I have organised for the kids to be looked after for the first week while I do Intro. So, the first two days, my hubby is taking RDO's and staying home to look after them, then he's taking them to my mum's house to sleep for 2 nights, and they'll be home again on Friday. I'm hoping I'll be better by then, if not, I'll organise for someone down here to have them for me during the day.
I'm making another batch of chicken broth in the slow cooker tonight, I needed the slow cooker today to do the corned silverside I got from Boy on the Hill, OH MY GOODNESS!!!! The absolute most tender and beautiful corned silverside I've EVER tasted!!!! No joke!! I'm sad there was only one in there, but it was a huge one so I've got some to freeze for GAPS too. I'm allowed to have boiled meat on Intro - WOOP!
And tomorrow, once the chicken broth is done, I'll do another lot of stew, so I think I should have enough stores by then to happily start on Monday! I'm so excited!
I am going to do before photos and measurements and a list of all my issues and we'll see how we do.

Intro Take Two - *Preparation*
I made a decision a couple of weeks ago.
I want a baby.
I want a baby but I want to be healthy enough to carry said baby, without all this weight, and without all the health problems and food intolerances that I have now. This will, in my thoroughly researched opinion, all be resolved if I go on the GAPS diet.
So.. I am starting GAPS this coming Monday. I've been preparing all this week, I went to my mum's house Monday and Tuesday and cooked stew (she has a big kitchen so easier to prepare at her house than in my tiny kitchen!), so now I have 17 single serve beef stews in my freezer! (which tastes delicious btw!)
On Monday, I put on a pot of beef bones to slow cook back home, and this morning I did a pot of chicken bones to slow cook. Tonight, I made soup with them, and they also taste quite good, I'm getting good at them I must say. I'll figure out how to post recipes next and tell you how I did them.
So, I'll have a good lot of soup and stew to start with, I need to make sure I have the rest of stuff to go with for at least the first three stages. I'm serious and prepared this time and that's what I wasn't last time.
I also got a big lot of organic, grassfed beef today from boyonthehill.com.au. They have a farm in Donneybrook, and they are 50% Waygu. So very nice. I'm very happy with them, It was just under 16kgs and was $292, so just over $10 a meal. 26 meals in all. Awesome!
So, the plan is this:
* 2 months on intro (hopefully)
* 4 months preconception care following the full GAPS menu
* try for a baby.
Ok, off to bed now,
night!
