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 . . .
