30 Day Challenge

Summer is almost here. This means bikini time. Every year it's the same thing, I buy a really cute bikini but I never feel confident enough to wear it. Well, this year it's going to be different! 

The picture above is Jessica Alba. AFTER TWO KIDS. Granted, she is a celebrity and probably has the best chefs and trainers in the world. However, I have youth on my side so now is the time to get serious about being in shape.

I recently started a 30 day challenge, the rules are: one hour of activity (pilates, biking, hiking, whatever) everyday for 30 days, no sweets for 30 days (I'm still allowed a piece of dark chocolate here and there. I'm female, it's like a medication), and stick to a diet minimally processed foods. I'm going to be posting meal ideas and tips here for the next 29 days. I'm on a budget and I don't love to work out so I'm going to have to get creative.

Breakfast

This breakfast was super quick to make and very filling. It's two scrambled eggs (I mix with almond milk instead of dairy), a handful of broccoli (mix a bit of olive oil with broccoli so it cooks nicely), a sprinkling of cheese, and some pepper. Also, half of a sourdough english muffin with one tablespoon greek yogurt mixed with one tablespoon blackberry jam. So good!
