Update! {Day 15 Eating Clean}

                     

So far I've lost a total of 5 lbs.  I really haven't felt better in my life.  I have a ton of energy and I even feel in a better mood.  I did cheat {again} over the weekend.  We had chicken fajitas, I did add a lil salt , and I had 2 margaritas.  I couldn't help it, I can't have Mexican food without a margarita?!? Who does that?? Lol .  I'm really ahoy with everything so far.  By now I'm used to the food and portions.  I feel like this is a lifestyle that I would live beyond the 3 weeks.  In thr future I probably won't be as strict, but I'll keep on the clean eating guidelines.  One a week left to go and I'm feeling pumped.  Just in time for Super Bowl!

I Made it! {Day 5 Eating Clean}

Wahoo!  I've learned a lot these first 5 days.  I should have done more research before starting this journey.  I think after the first 5 days I have a better idea of what I want to eat.  I've made a trip to the grocery store almost everyday.  I'm going to be better at planning this week.  I've been Pinteresting my butt off looking for meal plans and recipes.  Hopefully these next couple weeks will breeze by.  I didn't take many pics today since most of thr food was the norm, but in did make a delish dinner!

Everything I ate today::

Breakfast | protein shake

Snack | 1/2 apple and almonds

Lunch | cilantro lime chicken over greens

Snack | oatmeal 

Dinner |  baked salmon over fried brown rice

 * so tasty I would eat this on the reg*

Day 1 eating clean

Wow, first day has been rough!  We didn't really clean out our fridge and pantry like we planned.  Our weekend accidentally got busy and we forgot about it.  So there is temptation all over.  I can't really be ok with throwing all that food away either.  It's not that we have a ton of processed food,but we do have a lot of snacks.  I'm a snacker!  I didn't realize how much process food and drinks I consumed in a day.  Kind of disgusting! 

Everything I ate today::

Breakfast | 1 hard boiled egg and oatmeal

Snack | 1/2 banana and almonds 

Lunch | hard boiled egg with a salad

Snack | 8 oz protein shake

Dinner | baked tilapia seasoned with pepper, lemon, crushed red pepper, paprika, and topped with green onions.  With a side of green beans and mushrooms 

All in all,  it was a big adjustment.  This is the cleanest I've ever eaten, it's a total 360 from where I was the day before.  I've been on Pinterest all day looking up meal plans and recipes.  Some people are so creative with their plans.  It's very inspiring ! It helps to see all the recipes, I thought that eating clean would be eating boring.  I have been proven wrong! 

On to day 2...
