I’ve done Crap Free Week in the past, so this is CFW Part II. The last few weeks have been crazy – I moved across the country again, moved back into my mom’s for a month and partook in lots of celebrations. I have been eating way too much processed food and sweets.
I mean, after a day full of fried food, cake and ice cream – this was dinner x2! 
If anyone ever needed a CFW it’s ME right NOW.
I decided a Crap Free Week was in order. The originator of CFW was Chandra, but many others have followed in her footsteps. Everyone that has done CFW since Chandra has tweaked it to their own needs/crap issues 🙂
The “crap” that’s a problem in my life is sugar, white flour, snack foods (crackers, granola bars, sugar cereal) and sugar substitutes. So, my Crap Free Week will avoid those foods. I started today and it will run through next Saturday.
The Crap – sugar, white flour, snack foods (sugar cereals, granola bars, crackers), sugar substitutes. I am going to try and cut back on sugar subs, but still will have the occasional piece of sf gum.
The Goods – whole wheat breads, low sugar/high fiber cereals, nut butters, eggs, beans, veggie burgers, yogurt, and other whole foods.
The Goals – Eliminate my constant cravings for sweets and random handfuls of snack foods.
I am cutting out all obvious desserts, but I will also avoid any food with more than 9g of sugar per serving. I will make ONE exception for greek yogurt since that’s one of my best sources of protein right now.
I started my crap free week day with a walk and then made breakfast. Since Ben was having eggs I wanted them too. I cooked up onions, salsa, spinach and egg beaters. Then, stuffed it all into a tortilla with avocado and ketchup. 
Plus H2O melon and iced coffee 🙂
Actually, I finished off the rest of the watermelon so I could cut the next one. I have a fresh watermelon on hand at all times when they’re in season! I don’t care how this looks, the juice is so refreshing! 
Lunch – If I don’t have nut butter for breakfast I have to have it for lunch! I made a yogurt bowl with Greek yogurt, Blueberry Vitatop and Almond Butter. Ben said this looked like dessert. I have to agree that it tasted like dessert too!
Hope you’re having a great Sunday!
HA! I really liked your blog, it is in my bookmarks. I think my site you will like it too.
Been looking for this article for long time ago and finally found here. thanks for sharing this post. appreciate!
I am quite new to wordpress. but what you write in this blog is really good and very informative. I think it will help me in the future. Thanks for the great work
Good luck with the rest of the week! I’m doing an unofficial “cut the carbs” week because that was basically all I ate for 4 days! I just can’t seem to kick my post-meal dark chocolate habit though. :/
The watermelon juice IS the best! good luck on your no crap! 🙂
What a cool idea. I need to do that. I start to feel icky after too much sugar and processed foods!
Been there, slurped like that 😉 No SHAME!
Vitatops are neccessary. I always neeed to have some onhand!
XO
I could use a CFW too! I need to kick my sugar/snack cravings in a big bad way!!
I need a CFW as well… I moved home a week ago because I just graduated from university, and let’s just say home comforts are…comforting me right now 😉 I’m the same as you – I have trouble with cereals and granola bars. I wish we got Vita Tops in Europe, but I can’t seem to find any equivalent 🙁 I love breakfast for lunch/dinner! If I have a savoury breakfast then I go sweet for the next meal without exception 🙂
Are those jalapeos on top of the pizza? Yummy! And I am a sucker for agua fresca myself…..
I like taking the bowl of watermelon juice and sucking it down too.
Vitatops are the best, although I have never eaten them with anything else.
CFW sounds like a good plan!
“If i dont have nut butter for lunch i have to have it for lunch!” hahaha! you cracked me up – bc i think you meant to say breakfast!! and that is totally something i would do!!
CRAP FREE WEEK sounds great! i drink the watermelon juice too!! do they make watermelon juice? they should. i would buy it
Some people would call this detox but Crap Free sounds so much more fun. I would have to cut out the wine too if I did CFW. boo. But probably well needed.
Yes, I’m in.
Crap free week sounds fantastic.
I’m in on the crap free week! I just got back from a week vacation at the beach and need to get on track big time! Starting tomorrow…
i seriously need to get my hands on vitatops. i still have never tried them!
and watermelon…nom nom. i’ve got different melons to start cutting up and eating!
