It's another one of those times in my life where walking is my choice of exercise. With all of the stressful events in our life lately (read more about that here), it has been almost all I can handle. I've been to the gym a few times over the last few weeks but my main source of movement has been walking. There are tons of trails near where we are temporarily living so I've been exploring them (you can find many of them on my Instagram and/or Snapchat (hesheeatclean))!

Last summer I shared a walking challenge but this one a little different. Last time I didn't specify the number of miles but this time I decided to give you an actual mileage goal. If you don't want that sort of commitment, you can certainly do the other walking challenge! Here is a link to get that challenge!

There are so many benefits to walking...you can practically do it anywhere, you can make it as easy or as hard (hills, etc.) as you want, it's mind clearing, and it's cheap! So, go get to walking!


This challenge was designed to be something that you do in addition to your normal workout (which is hopefully one of our workout plans!). We have 4, 6, and 12-week workout plans for all fitness levels! This is also totally customizable based on your fitness level, you walk as much or as little as you would like.

Protein Packed Breakfast Sandwich

Protein Packed Breakfast Sandwich | He and She Eat Clean

OBSESSED. That's the best word to describe how I feel about this recipe. We've been making it for the last few weeks. It all started when we were in Chicago for the World Series with Scott's sister and brother (Go Cubbies!). We ate breakfast one morning at Chick-Fil-A. We never eat out for breakfast, and don't eat out that much in general, as you can tell from our weekly updates so I was so intrigued about this breakfast muffin I saw on their menu. Don't get me wrong, I love a good original chicken biscuit or sandwich from time to time but didn't want one this particular day. I ordered this new (or at least new to me) sandwich called the Egg White Grill. I feel in love at first bite. I ordered mine without cheese...I'm not against cheese but I honestly don't love cheese. Now, put a bowl of cheese dip in front of me and I can demolish it but I'm not a big fan of cheese on sandwiches or just eating blocks of cheese.

Once we got home I wanted to re-create it ourselves but after that trip (well, and before) was when our lives were basically out of control. We had a lot of VERY STRESSFUL things going on, including my aunt being in the hospital. I didn't have another one of those breakfast sandwiches until January when we went to Chick-Fil-A just to get one to try and recreate it. Ever since then, we've made them almost every week (as I've shared on Snapchat and Instagram!). Since I've only had the Egg White Grill twice, I'm no expert on how it really compares exactly but I would say that our version is pretty tasty!

Clean Eat Recipe: Protein Packed Breakfast Sandwich

Ingredients:

  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • Pure Orange or Tangerine Juice (look at the ingredients and select one without added ingredients!)
  • Montreal Steak Seasoning
  • English Muffins (we use Ezekiel English Muffins, which you can find in the frozen section of most grocery stores)

Directions:

  • How to prepare the chicken:
  1. Butterfly the chicken breasts.
  2. Marinate in citrus juice. We pour juice in the bottom of a glass dish and then place the butterflied chicken breasts in the juice. We also rub the chicken with Montreal Steak Seasoning.
  3. After the chicken has marinated (it doesn't really matter how long, we normally let it marinate for 45 minutes to a few hours), place on hot grill and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the middle.
  • How to prepare the entire breakfast sandwich:
  1. Cook 1-2 egg whites using an egg ring (or the lid of a mason jar!)
  2. Toast the English muffin
  3. Put the grilled chicken, egg, and cheese (optional) on the toasted English muffin and enjoy!

One question: How is it March 2017 already?! I don't know about you but I love wall sits. I used to incorporate them as active rests in a lot of my workouts but over the last few months I wasn't doing them. I started adding them back and decided the everyone should love them as much as I do. ;-)

This challenge was designed to be something that you do in addition to your normal workout (which is hopefully one of our workout plans!). We have 4, 6, and 12-week workout plans for all fitness levels!

Confused about what a wall sit is? It is exactly as it sounds and here's how to do it:

  1. Stand with your back flat against a wall.
  2. Walk your feet out so that when you sit down your legs are bent at a 90-degree angle. Your feet will likely be about two feet in front of you and about 6-8" apart.
  3. Slide your back down the wall to sit in your invisible chair. This is where your legs should be at a 90-degree angle. Your knees should be straight above your ankles.
    • Your feet should be flat on the ground, and your back and shoulders should be flat against the wall. Hold your stomach in the entire time you are in the wall sit position.
  4. Stay in this position for the desired time.

If you are advanced and this is too easy for you, you can double or triple each day. If this is too difficult, cut the time down and work your way up. This challenge is totally customizable based on your fitness level.
