I kinda wrote this 3 days ago and forgot to post so here's the post and I'm about to post an update on this :)
So I fell off the weight loss band wagon bad this past week, but just cause you mess up for a week doesn't mean you should quit all together. So I'm back on the band wagon and starting with eating clean. Gotta get all the (fabulous) yucky food outta my system. I ate clean for a week when I first started my weight loss journey and lost 5lbs the first week. There is just something about eating completely clean that does a body some good. After all the carabaras, outback, wine, candy, ice cream, Starbucks (count 7 in 2 days) and bread my body is freaking OUT! I mean why wouldn't it freak out. I'm holding onto tons of water weight from all the salt from all the bad food. My body hasn't had greasy food in months and has no clue how to procress the stuff anymore. So my body needs a good week or 2 of eating clean. I'm shooting for 5 days of eating clean and then we will see where to go from there. I say 5 days because Thanksgiving is next week and there is no way I'm passing on the yummyness of Thanksgiving.

I have a love hate relationship with eating clean. The first 2 days I feel like I'm starving and then everyday after that I feel AMAZING! So its getting past the first few days that is the HARDEST. But seeing the scale go up from water weight is the WORST thing in the world. So I don't care if I have to "starve" for the next 2 days I am sticking with my clean eating plan.
I got so wrapped up in all the yummy foods over the past month or so that I really stopped watching what I was eating and kind of went with the mind set of "Oh I will just work out and be fine". But that really doesn't work. I need to remind myself that this journey isn't only a couple month thing or a year thing. Its a forever thing and I will always be tempted by food and I need to find a way to have fun, eat and not over do it at the same time.
So my goal for this week is eat clean, don't cheat, lose the water weight, work out twice a day at least 3 times and not step on the scale until next Friday.
I have the worst habit of stepping on the scale every single morning. So my weight changes by ounces everyday. Its a habit I need to change. I need to weigh myself once a week and so from today till next Friday I will not weigh myself I will not even think about it. haha. Ok I will think about it every morning when I normally weigh myself but I think its whats best for me and my weight loss.
So there you have it. I failed with dieting and I'm here to change it =)
Here's a picture of the beginning of my clean eating.
