Did you accept the challenge?
I heard back from some of my friends and they said they were giving it a try! Whoo! I did my best to eat ONLY items that weren't processed... But I am a human (and a girl) so I slipped up more than once. I found that the days that I may have indulged were the days that I didn't plan my meals properly. FAIL TO PLAN - PLAN TO FAIL. This is just something that I try to keep in mind when I am tired and I don't want to pack any food and I just can't stand the thought of chopping something else or prepping some marinade, etc. The good news is, even with the slip ups I managed to lose 3lbs! Now, it's not my ultimate goal to drop weight, but let's be honest, there is a certain kind of thrill one gets when they look down at that scale number and it's smaller than it was 2 weeks ago. :) I did kick up my exercise routine so I know that helped, but I also noticed that I felt better during my workouts when I ate better!
I've been following some blogs and Instagram accounts of a few ladies who have this whole eating clean thing DOWN and they are super helpful as well. Here are the spectacular ladies that I follow:
http://getfitfeelsexy.blogspot.com/ This is Vevian's account and she is SO creative in the kitchen. I used the pictures from her Instagram account and her blog to help me do my meal planning for this week. (More details on the meal planning and calendar for the week later.)
http://powercakes.net/powercakes/ This is Kasey and I am SO inspired by her! She is SO fit and SO helpful. She is currently doing a #plantPOWER challenge during the month of October. Check here out for more details on how plants fuel our bodies with all of their yummy nutrients.
http://livelifeactive.com/ This is Erin and it was her blog that I found that AMAZING list of clean eating foods! She was currently featured in a fitness magazine! How cool is that?! She also posted a push-up challenge (that I shared via FB) that I am participating in. Erin is definitely one of the ladies that I look to for inspiration lately!
PLEASE go check out their pages! They have recipes and tips and they are just so wonderful I know that you will want to get up and move just from reading what they have to share. :)
Ps. I hope it's okay that I gave them this "shout-out" I don't really know if there are "blogging rules". Eek! (Crossing my fingers!)
