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.

These are AMAZING!!! Doubled up so I could have leftovers and am so glad I did!
Ur wonderful! Thanks!
Can you tell me how many calories for this meal? It looks amazing! 🙂
No way, I tend to stay away from counting calories
I am still learning……..can the bacon fat be substituted with something else? Is it something you can buy or do you just have it leftover from breakfast?
Made these last night and they were awesome. Paired with your spicy avocado slaw – perfect.
These rocked my world…twice! Last night for dinner and again today for lunch! I totally botched my google search, though, and ended up seasoning the meat according to your twice-baked sweet potato recipe. I was worried, but then we ate them and BOOM! Spicy goodness!
I tried this last night. Sustitutted cumin for the cayenne …I like spicey but not too much! I also added sauteed mushroom, zuchinni and peppers. Yumm!! I want to try a lot of your recipes but right now I am really trying to watch my calorie intake for weight loss. Once i’m at my goal I cant wait to try more!!!
I tried this last night and my PICKY husband loved it. CRAZY. I also loved it!!! When I saw the recipe, I didn’t think it would be that good but this is totally going on my dinner rotation. This meal is literally a winner! Healthy, delicious and low fat! I didn’t have bacon fat so I used coconut oil and it was still baller! Thank you so much for providing awesome healthy recipes! I’m new to your blog and this was my first recipe of yours. Quite impressed! I will be making more of your recipes this week!
I’m new to the paleo / primal lifestyle and saw the recipe and had to try it. it was AMAZING! even my boyfriend who isn’t on the diet loved it. will be visiting this website more often 🙂
This was amazing! Can’t wait for my leftovers! Thanks
