Hello....My name is Magan and I am a Sugar Addict.....
This week I have decided to do something to do something a little different, I know I have dedicated this blog to recipes only but I want to reassure you that eating clean works! I am just as guilty as anyone when it come to falling short of their diets and my number one adversary is sugar, chocolate trail mix to be exact! To prove how much food affects our bodies I will be doing a 6 Day Fitness Food Challenge that consists of picture and food updates and whatever else I decide to throw in there to jazz it up haha! I also want you to see that diets don't have to be yucky and boring.... We Will NOT Sacrifice Taste!
I know you may be thinking that this will be easier for me because I am fit and have dieted before but recently I have fallen off of the clean eating wagon and fell into sugar's arms indulging in peanut butter trail mix and buddying up with his ally Pinot Grigio (I know what you're thinking, chocolate pairs better with a Syrah...I am aware but it's just too hot out for red)! Oy Vey...but I will not let life get me down! We can all agree we are super busy so we don't have time to dwell on our "oh crap" moments. To assure you that I am a regular busy body I have a full time job and this is our busiest quarter, I have a hobby (blogging as you all know) that takes hours of my time, I am trying to get my small business up and running (every American's dream to be your own boss!), I work out daily, I make all of my own food and I just came off a foot surgery so my exercise is limited. Regular Joe here! or is it Josie? Anyway.....
No excuses in the Skinny Eating World folks! YOU can do whatever YOU put YOUR mind to!
Follow me at the end of each day to see updates!!!
Please keep in mind that I am not a Nurtitionist or Personal trainer so this is what I choose to eat, this is not a certified meal plan, Thank You.

Sunday 9/30/12 - Food Prep
This only took me an hour to put together which will save me twice that amount of time trying fit prepping into everyday! It also prevents me from making hasty and poor decisions. When our food is ready to go we can just grab and go! Convenience is a must when having a busy lifestyle!
