My eat clean journey starts now


I just wanted to check in to say I'm still here. I don't want to say trudging along because weight loss is a journey that doesn't have to be drudgery. I returned to the gym two days ago and while I wasn't going at it fast and hard I went and I'm proud of myself.

Since September I've been following Paul McKenna's I can make you Thin "diet." I've lost approximately 22+ pounds just following his system. It's easy but SLOW. Since the process has been slow for me I've decided to take it up a notch and start working out + eating clean.

Maybe I shouldn't tackle two things at once but my eating has change TREMENDOUSLY since I started listening to Paul McKenna. I started eating clean without even knowing it. I started to reach for foods that weren't overly processed. I started eating real food. I started craving real food. So the other day my sister in law and brother were visiting and she mentioned how she makes it a point to eat clean. I was like well I've heard about it and I even bought the Kids and Families edition of the book some time ago for $3.50 at Marshall's but never really started to do it. That comment stuck and got me to thinking why not start?

Lately I've been in spring cleaning mode. My husband and I cleared out 1/2 the contents of the garage that a neighbor driving by thought we were having a garage sale! LOL I thought if I'm getting the house clean why not "clean" all other aspects of my life. So that's what started this journey of clean eating. Do you "eat clean?" if so how is it going for you? Any recipes you can share? Post below!
