2 Weeks Clean/Steak Marinade/Blogging Schedule

Hi All! Sorry for my long time absence. I have made the decision to cut back on blogging a bit because I was getting a little overwhelmed! I will also be returning to my original blogging roots and will be posting more recipes! Hope you're all ok with this!!

Ok, so this past Friday marked 2 weeks of clean eating! I have done VERY little cheating and am feeling fabulous. These upcoming two weeks, I am going to try to continue MOSTLY clean eating while starting to test bringing a few of my favorite more processed foods back into my life. I want to find a nice balance so that when the month is over, I am eating about 85-90% clean. Tonight was one of those tests!

I made up the following steak marinade using this recipe (I only adjusted the amount of vinegar):

1/3 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1/3 cup soy sauce (my un clean ingredient)
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

I put the steak in the marinade about 4 hours prior to dinner and stuck it all in the fridge. It was probably twice as much marinade as we needed, but the result was awesome! Josh had tons of steak and brussels:

While I had tons of veggies and just a few pieces of steak (haha):

Did you guys have a good weekend? It was SO nice here! We went to the beach for the first time and the weather was just perfect! I got some nice color! I also taught Body Attack on Friday and Body Step yesterday. Today was a mostly relaxing day with some errands! Talk to you all later this week!

Reversed Day

Happy Wednesday! We’re more than halfway through the work week! Since Josh and I have tons going on this afternoon/tonight, I switched my day around and took Body Pump at 5:45 this morning. It was a great way to kick off the day! I then came home and had an apple with peanut butter and a little granola and coffee.

My initial lunch plan was sweet potato based (after seeing Jenn’s awesome looking sweet potato fries). However, I soon realized I have tonssssssss of salad stuff and I don’t want it to go bad, so…I had the usual salad (romaine, carrots, tomato, corn, black beans, olive oil, balsamic vinegar).

I also had (ANOTHER) apple with cinnamon

For a snack this afternoon, I am planning either a banana or a piece of whole wheat bread and potentially some more coffee… We are going out to dinner tonight with Josh’s parents, so I will try to take some pics and post them up tomorrow. I also plan to do 3 sets of push ups and some more stretching (for BBBC). Have a great night (Lost is on!!)
