Yesterday’s challenge was to Cut the Crap-I was pretty successful minus a couple handfuls of chocolate chips after dinner.  Monica over at Run Eat Repeat is also following the Cut The Crap mentality by having a Crap Free Week.  I have decided to make it a personal goal to have a Crap Free Week too!  I rarely ate sweets (besides massive amounts of berries) or processed snacks until I moved and started school–and as you all know like Pringles once you pop you can’t stop.

Crap Free Day 1

A crap free day should most definitely start with a giant bowl of oats and fruit.  Blueberries were added post-picture.

Lunch was really a salad folded into a wrap, fruit bowl, and a pickle for fun.

Dinner was leftover pizza and a salad.  I ended up eating only one of the pizza slices-it was a lot more filling than I thought.

Homemade pizza is probably one of my favorite weekend meals!  If you buy (and I do)  pre-made crust it takes about 5 minute to throw together and you have a fun takeout meal that is way healthier.

We used a Rustic Crust Whole Grain pizza crust this weekend and it was the best pizza crust I have eaten!  The best!  My pizzas are simple and loaded with veggies–spread on some pasta sauce, sprinkle Italian seasoning and black pepper, top with fresh spinach, mushrooms, optional cheese [I diced up some provolone slices we had], then sprinkle on Parmesan and bake as directed.

Prep time:  5 minutes.  Cook time:  15 minutes.  Beat that  Papa Johns!

July 13 Daily Challenge

Here is a preview of some more of the goodies up for grabs in this challenge giveaway:

Pure Soy Candles lovingly made by my parents.  Trust me these candles are great, I have them all over my apartment.  My parents are very crafty ( I did not inherit this) and sell their candles and crafts at local craft shows during the winters.  The scent is Soothing Sandalwood so it will be great in any room.

**Remember that you can start the challenge at anytime.  Just complete the daily challenge and leave a comment. At the end of the month each comment/completion will be an entry for the giveaway!
