Eat clean principles..

My fridge has become a wall of motivation!! I have also put up a Nike Ad that has somebody tying up her laces ready to run as well as a few people running on the track etc. It's all in black and white and in huge letters (lime green to boot) are the words "Destroy Yesterday" .... for me it just felt so true .. it was not only a motivator as I'm going to running this 5k again ... but also as a reminder that even if yesterday is bad we can destroy it .. we can overcome ... and I can destory and overcome yesterday's unhealthy choices .. or my "yesterday" body and lifestyle that I want to change.

I love motivational quotes etc. like these...

I have to thank Cathy for these below. It sums up the eat clean lifestyle I'm trying to adapt. I recommend it to anybody as it's fairly straight forward and it works!

THE EAT CLEAN DIET PRINCIPLES
1. Eat more! Eat six small meals each day, spaced at two and half to three hour intervals.

2. Eat breakfast every day, within one hour of rising.

3. Make your last meal three hours before bed.

4. Eat a combination of lean protein and complex carbohydrates at each meal.

5. Eat sufficient healthy fats each day.

6. Drink two to three litres of water each day.

7. Carry a cooler packed with clean foods each day.

8. Depend on fresh fruit and vegetables or fibre, vitamins, nutrients and enzymes.

9. Adhere to proper portion sizes.

10. Eat only foods that hve not been overly processed or doused in chemicals, saturated and trans fats and/or toxins.

because I'm a visual learner .. I have created a picture form of this. I currently have it on the background of my computer!
