It's Thursday and I'm ready for the weekend. I'm really not into this work week for some reason. Probably because I've been trying to diet and eat healthy all week, which translates to
For those of you who don't already know, hangry means hungry and angry, which describes my mood most of the time.
I've been gradually trying to ease myself into clean eating. This is actually really hard for me because my current eating habits are really not "clean" at all. But, I'm working on it. The hardest thing so far, is eliminating pop (soda). I am addicted to Diet cola. This includes Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi, and Diet Dr. Pepper. I will be the first person to tell you that I have no clue why I like them, because to be honest, they taste like straight asshole. Seriously though, when I made the move from regular to diet soda, I cringed at the thought of drinking diet pop. I'm not sure where I stopped detesting the horrific taste and actually started craving it, but it happened. I've started carrying a water bottle with me every day to avoid the urge to run to the nearest vending machine and buy a Diet Pepsi/Coke/Dr.Pepper. So far its working pretty well, except that whole caffeine withdrawal thing. I'm thinking about trying Advocare's Spark to have during the day when I need a little pick me up.
The other huge barrier in my clean eating journey, is the convenience factor of "dirty" food. I am so guilty of just picking the most easily prepared food rather than the most nutritious. I'm working on that too. I started trying to snack on fresh veggies and fruit rather than my previous go to snacks. I know that my diet and weight didn't get out of control overnight so its not going to fix itself overnight.
I'm pretty sure some good meal planning and preparation on the weekends will really help. So thats my plan for Sunday afternoon. Meal Planning>Grocery Shopping>Meal Prep
I'll try to post my plan and daily meals to make myself more accountable :)
Didn't have time to post this yesterday, so my post today is actually from Thursday. Sorrrryyyyy.
