Fit In Feb Challenge



 
With spring break less than a month away and summer just around the corner, earlier this month I decided to sit down and write out a plan for myself that incorporated juicing and clean eating.  It’s a lot easier for me to stick to a plan when I have it written out and I’m not guessing what to eat next.  I printed this plan out and I have a copy of it hanging everywhere… my fridge, my office, and my car.  Having that constant reminder of my goals and my plan is what keeps me on track. 

This plan is something I wrote and designed for myself.  I didn’t have it approved by a dietitian or anything… I just combined personal experience with what I have learned from my personal trainers over the past 5 or so years. 

It’s challenging but it works :) I have no issues when it comes to replacing meals with juice.  I don’t feel deprived or feel like I am low on energy… I actually feel the complete opposite! I feel full, satisfied, and energized!

Here are a few examples of the clean recipes I have posted... for more food items to incorporate into this diet, check out my non-juicing blog.

Breakfast Burrito
 Bake or microwave spaghetti squash.  Make sure you cut or poke holes in it before heating it up!
 After scraping out the seeds, scrape out the squash and throw it on a hot pan with olive oil or non-stick spray.  Cook until crispy like hash browns. (So yummy)
 Heat up your tortilla and add your ingredients!
Wrap it up and it's ready to go! 
 I dipped mine in red chili :)


If you want to get real fancy you can add feta cheese and turkey bacon!



 These are my favorite nuts to snack on!


These bars are the BEST bars out there in my opinion! It's all about minimal ingredients and all natural foods.  These babies have such few ingredients, it's AMAZING! Most protein bars are loaded with chemicals... just compare labels next time you are at the store.  If there are more than 10 ingredients.. it's probably not great for you.  ALT is the best brand!



*** JUST A FRIENDLY REMINDER***

If you fall off your diet, don't give up! 90% is still an A! Don't turn a moment of weakness into a cheat day or a cheat week... just enjoy that piece of chocolate and get right back on track with your day :)
