I actually had a three day weekend this past weekend! It rarely happens without having to use a vacation day. So, Friday I did errands, had lunch with my dad, and made soup. Saturday my mom and I got up at 4am to head over to St. Cloud, Minnesota, to watch my baby brother compete in The Granite Games. The Granite Games is a cross fit competition that draws competitors from all of the US and even some international competitors. His team did really well and ended up winning! I'm so proud of him! I didn't take many pictures, but here's a short clip from his Instagram account of some of his training.
While I have no desire to start doing cross fit, it was a good reminder that I needed to get back to clean eating. I do okay, for the most part, but I still swipe the occasional candy bar or bag of chips out of the vending machine from work when I'm hungry (or if we're being honest- bored). So, I'm planning a defense against the vending machines and pull of junk food.
Pack healthy and filling lunches. No one likes to feel deprived, and watch everyone around them eat tasty junk foods while you nibble on flavorless lunches. I signed up for Craftsy's Big Bowl Vegetarian Meals(affiliate link). I've watched the first two videos and am really looking forward to trying them.
Pack healthy snacks. For now I subscribe to NatureBox and love getting my snacks each month, but I'm looking for recipes to make on my own.
Drink lots of water. Water helps you feel more full, keeps your energy levels up, and is great for your skin.
I think if I follow these three steps, I can eliminate most of my junk food snacking, and get back into eating healthy all the time. Any tips on eating cleaner? What have you found works best for you?
