Quick Clean Food Update

Just a quick update before I nap before work.  It's been a week since I started the clean eating and it's had its ups and downs.  I would have to say that I definitely adhered to the 80/20 rule that Jillian Michaels preaches.  

I ate all whole foods, no refined sugars or "white" foods (pasta, rice, sugar, etc) with the exception of my coffee mate creamer that I am NOT giving up.

I had one dinner where I ate a hotdog (no bun), tater tots, and a serving of mac and cheese.  I had one dessert of chocolate cake with light peanut butter icing.

The rest of the week I ate eggs, cheese, 4% cottage cheese, fruit, veggies, chicken, brown rice, steak, hamburgers (no bun), and protein shakes with 2% milk as meal replacement.  I had grits and butter on the days I worked before sleep. That's pretty much it.  I made my own Bistro boxes with added veggies and no scone.  I ate whole grain bread twice.

I'm actually pretty proud of myself.  I didn't see any change but would there really be any change after only a week?  I'm going to continue with the clean food and this week I'm adding in more work out consistency.

Today:  2.75 mile run (hill)
Saturday:  rest day (walk the dog for active rest)
Sunday:  7 mile long run
Monday:  Hike (cross training)
Tuesday:  3 mile run  (working)
Wednesday:  rest day (working)
Thursday:  Jillian DVD
Friday:  5 mile run

I leave for vacation in 10 days so I just want to stay consistent until then.  Traveling will wreak havok on my I'm sure.

That's it for now.  I know this one is boring but you gotta take the good with the bad haha.

Have a great Friday!
