Tomorrow starts a 7-day vegetarian challenge that I plan on joining!
-Day Vegetarian Challenge
I’m joining Jen (Marathon Mom) and Jill Conyers (fitness, health & happiness) to become a vegetarian for 1 week. The challenge officially starts on April 22.
Something to think about. The benefits of a plant based diet include:
- reduce body fat and maintain lean muscle,
- increase energy without coffee or caffeine,
- increase strength,
- increase endurance,
- improve sleep quality,
- improve mental clarity,
- reduce sleep requirements,
- improve resistance to infection,
- quicken recovery from exercise,
- reduce or eliminate sugar cravings,
- increase desire to excel.

Good luck on your challenge! Although I don’t think I could go vegetarian, I will say that going clean changed my life! Looking forward to reading how your week goes! 🙂
Such a difference to eat clean. I had a kale smoothie this a.m. & it feels great to start my day that way! Such a difference.
Have fun! I just ate turkey & veggies for lunch so I’m out for the week 🙂
You can always start “tomorrow” or simply eat more vegies :).
