Today has been a jam packed day and its still not over. I got in a leg session and 5K at the gym then headed to Kroger to do our weekly shopping. I have a rule to not go to the grocery after 12 on a Sunday and I broke that rule today. IDIOT. It was insanely busy and even with a list I managed to forget a few items, but that's ok my work is very close to Kroger so I'll just make another trip.
After the groceries were put away, I focused on my homework for the week and then meal planning. I made Egg Muffins for Justin with eggs, egg whites, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, and turkey sausage and I have Pumpkin Spice Protein Bars in the oven right now for me. I also have black beans soaking as a a side for tomorrow's dinner, Crock Pot Mexican Chicken. Purchasing dried bean versus canned allows me to control what is in them and I can flavor them however I want, also it is so much cheaper!
Also I posted the first set of pictures over on the Progress Pictures tab. I have to be honest, I had a real struggle with agreeing to post them; like most people, I am self conscious and only see the flaws. However I felt like if I posted the pictures, I would have another reason to continue with this journey and more motivation. Seeing yourself in a picture is so much different than looking in the mirror.
Anyway, week one of eating clean was an absolute success. No cheats. It has required quite a bit of planning and preparing, but me and S.E are worth it. Onto Week 2........
