Wrapping up Week One, Cooler One

Well, I am just one day away from the completion of Week One, Cooler one of the Eat Clean Diet.
I have done well. No binges unless you count the splurge meal last night.

Wow...I so totally ate terribly last night. I will NEVER do that again.

I made it to the gym most days and that is an accomplishment too. Still dont like 4 am but it is what it is.

Looking forward to moving on to Cooler Two on Monday. I am going to keep my startchy complex carbs low but there will be variety and dairy. :-)

Eating Clean Day Two

Well, today is day two of eating clean. This means I am following the principals of eating and exercising of Tosca Reno, the author of the Eat Clean Diet.

I have food issues. Serious food issues that go all the way back to being put on Weight Watchers in the first grade. One of my most hurtful and prevalent memories is my dad telling me on my 11th birthday that I should not have any cake. My mom made me a chocolate layer cake with sticky white frosting and my dad didn't want me to have any...I have never forgotten this.

So...I have issues. I sneak food. I plan binges. I eat when I'm not hungry and will even eat things I don't like because they're there. This I plan to stop. I want to be healthy and vibrant, of healthy weight, strong and full of energy. I want to run. I don't want to be fat, ugly, tired, or in pain all the time.

I will make these changes.

Yesterday went well. Followed plan very well. Had a lovely walk in the Bosque with the family...ok, just Cheyenne really as Michael ran and we walked but it was gorgeous nonetheless.

Ok...gotta get some house cleaning done.
