Have You heard of Eating Clean?

Hey all - here I am - Wednesday blog!  YAY me for sticking to my Wednesday blog day!!  ( Thanks to Cherise for reminding me today! )  

 I was ready to press publish to this post in the afternoon but for some darn reason - it will not upload any of my pictures...  It's still not, so I had to change my entire post!  ARGH!  Super annoying!  Oh well you will have to wait to have a laugh at my expense another day!  It was good too!

It is a busy time for us now with Mom's day only a month away.  Have you thought about what you could surprise your mom with this year?  I'm sure we could help you with plenty of ideas!  We have got her covered from her heat to her toes!

Things have been pretty busy in the life of SHE I have to say!  There is always a ton to do, a ton to think about, and a ton to plan, as I mentioned last week I am trying to get better at the planning part.  I got myself this cool new book to keep track of everything.  It basically is daytimer looseleaf!  Pefect for me and all of my "lists"  I have always been a list maker, and I have never had more lists in all of my life.  Oh well, we learn new things every day so away I go!

One new thing I have been training myself to do is to eat better and to eat breakfast!  I have never been much of a breakfast eater, and I KNOW I need to, so I have been really making an effort for the past couple weeks to change some of my ways, and I have been doing really well! 

I began to read a book called "Eating Clean" by Tosca Reno - it was recommended to me by a friend and also my cousin who is bascially one big muscle!  I am excited about this book and the eat clean lifestyle - it is not easy to change into, and it is a TON to learn, but I am making small changes a bit at a time.  Every day is not perfect, today was one of them, but I am not beating myself up about it.  I am getting better all of the time and choosing cleaner food to eat. I feel so much better about what is going into my body that is for sure.

I have been eating real cooked oatmeal with fresh strawberries or blueberries and wheatgerm, or shredded wheat for breakfast. The trick is to eat "clean" "live" foods all day long basically!  I have been choosing food to eat all day like a hard boiled egg, a piece of fruit, cut up veggies ( no dip! )  Whole wheat wraps with tuna... I could go on...  I am having a challenge figuring out what to eat, and planning my shopping slection to include a better variety, but am positive I am on the right track!  I will keep you posted as I progress!  Exciting times!!
