Lovely Friend,The more that I plod through this clean eating journey, placing one step in front of the other, the more that I realize how uniformed that I have been. Some days I want to practically scream at the old me, "Wake up!! Can't you see how this food is treating your body? Don't you think that the God that designed your body would have also designed the food for it?" I honestly get so frustrated at her for causing so much damage for so long. But, in the same token, I have to forgive her. She was highly uninformed, doing what had always been done, and led by her emotions.
While the old girl had a great life, this new girl is having an amazing one! I really never realized how much food controlled my decisions, my health, and MY MOOD! A good attitude change can do wonders for your relationships and overall daily outlook. Wow, who knew?!
So in my daily battle to CHOOSE to eat clean, I have come up with some tricks to keep me on the straight and narrow to rebel against the American eating norm. One of my favorite tricks are good snacks. Personally, I am a snacker by trade, but really left them behind with good clean meals. I have found that I don't really need them, except for when I have gone too long between meals and I am ravishing and very hungry. Getting into this zone is one that usually derails me, so having clean snacks on hand can prevent the derail and tide me over until the meal. Here is a list of my favorite five!
My Five Favorite Easy Snacks:
- Green Apple Whole or Sliced with 1 Tbsp Almond Butter
- A Cup of Strawberries and Blueberries Mixed
- A Handful of Almonds
- Cucumber Salad
- Sliced Yellow and Red Bell Peppers
Giving it my all,
Jess
