Day 1

A couple of weeks ago I decided to try the Eat-Clean Diet. I bought the book and the cookbook. I went to Henry's and bought a bunch of healthy items, like flax seed, steel cut oats, wheat germ, brown rice, quinoa, bulgur, millet, etc...

Today is officially day 1. I have made some of the recipes before, but today is the day that I am actually going to start following the plan.

It suggests you eat your first meal at 7am. You should first drink 16oz of water and then eat. Last night, I made Crock-Pot Porridge from the cookbook. It was ready for us when we woke up. The smell and the look was not very appetizing, so I added brown sugar for the kids. I added a little bit of honey to mine, but I can't remember if that is a clean eating food or not. I think it is in small amounts and only if it is pure honey or something like that.

I was drinking my water and trying to eat my 1/2 cup of porridge, and I just couldn't get it down. I ate maybe 3 or 4 bites and started gagging. I tried drinking some water, but it didn't help. I thought I was going to throw up! I ran to the garbage and spit it out, but was still gagging. I sat down to finish my water and I & J told me that I had porridge in my water. There were huge chunks. I couldn't figure out if they were from L sharing my water or from me gagging into it.

Great start to day 1!
