This is week 5 of my 6 Week Healthy Living Challenge. Please check out the link if you are viewing this for the first time.
Before you read below, I challenge you to watch this message given by one of my pastors at church, Troy Kennedy. It's a great message about making Jesus the center of every aspect of our lives- including our physical health!

I worked out 3 days. I'm enjoying jogging more :)
I ate salad for lunch 3 out of the 7 days... labor day weekend put me a little behind :)
Meatless day- accomplished :)
Below is this week's lunch menu:
