Week 1 down - 12 to go!

As the title tells - I am done with week 1.

So far its been pretty challenging. There have been times where I've really wanted to quit and just sit down and relax but the motivation from posting my commitment on face book has really kept me going! I'm so happy that I made that commitment publicly or I know I wouldn't be trying as hard as I am.

Now I really want to talk about my diet.

I would have to say my one downfall this week has been my food intake. Everyone who knows me knows I have a massive sweet tooth (I love me some lollies) My meals have been really good choices but it is the treats that let me down so my next commitment is to eat "clean" for the next 7 days to see how much of a difference this change makes to my energy and output.

Now some of you might be like what the heck is "eating clean"? To me its all about fresh!!
Anything processed or "man-made" are things I am going to avoid. This includes processed meats, lollies, chocolate, fizzy drinks, cordial - basically anything with chemicals and ingredients I don't recognise!!

Next Monday I'll let you all know exactly how this change helps and how I feel after :)

The next thing I want to touch on is how my body is reacting.

So far I haven't lost any "weight" but I tell you now and I tell you true - In just one week I have lost centimetres!! I really wish I had taken measurements on day one instead of just taking pictures and weighing myself. I have a couple pairs of pants that I wear that were just a wee bit toight on me that now fit real nice :) yay.

I am also having less trouble with my stomach - again those who know me know that I can't have dairy, bread - well basically anything thats not plants or meat that won't give me a sore tummy! I am pleased to announce that in just a week I am noticing a change :) things are getting better. I'm excited to see how this clean eating will help with this area of my life too..

I'll be back again in a week with an update on my progress and my new clean eating plan!
