Today was our first day of eating clean. I spent the past couple weeks scouting recipes, making a meal plan, reading research and prepping meals. My husband wasn't crazy about shopping at an organic health food store, but he went along w/ it and has been a good sport (so far). The meal planning went really well, until I realized I hadn't considered calories for each "meal." While I wasn't too far off in my food pairings, I realized this last night at 10 and had to scramble to get things sorted and packed for my husband. Lesson learned: I need to calculate calories for each meal in the day. (Which happens to be 5.)

I also increased my water intake and while I was peeing constantly, I was suprised by how easily I drank 7 glasses of water. (This was a 22 oz cup from Kwik Shop so really 14 glasses.)
I was also able to keep my temper and patience in check today in re: to my son. (Hopefully that doesn't make me sound like a crappy mom.) The only thing lacking from my day was exercise. I wasn't able to fit it in b/c my daughter decided she didn't need an afternoon nap. Instead she screamed for 20 min. while in her crib. I'm planning on tomorrow going better.
