Back from my hiatus.

So it's been forever since I've posted, partly because things have been crazy and partly because I've been eating, well, dirty. That is the opposite of clean, right? So anyway, I was honestly going to quit the blogger thing because I'm not sure too many people actually read it and I was just in the "give up" mode anyway. But after feeling like crap for the last couple of weeks and deciding that this thang ain't over, I'm back. If nothing else, this blog allows me to just type away and vent about what I'm doing. A large part of my problem the last two weeks has started with planning...or should I say, the lack thereof. Clean eating really is pretty easy if you've planned ahead and prepared your food for the week. It's kind of a big task at first, but man is it nice when you can throw your meals and snacks in a cooler on any given day throughout the week without having to do any prep that day! We've been busy and I just hadn't made it to the store. And when you don't have clean foods to eat, well, you're up a creek! It seems like we were eating fast food often and salads can get old. After a while, those salty french fries and ice cold cokes sound really good. And when you've lost all motivation, it's basically over! Well, not over over, but over just for that moment. Except my moment lasted for several days. But again, I'm not going to dwell on that past and the fact that I've been eating junk. I went to the store today and got all kinds of goodies! I also made a trip to the whole foods store about 45 minutes from my house last week, thanks to my sister-in-law having her baby in the same town! How sweet of her, right?! =) I've got some mix to make some hummus which I'm looking forward to. I've also got some new recipes I'm going to try next week. And I'm going to attempt black bean brownies! So I'm pretty excited to get back into the game. Here goes nothing...
