Eating clean, what's that?

About two weeks ago I bought a juicer and a new blender to replace the old one I had broken (story for another time). Since I bought a juicer I figured I should buy a bunch of green leafy veggies, yummy fruits, and gross coconut water. I only bought a little bit! I really can't stand the stuff. By itself, that is.

Now I have a juicer and veggies and fruit. What to do, what to do?! OH! I know! Make delicious (most of the time) nutrient dense juice! And that is exactly what I have done almost every single day. I did skip one day because my calorie intake was over the daily amount allowed (story for another time).

I have dropped nearly 10 pounds and a condition I have been suffering with for the past year is mostly gone! The condition: Plantar Fasciitis, my calf muscles were really tight and would cause terrible pain in my heels. Walking was so painful, especially in the mornings and occasionally that pain would last all day long no matter how much I stretched or had my trainer use a foam log roll on my calves (not recommended if you have a low threshold for pain, I cried and cursed a little), but it would help ease the pain a little. I am not sure if the whole foods, clean eating, can really be the reason for the spontaneous cure of these tight muscles, but I honestly have not done anything else differently. Whole foods and fresh veggies are supposed to clear toxins from your body, heck, it's been proven to cure cancer. Maybe it is the reason my calves and heels don't hate me any more.

By the way, my "clean" dinner last night:

Brown rice, fresh cut green beans, left over Thanksgiving turkey, and a little bit of sharp cheddar (not a "clean" food, but I wanted it!), stuffed into a delicious acorn squash:
