Weeknight Paleo Fajitas
Happy Hump Day!!
So darling family, how are the holidays? You surviving? I've been eating pretty clean and have stayed super consistent at the gym but have been drinking my face off. So today is day 3 of no drinking. I figured I'd give it a rest for a week or so to get back on track, my goal for the new year is to only drink on the weekends! Too much lifting, working, planning and running thangs during the week to be drinking so much damn wine! My biggest help in eating clean lately has been prep cooking on Sundays. Check out my prep day guide HERE. If you need ANY help or resources or advice, I'm your girl. I'm all certified and stuff now and have some great tips for getting through December and setting yourself for a killer 2015.
Be sure to not beat yourself if you have been indulging a bit, it's kind of inevitable for us to let everything slip in December and then set some goals for a fresh, new year. I'll never understand why we create such stress for ourselves around the holidays but it seems to just creep up and BAM! That's why I love January, that's why you have to check out some advice from yours truly and the Primal Vixen Program :).
