Ready to Start Again

I started this journey, correction RE-started this journey because I was in a serious, awful funk. I had previously done clean eating for approximately 4 years when I was married.

I had moved myself and my children into my boyfriend's home with his 3 kids after being separated from my ex-husband for over a year. I had lost weight when I was living on my own with my daughters because I had very little money. We often utilized the local food bank and I shopped the discount bins at the grocery store for meat and other staples. We rarely ate big meals and I always made sure their tummies were full before mine.

Once we moved in with Dan (my boyfriend) and his family in July, I started cooking more because I have a nice kitchen to cook in and of course I started overeating!

By December I was stuffing my face with Christmas chocolates, chips and everything else and my jeans no longer fit. I had been sick with colds and flus every month and my whole body was hurting.

After New Year's I started feeling really awful and decided it was time for a change. I started with a Reboot juice cleanse on January 19-21 and started my new Clean Eating habits that Monday.

I'm not going to lie, the Reboot was hard... really hard! But afterwards I felt fantastic! And now that I am sticking to a clean diet, I feel good about myself and my skin is clear. So, this blog is about my journey and will include some meal plans, recipes, etc.
