In 3 weeks I......

Okay its been almost 3 weeks since I started on my "clean" eating. And I wanted to share with you how I am feeling, and what I've been doing to keep on track. Now I want you to know I have always considered that I eat pretty healthy, but realized I was falling off and not watching portion control and eating too much of the sweet stuff. Read below to find out what YOU should do!

This is going to be simple-well ...kind of you have to break the habit- trust me if I can, you can: 

- NO SUGARS- and NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP....With the exception of course for fruit being my sugar snacks. 

- NO PROCESSED FOODS

- NO DIET COKE- But I have to be honest here- I might have one every 3 days IF THAT. I haven't yet totally depleted it YET. 

- LOTS OF H20- To lift the habit of drinking diet coke and the habit of no sugars.

-PORTION CONTROL- really watching the portions that I am eating. 

- MORE FRUIT

-MORE VEGGIES

-EATING 6 SMALL MEALS a day.

-LESS CARBS-NO NOT CARB-LESS, that would be insane for as much as I teach. 

-WATCHING SALT INTAKE

-READING food labels- This is a big help especially if I don't want to eat something that has high fructose corn syrup or sugar in it. I try to stick with ingredients that I can read.

In these three weeks I have notice an increase in energy without the support of ANY vitamins.  I have definitely notice a change in my skin with the increase of H20 and the decrease of Diet Coke. I am in a fantastic happier mood 100%  of the time instead of 50% of the time- bad foods can make you depressed and left feeling really bloated and blah.  I have already lost 2 inches around my waist. And I don't have a scale but can probably say I have lost at least anywhere from 6-8lbs already. 

But most of all I feel great. Knowing that I can make the right choices and feel good for a lot longer then if I made a wrong choice (like eating bad) and feeling good for only about 2 minutes. It's the truth...Don't deny yourself the healthier way... Eat healthy and stay active and most of all SWEAT! 

Hugz to all!
