You Are What You Eat.
This post marks the end of the first week of a new year and new regime. Although I did not blog everyday, by now you get the gist of what my daily diet will be: oatmeal, rice, fruit, vegetables,nuts, seeds, fish, chicken, smoothies, decaf coffee, rooibos tea(and more, of course) are all foods that are healthy and “clean”.
Clean eating is free of excess sugar, fats, heavy sauces and processed ingredients. Remember the old saying, “You are what you eat”?
Now that I have “survived” the first week with NO issues, I will aim to blog 2-3 times weekly about my personal journey. As time permits, I will include one health and wellbeing piece.For today though, here’s what happened.
Weight: 50kgs
Exercise: 20 minute walk after dinner
Breakfast:
- Fruit smoothie with LSA and rice milk
- A handful of toasted nuts
- Decaf coffee with rice milk
- Vit C 1000mg
- Bromelain
Early Lunch:
- Salmon and vegetable risotto
- One raw carrot
- Vit C 1000mg
Mid-Afternoon
- Decaf soy latte
Early Dinner
- Home-cooked roast free-range chicken with roast potato, beetroot, onion, garlic, carrot and steamed peas and green beans with a small amount of homemade, gluten free gravy.
- Vit C 1000mg
Physically: I feel awesome.
- I am drinking more water.
- I am having daily bowel movements with NO issues.
- I am not having that afternoon tired feeling that I have when I eat excess sugar or bread products.
- My sinuses are improving greatly.
- I’ve only used my ventolin twice this entire first week.
There is so much literature out there at the moment about New Year resolutions and how they are set up to make you fail or how you can achieve them or whatever. I think if you are true to yourself and you are doing something entirely for yourself, there can be no failure. 2012 is going to be a great year; I can feel it.
