Ahhhhhh! A Sunday afternoon and all is quiet in the house at the moment - JP and Jenna are napping - and I am doing my Sunday afternoon routine...cooking for the week. So far I have flash cooked some lean steaks, cooked a pound of broccoli, baked 6 sweet potatoes to make mashed sweet potatoes from, and in the process of baking tilapia and 6 pounds of chicken. With a bag of brown rice (which JP cooks because he seasons it a certain way) and a large container of organic spring mix greens, all of this should get us through Wednesday...if we're lucky!
I forgot how much I love to eat like this. It makes such a difference. It truly is what my body needs for my workout style. So much so that I can eat six meals a day of this stuff and not crave anything else. We do allow for one cheat meal a week, and last week that meant I allowed a little shredded cheese on my salad and indulged at Colstone Creamery after dinner. Only....it did nothing for me. I ate less than half of my ice cream and I was over it.
What an amazing feeling! Back to eating clean for two weeks and my body has what it needs. No obsession over sugar or carbs. No dairy, very low sodium, and LOTS of water. I can feel my muscles again now because they are getting what they need to recover and grow. A much needed reminder to me that I not only am what I eat but I also become what I eat.
