I confess....
One week into this no eating processed food challenge and it turns out that it is both easier and harder than I originally thought it would be!
I confess....
I am now one week into the challenge and my energy level is through the roof! And I haven't even added in exercising yet. That is coming next week, Iswear hope! We still haven't joined a gym after we moved.
I confess....
It was hard giving up caffeine and junk food but now my body has adjusted. Read- no more caffeine withdrawal headaches.
I confess....
Normally I feel like I've hit a wall at 4 pm. That is no longer happening now that I"m off caffeine and eating real food. Knowing how much better I feel is making this challenge easier.
BUT, I really miss things like ice cream, Diet Coke, and chips! And that is making it harder than I thought.
I confess....
I'm really proud of myself for not cheating once in my first week. They say the first week is the hardest and now it's behind me.
I confess....
I have been cooking up a storm though and it's getting a little old. Even for someone like me who loves to cook.
I confess....
I think I know why Brett signed on to this challenge.
I confess....
I've cooked dinner every night.
And I made a crustless veggie quiche for breakfast.
And I made some freeze and bake cookies.
And I've made some yummy lunches instead of the plain jane sandwiches we usually eat.
Yep, I totally get why he agreed to this challenge.
I confess....
The best part of this challenge is that I'm saving money! I went $10 under budget last week and I'm on track to go $20 under budget this week. Plus, I went $10 under budget for date night last week and I didn't spend a penny this week.

Saving money is the best part of this challenge!

How I used to feel at 4 pm!

You are soooo much stronger than I am. I fail at all diets I try because I can't walk away from mt dew.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's why I'm successful, it's not really a diet in the the traditional sense. I'm still eating cookies-I just have to bake them.
DeleteThis is so impressive! I give you lots of credit and know I wouldn't be able to do it! Keep up the good work!!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. We are doing the same thing---keeping the coffee, though. I have found that some meals are just about as easy to cook a little bigger, so I don't have to cook on a weekend or a busy day :)
ReplyDeleteIt is helpful to have at least one night off from cooking. The crazy thing is that I thought I was eating pretty healthy, but this challenge has shown me that I was in denial.
DeleteSame here! Now that I am making everything---everything!--from scratch and trying to diversify--only whole foods, use something besides wheat flour, for example--I have found out just how much junk we had in our "healthy" diet. What gets me is the amount of time and planning that goes into it. I hope that gets easier as I go along and learn the tricks. I'll enjoy reading the things you find out,too:)
DeleteGetting out from our comfort zone, I must say never easy. I always tried to eat clean but every time I only manage to do halfway. :( I agree that saving money is the best part of this challenge. TQ for sharing.
