Monday posts have been earmarked for motivation, today's is really no different! Today's motivation comes in the form of a challenge...

Starting on April 6th, I am hosting a 7-Day Clean Eating challenge! My March challenge was SO successful, that I just HAD to do it again!! 

If you are anything like I was, you WANT to eat a clean diet, but aren't really sure where to start. I scoured the internet for any and EVERY idea on how to best implement a clean diet. There was so much information that I was, well...overwhelmed, to say the least. I began making small changes one month at a time, and am now in a place where I can honestly say I am ALMOST there!!

I'm ready to share what I have learned with you! My challenge group offers a place to learn the basics of clean eating, share recipes, ask questions, and feel the support of others who are in your same position! There are ONLY 10 spots available in the group, so secure your spot ASAP!

Food Prep and March Madness

I love Sunday. No, really...I LOVE Sunday. It's the day I do all my errands for the week, prepare (most) of my food, and relax with whatever is on the TV. This Sunday is especially exciting...my beloved Gonzaga Bulldogs are playing the the Elite 8 for the FIRST time since 1999, not only that, but they are playing Duke!! We are currently about an hour from tip off and I have been busy at work so I can fully enjoy the game!

I spent my morning yesterday planning and scheming for the week ahead. What to eat? What needs to be accomplished?

My hard work payed off and I finished the morning with a beautifully color-coded plan for the week and an equally color-coded grocery list!!

My trip to the grocery store this morning yielded ALL the veggies needed to complete my week (protein this week is coming from the freezer)! I am still amazed at all that I managed to prepare and how EASY it really was!

Check it out!! A little help from Pinterest for inspiration, and a week's worth of meals is ready to go! I'm telling you, this is the BEST way I have found to make sure that I am eating clean all week!!

I made my own Instant Oatmeal Packets. No chemical names I can't pronounce. Just REAL food! Find my inspiration here. I made the most SIMPLE and yummy Spinach Salads. Spinach + Red Onion + Hard Boiled Egg + Mushrooms + Annie's Balsamic Dressing. These salads will be perfect for lunch all week long! I also roasted 2 HUGE pans of mixed veggies. Easy and delicious addition to whichever protein I am in the mood for!! Find the recipe here. Last, but certainly not least, I threw together some Egg White Cups for my low-carb days. Recipe here.

All in all, today has been productive!! All that's left is to put tonight's dinner together (Baked Spaghetti) and relax and cheer for my Zags!
