Cravings and Comfort oh my!

After an entire week of clean eating with only a couple "slips" I am feel quite good. I mean as good as some one that isn't filling their body with "products" and now fuelling her body with food. I realized food can be my energy, comfort and not hurt. I am no longer experiencing the bloating and the pains after eating like I did in the beginning and my body is now starting to crave new things.

I made my own dark chocolate bites - yum right?! well those of you readers that know me, know that I am a complete chocoholic. I have had two a day and really not craved them like I normally would. I am   however hungry more often now that I am eating clean and I am told that is simply because my body is able to digest the foods much faster than anything processed or "products."

I go back for more blood work in September and I am anxious and excited to see the results. There is a good chance that nothing has changed, but if it hasn't then I keep working towards the change. Over the last 2 weeks of better eating, making sure I pack lunches, that I don't make excuses and fast meals don't have to be through a drive through window.

I also have been exercising regularly whether its swinging my kettlebell for 25 minutes or going for a run I make time in my day for my health. I mean why would we not take time to take care of the only body we have? I always knew I needed to take my health more seriously, I guess I could get away with it because I was young and had a lot of time to reverse it! Well... my time is now because if I continue my life the way it was it will take me forever to change.

I believe making sure I eat breakfast, making sure I plan meals, and not letting "time" be an excuse for eating something bad for my body. Making time for me and the only body I have is one of my main priorities now and I advise the rest of you to think the same.

I do need to take my own advice and remind you and myself "the number on the scale does NOT define you"

Until next time,
