I’m just ending my fourth week of this. Have I cheated at times? Yes.
Do I still get cravings? Of course.
Do I feel better? Definitely!
Before changing my food habits to a clean eating diet, I’d
get bogged down with the mid-day slump, felt fatigued a big portion of my day,
had difficulty focusing and finding motivation, and would end my day with this
pressure headache where it felt like my head would literally explode.
It’s much easier for me four weeks in to wake up early, even
on the weekends. I am finding the energy
to come home after work and clean house and play with the dogs, whereas before,
the only thing that interested me was my couch. I continue to lose weight and
am getting back into some of my pants that were getting a little too snug. And
I am having so much fun coming up with new recipes, trying new foods, and
reading labels. Yes, I did just say
that, I enjoy reading the food labels! Haha.
So, I bet you are wondering, how often I have cheated? I can tell you. I have gone out to eat about
three times where I attempted to pick the healthiest choice on the menu, (I did
google nutrition facts if they were available), and went to a couple of hockey
games where I did have a beer at each. Oh yes, and the other night, Chik-Fil-A
was calling my name. Did these cheats satisfy my cravings? Yes,
they certainly did. Was I craving more
afterwards? Honestly, I wasn’t. I used
to be able to stuff my face silly with terrible greasy food and a couple hours
later do it again. I think that these
cheats are good, because they help me to curb my cravings without going
overboard.
A month in of living a healthier lifestyle and I do feel
much better about myself. Inside and Out!
