Meet Amanda, Who Lost 7.3 Pounds and 14.5 Inches During The CleanFoodCrush 30 Day Clean Eating Challenge!
Hi there crushers!ย My name is Amanda.ย I am 43 years young and am blessed with the most amazing husband a girl could ask for and 3 awesome children.ย I work in the mortgage industry as a Loan Officer Assistant and have a very sedentary job as I am at a desk all day long.ย ย
I enjoy being with my family and our friends as much as we can.ย I also enjoy spending my time watching each one of my kids as they play the sports they love.ย ย
I have a daughter in high school that plays soccer, powerlifts, volleyball and runs track.ย I have an 11 year old son that plays, football, baseball, basketball and runs track.ย My youngestโฆ.well he just likes basketball.ย So needless to say, Iโm on the go a LOT.ย ย
We spent so much time eating out because we were either at a field or a gym watching one of the kids playing something that cooking just didnโt work.ย Now I use my Sunday afternoon to prepare my meals for the week so thereโs no fast food temptation. I will even take a meal prepped meal with me to places where my husband wants to eat sometimes.
The clean eating challenge has helped me in so many ways.ย My husband and I have been together around 13 years.ย Heโs never experienced me fully happy with how I look and has seen a million different diets that I get on and then change courses on.ย ย
I have always thought veggies were ok, but never had a love for them.ย This program has changed that!ย ย
My husband has begun to see a new me, a happier and a more confident me.ย Heโs referred to this as a diet many times (why wouldnโt he with all of the diets Iโve done in the past) but I have corrected him that this isnโt a diet itโs just eating clean and itโs something I am not going to veer from.ย ย
- I am no longer interested in eating sugar, fast food or box food.ย ย
- I am fitting back into clothes that I couldnโt fit in for a long time and itโs such a great feeling.
- I have lost a few pounds (7.3) since starting this challenge
- Iโm no longer swollen from eating junk food,ย
- My rings fit better,ย
- My clothes fit better.ย ย
- I have lost a total of 14.5 inches and 4.5 of that from my stomach
The BEST THINGโฆ This wasn’t something I had to suffer through because I am LOVING what Iโm eating.
I am pretty much the only one in my house doing this so it can be a little tough.ย I will watch as they will eat donuts on the weekends or other things that I want to stay away from.ย But when I make a meal for them, I at least know theyโre getting something clean and healthy.ย ย
For the ones on the fenceโฆ.get in the yard and have some fun with all of us Crushers.ย You get a WONDERFUL support system through the CFC Admins and also with your fellow crushers.ย Itโs the best ever.ย ย
My words of advice to those taking that leap of faithโฆ.get a food scale, take measurements, TAKE BEFORE PICTURES, donโt worry about that blasted scale.ย It doesnโt paint you a whole picture and it can be a discouragement.ย Weigh once a week but donโt put too much thought into what it says.ย Donโt forget your “why”.ย Why are you doing this?ย Make sure nothing is stronger than your why.
