Meet Renee, Who Lost 31 Pounds + Feels Happier, Healthier and More Energetic!<\/h1>\n

Hello! My name is Renee. I\u2019m married to my husband of 15 years and together we have a teenage son. I am really big on self-care partly because of my work (behavioral\/mental health therapist), but also because we need and deserve it! I enjoy being outside in the sunshine, love the beach, enjoy reading, and recently in the past few years have learned that I love to run. I love animals of any kind and have a beagle, who gets himself into trouble a bit, and two cats.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

I Started the Challenge Impulsively in August 2022<\/strong>.<\/span><\/h2>\n

That decision was a result of negative thoughts about my weight, feeling unhealthy, and seeing the Facebook post for the 30-Day Clean Eating Challenge<\/a><\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Some of my greatest obstacles to clean eating in the past would have been sugar cravings, feeling tired and eating poorly to energize myself, and I\u2019m not fond of cooking<\/strong>. <\/span>I started week one in August and stuck to it pretty rigidly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"That’s me on the right, March of 2022, with my family, before the Challenge.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I noticed a significant improvement in my energy towards the end of that first week<\/strong>. I was a believer from that point on, went on to week two and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve found that sticking to week one closely even as I move to week 2+ has been super helpful.<\/strong> I try to eat as much simple stuff (raw veggies, almonds, salads, etc) as I can. But I also have an amazing family that does a lot of meal prep and cooking for me, thank goodness! My husband, pretty consistently, makes me egg\/spinach breakfasts and salads to go for lunch. \u2764\ufe0f<\/span><\/p>\n

For the first time in my adult life, I made it through the holiday season in 2022 without packing on pounds…<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

I also maintained my weight loss, and didn\u2019t make my typical New Year\u2019s Resolution of \u201closing weight\u201d or \u201ceat better.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

My New Year\u2019s Resolution for 2023 were personal goals of reading 20 books, running 700 miles for the year, and to continue my training to be ready to run a full marathon by the end of 2023. <\/span><\/p>\n

It feels amazing to be committed to CleanFoodCrush and be able to have entirely different resolutions for this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"After the Challenge – With My Family<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve Lost 31 Pounds Since August 2022.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u27a1\ufe0fI feel so much healthier.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u27a1\ufe0fI feel so much happier.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u27a1\ufe0fI feel so much more energetic. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Part of me wishes I would have found and followed this program so much sooner. <\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I just want to add, I didn\u2019t think I could stick with anything to change my eating as I had tried so many times and was unsuccessful each and every time.<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

I think three things helped here with Clean Food Crush: 1) The <\/span>30-Day Challenge<\/span><\/a> has everything you need written out 2) The <\/span>30-Day Challenge<\/span><\/a> has a wealth of supporters and resources 3) The <\/span>30-Day Challenge<\/span><\/a> isn\u2019t some fad diet that\u2019s hard to stick with.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If I can do it, you can do it too!!<\/strong><\/h3>\n
