and the countdown begins!

With the race being a little more than 2 weeks away I decided to change up my diet. I have eliminated all added sugars, salts, oils, fats, as well as flour and all animal products. Because this is a huge step I had looked up tons of recipes to try this week that would include a variety of foods so that I wouldn't get bored! So after a successful first day I am prepared to do this for a while!

Today for breakfast I had a bowl of grapes (yum =] ) and tea.

For lunch I made black bean burgers (sorry no picture from me) and steamed veggies.

For dinner I made an Italian Layered Vegetable Casserole which turned out pretty well and then had delicious Strawberry-Banana Ice Cream for dessert (it was fantastic).

 

And this past weekend I went camping on the Great Wall. I had a great time with my friends - we made s'mores, roasted veggies, and played games around the camp fire. We also saw the most beautiful sunset!

Have a great day!
