Summer Countdown Series: Week 1

Today was the start of my Summer Countdown Series! As promised, here are this weeks challenges and rewards:

HEALTHY BALANCE DIET:
I'll be posting today's food prep on a separate post.  It will feature fruits and veggies, plus some of my pantry staples. Check that out here: http://thesweetpeabri.blogspot.com/2014/03/march-9th-food-prep.html

5 DAYS OF EXERCISE:
I plan on doing easy to moderate exercise this week. It's a bad time of the month for me right now... Need I say more? I'll have to be creative to get in the 5 days of exercise since I'm not feeling up to my usual strength level.  Hopefully I can post a workout that I come up with later on in the week.

NUTRITION CHALLENGE:
This weeks nutrition challenge is something that I've been slacking on a lot lately... No processed wheat flours!!! Enriched, bleached, whole wheat, I don't care what kind it is but it needs to go for the week. That means no bread, pretzels, processed snacks, pancakes. Pretty much going for a gluten free week. I will replace all of those empty calories with more natural starches like brown rice or potatoes (in moderation of course). I also have some Gluten Free sprouted grain tortillas for making healthy wraps.  You can also check those out on my food prep page.

REWARD:
If you really knew me you'd know that I take FOREVER to get ready.  Especially when I haven't gone clothes shopping for a while and feel like I have "nothing to wear." Weather in Tucson is still chilly in the mornings, but the days are heating up quick. It's time to put away the sweaters and jeans a get ready for Summer! (There's no "spring" here. It just gets hot haha).  That's why my reward for this week is a new romper.  I love rompers because like I said, I take FOREVER to get ready. Rompers solve this problem for me. They are so simple and casual, but they can also be dressy if worn with a cute cardigan or glamorous accessories.  I posted a picture of a romper from Urban Outfitter which I think is adorable! Can't wait to earn this weeks reward!
