Fresher, healthier. I have noticed a lot of differences. I have more energy. I have lost weight (yeah, but not main focus for me). "Regular food" kind of grosses me out now. Gone are my cravings for junk food. <br />
<br />
I cook a lot more. I eat a lot more. I get a lot of comments on my lunches in the staff room. People want to know what I am eating....they think it looks delicious! A lot of people have told me I look really good lately. (No, I am not insulted by this, I am a single parent, work a lot at a school, and usually look tired I am sure).<br />
<br />
A fellow blogger at <a href="http://themuffinmyth.com/">http://themuffinmyth.com/</a> posts recipes that are very helpful. She just posted one for no-sugar banana muffins that are so good...you don't miss the sugar because the chopped dates make them so sweet and moist. <br />
<br />
Tonight I went through my kitchen and threw out the last of the bottled salad dressings and packaged foods that I had saved "just in case" this whole new way of eating didn't work out.<br />
<br />
It's sticking, and I like it:)strawberryBChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15496639236441882168noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-311634918793521595.post-92210110649528263202010-11-07T09:03:00.000-08:002010-11-07T09:23:01.805-08:00In the Beginning...It's official. Today I start my first day of "clean eating". I co-worker turned me onto this, and the more I read about this, the more it made sense to me. I wanted a place to track what I am eating, store recipes, and write about my challenges...so here I am.<br />
<br />
It is shocking when you go to the grocery store and read what is in so-called food. Even a loaf of whole wheat bread that you think is healthy has glucose somewhere in the first 4 ingredients...<br />
<br />
So I sit here with a cup of tea, sprouted grain toast, and natural peanut butter. And I look forward to a new journey:)strawberryBChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15496639236441882168noreply@blogger.com0
