In the spirit of Nutrition Month, I am about to embark on a 30 Day Nutrition Challenge. You see, when it comes to Chick Tips, I can talk the talk, but I am having a hard time walking the walk.<\/p>\n<p>For the next 30 days (starting Monday of course!) I am going to be accountable to all you Chicks out there. I will be logging my daily meals, doing some video blogs and hopefully giving you all some encouragement and ideas too.<\/p>\n<p>So, what am I going to be eating?<\/p>\n<p>Well first off, I HATE counting calories. As soon as I try, I actually become obsessive which leads me to eating MORE! I know that doesn&#8217;t work for me, so instead I am eliminating certain foods for a month and am going to eat reasonable, satisfying portions of natural foods.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s my plan:<\/p>\n<p><em>Eliminate sugar AND artificial sugars<br \/>\nEliminate caffeine and alcohol<br \/>\nEliminate dairy<br \/>\nEliminate gluten<br \/>\nEliminate all processed and packaged foods<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s left for me to eat? I&#8217;ll be eating<\/p>\n<p><em>Tons of veggies, especially greens!<br \/>\nFruit<br \/>\nMeat, Poultry and Fish<br \/>\nEggs<br \/>\nNuts and seeds (limited amounts!)<br \/>\nHealthy Fats<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You Chicks may think this sounds extreme, but just so you know, I am<br \/>\nnot saying you all have to give up these foods, as some are healthy and others are ok in moderation.<\/p>\n<p>For me, I haven&#8217;t had dairy for a few months, and gluten containing foods make me feel bloated and blah. Also, some foods trigger me to eat more, like I can&#8217;t just have one glass of wine, or a handful of nuts. I tried limiting my caffeine intake to one cup of tea per day&#8230;.that soon stretched to 10! And no, I am not kidding! So for an all or nothing Chick like me, avoidance is best.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, tomorrow is Day One. I will be taking measurements and stats &#8211; although I may not make those public just yet!<\/p>\n<p>I am a little nervous about putting it all out there, but I need a kick in the butt!<\/p>\n<p>I will talk to you, Chicks tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Sis \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>ps I did have a last meal tonight consisting of a half pound bag of m&#038;m&#8217;s!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey Chicks!!
