First Post on Blog

Hello all,

I believe in my profile I initially said that this group was for women and I apologize. It is not. Whomever feels encouraged by my blog is welcome. Come one come all. I have been on a journey for quite a while and I am finally at a place in my life where I don't feel that I have to be on a specific diet for this or that (Yo-Yo diets). Since I found Tosca Reno's Clean Eating and I have been loving it. I might not have been a perfect Angel, which throughout my Blog you will see I have cheat days ,birthdays, and etc. But overall I feel good about knowing how to make good choices. When I read her book I understand that if I am just maintaining my weight and I want to lose weight a little faster for a photo or a reunion I can reduce mu whole grain/ carbohydrate intake down to the those on the Low Glycemic index so that I get the maximum results from my workouts. I do not have to starve myself.
Currently I am doing
Exercise:
Jillian Micheal's "No More Trouble Zones" DVD and running on alternating days with one day off for Rest.

Eating:

B: Oatmeal w/ blueberries (Try 4 egg whites) I had 1 scoop protein powder and that was nasty
S: 1 slice Ezekiel cinnamon raisin toast, Pear, 1 prepackaged 2% cottage cheese by Breakstones
L: 1 cup black beans 2 cups spinach (steamed)
    1/ 2 cup greek yogurt 1 tbsp agave nectar
S: Apple w/ 100 cal pack Emerald natural almonds
D: 5 oz chicken Breast w/ 1/2 cup mixed veggies and 1 cup green beans
S: Air-popped popcorn (I had a Jello Mousse pudding which is not clean eating food just in case you need to know)

 I hope I have a successful blog that helps, motivates, and encourages people. Let's do this thing together. I have tons of ideas for southern dishes to clean them up if I am contacted. I have just been able to wean myself off alot of them and I actually crave exekiel bread, almonds, and, plain sweet potatoes.

  2. Awe Dee thank you lady! I want to talk health and fitness and to alot of people you have to look the part. I saw that from a discussion with a co-worker yesterday. She was talking about a lady like a dog who was actually fit in my eyes. I guess we will never be able to please everyone but I do know that in my own eyes I have too much body fat to really pursue my hobby of at least mentoring people to their weightloss goals.
