One Day Clean Eating Challenge.

With my glasses, I have a really hard time exercising. But that doesn't mean I have to "put off" my health kick!

Today I am doing a One-Day Clean Eating Challenge. I'll post everything I eat here plus some stats and coordinating information, and we can analyze it at the end of the day.

Weight: 189.5
Woke up: 7:30 after pressing the snooze for one hour (alarm first went off at 6:30!)

8:15am
Energy: Lacking
Mood: Positive

Breakfast:
Smoothie (Plain fat free yogurt, strawberries, frozen blueberries, frozen mango, banana)

12:15pm
Energy: Lacking
Mood: Depressed, feelings of worthlessness and frustration.

Lunch:
Turkey burger with feta and spinach, mixed greens salad with carrots and simple lemon/olive oil dressing, fresh strawberries, 16oz water with lemon slice.  


3:10pm
Energy: Moderate
Mood: Normal, focused on the jobs at hand.

Snack:
1/2 Papaya with fresh lemon juice.



4:30pm
Energy: Good
Mood: Overwhelmed, frustrated, but focused

I started getting a *serious* sugar craving. Decided to try to stop it with a high protein snack.
Snack:
3 eggs, scrambled, from our backyard hens.
1 cup original Almond milk. (Sweetened, but it is what I had. Actually tastes too sweet.)

7:30pm
Energy: Waning
Mood: Overwhelmed, but not unhappy. 

Snack:
Fat free greek yogurt with fresh strawberries.
(I admit, I added about 1 tsp. organic sugar. Whoops.)

8:30pm
Energy: Stable, but winding down.
Mood: Frustrated but tolerable

Dinner
1 natural, pasture raised pork chop 
HUGE green salad with lemon olive oil dressing

Conclusion:
It has been a good day, though I definitely struggled with overeating. My sugar craving was satiated by the protein blast of scrambled eggs which was really quite wonderful. I remained snacky for the rest of the evening, though, and I don't know if it was true hunger or boredom. Hard to imagine it would be boredom with everything I do and need to do.

I think I will take tomorrow off and not stress over my food. One day on, one day off?
