So, get this. I did not come up with the ‘Clean it up Mondays’ idea. It was actually the boyfriend. He mentioned that I should do something similar to The Chive. He’s obsessed with that website. Along with every other male on this planet who likes to look at half naked selfie shots that women send in. You sluts, you. JUST KIDDING. Work with what you got. Anywho, his idea was to have certain days that I post certain things. Like how The Chive has hump day pictures that show half naked chicks. Well, since I don’t have half naked chick pictures to post, I thought doing something on Monday to make us healthier would suffice. And since so many of us real people tend to fall off the wagon a bit during the weekend, he thought Mondays would be a great day to post a recipe that would help you (and me) clean up our eating habits. GENIUS. He’s the greatest.
Now, Clean it up Monday also includes working out. If you haven’t joined a gym yet or started working out on your own, hopefully these Clean it up Mondays will help you out. What’s that you say? You can’t afford a gym? Don’t you worry. I know a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy, that posts new workouts daily, all workouts you can do at home on your own. That’s not true, I know the owner and he’s wonderful. And he’s ready to get you fit in your own household. And the best part of all, it’s FREE. So if you go onto Bodeefit.com, you’ll be greeted with a new email daily, telling you what workout you’ll be doing AND how to do it all with videos. Pretty rad.
Ok, enough about working out. KIDDING, LET’S TALK ABOUT MORE. Do you already workout on your own so you’re bored with this entire conversation? Well, perfect. Instead, let’s talk about some new workout songs to add to your collection. Here are some of my new favorites right now:
- I miss the misery by Halestorm
- Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke
- It’s Time – Kat Krazy Remix by Imagine Dragons
- Next to Me – James Egbert Remix by Emeli Sande
- Collide – Afrojack Remix by Leona Lewis
- Come & Get It by Selena Gomez
- Can’t Hold Us by Macklemore
- Ray Ban Vision by A-Trak
- Anything by Jason Derulo
- Anything by Avicii
Now go listen to delightful music tunes. While you’re working out. Create a happier and healthier new you.
Ok, I’m annoyed with this over-the-top happiness.

Yum…and thanks for introducing me to the chive. What a glorious website. My second favorite (after this one of course)
These look amazing! We just got a grill so am totally thinking I can toss these on there to cook. Yum!
I have made something similiar when I used to eat Baked Potatoes!-Yummo sweet potatoes!!-
Adios, Juli!!-
Melissa
I make your twice baked sweet potatoes from your book all the time! I love it! These look awesome too 🙂
I happen to have a pound of ground turkey hanging out in the fridge – imagine that! Guess I found our supper recipe…
I do too– I was thinking of stuffed peppers, but this looks like a good change of pace!
Firstly, those sweet potatoes look amazing. Secondly, you have ruined my excuse of “I can’t afford crossfit anymore”…which leads to “if I’m not doing Crossfit, there is no reason to deal with being paleo anymore…” Thanks for that. (I mean that only kinda sarcastically)
Yums. We have this at least once a week but topped with some fresh salsa and avocado.
your sweet potato recipes always make me drool!! I’ve been on a no starch paleo diet for 10 months now and I told myself If I was healed by 1 year, I could try a sweet potato. well, i’m still pretty sick so it will be a while. but when I can have them, i’m starting with all your sweet potato recipes!! for now, I just have to salivate at the screen.
Hi Julie,
I’ve tried on a few occasions to open the Bodeefit site whenever you’ve mentioned it, but it always tells me that the website is down. Is it the site or perhaps my computer?
Love your cookbook btw! I haven’t eaten a salad in a month!
i think so because i’ve never come across that issue or heard of that before. try googling it and finding the website that way, maybe it will work
Totally making this tonight, but with a ground beef and some other veggies to throw into the mix. The kitchen sink in a sweet potato is probably what it’s going to end up being. Thanks for sharing!
