UPDATE!
Well, well, well. I may have taken a break from posting, but I can say that I have done a pretty ok job of eating nutritarian. Kate has taken a break too because she had a baby!!!

I am not going to lie. I have slipped a lot from where I was after my first six-week challenge. Yes, I have occasionally eaten entire pepperoni pizza, followed it up with 2 scoops of artisan ice cream, and chased it with a couple cocktails. I have eaten a couple burgers, oooh some doritos, and cake. I have been eating a pretty flexible diet, especially when I eat out or have dinner at a friend's place.
BUT, it hasn't bothered me too much because I usually follow it up with several very healthy meals. My breakfast and lunch is usually very healthy. My body yells at me every time I eat like crap anyway. It screams "I need nutrients now!"....it is strange but I can really feel it.
I feel a little worn down and slightly addicted to some of the saltier and sweeter treats. So, it is time for me to challenge myself to eat a nutritarian diet again. One change thought...on the days that I work out I am going to eat some eggs. They make awesome little protein packs.
I did my Trader Joe's shopping for the week and made up a soup that should last me a couple days. It is a Black Bean and Butternut Squash Chili. Oh it is awesome. I had some for dinner tonight.
SO, wish me luck as I fight my salt, oil, and sugar cravings and recondition myself to enjoy the true flavors of nutritious food.
Diet Starts Tomorrow!
(but it actually started tonight with dinner)
