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!!!
