Clean Eating Part 2

This week was supposed to be my clean eating challenge but after my pizza night and stomach flu, I haven't done very well with it.

I found a two week mostly clean eating plan that I'm going to try for my hubby and I. I've got a plan for breakfast, lunch and dinner along with all the recipes needed. I really like her approach to clean eating. She focuses 80% on clean eating (avoiding: processed foods, artificial colors/flavors/preservatives, refined flours and sugars) and then 20% is real life. Stuff happens and you can find yourself having to eat something that isn't the cleanest.

I'm going to put a grocery list together so tonight we can stock up. Most likely we'll start Sunday.

Time to focus.

    GOOD FOR YOU!! Over the past few years, I've stopped buying processed foods (bye-bye Lean Cuisine), have only an occasional diet soda, and make as much as I can from scratch. I even learned how to can vegetables and fruit! I love having that full pantry of my own work to use in recipes. I also waged war on processed sugar two years ago - a battle I'm winning more lately! That one is a constant struggle.

    I know I could do more, but I also know I'm doing what I can right now. More will come down the road. It's a journey, that's for sure. Too hard to do all at once!

    Looking forward to hearing how it goes for you. Did you say you're following a blog? Want to share the link?

    Maybe we can share some recipes!
