The Challenge

At times, my life feels monotonous and boring. I eat the same things for breakfast, lunch and dinner day in and day out. Sometimes I need a break. An opportunity to change things, mix them up and more importantly; challenge myself. 

The Challenge is 150 days of freedom. Freedom from most processed foods, wheat, sodas and sugar. 

I know what your thinking:

1. "Wow!" Thats a lot of stuff to give up"
2. "Sarah, don't you already eat clean?"

Yes...I do, mostly. But like everyone I have weaknesses. Like soda, for example. 

So, how is this Challenge going to break the monotony or break my soda habit? 

Hmmm...

I read on the Internet that it takes 7 days to create a habit. Good or bad. So, I am thinking, if I follow the Challenge for 7 days, the rest of the 143 days will feel less like a challenge and more like a life habit. Right? Right. So, I plan to start with the 7 days and build from there. 

My 7 day plan:

Day 1- Monday

Breakfast- Muesli, almond milk and half a banana 

Lunch- Salad. Made with beans, veggies, spinach and avocado salsa

Dinner- Fish, brown rice and veggies

Snacks- celery and peanut butter, carrots and hummus

Since no challenge is complete without competition, I would like to challenge you to join The Challenge with me. Join me in the freedom to choose healthier habits. And if we lose a few pounds on the way, even better :-) 

What do you say? Are you with me?
