Day 4

Man, it takes so long to prepare all your meals for the next day. But this ensures that I eat more healthy stuff. This log is helping me see where I can improve. Good news is I ate all the yummy mommy-made food from this past weekend so I won't feel guilty about eating non-clean food.

Breakfast - 9:30am
1 cup lowfat cottage cheese w/ splash of vanilla soy milk (finishing up the small container I have)
1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries and blackberries)

1/3 banana

1/4 apple

1/2 cup OJ

Note: I am going to stop drinking vanilla soy since I discovered it has lots of sugar in it. I went to TJ's yesterday and purchased some Almond Breeze milk - less sugar in that. I will let you know how it is.

Food(s) I craved today: nothing - as my jeans are starting to fit better again. No, I am craving something salty. :s

Muffins!!

So my apt-mate and I went to Costco tonight and guest what someone decided to buy? A flat of poppyseed muffins. I did a little search online and fell over from all the fat and calories in one muffin! :O Thank goodness I am not having any. It's terrible that they are so close to me but I cannot have any. Also, apt-mate got a hot dog and a slice of pizza. I normally also get a yummy hot dog but did not tonight and also did not eat the pizza crust which I normally do because it is so yummy. I am going to eat a celery stick now...ahahaha!

Week of Eating Clean - Day 1

Sister K and I decided that we were going to eat "clean" this week and see who could eat the cleanest. It's always more fun when it is a competition. ;) I've done this before for 1 month during November 07. It is hard not to eat junk food but you do notice that your clothes fit alot better. It's a trade-off. So today is Day 1 of the 1 week eating clean challenge. This could turn into 2 weeks if things go well and if Sister K sticks to it. With Valentine's Day coming up it could be difficult to avoid sweets and yummy Valentine Day treats. Maybe this will be a good chance to see how well one can withstand the temptations of the holidays.
