Clean Eating Day 5

It was a quiet week, as my husband was at the farm, helping with harvest. Usually on weeks like this, my face would be at the bottom of a Doritos bag, wolfing down anything and everything I could get my taste buds on. It just gets so quiet when he's not around. This week was a little different though.

On Wednesday, I began changing the way I usually eat – 'clean eating' is the buzz phrase I guess. I've even set the alarm on my watch so I don't forget to eat at each of the golden 3-hour marks. So far it hasn't been so bad. What has really surprised me when I look back at the week, is how little I've eaten each day – without feeling hungry. Don't know if it has made a difference to my waistline yet, but time will tell.

As far as the effect on my creativity and energy, I had an incredibly productive Wed, Thurs and Friday. I'm currently designing and illustrating a new pregnancy planner by Dr. Melanie Beingessner – check her wonderful website out at www.drmelaniebee.org. I've done a large number of wonderful 'doodly' illustrations for it, so it's been great fun to work on. We are all excited to see the final result once the printers work their magic on it.

Will touch base with you early next week and let you know if I've landed in an Oreo bag or not. Wish me luck.

Stay healthy, everyone.
