Review of week 6 and another lesson learned

I can't believe that I am already 6 weeks into my year of healthy eating.  I honestly feel so much better than I have in a very long time.  I had a ton of fun running in the Just Cuz Half Marathon with my friend Priscilla.  I think that because I have been eating clean, I had more energy and that helped my get a great time, plus it helped to have someone to talk to for 2 hours.  I was able to do all the strength training that I had planned on for the week and I kept my food very clean.

And the lesson I learned (this is not the 1st time):
Last night, my husband and I went to dinner at my favorite Mexican Food Restaurant.  I ate a little of the chips, beans, and salsa and I decided to eat my 1st "treat" meal (I hate to call it that because I'm not rewarding myself with food), so I got what I would have ordered in the past: soft chicken taco and tamale.  Then afterward we ran some errands, and we went to Kiwi Loco (self serve frozen yogurt).  I got no sugar added raspberry topped with mangos, raspberries and blackberries and chopped peanuts.  I asked the guy working there if they added sugar to their fruit and he said they didn't, so I'm taking his word for it!  I'm sure that I drove Mike nuts because the closest I have come to a sweet lately is an apple or dates, so with each bite I told him how delicious it was.  Later that night and into today, I have just felt ill.  My stomach is just a mess.  I'm guessing it was the tamale or chips or maybe even the energy gel that I had during the 1/2 marathon.  Whatever it is, I'm staying away from "unclean" food for awhile!!!
