clean eating.

a lot of people have very different definitions of clean eating. but my definition is eating nutritious, healthy food the majority of the time - food that makes me feel good inside and out. 

to say the past few weeks have been filled with treats and sugar is quite the understatement! with graduation and all, it was expected. however, once i start eating lots of sugar - that's what i crave. frozen yogurt, cookies, candy, cake, ice cream, and the like have been every day occurrences around here. i'm not saying that it's not a good idea to have these every once in awhile, but every day is a bit excessive. 

 the past couple of days i've been really trying to focus on eating lots of nutrient-dense foods that are yummy and filling to kick these sugar cravings in the butt! (there was that froyo yesterday, but hey, we're still making progress!) i've also noticed that since i've been focusing on cutting out the crap food and eating {my definition of} clean, my workouts have been SO much better! higher quality fuel = higher quality workouts. 

some of the latest eats:

{salad with hummus, a dr praegers california burger, and an egg}

{whole wheat toast with crunchy almond butter}

{roasted cauliflower, zucchini, and mushrooms, topped with feta cheese and sesame ginger vinaigrette}

{fresh strawberries - so good right now!}

{wholewheat pasta with steamed spinach, TJ's steamed lentils, and goat cheese}

{carrots with white bean and basil hummus}

{more TJ's steamed lentils with goat cheese, roasted broccoli} 

{more toast with almond butter and apple butter, coffee with almond milk}

{a big green smoothie with a side of granola}

{protein pancakes: 2T oat bran, 2T protein powder, 2T kodiak cakes mix, 1/4 cup egg substitute. topped with almond butter and apple butter}

{kashi golean original and golean cinnamon crisp with strawberries and blueberries}

{romaine, carrots, cucumbers, mushrooms, deli turkey, slivered almonds, and sesame ginger dressing}

i'd say that the eating clean (or at least my definition of it) has been going quite well!! :)
