Why did I resist so long?



Why did I resist eating healthier so long?  I've been really consistent with working out for the last two years.  But, for some silly reason.  I was determined not to give in to healthful eating.  Yes, I changed my eating habits for the better over time.  But for the life of me, I didn't really want focus on the quality of my food.  I know my way around the kitchen exceptionally well, but preferred packaged/processed foods.  I guess I didn't want to cross over into a tree hugging health nut.  Maybe I still wanted that feeling of inclusion.  Most of my family and friends could give a rat's arse about how much artificial 'anything' is found in there daily diets.  Well except you Karen.  LOL, but you're the definition of weird anyway, so you don't count!  <hug>

After enjoying my oatmeal for breakfast I am so pissed at myself for taking so long to try something new.

My clean oatmeal was made from:

Old fashioned oats, blueberries, banana, toasted slivered almonds, cinnamon and drizzled with maple syrup.

I highly recommend it!

7 days... 7 lbs

Ha! I actually stuck to an eating clean plan for a week.  I'm happy to announce I've also lost seven pounds in the process.  I'm extremely excited about what the next few weeks will produce.  I'm not approaching this from a dieting perspective.  This is a lifestyle change that I plan to adopt for the long haul.  I  feel better and stronger in this small period of time.
