In my last post, I mentioned that my boyfriend Harris and I are doing a natural foods cleanse this week. We are following the Tone It Up! 5 Day Slim Down. He will be making some minor "manly" tweaks though ;-) I feel like we are finally getting through the peak of our busy fall schedules and this week would be perfect for us to do a re-set.
We went on a HUGE grocery haul today. We went to Costco and the Farmers Market and stocked up on EVERYTHING. We have no excuse not to eat this bright, fresh, & beautiful food!
At Costco, we wanted to get all of our meats because it's the best bang for your buck. We got Salmon, Tilapia, Chicken, Eggs and Grass Fed Lean Steaks. We also got our bags of baby carrots & peppers and hummus for snacking. Harris will be incorporating raw nuts into his 5 day slim down, but I'm choosing to leave them out this time around. Costco is such a great place to stock up on almonds and cashews. You really can't beat the price. Another key find, especially for the slimdown- VitaCoco & Bai drinks in bulk! Perfect for a mid-morning re-charge. And, again, you can't beat the Costco price with these drinks. What is great about all of today's purchases, is we are pretty much set on our groceries for a while! That makes me smile :-)
At the Farmers Market, we got the rest of our yummy produce-
- Apples
- Limes
- Bananas
- Strawberries
- Spinach
- Fresh Herbs
- Green Onions
- Mushrooms
- Broccoli
- Asparagus
- Tomatoes
- Green Beans
- Melon
We have some great meals planned for this week including lots of roasted veggies with dinner & salads for lunches. I'm prepping my veggies tonight. Zucchini, Carrots, Green Beans, Asparagus, & Mushrooms. I wash and chop them, spread them on a cookie sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with chopped garlic and a little sea salt, and pop them in the oven. These roasted veggies are going to pair with any of the meats/fish we make this week.
I also prepped a bunch of Pumpkin Spice Perfect Fit Waffles with some canned pumpkin I needed to use up. We have our breakfasts set for the first few days of the week. PerfectFit Waffles are made out of eggs & Organic Plant-based Perfect Fit protein powder, and usually mixed up with banana or avocado, or other add ins. So they are very 5 Day Slim Down friendly! I may need to make another batch on Wednesday or Thursday:-)
As I finished up making my waffles earlier, I got my Tone it Up! notification that the weekly workout schedule is up on their site. That was my queue to write out and set my workout plan for the week. The Tone it Up plan just makes it easy and fun to stay on track.
So my workouts and meals are set for the week. No excuses! This will be a Lean, Clean, & Green next 5 days! I'm super excited and ready for tomorrow.
I'll check in tomorrow with a status of 5 Day Slim Down Day #1!
