Clean Eating...so I wash my food??

Look at the calories wash away!!

Alright. I've started with the research phase of my weight loss. It's quite obvious to me that skinny people take the time to sit in front of their computer and Google ways to find out how to get skinny. I'm on my way! I recently started following this fitness model on fb. Her name is Kelsey Byers and she used to be fat and now she's a banging fitness model. Even her before pictures are skinnier than I am...fml. Anypoop, she has a blog and talks a lot about clean eating. I had a blonde moment and assumed that I was fat because I wasn't cleaning my food properly. Judge me all you want, but I was pretty pumped that I could merely wash the calories off my food. I was wrong. You eat complex carbs, (uh ok?) lean protein, and healthy fat (pfft...like they exist) Okay, so in fat girl language that means nothing. So with a little further Google action, I think I've got this figured out. Lean meats are no problem, I really only like chicken and turkey anyway. Also, I've switched our ground beef to ground turkey since all that crazy E Coli stuff has been happening. The kids don't notice the difference and it's better for them. I always thought that carbs=bad so I figured you should avoid them, which obviously I have not. Upon further reading, it's actually not rocket science as to the good carbs and bad carbs. Brown rice, sweet potatoes, oatmeal not too bad. So this week's menu planning and grocery shopping should be an adventure. Lots of meat and veggies. The one and only thing I remember from school, is that you should shop along the outside of the grocery store because everything processed and delicious is on the inside aisles. So eff you inside aisles!!
My gym membership starts back up November 1st. So now I need to figure out how I'm gonna go there and not look like a dumb ass. When I go, I feel like people are silently making fun of me. I always have the "I just had a baby" excuse ready if need be. With Carter almost 7 months old, I'm not sure how much longer I can use that excuse. And now I Google....
