not gonna lie.. pretty hungry! I must be eating too little and since I cant afford more protein.. (yay food budget : ( I guess I will have to bump up the carbs. Balancing a diet is tricky! I'm adding in soy milk and I may have to add cheese back in but I'm not sure that's really clean.. plus cheese is such a trigger food for me.

Didn't get a workout in either.. got all the way to the gym and changed.. only to find i did not have my shoes with me! Boo... and I was really looking forward to my walk.. I'll get it in tomorrow and will also figure out the balance of this diet soon. Going away for NewYearsEve..will do the best I can and not beat myself up... It's just one day.. and one day of a whole week of good shouldn't be too horrible.

you might feel a bit hungry for a few days until You adjust, also try brown rice instead of couscous....a bit more filling :). Cook a whole bunch of it on Sunday and that way its more convienient for the rest of the week, also try putting in a few nuts once a day like Almonds...my dh lost 50lbs on this way of eating, he also ate alot of egg whites a tuna!For me I just started today and I am ...lets just say adjusting :)
Wow, you did extraordinary with protein! I'm impressed!
HI! here via Katschi and the eat clean challenge! Looks like you are doing great. But like you - there is no way that I would survive (currently) on 1,500 a day!
I've been looking at some low GI foods/recipies. Lots of sweet potato/beans and that sort of thing. They fill you up and are "clean".
The other thing that I like to do, but haven't done in a while is hard boil a bunch of eggs and eat one of those suckers in the morning. With or without the yoke.
I'll be back to check on you as we get further in on this! Cheers
