Clean Eating Update

So it has been like 2.5 months since I first started to try to eat clean and I've written a previous post about it and this is the second installment. I have to admit that I haven't been eating as clean as I'd like lately. Not sure why. Maybe because I am nervous about the OC or my will-power is wavering. I am still trying to stick to my goals. At first I was bummed that I was eating so much crap but slowly I am getting over that and just continuing on. I've come to realize that it is next to impossible to eat clean all the time and that I should make a conscious effort when I can and enjoy the things I love when they are there. Overall, I really like eating clean and feel so much healthier when I do and for that I will continue on and get pass this current speed bump.

I am mostly good about doing this but sometimes I let myself get tired and blow off the before bed brushing. So from 4/28 to 5/28, I will see how well I can stick to my clean teeth regiment.

For sure, I will be having a lowfat blueberry muffin from Starbucks because the last time I ate that, I ran great on my 20 miler. I am superstitious about that now! hahaha.

Note 2: I had a major craving for a cookie or something baked and sweet but it wasn't meant to be. Mainly because there was none around me and I was too lazy to go out and get some. I guess it is good that delicious baked goods is not near me, else I would have had some! I am craving dates and figs for some reason.

Sprinkles!

Sprinkles cupcakes is one of Sister K's must try foods. I've had it twice and yes it is good but there is so much frosting and it is so sweet that after you eat it you might get a cavity...maybe! Hope I am there when Sister K has it for the first time. It is best eaten fresh from the store!

Things that I currently do that are green include:
- Having seperate containers in my place for recyclable material.
- I recycle all bottled water that I drink and use a refillable water bottle at work
- I try to use the stairs instead of the elevator if I am able (i.e. not carrying a bunch of stuff)
- I try to run or ride my bike outside when possible so I don't have to waste energy by using the treadmill or indoor bike. The spin bike I use inside is not powered by electricity.
- I try to remember to bring my shopping bag with me when I shop but lots of times I forget so sometimes I will just bunch everything together and carry it out to my car hap-hazardously. :s

Noticed that the extra cardio is what causes the major changes in body fat so I must be better with it. Been doing more cross training since it is taper time.

Note: So the reason you haven't seen alot of variety in photos lately is because I've been eating the same boring thing day in and day out. I cooked a large pot of brown rice earlier in the week and have been eating that with some veggies and beans and lean protein of the day for most meals. Looks pretty uninteresting. I tried to include some photos but after a while it was just the same food in different combinations. Anyways, I will probably cook something new next week. I've been wanting to experiment with cooking Indian style food with the beans. Let's see how busy I am.

Also, I've been trying not to eat so much PB again. It's weird but I can tell immediate within a few days if I've been over doing it with the PB. I wish I didn't love it so. I am now eating it just twice a day, with my oatmeal in the morning and my cracker at night. I should not eat it at night but sometimes I just cannot help myself. Having a really hard time finding good protein snack foods since I cannot eat dairy or soy. Maybe more beans? :s

Sister S was very photogenic in all her photo...hate her! A good batch of photos were selected, they were all great and I am excited to see how the photog will arrange them into the book. I think people will love the ones we selected to be the giant ones. Yeah, I was very butt-in-ski at the photo selecting process. Went to pickup Sister K at the train station and went to have ramen. Bet Sister K didn't expect a crew to pick her up. She got a cream puff from Beard Papa and it smelled so good. I wanted one bad. I got a small bit of "outside" but I really wanted to eat the inside. :(

Note: After my last long run is over, I am going to decrease the carbs once again and not eat it during the evening hours. Also, I think I was eating too much PB again so I will need to watch that. I was making good progress on the fat loss until I starting carbing up for my long runs and also eating too too much in Vegas. I really need to tighten the dieting once again to see results. Just eat lean meats, beans, whole grains, veggies and lots of water. Less than 2 months to go to get down to 100 lbs..or at least to 104 or 105 of muscle over fat.

Note 2: So my last long run has come and gone. My legs feels like they want to fall off. It was pretty awful out there today but I ran/walked the whole 24. Taper time. I can't wait for the big day.

Clean eating and fish

So during these past couple of months of me trying to eat cleaner, I've learned alot about cooking and seasoning and discovered that seasoning IS the spice of life..haha. Well, when you can't use bread crumbs or oil or heavy sauces; seasoning and lemon juice are your new best friends. During this time, I was also trying to eat more lean protein source and I don't like chicken much so I was trying to eat more fish but I don't really like fish either. That is until one day I purchased a large package of cod filet from Costco and a jar of seafood seasoning from Trader Joe's. All I did was cut up the cod into small squares, topped it with this seasoning and some lemon juice and baked it. It turned out really good and I eat it all the time now. I wanted to find a picture or ingredient lists of what is in that seasoning but I could not. Maybe I will go home tonight and take a photo and list the ingredients later on. It is mainly dried herbs but it makes the cod taste so good. I haven't tried it with other fish but I am pretty sure it would taste just as good. Trader Joe's is like one of those places that I think is healthy but I find alot of stuff there that are not so good for you or stuff I can not eat. I recently discovered that my beloved creamy tomato soup had dairy in it. I really should read labels more carefully. Things I love about Trader Joe's: nuts, buffalo burger and ground chicken patties, olive oil and seasonings, inexpensive fresh basil and their mixed grain rice (this stuff is comparable to wheatberries in your oatmeal folks).
