Eating Clean - Day One

Day one is done and I feel good!  

*And FYI I will not be posting daily about this.  I'll just do a post every week or so to let you know that I'm not failing horribly and also it'll help keep me accountable.

Before I go on I want to clarify... A lot of people have different ideas about what "eating clean" is.  None of these ideas are right or wrong.  My idea of eating clean is no processed food.  However I will eat turkey deli meat.  I love Columbus turkey.  It's minimally processed and they have one with low sodium.  I'll be sticking to veggies (raw or steamed), fresh fruits, lean meats/proteins, minimal salt intake, and minimal dairy.

Here's how today went:

Breakfast - Cottage cheese and a banana.

Snack - Sliced turkey.

Lunch - A huge pile of carrots w/ hummus and two scrambled eggs topped with pepper and dill.

Snack - Handful of strawberries and TJ's Green Drink Mix in water.

Dinner - A plate of steamed broccoli and homemade turkey/veggie/black bean chili.

Snack - Roasted seaweed snack (my favorite) while I watch The Biggest Loser!    


I drank a TON of water today.

And before bed I'll have ginger/chamomile tea.  Yum.

So today was a breeze.  This is how I normally eat but a lot of the time there is some candy or chips thrown into the mix.  But not today!  One day down!  29 more to go!

Happy Clean Eating!

go you! would you consider doing a weekly recap of what you ate... or at least a few highlight? I'm super interested:)

Stephanie, yes! I'll probably do it weekly... And that'll give me incentive to do good alllll week and not cheat!!

Now this is a great idea!

I´m trying to cook as much as possible lately instead of buying ready-made stuff or eating out. So I KNOW what I eat.

Have you ever tried Oven-Pumpkin? That´s what eat at least twice a week lately :D
It´s so simple - just cut a Hokkaido Pumpkin into slices (about 0,5 inch), put it on a baking plate with some onions (cut in bigger pieces as well), a tiny lil bit oil on them, cumin, salt... leave it in the oven (370F) for about 25 mins... YUMMY!!! Today I had it with some chicken and brown rice.
