Week 11: I'm feeling very Dirty!!!

And it's not just because I'm in Sin City. I guess that I just took 2 days off of clean eating. Yes, I feel a little bit guilty,but as George Washington said “It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one,” so I will not make excuses for my behavior.

I texted my husband today and told him that I have a stomach ache from eating dirty. He texted me back that falling off the wagon is part of recovery. Funny, but true. I remember writing a post recently about being addicted to sugar. These past 2 days I felt like a recovering alcoholic in a bar, except I'm a recovering sugar-holic in a house filled to the brim with sweets.

Since this is a process, then that means that I'm just trying to figure this out. What did I do right on this trip? I brought healthy snacks and breakfast. I exercised 6 days this week. I have stuck with eating clean, with few cheats for nearly 11 weeks. What did I do wrong? I overrate. I did not limit myself to 1 cheat meal and treat. I just ate whatever for 2 days straight.

This is the question: Since I ate clean for the past 3 months and then ate like crap for 2 days, will it effect my long term goals? Have I totally destroyed my chances of a bikini body? No, even though I have totally taken 2 days off, I can jump back into it tomorrow. I just need to kick myself in the butt and press the reset button. The new me know what to do to live a clean eating lifestyle.

And tomorrow: detox!!! I will be drinking lots of lemon water and green tea.
