Beautiful Inside and Out
Clean living, one step at a time
Taking the First Step
Taking the first step toward something new is sometimes the hardest! Breaking bad habits can be a daunting task, including: cleaning up your eating, adding an exercise routine, getting organized, etc... I seem to give myself the Doom's Day date, like "I'll start on Monday." or "I'll be ready on the 1st." Honestly, that means, "I am going to continue the behavior that I recognize as bad for as long as I can." haha!
Since moving to Florida, my hubby and I have found ourselves on perm-vacation. That is awesome for my mental state, but terrible for my waist line! So, this Monday (wink wink) I am going to start a clean eating program through Arbonne: 30 Days to Healthy Living.
The cool thing is that you can join me! You can do this with or without Arbonne products by
1. Eliminating allergenic and inflammatory foods: Gluten, dairy, soy, alcohol, sugar and caffeine.
2. Eating lean meat and lots of green veggies. Organic and grass fed as much as possible.
3. Drinking plenty of water.
Why is it a challenge to be good to ourselves? What steps are you taking to "clean up your act?"
Tools in my toolbox
Arbonne Protein Powder
Plant based protein, made form split pea, cranberry and rice proteins.
Water, water, water!!!
Did you know that you should be drinking 1/2 of your body weight in ounces everyday!!! That means if you weigh 100 lbs, you should drink 50 ounces of water daily! I think that I will have to wake up early, just to get a jump start on my ounces haha
Yummy, fresh veggies
Vegetables today aren't the same vegetables that our grandparents ate. Too often, they are genetically modified to resist bugs and weed sprays, meaning that we are eating those added chemicals. I look for organic as often as it is available.
Watch out for tricks.
Just because the package says "Gluten Free," doesn't mean that it's a health food. There are still added sugars and sometimes even more than the original version of the food item. I am going to start by drinking 2 shakes per day and one meal of lean meat and veggies to jump start my detoxification process.
My family really appreciates your continued love and support!
