...I make my way back to clean eating. I went to yoga this morning and it was hard, but it felt great.
Today I made roasted chickpeas. You toss them in your seasoning of choice and bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Stir them around a bit 2-3 times during the cooking time.
For this batch I mixed a healthy dose of wasabi, some soy sauce and a bit of hemp oil in a bowl. After rinsing the garbanzo beans I tossed them in the sauce mixture and roasted them up on a cookie sheet with a silpat on it.
They aren't super pretty, but they are tasty!

huh- over a year later...
I really haven't been watching what I am eating or working out as I should for over a year. I am not in the worst shape of my life, but I am on the express train to that stop! This being said I really had to sit down and think about making changes for myself that make me happy. When I eat well and exercise I feel strong, happy and healthy. Who doesn't want that? I have the ability and the knowledge so here I go again! The 100 day clean eating challenge. Third times the charm, right?
Here is the plan for the upcoming week... I am going to weigh myself weekly. I get a little weird if it is more than that. I will be working out at the gym and from home right now, but I will be starting yoga again in short order.
The menu for the week is as follows:
Breakfast (always the same): coffee, Ezekiel bread and natural peanut butter.
Snacks this week: Greek yogurt with fruit and nuts in the morning and veggie juice, string cheese and crackers in the afternoon.
Lunches will be leftovers or clean frozen meals. I try not to eat too many frozen meals because the content is still hard to control and I try to microwave as little as possible.
Dinners for the week:
Monday: Grilled salmon with a raw corn and zucchini salad (it is DELICIOUS!!!)
Tuesday: Bean and cheese burritos (fast and easy for a late work night)
Wednesday: Grilled chicken breast and a greek salad (great for wraps at lunch tomorrow)
Thursday: Asian Noodle Bowls
Friday: Black bean burgers with avocado and salsa and a salad
