Good Morning All!
Today is day 2 of my 30 day challenge. I have always felt like I've maintained a pretty healthy lifestyle but lately I've felt like I've been eating too much crap and not working out as much as I'd like (as you may have seen with my failed detox cleanse). I've been inspired by a Pinterest blog where this mother of 2 went on a 10 week transformation from after having her second child to competing in a fitness show. I am not looking to go to that extreme nor am I trying to lose baby weight but my principle was the same as hers - eat clean and gain some definition in my body. I mean really how does that not motivate you!

I DO NOT recommend this plan to ANYWAY but merely letting you know what I'm going to do as I've read through her blog as well as various other fitness/nutrition information.
Guidelines:
1. Eat Clean - no packaged food - no sugar - no diary - lean meats - vegetables - fruits - low sodium
2. Exercise 5 times a week - cardio (30-45 min) - weights
3. Update blog weekly with picture ... (yikes)
So I thought I would just dive in instead of trying to explain each of my steps.
Monday : Cardio - 20 min elliptical / 10 treadmill
Weights : Legs - 20 mins (machines/deadlifts/tracy anderson moves) Abs - 10 min ab app
Meals:
Breakfast : Protein Smoothie : 1 Cup Almond Vanilla Unsweetened Milk / 1 Scoop Vanilla Protein Powder / 1 Cup Frozen Mangos
Green Tea with Lemon Slices
Snack: 1/8 Cup of Almonds
Lunch: 1 Cup Brown Rice / 1/2 Cup Garbanzo Beans / 2/3 Cup Mixed Vegetables (Frozen Carrots, Peas, Corn, Lima Beans ) added dashses of sriracha for flavor
Snack: 2 Egg Whites + 1 Egg / Salsa / Banana
Dinner: 1 Can White Tuna in Water mixed with Dijon Mustard / Spinach / Dried Cranberries
I ate often to keep my appetite and cravings at bay and also to keep my metabolism moving - helps a lot with burning fat. Also I'm excited to share the salad dressing I made. I LOVE making things from scratch but always get stuck on dressings. This one was easier, healthy, and tasty!

Drizzle on salads or vegetables...anything you like! Keep refrigerated and use within a week. You can also make this without the flax oil and it will last about a month

My meals the rest of the week will pretty much be the same but I have a girlfriend date tonight and also some catered office lunches that will be interesting to conquer. I'll keep you updated! Wish me luck!
