Clean Living Week Challenge

This week I've accepted a challenge from MorningCoach.com to a week of clean living. In order to achieve abundance, spiritual, financial, etc. we must first take care of ourselves. We must live a life believing that we deserve the things we want in our lives. We must believe in and value ourselves first!

Zig Ziglar tells a story of a million-dollar race horse. If you owned a million-dollar race horse would you feed it coffee? Fast food? Cigarettes? Alcohol? I didn't think so. Why do we treat ourselves so much worse?

It's important every now and then for us to change things up. How do we expect things to change if we do the same things over and over again?

This week, beginning today, I'm changing my routine.

Here's the challenge for the week:

1. No sugar - reading labels becomes very important here
2. No alcohol - oh how to sleep without my nightly glass of wine?
3. No caffeine - yikes! Starbucks - I will come back - I promise!
4. Go vegetarian - this might be tough for me - made it today - oatmeal for breakfast, lentil soup for lunch and cheese quesadilla for dinner.
5. No fast food - not a problem
6. No heavy lifting or resistance training - Zumba is my friend here!
7. Drink fluids - plenty of water and teas
8. Have fun with it - posting this blog is my first attempt at putting the challenge out there.

Monday thru Sunday - that's the challenge. The goal is to live cleaner. I'm up for it? You?
