Week 4

Week 1 I lost 3.9 pounds. Week 2, I lost 2.6 pounds. Week 3 I lost 1.7 pounds I'm doing great. I'm eating oats with flax seed, raw sliced almonds, and sunflower seeds with raisins or cranberries for breakfast. I need some protein with that. This morning, I had an egg white omelet with onions, red and green bell pepper and low fat cheese. It was good. I'm on vacation now, so it's hard, but my sister is here with me and doing great, too.

Clean eating has changed my life already. I fee sooooooo good and have so much more energy now. I feel like Ayla in Clan of the Cave Bear!

Clean Eating Week 3

I'm entering the third week of clean eating. I didn't go head first into it, but I'm doing pretty well. So far, I lost three lbs the second week (didn't monitor it the first week). I weigh again tomorrow, so I'll update then.

I feel so much better than I had when I was eating junk all the time. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a real junk food junkie, but I love fast food, burgers, fries, and . . . well, you get the idea. I don't eat a lot of sweets, though, and I never really understood the dieting. I knew that if I starved myself, my metabolism would slow down, but with clean eating, I eat all the time.

I've been a bit stunned at the grocery bill, but today, when I checked my checking account balance to see how I was doing for the month, I was surprised to see as much money as I had. I think that not eating out has made a difference. Sure, I 'm spending more at the grocery store, but I'm not spending much going out to eat. Of course I promptly bought the kids a few toys, me some gardening gloves and rain boots, and a few books, so the extra money went away a little . . . oh well. only three weeks left in the month anyway, and my fridge is full . . .
