The first day

Well hello everyone!

I hope everyone had an amazing night last night and everyone stayed safe!

As soon as it hit midnight I hit the sheets – I was sleeeeepy!

I was craving cereal this morning so I combined a bowl of cinnamon puffins, granola and almond milk.

J went down for a nap around 11:15 and I headed to the gym. They were only open until 2 today so I wanted to be sure I got a workout in.

I did a 3 mile run in 30 minutes, a 20 minute stationary bike hill ride and some ab work. See! I am finally incorporating some resistance into my cardio!

Marc was just bringing J down when I arrived back home and I quickly made him and I lunch – I was starving!

I know this looks gross but it good! I had some left over brown rice and steamed veggies from the other night and I reheated it. The reason it looks so “off” is because it was mostly cabbage – it was from a terriyaki shop and they really like to use cabbage I guess.

A yummy glass of Good Belly.

And a couple of clementines.

I was sweaty and FREEZING so off to the shower I went. I was still fairly hungry afterwards so I made a delicious bowl of yogurt.

It has been rainy and windy all day today. I was hoping that we would get a little snow but no dice. Boo.

After J’s dinner, he and Marc were cuddling on the couch and I just had to snap these pictures! They were sharing ice cream =)

AAWWWWWW!!!!! 😉

My dinner was pretty much awesome!

I took some canned black beans and steamed sweet potatoes, combined them with some taco seasoning then put it on top of a bed of Romaine. I topped it with avocado, onion, tomato, salsa and hot sauce and viola!

Then there was some peppermint ice cream – love it. Did you know that I have had this half gallon for more than 2 months!? Ya, I can’t believe it either! This has to be one of my favorite ice cream flavors and I let myself buy one half gallon every holiday season. I guess I ration it so it will last cause I am always sad once it’s gone. =(

Sorry everyone – I had a pretty boring day but it was a good day. But I am watching The Biggest Loser and I keep crying – I am such a sap!

Hello, and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I started The Clean Eating Mama back in 2008 as a place to share my love of wholesome food and healthy living. Over the years, this little corner of the internet has grown and changed right along with me.

Here you’ll find simple, nourishing recipes, thoughts on clean eating and wellness, and little pieces of my everyday life. In many ways, this blog has become a personal diary of sorts. This is a place where I can share what I’m cooking, what I’m learning, what I’m loving, and where life happens to be taking me.

Healthy living doesn’t have to be perfect or complicated. For me, it’s about making choices that help us feel our best, enjoying good food, and continuing to learn and grow along the way.

So grab a cup of coffee or tea, stay awhile, and welcome to The Clean Eating Mama. Read full bio.
