I successfully made it through day one of clean eating. I also found two new products I absolutely love. The first is Silk Soy Milk. I had it on a bowl of cooked whole oats with a sprinkle of walnuts, and oh my goodness, I was in heaven.
The next product was this brown rice pasta:
The soy milk is probably nothing new to some of you, but to me it was and oh so yummy. I am going to go back and get the chocolate (not sure if it's clean, but I will read the ingredients and get back to you on that).
The brown rice pasta (found in the gluten-free isle at Wal-Mart) was quite good. Ben and Alex loved it with Ben asking, "Why don't you make this more often?"with me answering, "Well, Ben, I just made it up today!" I served it with carrots and chicken breast I simmered in the crock pot all day.
Now I'm not sure if it had to do with the clean eating, but my 9 mile run this morning felt amazing! I averaged under a 9 minute mile but the best part was I felt so good the whole time. I was holding out at first thinking I would get tired but by the last 2 miles I felt so good I was able to kick it up a notch. Could just be coincidence, but I'd like to think the eating made a difference. I just love The Gracious Pantry.com and have a list to go to the store to try some new recipes. I'll keep you posted!

How's the clean eating going by now? Have you been successful in giving up sugar? That's my addiction...
Now I am not the model of clean eating by any means (did someone say sugar? : ) but I can tell you that clean eating WILL make a difference in your running. You are what you eat, unfortunately (for me), is not just a cool saying. But that is why the week of a race I cut down on the sugar and bad stuff (I didn't say eliminate! ; ).
Oh, and Soy milk is absolutely good. I do prefer good ol' cow milk (skim only) but Soy milk is yummy.
i'm sure the eating had a lot to do with your run!! keep posting about this!! :)
oh, & i'm interested in how the chocolate soy milk was.
