So last month I agreed to do a clean eating challenge with some of my coworkers. I honestly don't know why I agreed to it. Oh wait yes I do it is a good way to lose weight and get some healthier habits.
Needless to say we are only 5 days into it the challenge and I am struggling to get all of my requirements in and reach my calorie goals every day. I am supposed to get SIX, yes SIX servings of vegetables per day. I'm lucky if I got one in before this month, so that's tricky for me. I also need to get SEVEN servings of lean protein, which is also extremely difficult for me. I think I finally have the veggies down, five days in, but I am still struggling with the lean protein and second veggies (grains).
I bought some quinoa and wild rice to get in the second veggies. I have no idea about how to make the quinoa so I have to dig up some recipes for that. Also I can't wait for the new Planet Fitness to open. I signed up again for their membership but it is out of the way to get to the other one, especially this time of year when you don't know what the weather will do.
On another goal aspect...
I have bought supplies to start making some new items for my Etsy store. I got a few of them completed this weekend. I have a few things left to complete. I haven't gotten any of them posted yet but I look forward to adding them. I still have a few ideas of other things to make and add to the store as well. I am hoping these new items will add new interest to the store.
I also submitted one of my stories to a couple Beta Readers recently so I have been combing through their feedback and working on getting that done as well. I have a ways to go on it yet but once I get the chance to really sit down and work on it, it should go pretty quickly. I will sit down to work on that once I get all of my new items made and posted!
