My Road to Clean Eating

The road to clean eating is paved in blog posts. Okay, that’s probably not the case for everyone, but it’s true for me.

In December 2011, six weeks after I had my fourth (yes, fourth) baby, I wrote a post called “My Juvenile Eating Habits,” which chronicled the child-like attitude towards food I’d battled for a long time. Fellow blogger and writer Hallie Sawyer wrote such a generous and helpful comment about her drastically improved eating and exercise routine that I encouraged her to write about the experience on her blog.

I’m so glad she listened! In her piece, “Twelve Weeks to a Happier, Healthier, and Leaner Me,” Hallie described getting herself in shape before a trip to Hawaii. My goals were perhaps larger in scope (improve life-long abysmal eating habits), but my timeframe was pressure-free (as long as it takes). I figured if Hallie could see results in twelve weeks, then I could hope to see results before the end of time. Reasonable, right?

READ THE REST OF THIS POST AT HALLIE SAWYER’S BLOG where she was gracious enough to “host” me this week. If you love books, you’ll love Hallie’s blog where she’s constantly recommending new titles (especially historically fiction, which she also writes). See you there!
