Big news: RYAN MCGONAGILL OF BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS HAS DECIDED TO TAKE ON THIS CHALLENGE WITH ME.
Therefore, he will be popping in and doing some guest blogs, and watch out, he's funnier than even me--I KNOW, HARD TO BELIEVE, SOMEONE FUNNIER THAN ME, I KNOW, BUT YES, HE IS, BELIEVE IT SISTER.
US BEFORE WE STARTED THE CLEAN EATING CHALLENGE
4-14
US ONE WEEK AFTER STARTING THE CHALLENGE
4-21
SO YEAH WE'RE LIKE FEELING SRSLY CLEAN N HEALTHY N SH✽T
When I say I'm taking on a "clean eating challenge" what this really entails is eating all natural like 87.982% of the time. Ryan and I both decided beer and coffee are both pure and natural and all that is holy and thus allowed on the plan. In addition to those exceptions, I'm not opposed to letting myself eat something normal the other small percentage of the time. Por ejemplo, I went to the movies last night with my gUrL FrIeNdZz and had peanut M&Ms and popcorn.
Despite the small allowancez and exceptionz, my whole way of cooking has changed. Being that, I'm actually, you know, like cooking.

Challenges
- According to The Gracious Pantry, canned veggies and packaged meats aren't allowed, which really imposes on my fondness of chickpeas and well, packaged turkey meat. IT'S FINE I'LL JUST PLANT A GARBANZO BEAN GARDEN ON MEMORIAL CIRCLE, I WILL BE FINE, ALL IS WELL THAT ENDS WELL.
- Not being able to eat Nature Valley bars. CHRIST. Those are healthy, lalala, yes, but they aren't all natural, SO THEY MIGHT AS WELL BE KRISPY KREME DONUTS ON THE ALL NATURAL DIET.
- Not eating Jack in the Box at 3 AM is... uncomfortable.
- Switching from ranch dressing with salad to olive oil and balsamic.
- SAYING NO TO COMMUNITY BOXES OF PIZZA AT WORK.
- Not having cheese.(only parm) Wah
- Not having store bought pasta sauce. I try to just do tomatoes, parmesan cheese, olive oil and salt.
- Not having packaged turkey meat. IT'S PROCESSED.
- NOT HAVING SUN CHIPS.
- NOT HAVING SPECIALTY COFFEE DRINKS FROM STARBS
