Into Day Two

Wow, what can I say? I can now see why KSFL gets the results it does. Those workouts really do work you out! My first session last night was great. I already knew Rachel would do a great job of informing us all and motivating us to get to it and stick to it. And then to blast it in the work out! It was a lot of fun, and used a lot of puff, and I can feel it today. Good stuff!

I've begun to get more into the diet too. Today has been a lot easier than yesterday. Already my headache is gone (I had been reducing caffeine in preparation so that impact was less than it could have been) and I'm feeling a bit more as though I know what I'm doing. I also went shopping today to a farm shop nearby that specialises in meat, mostly locally sourced and all top quality stuff. I also visited another local farm shop that do great veg at very reasonable prices so our fridge is now groaning under the weight of KSFL-friendly ingredients and I'm going to enjoy cooking up a storm with it all. In fact, I already have been!

Breakfast was a definite hit. Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon accompanied by stir fried veggies and tomatoes. Again, the peppers in the stir fry ar emixed because we've got them in the fridge and even if we're not supposed to eat any other than green ones on the detox I'm guessing it's a small sin in the greater scheme of things and I'll stick to green once we've used them up. Doesn't it all look pretty on the plate?

Dinner last night was this rather lovely pork stir-fry and it was packed full of flavour. Interested? Well here's a recipe:

KSFL Pork Stir Fry Recipe

Serves 2

3 tablespoons olive or coconut oil
3 pork steaks, cut into pieces
2 cloves garlic, crushed or finely chopped
6 spring onions, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
8-10 mushrooms, chopped
2 tomatoes, sliced
8 savoy cabbage leaves, stem removed and chopped
A big handful of green beans
Half a head of brocolli, sliced
2cm root ginger, skin removed and finely chopped
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
Water (if needed)

You also need a big frying pan or a wok for this one.

Pop one tablespoon of oil, the pork and the garlic in the pan or wok and stir fry over a high heat until the pork is cooked through and beginning to brown slightly, then remove it from the pan and set aside.

Toss the remaining oil, all the veg plus the ginger and soy sauce into the pan/wok and stir fry until cooked. You may need to add the odd splash of water to keep it from drying out and sticking too much, just keep an eye. Once it's cooked, add the pork and give a good stir for a minute or two to combine and reheat the pork.

Then serve it up! Yum!
