost count for when the 30day challenge is up! There are so many recipes, research articles, daily tips and much more out there that support the Paleo Lifestyle, I feel like I could adopt it for well...life!!! I am absolutely loving the way it makes me feel training wise, I am sleeping better and I feel generally happier. I am a true advocate for anyone who would love to give it a try. Just like anything in life it takes practice, perseverance and time! Don't be scared give it a go if you haven't already!

The best part about the challenge is the positive feedback and support I have had regarding this blog. Daily I have people saying to me, 'try this recipe and put it on your blog' or 'thanks so much for doing your blog it has given me great tips' etc. The people around you are your best resource at times, it's just a matter of surrounding yourself with the ones who will encourage rather than discourage.

I want to thank all my great friends who have been supportive and encouraging and a MASSIVE special thanks to Lauren and the Nelson CrossFit crew for all their tips, recipe ideas and positive feedback. It all goes a long way!

The best recipe I heard today was from Jillian (thanks Jilly)

1/2 cup of chia seeds
1 cup of coconut milk
2 Tablespoons of Whey protein

Place chia seeds in a bowl
Mix Protein and Coconut milk in a shaker or blender
Add coconut mix to chia seeds
Leave to soak for up to 3 hours in the fridge.

This would make for a great pudding or breakfast as you get the goodness of the chia seeds with a beautiful taste.

Here is a link to an article outlining the benefits of Chia Seeds
