Well, week 2 is over of my 1 month clean eating challenge, and I'm happy to report that I didn't have any cheat days this week and this whole process is becoming easier as I go. I struggled at first. Not because I had cravings for unhealthy food, but because coming up with meal ideas was exhausting to me. Anything I thought of that I would have liked to have, it had something processed in it. The meal ideas are coming easier, but that's not to say that they're easy…yet! I still struggle to find what to eat for lunch…and it seems I kind of stick to two basic breakfasts as well. But the internet is completely filled with recipes and other fitness and health fanatics that I'm bound to come across some new ideas soon.

End of the week results:
Weight lost: 2lbs
Inches lost: .75
Looking at my results from last week, the weight loss is pretty steady and a 2 lb. per week weight loss is a healthy one. But the inches lost were very small. I expected the inches lost to be very minimal because I haven't worked out. Eating can only do so much for your body. A healthy balance of eating and working out is what's going to jump start my body transformation.
I'm very excited to see the end results for the next two weeks as I'm going to be incorporating a vigorous workout routine on top of my clean eating. And I'll also be upping my calorie intake as well. So keep a look out for that!
