Eating Clean and Foot Issues

Yesterday was pretty successful as far as eating clean goes. My only complaint was I believe I had too much protein powder...it was in just about every thing I had, so today I'm going to make sure I don't have it as often. I'm not trying to gain weight.
Morning Start: Oatmeal - blueberries, 1/2 banana, 1 scoop protein powder (I never put it in my oatmeal, but I came across a recipe and figured why not - it was good!)
Midmorning Booster: 3 oz chicken, 4 oz sweet potato, mixed veggies
Lunchtime Refuel: 4 pumpkin protein bars (more protein powder here. These aren't 100% clean either since all I had in the cupboard was organic cane sugar. I'll get the xylitol stuff next payday).
Midafternoon Munch: Banana, blueberry protein pancakes (yep, another scoop of protein powder. I got these from livefitjourney - they were AMAZING! and so simple to make).
Dinner Delight: 1 egg, 3 egg whites, spinach and tomatoes; 4 pieces of turkey bacon (not sure if turkey bacon is considered clean or not, but again I have it in the fridge and it needs to be eaten. I did Google it and found a recipe on Tosca's eat clean site that had turkey bacon in it, so I don't know...maybe).
Before Bed if Hungry: greek yogurt, honey, pumpkin, granola. (I was super hungry last night but this did the trick).

Overall I think I did pretty well. I stepped on the scale this morning and I'm down 2 pounds since Sunday. Woo-hoo!! It's probably the creamer. LOL
I went for a 3 mile training run yesterday and it was so cold outside! Took me about half a mile to get used to the cold air, and then by mile 2 I realized I wore too many layers. UGH! Its so hard to dress right this time of year. I got home and took off my running shoes and then hobbled around the house. Uh-oh. Not good. My left foot is acting up again. It hasn't bothered me in over a year (pretty much since I got the cortisone shot). Looks like it's time to invest in a plantar fascitiis type foot wear and compression socks. I was hobbling again this morning. Last time around it hurt in my heal, this time it's the pad of my foot below my toes. Not cool. I've got a 5 mile run scheduled tomorrow and 2.5 on Sunday. I might take it easy and run/walk those miles.

  1. Oh no!! I hope your foot feels better quickly! That is my fear with starting back up, I certainly don't want it to return.
