Whewww! That was a long weekend. I told you I was going on a month of eating clean this August. I'm not going to lie, keeping to that plan has. been. so. hard. For some reason, I just couldn't find enough motivation as before. I've been parking up on carbs and barely eating enough vegetables. But this week, I'm more than determined to eat clean. If not for anything, but at least to prevent the things that leave my bowels from breaking my WC. This is what this week will look like for me:
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
- Greek yogurt
- Fresh coconut milk
- An abundance of fruits
These things jump at me:
1. Deny yourself
2. Pick up your cross
3. Follow Me
It doesn't seem like the easiest thing to do and in fact, it is not. But that is where real life and joy is. When we let go of ourselves, and of the things that clutter our lives. When we let go of sticking to this world as though it is our eternal home. When we look forward to something greater and better which is living for Him. May God help us deny ourselves daily.
That's what's up with me, friends. I hope your week comes with so much joy, dying to self and fulfilment.
What's the one thing you hope to accomplish this week?
Love ya!
Clean eating is not for me except someone decides to cook and feed me. Welldone on the progress.

You can do it too, darling. Maybe with time? It's a good cleansing experience.
You know what I said when I saw Monday's breakfast. "No be Nigeria she dey!" lol. To be honest, I have to search Google to know what parfait looks like. Oyibo and food name tho!
Thanks for the scripture. That's my take-away. Have a great week ma'm! *hugs*
Lol Amaka! I'll eventually share some of these recipes. They're made up of everyday ingredients with "big" names.
I'm glad the scripture spoke to you too. Have a very blessed week!
LOOOOOL @ no be Nigeria she dey. Enjoy Precious!

Thanks Kachee!
Lovely! ...I try to eat clean too but prep time is my issue. Greek yoghurt and strawberries is my go-to breakfast. Salad without dressing is the last thing I eat. I always want grilled fish, some fancy healthy food even beans pudding but I just don't have the time. So I just eat carbs in between.*shrugs*

I've been wanting bean pudding now for ages but I keep postponing the decision to wash the beans. Lol
We shall overcome.
Presh. This is awesome. Will try this frittata.
For your beans pudding, to peel the skin, soak the beans for like 20 minutes and pulse in a blender once. The skin falls right off.

Thanks for the tip, Nelo! I actually peel in the blender but for some reason, I'm not motivated enough to get to it. Please let me know how the frittata goes.
