Day 28.....Weighing in!

I started this clean eating journey 28 days ago! For the most part I gave up sugar, white flour, artificail sweetners and diet soda! I can't say it has been perfect, but over all I have had more days on target with eating clean, although not eating the 6 meals a day...I have had days where I have enjoyed a slice of pizza, or had a soda. At first I beat myself up over it, now I just let it go...it was one meal...it doesn't undo all I am doing...just focus and get back on track...this is a journey and it will never be perfect, but through the choices I make I learn just what my body does in response...like I know I will feel bloated in the morning from that pizza tonight, so I am planning to down a little more water and eat some asparagus tomorrow...it is okay and yes the slice of pizza was worth it!

I am wrapping up this 28 day challenge and beginning the countdown to my half marathon...13 more days. I will continue with my clean eating lifestyle...that is my choice.. I love how I feel and the changes I am seeing in my body...I will be sharing more in the next couple of weeks about the summer challenge I am planning for myself and until then I will continue to update you on my training and meals as I prepare for this Race in Memory of my Mom!

So today....Workout...Cycling....10n miles...a new twist in my workout, but to hot to run this afternoon and no time this morning or tonight when it was cooler...planning the long run for tomorrow morning.

Nutrition....

Breakfast: oatmeal with blueberries and flaxseed, frittata left over from yesterday..

Snack...strawberries and cashews...(Enjoyed these during church!)

Lunch: Chicken veggie bowl ( squash, zuchinni, mushrooms and tomatoes)

Dinner: Tuna on all natural wheat berry bread and raw squash.

Snack....unexpected pizza at church with youth tonight...I had one slice and a diet coke....that was my choice...now back to my plan.

1+ gallon of water with lemon today.

Oh and for the weigh in....drum roll.....I lost 5 pound in this 28 day challenge and that really wasn't even why I decided to so this! I had pretty much accepted that my body was at a set point as I usually hover around my weight regardless of what I eat as long as I run...it was a benifit and I am curious to see what my body will do as I continue this journey!
