Eating Clean Challenge Day 1

Today was the first day of my eating clean challenge and I have to say not bad, not bad.

One of the rules of eating clean is to eat every 2 -3 hours.  I focused on this today because I have not wanted to eat lately.  A lot of times, this is what keeps weight on me because I do not consume enough calories and my body does not like it.  Plus I have hypothyroidism, which makes this worse.  So how did I do with eating every 2 - 3 hours. Not bad.

Here is my day of eating:

I started my morning off drinking coffee with cream. (I will try and give the cream up at a later date) Cannot do everything at once.

9:00am - 10:30am

Plum, 2 hardboiled eggs, coffee, and 16 oz water

This meal was extremely hard for me to eat but I got it down.  Just did not want to eat.

Lunch at 1pm

Nutty chicken salad from Jason's Deli.  Delicious.

3pm snack

String Cheese

I also had four thin mint like cookies.  We had an ice cream social that I had to set up for and the cookie smell drove me nuts, so I ate a couple.  Not a sweet person so I was a little sad that I ate these.

5:30pm

Home from work and extremely hungry.  Ate 7 carrot sticks with light ranch dressing.

6:15pm 

Seafood salad with a slice of cornbread that I made.  The salad was yummy and purchased at Walmart. Good to have on hand for me when I just want something light.  

I also had several more 16 ounces of water to drink for a total of 80 ounces.  

Exercise:

Walked 20 minutes before work. 

Walked 20 minutes around 9pm.

I think overall I had a good day.
