Hello loves!
I get loads of questions about how & what I eat, so, I’ve been keeping track of everything I’ve been eating over here over the last 7 days to share with you all in hopes that you find some clean eating inspiration from what I’ve taken note of here. Food Journaling, is a great way to keep track of everything passing thru that mouth, simply making you more mindful of what you are eating and perhaps what you should not be eating AND this can absolutely include not eating enough, but that’s for another post.
As you’ll see below, my day to day is pretty repetitive as far as what I eat. With that being said, another question I get asked often is “don’t you get bored of eating salads, smoothies, etc”? A: No. I genuinely LOVE eating this way – it IS my lifestyle, it is not a diet. I don’t feel deprived. I freaking love salads. I love smoothies. I love my greens & veggies. I also eat seasonally, which is a wonderful way to beat the boredom and keep your plate & palate healthy & happy. On the flip side, I love red wine, french fries & dark chocolate. oh, yes. yes & yessss!
Eating the foods below keeps me looking & feeling my best/healthiest/leanest/most energetic, which in turn makes me feel beautiful, sexy & confident in my skin & in my clothes. If your just tuning in or just don’t already know, I have sensitivites to gluten & dairy — keeping these foods out of my body make me and most importantly, my stomach feel better. I’ve gotten a much better hold over over my digestive issues over the last several years, but, I still continue to struggle with stomach problems here & there, especially during PMS when my hormones are all outta whack. (my hormones really throw my body for a loop) Speaking of….I just so happened to get my monthly visitor on Thursday afternoon. I wanted to curl up in a ball on the floor and cry, I had the worst cramps. My stomach was water for 2 days and then I didn’t poop for 2 days. (eek, TMI?? sorry) yeah so, putting all that out there…yes, my appetite fluctuates depending on what’s going on with my digestion or lack there of.
My healthy is not your healthy. What works for me may/may not work for you. I’m super in tune with my body and know how to keep this machine running her best & over the years, I have developed a balance that works for me. I hope you find my journal helpful/insightful and I’ll try to share these more often to show how what I eat from week to week changes, because yes, some weeks are better than others.. xx
much love, health & happiness,
