Well I guess it took a weekend of rest due to sickness to kick my own rear into gear! I decided to get serious about my nutrition. I know that I don't eat terrible, but I eat out way too much and also have gotten in to the bad habit of eating CHOCOLATE on a daily basis! Winter tends to get to me. I have been in a funk of blah!!! I have decided to try the Clean Eating Diet! It's not really a diet, but it is a way to eat healthy for a lifetime. It's pretty simple! Anything made by man (processed) you stay away from. You eat 5 to 6 times per day. Drink lots of water and exercise daily. I am going to also start doing my cardio in the mornings again.
I started the diet yesterday and it is going great so far. I cooked 1/2 Turkey and 1/2 Lean Beef Burgers on my George Foreman Grill, made a salad with spinach, scallions, broccoli, and carrots, and made a fruit salad with watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes, and strawberries. It was very yummy. This morning I had a small banana and a hand full of Almonds with sea salt. Then for lunch I had baked chicken cut up on a spinach salad (leftover from last night) and used the juice off of the chicken as a dressing. For snack I am having Fruit salad and almonds with a Soy Protein drink. Tonight Lemon Pepper Baked Chicken with brown rice and green beans.
The hardest part for me is getting in my snacks in the morning. I might just have to buy a small cooler to keep food at work. I know I can not do the Clean Eating Diet perfect, but I am incorporating it in every where I can. I can avoid sugar, pastas, processed foods etc. but can't buy organic easily in Kingfisher or eat wheat (due to my Celiac Disease). It doesn't matter, as long as I can do it the majority of the time. I hope that those of you that are reading this will get the Clean Eating Diet book by Tosca Reno. It is very motivating and it all makes sense.
Weight Loss and Health is 80% Nutrition. This is a proven fact and the world should all try it for a month and watch the difference you will see and feel. Life is too short to be in pain, stressed, and unhappy. You are the only person that can make a change in your life. No body can do it for you! You have to be responsible for your life, no excuses that your family won't eat that way or that you can't afford to eat healthy and exercise.
IF YOU WANT SOMETHING BAD ENOUGH, YOU WILL MAKE TIME FOR IT!!!!!!!!!
***My family is not into health and fitness. They will not keep me from it though. If I had waited for them to join in and support me, I would have never lost the weight and would not be where I am today!***
