Had my Hot Lemon Water, Super Smoothie and this wonderful ‘Toxin Cleanse’ Green juice from Nektar….a little gingery for my taste, but otherwise good! I wish we had Nektar where I live!

Lunch

So tired from such an early work day grabbed a Togo’s veggie sandwich today. Only ate half and I was stuffed!

Workout 

Nikki Sharp’s Day 4-switched this day up with Day 2 and did a very LONG session of HIIT at the gym. It was awesome and my legs felt like jello.

Dinner

Had a bagel and then took a nap before heading to the gym, when I got home I was exhausted had my skinny me cleanse tea and went to bed.

Thought you all might want to see my wheatgrass progress, very excited to grow my own and looking forward to cutting and juicing.

Toxic Health Challenge: Day 17-Eat Organic

Posted on by

It’s as simple as that, eat clean and eat organic. Organic produce is not filled with pesticides and chemicals and is grown clean. If you can buy locally that is even better. Support local farmers, big business is slowly killing off local farmers and it just isn’t right. People always say to me that eating organic is too expensive, I always tell them that it’s worth it to spend a little more now than to spend that money on medical bills later in life! Plus let’s be honest apples to apples organic is really not THAT much more expensive. I did price comparisons a few months back and I spend about $0.75-$1.00 more per item for organic. I say it’s worth it.

The Wonderful Benefits of Chlorophyll

Posted on by

My new obsession: Chlorophyll

We all know it as the ‘green from plants’ but I bet you didn’t have any idea it would actually be good for you. It is found in wheatgrass, of course, so you wheatgrass fanatics like myself can rest assured, you are getting it from that, but I am thinking about incorporating more of it into my diet. In liquid form, need to do a little bit more research on whether or not you can ingest too much Chlorophyll, I don’t wanna ‘OD’ on Chlorophyll. 🙂

The benefits are just so amazing, I can’t get enough.

Workout

Nikkis-5-Day-Workout-Plan

So I started this 5-Day Workout Plan, by Nikki Sharp @staysharpbestrong | IG Day 1 kicked my butt, like for real, I was seriously exhausted, but I feel stronger today and I know this plan is gonna be great for me. I am actually looking forward to tonight (Day 2) it’s gonna be a kicker! If you are looking for a good kick in the butt go buy this Digital Book, it has amazing tips and info, it is so worth the $8.00, which is practically nothing anyways. Do it.

Dinner

Okay so I am so excited about my dinner tonight. I get so bored with my usual Vegan dishes I was desperate for a change. I have always loved mushrooms and I never eat them so I bought a big pack the other day and last night I finally threw an impromptu dish together. I was very easy, I cut up my mushrooms, put some rice oil, onion and garlic in a pan let it sizzle a bit and then threw in my mushrooms, browned them and then threw them over a bed of noodles, added a little salt an WahhhhLaaahhhh! The best meal I have had in a very long time, easy, filling and plain yummy. Oh and of course my artichokes dipped in lemon, garlic and olive oil. Oh my, I think I might have the same thing again tonight.

Goodnight Beautiful World.

Toxic Health Knowledge: Day 1 – Aspartame

Posted on by
Standard

You know me and challenges! I love them!

I started an Instagram challenge yesterday, it’s not so much a challenge…I guess…it’s more of a platform of knowledge and I encourage feedback. Let’s get talking people! What you do not know could hurt you. Ask questions! When I first started on this clean eating/Vegan journey it was overwhelming (and still is) it is so difficult to read ingredients on the foods we buy and actually understand what we are purchasing. So I always found it easier to take it one chemical (ie additives, poison, toxins, etc.) at a time…

So, each day for the next 30 days or so I will do a daily post on Instagram(and probably here too) of the definition and side effects of the chemicals that are put in our food. One chemical each day.

It’s important that we understand what is in our foods, we really are what we eat and why wouldn’t you want to know what you are ingesting. This may get a little disheartening, but just know that there are options and you have a choice to eat clean and grad hold of your health.

Day 1: Aspartame
