Day 1 of Eating Clean and Working out for 6 Weeks

So yesterday I went to Winnipeg with my friend Tanya to the Tosca Reno seminar! There were lots of people from Portage la Prairie there (Cindy, Natalie, Dawne, Dianne, Nicki, Jackie) so I think we will all be following her rules of healthy eating into the future. She looks amazing in person at the age of 52, and I hope to look just as good if not better at her age!

The things that I found out that were news to me (I have most of her books) are the following:

• Quinoa is a seed and is an excellent source of protein


• Get rid of Sugar (it is the devil and can make you look puffy and bloated)


• Look for items in the grocery store that have less than 5 ingredients in them (they are more clean as long as you know what the ingredients are)


• Have ground up Flax seed every day (2-3 table spoons)


• Want to spice up your love life? Add 1 cup of broccoli and little bit of coconut oil to your diet everyday for a week!


• Use coconut oil to cook with when cooking with high heat (it is more heat stable)


• Drink up to 3 litres of water a day and add a pinch of sea salt and a squeeze of lemon juice so that the water will not go through you so quickly


• Sea salt has approximately 90 trace minerals to your body that you require and normal salt has only 2!


• Take 2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar 20 minutes prior to 3 meals every day (this will help with your acid in your stomach and can help you digest your food better plus it is shown to aid in weight loss)


• Ensure you chew your food well (approximately 25 times for each bite full) Why? Because some foods actually digest in your mouth and this will help with that process as well as slow your eating down so you will recognize when you are full!


• Finally How do you stay motivated? Take Action and get results. Find your FIRE, PASSION And DETERMINATION!!!

I really enjoyed all the reminders that Tosca shared with us and she is a ball of energy and passion, who lives what she preaches!

So now onward to the next 6 weeks....(I have joined Shea Fust's Bootcamps again)
My Goal
To Eat Clean and get to my "Happy Weight" (click link to find your Happy Weight)
My Happy Weight based on this site is 127.6 lbs...so I am rounding that off to 128 lbs.
My weigh in this morning was 137.5 lbs (my scale is heavy by 1.5 lbs but I am going to list what it actually reports for this blog)
Therefore in the next 6 weeks I will lose 9.5 lbs!

No more stealing Halloween treats and I have definitely given up sugar! I am going to go "clean shopping" and visit our local "Honey Bee" store here in Portage la Prairie. Anyone else want to post their Goals for the next 6 Weeks?

Have a great day and eat clean and move your body! :)
