Clean eating challenge -week 2

This week went pretty well. I've got breakfast, lunches and snacks down but dinners are tough. I've been eating a lot of salmon, but it would be nice to find some recipes that the whole family will eat. Something to work on I guess! 

This week I lost 1.8 pounds, bringing my weight loss total so far to 4.8 pounds. I also lost an additional 4.5 inches, bringing my total to 9.5 inches lost so far. At this rate I will be in the 130's (but barely haha) by the end of the challenge, which was my goal! 

My goal for this week is to work out more, last week I kind of slacked. 

Clean eating challenge -week 1

Week 1 is done! I only had a couple of slip ups, and they weren't too bad. My husband made guacamole, and I had a hard time controlling myself! 

So the results for week 1 were- 3 pounds and 5 inches lost! I'm very happy with that. 

The hard part is trying to figure out dinners. I'm eating a lot of steamed veggies and salmon but I need to figure out a few more recipes, especially ones the kids might eat! 

Hopefully week 2 is a success too! 

Day 2

Day 2 down! I didn't have any protein shakes yesterday but I did good food wise. I made a crock pot chicken tacos that was delicious! And I put it on one serving of tortilla chips so it was healthy and low calorie! I'm really trying hard to think of food as fuel for my body, rather than only eating what's cheesy and greasy. Healthy food does taste good, it's just hard to control portions. But I'm trying. 

Day One

One day down, 29 to go! The first day wasn't too bad. Granted I didn't get to go to the grocery store until lunch time so I had a protein shake for breakfast and lunch, but I don't plan on having a shake more than once a day from now on. Snacks included slices of deli ham, string cheese, an apple. Dinner was salmon cakes and steamed broccoli. So I'm not starving by any means, but I'm not stuffing myself full of McDonald's every meal either. So far I feel good eating lots of fruit and veggies and meats. It's been tough though because there are lots of cookies and cake leftover from Lucas's birthday party.  I'm being good though! I think for me, for these 30 days I need to go cold turkey on pop, sugar, junk food as once I start I can't stop. When the 30 days is up I might allow myself a treat occasionally but we'll see! 

And one more thing, I am only going to weigh myself once a week, on Sundays! I weighed 149 on Sunday so I'm anxious to see what this coming Sunday brings. I also took measurements so that will be fun to see changes there!

Clean eating challenge

I signed up to participate in a clean eating challenge. My weight is hovering around 147 now, and I am sick of eating junk food all the time. I feel so gross and flabby. I've got my first two days menu all planned out, and McDonald's is not on it! I've gotten really bad with my eating habits so this challenge is the perfect thing to get me started on really clean eating, and the trainer will hold me accountable! I'll try and update here several times a week with maybe some recipes, and what kind of foods I've been eating. Wish me luck!
