I'm officially a firm believer in clean eating.
At first, it was more experimental than anything - to see if I noticed a change in how I feel, look, etc.
The weight loss seems to have balanced itself out as I've gained back 2 of the 4.5 lbs lost. I think my body was just in shock for a little bit and freaked out!
Now, the other night, Mike had a small going away get together because he left his current branch to move to a new one. It was at a Mexican restaurant and I knew, knew, I would not be able to resist the chips and salsa. I didn't have a single sip of alcohol (which was difficult with $3 margaritas). I split a steak taco dinner with Mike which was remarkably filling and tasted amazing!
Then the next day happened. Food hangover city, folks. I don't know who remembers this about me, but I usually get a couple good (read: bad) headaches a week. I've been on prescriptions before but had to go off when we decided to start a family. The first day of clean eating I had a caffeine withdrawal headache - a can of Pepsi cleared it up in minutes. The day after eating out (read: eating unclean), boom: headache. I tried to go as long as I could Thursday without taking medicine because I wanted the reminder of what it does to my body to eat so poorly. I made it about half the day before I popped a couple ibuprofen (and then 2 later on in the day).
I'm going to try my absolute hardest to not do that to myself again. If I can make it a full week of clean eating with no headache, maybe I can convince my husband that it wasn't just a coincidence or hypochondria.
