After a week of clean eating, I decided to treat ourselves to clean eating Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. I quickly looked at the recipe and thought I already had everything. When it came time to start making it, I realized I didn't have sucanat. I used to only buy sucanat for my coffee--but I ran out and I didn't realize it. I quickly looked up online about substituting it and was overwhelmed with the amount of information, so I just decided to REALLY treat ourselves and use regular sugar instead. The cookies were good, but they fell apart easily. Overall, they were more healthy then regular Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, but John and I IMMEDIATLY started to feel like crap.
I will say this past week I have felt so amazing. I have had so much energy and even dispite being sick, I have been so productive. I will post about it later--but John and I ran in an 8k on Sunday and I will say, I could have ran a 12K because I felt so great during and after the run! Anyway, it's amazing what those two cookies did to me--I felt so bad after eating those cookies and even this morning I was in a terrible mood. Mentally and physically eating clean has a huge effect on you.
So the good news is that I can start all over today. It will probably be a day or two before we start to feel better, but we are going to continue to eat great!
As a side note, I have found out how much I really love to cook! I enjoy it so much now.
