Powermeal Challenge

As I have mentioned before I am participating in the June Powermeal A Day Challenge by PowerCakes and I have to say...

I love it!

The daily challenges are keeping me on my toes and making me think outside of the box. I went to Fresh and Easy yesterday and made sure I picked up plenty of green for today and blue for tomorrow.
My meals are more detailed... if that makes sense. What is usually a kale, strawberry smoothie was a GREEN machine today. At each meal I have been looking to add as much green as I can to my meal.

Kiwi. Alfalfa Sprouts. Avocado. Kale. Spinach.

Yes, I am hooked! Tomorrow is blue and Thursday is my favorite... Purple!

The more I go through this challenge I am finding I LOVE to find clean alternatives for meals and I LOVE the kitchen. 

This photo was taken this morning in our kitchen! ((I'm finding the photo editor makes my pics blurry on my blog))
I just think it is a great representation of our kitchen. Everything is red... red plates. red pans. red spatulas. I try my hardest to keep everything "clean" eats!
This was just my thought for the day and my take on the PowerCakes Challenge. It's not too late to start participating. Check out my blog from yesterday for the hyperlinks to her page.
Thank you all for your support, follows and shares!
I appreciate every one of you and I really hope I exceed your expectations on this FIT JOURNEY!
Fit From the Inside Out-The journey begins first with your heart and head. Believe in yourself and love others. Surround yourself with people that love you and who are positive on this journey. The rest will come... eat clean. train mean. & sleep sound.
Enjoy it. If you aren't enjoying your fitness journey... something needs to be changed!
Thank you!

Marvelous in My Monday

To spruce up my day I hit Fresh and Easy today to pick up some lunchtime staples and I picked up these beautiful Peonies. I can't wait for them to start opening up! This was the marvelous in my Monday. 

No, this isn't a new saying I just decided to have for Monday... I am participating in the Healthy Diva's Marvelous in My Monday... #MIMM.

Spread the cheer and MARVELOUS on Mondays and participate in Marvelous in my Monday by using the hashtag #MIMM on your posts about what is Marvelous in YOUR Monday!!

My yellow for today's June Powermeal A Day was in this gorgeous salad I created for lunch. A top a bed of Romaine lettuce I added peaches, pineapple, Jalapenos, alfalfa sprouts, low fat mozzarella, red wine vinegar and chicken.
I am hooked on fruit in my salads with something spicy (Jalapenos) and tart (vinegar). Give it a try!
For more Powermeals from #YELLOW check out the blog by Powercakes here.

With that...
I want to thank each and every one of you that is following me and supporting me on this journey. I get bombarded with school and work full-time and this is one of my favorite things to do... share my love for health and fitness with others.

This picture is a little blurry from the editor app I used... but... the Marvelous in my Monday is always coming home to my best friend. No matter what your dreams or goals are, ALWAYS surround yourself with people who support them. It is very difficult to accomplish your dreams and goals without the love of supportive people.
Thank you all again for your support!!

Fit Weekend

What a busy busy weekend it was for me and I am just now sitting down to work on a new post for you all!
I have started to use Twitter more and I love it. I am not too happy with the changes that Facebook has made. I love Instagram too! Search for me on both, @fit_insideout.

The love of my life had the weekend off (again) and we hit the gym Saturday morning. That evening we went to a Sugarland concert. I just love spending time with him!

I have joined in two challenges for the month of June. One that I mentioned in my Friday blog that is hosted by the Healthy Diva, Show Me Your {tea}. The second is being hosted by PowerCakes, June Power Meal a Day. I love that there is a new challenge every day of the month. If you are interested in the PowerCakes Power Meal a Day challenge go check out the blog here.

Today's PowerMeal was... Orange! The picture above is Greek yogurt, granola, walnuts, unsweetened coconut shavings, 2 apricots, and 3 strawberries sliced. I LOVED it. It really did taste so good and was very quick to whip up.

My #teatime12 favorites this weekend were Vanilla Chai Tea with unsweetened almond milk and one Stevia packet and Tazo Berryblossom White tea. I love that one iced!

We picked up some MAGICAL produce ;-) at Sprouts this weekend and I just had to include this photo in today's blog. I am excited for all of the Summer produce that will be in season this upcoming month!

My plan for this week is to post my leg routine for you all and check in as I progress through each of the June challenges.
Any ideas or requests for blog posts?

Let me know!!

Thank you for listening.
