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.

My plan is to focus on cleaning up my diet and running a bit this week as part of a taper plan for the OC. Eating badly is a snowball effect. Once you start, it takes on a life of its own.

Note 2: worked from home again today which is why the food combination and choices are weird and bad. I was almost going to blow my run off again today but decided to do it at the last minute. Glad I went.

Note: I was suppose to run 8 miles this morning but I skipped it as my lower back was still sore. I am feeling alot better today since I had rested. Went to the beach this morning and rode my bike on the boardwalk and then got some lunch there. Walked on the sand and down to the water, dipped my toe in and it was freezing so decided to head home. Nice day to ride bikes there, it was a bit windy but nice.
