Clean Eating Challenge

Ok, this post is all about clean eating.

A friend invited me to this facebook challenge where until December 27th I would eat clean.  Here are the rules she laid out.
he Rules:
  1. You have until Monday morning the 18th to take your measurements (weight, inches, bodyfat) and pictures. You don’t have to post them but do take them. Sometimes you won’t see a huge scale or inch loss but you’ll see a huge improvement in pictures. These will be priceless to you!!! 
  2. Eat from the top two tiers of Michi's Ladder ONLY. http://teambeachbody.com/eat-smart/michis-ladder. If you cannot access this please let me know.
  3. Drink atleast 64 oz. of water a day. 
  4. You get one cheat meal per week. NOT A CHEAT DAY!
  5. You are allowed two additional cheat snacks in this 69 day period. 
  6. You must report daily for the preceding day on this events page. Feel free to post questions, comments etc. We are in this together!!
  7. Alcohol is not allowed on the challenge EXCEPT for during your cheat meal.
  8. You must work out atleast 5 days per week. It does not have to be a Beachbody program but if you are interested in one let me know so I can help you choose the appropriate one for you.
  9. Any deviation from the above rules and you will be out of the challenge.

  • Exceptions to Michi's Ladder: I am allowing the following: coffee, almond milk, greek yogurt, plain baked potatoes, limited low fat cheeses (as I know the non fat stuff can taste like cardboard), agave nectar, recovery drink, and protein supplements (bars, shakes etc...the less processed the better).
  • The Prize: The person with the most improvement in stats will receive a full week of Shakeology. This will include 7 packets (flavor of your choosing) and a shaker cup. 

 I've agreed to go along with this, so I will also be blogging with my struggles.  I am much better at succeeding when I have the push of a challenge.  One of my co-workers is also involved so I won't be going the process alone.   Now to go food shopping to stay in those top two tiers!
