Day 7: Clean & Lean

It's amazing how a huge bunch of chard will cook down into maybe 1-2 servings.

Day 7 means you are about to complete your entire first week! Do a check-in with yourself today. If you've been playing the game by the rules, then you haven't had fruit for 7 days, not to mention any other types of sugar.  Holy Moly... did you think you could do it?  Being a sugar addict myself, I have cleaned up my diet before, only to the spend the entire time munching down a ton of fruit, … [Read more...]

Day 6: Clean & Lean

Beautiful pic of one of my favorite veggies... Kale (My former 20 yr-old self can't believe I just said that!  I used to be a fast-food junkie and the only veggies I ate were french fries!  I've come a loooong way.

I can't believe I made it through my 1st weekend and already into day 6! Whooo  Hoooo! Although my food choices are very similar each day, I'm sure I'll be getting very bored very soon. Meal #1: Very Typical.  2 Eggs, avocado, chicken sausage.

Day 4: Clean & Lean

It's only 10 minutes of work, but holy crap is it hard!

Today was probably the hardest day and a good reason to have not started this program until AFTER the weekend! But, I will use today as a great example of how LIFE WILL ALWAYS HAPPEN.  You get to choose how to show up. So, I did my first ever crossfit competition today.  Normally, in the midst of being nervous, I would have probably had oatmeal loaded with sugar for breakfast, and I … [Read more...]

Day 3: Clean & Lean

Left over Salmon with 2 big servings of veggies from the Meal Movement.  This really did the trick this week since I was unprepared and didnt' hit the g-store yet!

Helllloooo Day 3!!! Yesterday was a little rough for me.  With a mile headache and a little brain-fog, I definitely wasn't performing at 100%.  I go through "dairy kicks" where I'll look at my diet and realize that I am consuming dairy every day.  Then, I'll go through periods of time where it's just never in the house and I go without most of the time. For the past year, I have noticed … [Read more...]

Day 2: Clean & Lean

The post-workout plan while going paleo

Okay... today was a bit harder than yesterday.  I was a  little brain-fogged-out all day and definitely messed up my food timing a bit.....but overall, I'm completely impressed with my ability to stay on track. Before I keep going with Day 2, I want to make sure you check out the resource I've found for you for creating different "Cave Wo(man)" meals in LESS THAN A MINUTE!  This site, I … [Read more...]
