I'm trying something new...

Overall, I would say I eat pretty healthy. At least, I try to be mindful of what I eat, and when it's something I shouldn't be, I know it. However, I realize lately that I just don't feel that great physically. I could be healthier. So a couple of days ago I made a conscious decision to try to ci It out white flour and processed foods and sugar as much as I could...focusing on fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grain, and natural protein. The only crappy thing I have honestly put in my mouth in the last 4 days is Diet Coke. And even that, I've cut down on. And you know what I've discovered, I kind of don't miss that other stuff as much as I thought I would. When I'm hungry for a snack...which surprisingly hasn't been as often, I pop some fresh cherries or an apple with almond butter. I never thought I would feel satisfied with a dinner that didn't have some noodles or rice or potato on the side, but I have been. The only time I seem to struggle is right after dinner when I want some dessert. I'm getting through it ok. I'm kind of shocked that I enjoy fruit and vegetables as much as I have been. I hope this sticks...or at least becomes more of a habit than it has.
