I have to say that so far the Clean Eating thing is a mixed bag, some days are awesome and others are not so much.
Friday for example, I ate clean all week, sweat my ass off, then I jumped on the scale. Bad idea.
I gained a freaking pound, are you serious???? In what universe do you stuff your face with veggies and gain a pound?
In mine.
So what did I do? I did what any former fat girl would do, I skipped my workout and ate a {delicious} burger AND fries for dinner.
Then weighed myself the next day.
WTF is wrong with me?? I gained 5 pounds from that burger. Ok, so it was mostly sodium but still. Old habits sure die hard around here!
BUT like any former fat girl who lost over a 100 pounds I picked myself up and shoved a zucchini in my mouth.
And I lost the 5 plus 1 more today, putting me at 149.
I think I may have to skip the cheat meals on the weekends, I would say Jackie Warner is full of bs about having 2 cheat meals, but my husband {the lucky SOB} ate awful over the weekend {and great during the week} and is the lowest he has ever been. I guess it works for some people.

I wanted to share some of my favorite new ‘clean’ ish recipes with you, trying out new things has been good for my palate, I think I was a little burned out on my regular go to recipes.

I think I tried goat cheese in the past and didn't like it, but I saw this recipe in the CE book and thought I'd give it a go. Soooo glad I did, I could eat this everyday!
1 zucchini sliced and grilled
Mix basil, parsley, goat cheese, a little lemon juice and salt and pepper .
You are supposed to roll them up, but that seemed like extra work, I just threw it on and gobbled it up.
I think the lemon juice makes the goat cheese better.
This next one is a weekly staple.
I know the picture isn't great, but it sure is yummy!
Sweet Potato Chili { I added ground turkey to it}
I've come around to regular oatmeal, I kinda miss the flavored ones, but I saw this link on Pinerest and I'm going to try some out.
This one is so easy I love it! Just chicken, red potatoes and green beans, throw some Italian seasoning {the packet from the dressing aisle} on it and cover with foil. Bake a 350 for an hour.
I've had a few flops, one being the stuffed bell peppers, so if you've tried one and loved it send it my way! Mine was just too blah.
Race season is coming up, I have a 10k and a half I'm doing and I'm wanting to put little Miss in a 1k so I'm taking her out for her training runs :)
