Hey y’all! Happy New Year!!!
Sorry I’ve been such a stranger lately. Year end at my law job was super crazy because we had no idea what Congress would do and had to prepare our clients for for whatever may happen. And I’m going to stop right there before I start rambling! Haha.
After a weekend of eating tons of junk food {think mexican, chinese, pizza … I mean, need I go on?}, I decided that for the next 30 days I’m going to get back to clean eating. My system needs this reset. Big time.
I’m challenging myself to eat 80% lean and clean foods for the next 30 days.
Why 80%? No one is perfect, including me. 80% is a realistic number that I can see myself sticking to. If it were any other time of the year, I’d say 85-90%, however, king cake season started yesterday.
Who can say no to this?!
And 30 days? Well, I pulled that number out of the air. It sounded good :)
So here it goes …
Breakfast: 2 cups grapes & Gaia Herbs cleanse & detox tea.
Yes, my first meal was small, but I’m honestly still full from last night’s mexican feast. I’m really trying to listen to my body.
Snack: Green-Aid from Whole Foods.
After the junk I’ve eaten, my little body needs some major “aid”!
Lunch: kale caesar salad.
This dressing the the first non-clean thing I’m eating today! Surprisingly, I have yet to get into the king cake. Don’t worry, it WILL happen later today ;)
How do you reset your body?
How many days you would spend resetting your body?
Xoxo.

I’ve been eating really clean lately and just feel so much better! Over the holidays some sweets slipped in but once I cut them out I had my energy back! Make sure not to reduce your calories too drastically though! And I’ve never had a King cake before– what is it like?
Reducing calories is never an issue for me ;) I love to eat way too much, lol, and I think that may be some of my problem ;)
King Cake … swoon … is a light and airy cake with cinnamon on sugar inside. Sort of like a cinnamon bun, but more cake and not as dense. Then there is just plain sugar icing on top, with colored sugar sprinkles. It’s clearly what heaven tastes like! lol. And … they have gluten-free versions around these parts – so there is even some for you!
