Today was not a "Clean" day! Just one day into the Food Elimination phase, in preparation for the Big Cleanse, and I ate excluded foods. I was out all day and had not prepared, which is my biggest challenge and most needed change. I will not succeed now, or ever, if I don’t prepare meals in advance. The good news is, I went out for breakfast at a place where I love the scones and I did not have one. I had oatmeal. I’ve never ordered oatmeal in my life. It was the most healthy looking item on the menu, even though it was not part of the Elimination Diet. So I guess the process is working. Having read the book "Clean," I know why I ( we all) need to eat better quality food. Choosing oatmeal was a much better choice than one I would have made before reading the book, and a downright good choice if I weren’t preparing for the Clean Program.. So today I had a bad day following the plan. Tomorrow is another day. And no matter how long it takes, I will succeed.
