And i don't mean for my house... although, now that you mention it, a little dusting wouldn't hurt! Nope, I mean in terms of my health. I have "discovered" (and by that I mean that a friend found it, read it, and recommended it to me... ere go, I discovered it!) a great new lifestyle in the world of diet and excercise! In today's wording it basically means that I am eating foods that are natural, not processed. Our grandparent's would have just called it "eating right".
So, in a nutshell the lifestyle goes something like this: Eat things in as close to their natural state as possible and omit all processed items entirely. i.e. Oatmeal that you cook... not instant oatmeal. fruits, veggies, lean meats, nuts, some dairy, whole wheats. No white flour, white sugar, or refined sugars. No pre-packaged foods of any kind. I used to think... "No way is that possible! You wouldn't be able to eat ANYTHING!" Seriously~ How can you cut out processing in this day and age?? In all honesty, you would really be surprised at how many options you really do have once you kick that mindset. Let me just say, I have been doing this for just a short time.... but I have seen amazing things in that short time! My energy is thru the roof! I am satisfied and full (although I still have the habit of a snack in the evening, it is now on healthy items so I feel much better about it now!) and I can see the hard work I've been putting in at the gym for the last year finally being revealed... and I really like what I'm seeing! So just a warning... you may be getting posts from time to time as I relay my journey (and by proxy my family's journey... 'cause let's face it, Momma does the shopping!) into the world of "Clean Eating"... Warning! This could change the way you eat too!
Now if I could just find a way to get that other spring cleaning done.....
