I still fluctuate a few pounds week to week, but I&#8217;m learning how to find balance. I&#8217;d love to get to the point where I can maintain a steady number on the scale instead of being so dictated by those ups and downs.<\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Even in my late 70s, I feel like I have so much energy thanks to eating clean. <\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3>I volunteer twice a week at my local elementary school and walk there so I get some extra exercise in as well. While my sleep and skin haven&#8217;t improved as much as I&#8217;d like, my favorite thing is that I&#8217;ve been able to enjoy holidays, birthdays, weekends, and trips without going off track.<\/h3>\n<h3>One of my favorite parts of CFC is having the daily meal plan totals. I post it on my fridge to stay on track for meal planning and prep. I also love bringing my own CFC-friendly food (BYOF) to parties and events. It keeps me accountable.<\/h3>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Earlier this year I even went to Hawaii and only gained 1 pound!<\/h2>\n<h3>In the past I&#8217;d gain 5+ pounds on a trip like that.<\/h3>\n<h3>The cleaning eating mindset helped me make good choices and not go crazy indulging like I used to.<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_47176\" style=\"width: 1546px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47176\" class=\"wp-image-47176 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/The-pics-are-from-our-recent-family-trip-to-Hawaii-in-the-spring.-After-doing-CFC-for-6-months-Bonnie-Update-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1536\" height=\"2048\" data-wp-pid=\"47176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/The-pics-are-from-our-recent-family-trip-to-Hawaii-in-the-spring.-After-doing-CFC-for-6-months-Bonnie-Update-scaled.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/The-pics-are-from-our-recent-family-trip-to-Hawaii-in-the-spring.-After-doing-CFC-for-6-months-Bonnie-Update-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/The-pics-are-from-our-recent-family-trip-to-Hawaii-in-the-spring.-After-doing-CFC-for-6-months-Bonnie-Update-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/The-pics-are-from-our-recent-family-trip-to-Hawaii-in-the-spring.-After-doing-CFC-for-6-months-Bonnie-Update-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/The-pics-are-from-our-recent-family-trip-to-Hawaii-in-the-spring.-After-doing-CFC-for-6-months-Bonnie-Update-800x1067.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/The-pics-are-from-our-recent-family-trip-to-Hawaii-in-the-spring.-After-doing-CFC-for-6-months-Bonnie-Update-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-47176\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>The pics are from our recent family trip to Hawaii in the spring. \u00a0After doing CFC for 6 months<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<h3>If you&#8217;re looking for community support and simple recipes to help you reach your goals, I can&#8217;t recommend the <a href=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodlove.com\/challenge\/\">30-day Clean Eating Challenge<\/a> enough.<\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Having the annual membership gives me accountability and structure to stay on track.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3>Rachel and the CFC team make it easy to stick to the plan with grocery lists, meal prep tips, and<strong> so much<\/strong> inspiration.<\/h3>\n<h3>I&#8217;m excited to keep this lifestyle going into my 80s next year! <a href=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodlove.com\/challenge\/\">Sign up today<\/a> and see how it can change your life too.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-34090\" src=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cfc-30-day-challenge-banner.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"675\" height=\"570\" data-wp-pid=\"34090\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cfc-30-day-challenge-banner.jpg 675w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cfc-30-day-challenge-banner-300x253.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cfc-30-day-challenge-banner-600x507.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Ready to Get the Tools and Support That Helped Bonnie Succeed?
