Welcome to Day 5 of the Spring Into Health Lunch Challenge!
One of the great things about a challenge is it helps us stack good decisions on top of themselves and starts building our inner confidence.
You start to realize that you can have the power to make these choices.
And that they are actually easier than you thought they would be.
It just takes a small step and then another small step and, then, pretty soon you’ve made it!
Is there something you’ve always wanted to accomplish but have been too afraid to go for it?
Today is the day to bust through those walls.
Take a step towards one of your goals. I know you can do it!
…just like I know you’re gonna love our lunch today.
We have a great salad to take on Day 5 of the challenge: a Springtime Cobb with Raspberry Vinaigrette. Nom.
Before you go to prep your lunch though, I’d LOVE for you to head on over to the Take Back Your Health Community and share a goal you have that you’ve been afraid to get started on.
I’ll go first. I’ve been afraid to dive back into my gym routine after getting allergy-induced asthma. Bleh.
Anytime I get sick or have to miss for a little bit, it is just so hard to get back on track and usually takes me a few weeks to finally get in a good rhythm again.
But, today I was back in the gym and it felt great :).
See? Baby steps.
Now, it’s your turn.
Thanks so much for participating in this challenge – you’re doing great!

If you’re prepping this salad ahead of time, make sure to stack it using a quart sized mason jar, starting with the vinaigrette at the bottom, followed by the harder vegetables like the tomatoes and asparagus, keeping the more delicate greens and cheese for the top. Or you could toss it all together without the salad dressing and then drizzle it over when you’re ready to enjoy.
