Today meal plan involves my cheat meal. Now, I know what you are thinking, "You are already having your cheat meal on the first day of your challenge?!?" 

Yes I am because I had already had that day planned out from last week and I always plan out my cheat meal dates on pay day. That way, I am not restricted to anything. I like my cheat meals and I do have it every week, after about 7 to 10 days of clean eating. It keeps me sane and keeps my cravings at bay.

Breakfast will be a bowl of oatmeal with berries and 1 orange with a cup pf peppermint tea and a glass of water.

Lunch will probably be a Falefal plate at Shawarma sante, I will be on the go today and since it's also grocery day (another reason why my cheat meal is today) I can't pack up too much of a good lunch so my go to healthy lunch is usually shawarma plate (not the sandwich) or subway.

Supper is RED LOBSTER, i\m supper excited. 

I'll be having a few snacks here and there during the day, mostly an apple or piece of cheese and a protein bar or shake. I'll take a picture of absolutely everything I will be eating today and make an other post tonight. So check back later.

Be strong. Be proud.

Be the BEAST
