Hi Everyone,
The last two days have been busy, so this is a late entry for my food log/no sweets challenge.
Thursday was the 4th of July, and yesterday we celebrated my nephew’s birthday. Today I am excited to really get back on track with some clean eating. This is my Thursday and Friday food log.
I am starting to get a lot of comments that I eat like a normal person. 🙂 I am definitely a normal person. I enjoy fruits, and vegetables, but I also don’t believe in cutting out necessary nutrients or food groups. I am active and athletic and I need to fuel my body. I am not a perfect eater, but I try to select primarily healthy foods.
The past three days I have been offered a plethora of desserts, and I turned them all down (even Jesse’s grandmother’s homemade fudge). I am actually enjoying this no sweets challenge because I feel physically better.
Today is Saturday, and I am excited to eat all foods that I make at home. Plus I am planning an awesome workout! With two birthday parties, and one holiday over the past three days I don’t feel like my choices have been as “clean” as normal, but these events are part of life.
