yet another Day ONE :) and Loving the SSPEA:)

-

Ok.. so today is Day one of my eating clean :)

I have done good so far. :) trying new things

so far here are my eats:
breakfast: oatmeal with protein powder, 4 peach slices, and 8 almonds :) made with milk and water mixed (i had never really like the powder in my oatmeal. tried it only once before... but this morning it was good)
snack: Ezekial Bread (2 slices) water and tea
Noon time run (2 miles with the older track kids)
Lunch: 1 tortillia with fat free beans and half a slice of american cheese, a serving of sugar snap peas with taco seasoning sprinkled on them:) (sooooo yummy!)

I am sooo happy... I really think I have found my substitute for chips! I try not to eat lots of chips but I know that the ones I do I probably over eat them cause they are sooo salty and good :)

Sugar Snap Peas are my new favorite food :) Now if I can just find them on MY SIDE OF TOWN! ..I also wish I could find them in bulk instead of this small package (ready to eat) that is small and 4 bucks!


I was thrilled with how I felt running the 2 miles today... First time since the 26.2 that I have run that far without walking a LOT.. I also did a bit of speeding as I was with the track kids and would alternate between running at the back of the pack and the middle of the pack :) I had great energy and felt like I could keep going! Its nice to feel that way again!

ok.. all for now... I must go and get science and history done with the kids as soon as they are done with lunch so we can head over the the library :)

WATCH OUT WEDDING DRESS! HERE I COME! (ha)

Sugar snap peas are yummy! Good luck on the clean eating. My experience is that I really feel a lot better when I am eating clean.

18 years of Choosing to Start Over

-
Welcome to were it all started, this space I created in January of 2006 to help me navigate my journey to personal health and fitness. I have come a LONG way from that first post 18 years ago and I am so grateful for all I have learned along the way. I will be coming here a lot more often over the next weeks, months and years as I have decided to begin writing, journaling and sharing here again. I hope and pray you might find inspiration here to help you along your own path to health and fitness. Please note that this 18 year journey consisted of several things I learned that did not work for me, others programs, supplements and others ideas of nutrition, health and fitness. I am leaving all these as is, so you can see my journey. I will be talking more about the different things I tried thru the years and what I learned about myself and what works for me along the way. If anything this blog chronicles my story of starting over and making hard choices to be who I someday dreamed of ...

The Experiement

Ok... so like I have said I have been about 90% raw for the past 3.5 weeks. So what was the Experiement you ask?  To eat "regular" meals for 24 hours and see how I felt. I ate "normal" foods like taco stew, corn bread, eggs, a few cookies (yes, cookies!). This morning I woke up and decided to have some hot decaf tea, eggs, and while my breakfast tasted yummy.. it was no where near as tasty to me as my all fruit breakfasts I have been having. About an hour later I was CRAVING fruit! I also had a slight headache. :( So I grabbed an orange. Later for lunch I had left over taco stew, come corn chips.... and again, while it tasted ok.. was nice and warm .. it left me wanting... CRAVING..  fruit. I also had.. you guessed it... a headache. Also.. last night... I woke up HUNGRY! I havent woken up hungry since giving 801010 a try. Going into this process I didnt think I would last 2 days. After making it over 3 weeks and having amazing results I have just been so shock...
