Junk Free June is a great cause, raising money for the Cancer Society and helping me eat healthier and make wiser choices when it comes to food. The first week didn't go as planned. I thought that I would be feeling great, happy and healthy but this is not the case. I feel sluggish and as if I have less energy.

This may be to do with the fact that it is a bit of a drastic change in my diet and my body is not used to eating this healthy.
I really did have to push through by the end of the week as I was starting to crave sugar and some foods that I didn't know had sugar in them that I really wanted. In all this has really helped me to pay more attention to the food that I eat and what they could be doing to my body.
This week I have decided to start doing a little bit of exercise as well, to see if this will help me gain energy. As well as being a perfect time to start a health kick.
But as for the way that my body is responding to eating healthier, I am pleased to report that in a week I have lost 2kg. Something that I have been struggling with for a while. So that makes it a lot easier to head into week 2 of Junk Free June.

How do you stay healthy? Are you doing Junk Free June? Have you done something similar?
Congrats! I've been trying to eat better too and it is hard! Keep it up :)
