I won something!!

I couldn't believe it, but I entered a radio competition and I won!!! Now, I have to inform you that I never win ANYTHING but I won Calgary's xl103 New Years resolution competition, I won a gift certificate to Fitness Depot, how fabulous is that? This will come in great because there's freezing cold, blizzarding days when you just don't won't to leave the house and I don't have to now, mind you I don't know how much it's for, but whatever it is will be wonderful and helpful as I'm not working right now. Thanks so much Xl103!

I took advantage of the lovely weather again today and went for a brisk hour long walk and stuck to the "Eating Clean" plan again without too much problem. I also went for an hour long weigh training class at my local gym, which is great because they work all the body parts and I like the whole class atmosphere it keeps you motivated.

Tonight I attended my weekly Overeater's Anonymous group, which is such an important part of my life, my well-being, my sanity, my healthy eating lifestyle, my spirituality. It's a vital part of my mental health, because once I'm out of control with the food, everything else in my life is out of control. I have been a member for five years and without a doubt it has changed my life, I know my life isn't perfect, but that's not what we strive for, my life has definitely changed for the better, the compulsion with the food becomes less and less. I'm thinking my final decision to cut out sugar and flour too should help my cause enormously. I have made wonderful friends in the programme and learnt an unbelievable amount of stuff about myself and I'm still learning!

Down the hatch:-

Breakfast:- 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1 scoop protein powder, 1tbsp bee-pollen, 1tbsp flax seed, large glass of water & cup of coffee.

Lunch: 1 grilled chicken breast, lettuce, cucumbers, radishes, large glass of water.

Snack: 1 scoop protein powder, orange juice, blueberries, all blended into a yummy smoothie & cup coffee.

Dinner: Tuna steak (so yummy!) & 1/2 roasted sweet potato.

Activity: 1 hour long walk & 1 hour weight training class.

I'm feeling better each day on this programme, I'm so glad I took the leap and wasn't afraid, I didn't believe in a million years that I could ever live without sugar and flour and processed packaged foods. I'm loving the actual natural taste of all the foods I'm trying and haven't disliked one thing yet. I might have to switch out the oatmeal soon, I can have different thing's I've just been sticking with it out of convenience, but I don't want to get fed up of it, I love oatmeal.

So I'm hitting the sack now, what a lovely fun filled day! I wish you all one too.
