Preparing for Clean Eating Challenge

You know some days the moon and stars just perfectly align and life seems to be in perfect sync with the path you are taking. All day I've been trying to determine how for two weeks was I going to be creative enough to keep my husband and I both happy with our new found diet plan. It came to me totally by chance.

I am a big, no I mean HUGE fan of reading. Especially fitness and nutrition. So I have to constantly feed my obsession by ordering books from Amazon almost on a weekly basis. I love a great bargain and you can find tons of AMAZING books for literally pennies on the dollar. That is a fabulous way to broaden your knowledge.

Another a great place to go is local thrift stores. Seriously, you can pick up some WONDERFUL cookbooks, fitness books, etc for really bargain basket prices. Well today was my local trip to our Goodwill Store. I love to browse through the various cookbooks they have there. I like variety and there are lots of interesting cookbooks on the market, but who has $20 a pop to tryout recipes...I mean you want your money going towards the groceries, not the print! Today my big find was a cookbook titled "Eat For Strength" A Vegetarian Cookbook. Get this, the recipes are oil-free, sugar-free, dairy-free!!! OMG! is this perfect or what! I was thrilled. The copyright date is 1978, so even back then someone knew there was a better way to fitness through nutrition.

I am so excited about my find. We are going to be trying these recipes. I will post some for you guys. I know if you are anything like me, I don't like "change" without being a little prepared. I am keeping in mind the only way I am truly going to see the amazing results I want is through my nutrition as well as the P90X! I have to be prepared to BRING IT in the kitchen just as much as I do with my workout! Ready to ROCK this body out!!! Summer will be FABULOUS...sun, sand and BIKINI time here I come.
