Update, Inches, Weight Loss and Clean Eating

Its been two weeks now since I took a real focus in losing the weight I've regained. In that time I have also started Bootcamp and began a eating clean diet. Well not a 'diet' just a change in eating habits.

The clean eating is going well, once I was all up and going from Bootcamp with my free week (I am keeping it up now!) they sent me a nutrition plan  that stated all the things I could have and those that were banned. On that banned list was peanut butter (booo!), bread, pasta, caffeine, alcohol, sugar etc. The plan focuses around wholefoods and unfortunately a fair amount of meat so I have been having my protein powder and plenty of nuts and eggs to keep my protein up.

A typical day might go like this:
Breakfast: Porridge with berries and flaxseeds
Snack: Banana
Lunch: Quinoa and salad
Snack: Berries and nuts/seeds or veg sticks
Dinner: Vegi Biryani from the clean eating cookbook
Pud: Full fat natural yog and fruit

Caffeine was the hardest for me, one day I went without ANY caffeine including green tea and had the worst headache and I was super grouchy. So now I am just sticking to green tea as it has other health benefits such as fat metabolism.

Weight loss and inches
-1lb 1/4 this week making  total of 2lb 1/4 in total
Waist -0.5inch
Hips -1inch
Legs and arms stayed the same.
I think that's pretty good progress!

Running
I ran my best 4 mile time this morning 40:50. BOOM. So Proud!
I am trying to focus on taking my head out of my legs (which are now constantly aching after 2miles) and beginning to look at my surroundings. Today during my run I was focused on 'Run with your heart, not your head'. It really helped and gave me inspiration to run faster!

I am looking forward to next week with more bootcamp, running and eating clean!
