Eat Clean Diet - Cooler Plan #1 - Day 1

Today is day 1! Woot! I woke up super excited to get downstairs and get cooking on my breakfast eggs and oatmeal. I had to tweak my plan slightly when the twins woke up a bit earlier than expected and I was helping them on the potty as my oatmeal slightly overcooked. I went with it anyway and added about a half a cup of egg whites to it and dug in side by side a 32 oz bottle of water plus lemon. So far so good. I feel amazing this morning.

I'm off for a doctors appointment and will be packing my snack to eat just afterwards. I've got this. I know it. :)

Update: It's 4pm here and I wanted to provide a quick report on how things are going. I'm seriously LOVING day 1. I am feeling full, satisfied, and wonderful. Here's how my menu plan is actually going down:

	Lean Protein	Complex Carb (Veg)	Complex Carb (fruit)	Complex Carb (whole grain/ starchy carbos)	Starchy Complex Carb Pairing	Sweet Potato	Water	Notes
	1 palm sized portion eaten 5 times each day of chicken, tuna, egg whites, turkey, bison, elk, or non-oily fish. Shakeology can be a sub.	2 cupped handfuls eaten four times per day of cucumbers, radishes, tomatoes, leafy greens, broccoli, spinach, asparagus, green beans, sprouts, celery, bok choy, or other high water content, non starchy, low glycemic index veggies	1 apple or pear per day (1/2 in the morning and 1/2 in the afternoon or evening)	1 handful per day of cooked quinoa, brown rice, oatmeal, millet or cream of wheat	2 to 4 tbs of ground flaxseed & 2 tbs of bee pollen	1 hand sized sweet potato or yam serving per day (1/2 in the morning and 1/2 in the afternoon or evening)	1 gallon a day OR unsweetened hearbal tea

The coloring is serving as my checklist and I am changing the colors as I eat. I've also added in some notes and can I say the shakeology recipe was WONDERFUL!

I'll have dinner about 6pm and then close the kitchen down.
