Update

Hi everyone!

     I decided to stop blogging at Day 10 because I was going to keep the same routine with eating, but just putting the supplements into my diet now. I cheated on my healthy eating over the weekend. I just needed a break. I weighed myself today and didn't gain but a pound back. Still feeling full of energy! :)

Day 10 of 24

Hi everyone!

    Today had been a good day so far. I am down 1 more pound. I know in not supposed to be weighing everyday, but I just can't help it haha! Hope everyone has a great weekend :). 

Meals: 

Breakfast: Fiber drink and protein shake

Snack: Apple and raw almonds 

Lunch: Chicken with spring mix and balsamic 

Snack: Homemade popcorn with a hint of sea salt

Dinner: It was cheat night! ;) 

Day 9 of 24

Hi everyone!

     So far so good today. Feeling more energy every day now. Although I feel quite tired today, and have to work my second job tonight. I couldn't help but weigh myself today. I am down 2 more pounds. Since January I am down 17lbs! The new jeans I bought a few weeks back are starting to feel lose. I even got them in a size smaller. Can't believe I am down 1.5 inches in my stomach. That's my biggest problem area because I have cortisol issues. Cortisol is a hormone that stores in certain places like your tummy and thighs that stores fat. It also have to do with adenral fatigue, which I have. I always tell people to learn about adrenal fatigue, which I truly believe 95% of people have. 

Meals: 

Breakfast: Fiber drink and AdvoCare peotein shake

Snack: Apple 

Lunch: Small spring mix salad, peppers, tomatoes, peas, and orange vingerette dressing. Also a veggie sushi roll. 

Snack: Greek yogurt (plain)

Dinner: Sautéed peppers and zucchini with grilled chicken 

Snack: Raw pepper, cucumber, and hummus 

Day 8 of 24

Hi everyone!

    So I have some exciting news! I took my measurements this morning and I am down a whole inch everywhere (thighs are half an inch both), and my stomach is down 1.5 inces! That is a total of 7 inches! Although I'm not seeing a dramatic change yet in weight (I do have 2 weeks left on the cleanse), I'm seeing it in my figure. I would rather see it and feel it, then look at weight per say. 

Skin update: My skin looks awesome as of today! I have almost all of my bad breakouts cleared up, and my skin have a beautiful glow to it. Also the oil production in my skin seems to have calmed down too! Also, I am noticing my cellulite decreasing on my legs. Cellulite can store many toxins in your body. I am so happy I'm flushing all the toxins out! 

Meals: 

Before breakfast: Sparks shake 

Breakfast: Vegan protein shake 

Snack: Apple 

Lunch: Salad with chicken, tomatoes, and balsamic 

Snack: Greek plain yogurt with raw almonds 

Dinner: Sautéed peppers, zucchini, and sqush mixed in with romaine lettuce, grilled chicken, tiny bit of salsa and cheese

I won't lie to you I ate some chocolate last night. It was my first craving in a week. 

Day 7 of 24

Hi guys! 

    So sorry I didn't post Day 7 blog until today. I was super busy with my two jobs yesterday. Just wanted to say that everything has stayed about the same. The routine of the challenge has gotten easier every single day. I've been taking some pictures of myself every couple of days, and I cannot believe the difference I see already in my tummy and hips! :) 

Meals: 

Breakfast: AdvoCare protein shake

Snack: Apple and almonds 

Lunch: Spring mix, chicken, and balsamic 

Dinner: Grilled chicken and rice 

Day 6 of 24

Hi everyone!

     I hope everyone is having a great Monday so far. My challenge is going great so far! I just wanted to share that I took some pictures of myself on Day 1, and took some pictures last night on Day 5. I can't believe how less bloated I look in my stomach!! I'm going to try and workout 4 days this week by doing the elliptical for 30 minutes per session. So far the challenge is going great!

Meals:

Breakfast: AdvoCare Protein Shake

Snack: Apple

Lunch: Spring mix, tuna, and balsamic. A handful of raw almonds and 3 slices of honeydew

Snack: Plain Greek yogurt 

Dinner: Turkey taco salad. Romaine lettuce leaves chopped up into bite size pieces, ground turkey, tiny bit of salsa/cheese, and sautéed zucchini and yellow pepper. It was delicious! 

Snack: Chocolate chunk KIND bar

Day 5 of 24

Hi everyone!!

    I am feeling really good today. I'm going to start working out on the elliptical from now on. I figured I would give the first few days on the cleanse a nice rest as my body was detoxing. Today I decide to somewhat treat myself since it is Sunday! I decided to get a good workout in so I can enjoy the healthy eggplant parm with quinoa pasta I am going to make for dinner :). We also did our Sunday grocery shopping today. I decided to add a picture to show you exactly what I bought today for the week. 

Today's Meals:

Before breakfast: Watermelon Sparks

Breakfast: Protein shake and probiotic supplement packet 

Lunch: 2 rolls of Cali Sushi Roll with a touch of soy sauce

Snack: Apple 

Day 4 of 24

Hi everyone! 

    So today I am feeling great! I weighed myself today, and I am down 2.5lbs. I am so pumped! Today is day 4, and instead of the cleanse drink to have with breakfast, I will be taking the probiotic supplement. I am drinking another brand of protein shake so I don't run out of my AdvoCare shakes (they only give you 14). I have to say that it feels really good knowing I can stick to a great meal plan, and see results. Once you get the hang of eating, and grocery shopping for healthy foods it becomes easier and easier. Last Decemeber is when I made a 180 with my eating habits, and started to eat healthy! The process of changing my food now for the challenge, was simple for myself. I used to treat myself on the weekends, but I'm staying strict with myself on the challenge. Since August 2011 I am down a total of 26 pounds. As of this year I am down a total of 16 pounds. I truly believe in taking the weight off slowly so it won't come back. I have maintained my weight loss for 11 months now, and just really wanted something to push me a bit more to get to my goal weight. I wanted to lose a total of 30lb this year, and to keep it off. I only have 14 more to go, and I hope I can reach my goal when I am done with my challenge. :)

Day 3 of 24

Hi everyone!

     So today seems to be a better day! I'm so proud of myself for not cheating at all in 3 days of this cleanse. My stomach feels much better today as well. Although I had a bit of a headache yesterday and today, but I think it was a mix of the detox and allergies. Towards the end of the day today, I started to get a bit annoyed. I think it was because I was hungry, and tired from work. Tomorrow is weigh in day yay! :)

Meals: lots of water with each meal and between each meal

Breakfast: Sparks, 30 minutes later drank fiber drink, followed by protein shake. 

Snack: Honeydew and plain Greek yogurt 

Lunch: Small spring mix salad, drizzled with balsamic, and 2 pieces of grilled chicken, and side of green beans, zucchini, and asparagus

Snack: Apple 

Dinner: Smoked chicken, side of veggies, and grilled potatoes. We went out to dinner, and this was my healthy option, since it was a bbq smokehouse! :) 

Day 2 of 24

Hi everyone! 

    So today is day 2 of my challenge. Yesterday ended with a success, and I didn't cheat once! I did feel tired this morning when I woke up today. The spark drink helped with that! Today my stomach feels a little off, but that could be due to the crazy amount post nasal drip I have going on. *Update: Felt better as day went on! I have already walked 2 miles today, and chasing a 2 year old all day for your job gives you a workout as well. I am totally loving the mocha protein shakes. They are delicious. I'll keep you all updated at the end of my day, and let you know how today goes! So far so good! 

Meals: 

First got up: Thyroid medication andadenral  medication 

30 minutes later: Sparks energy drink 

Breakfast: Fiber drink and protein shake 

Snack 3 hours later: Plain Greek yogurt and honey dew slices 

Late Lunch: Spring mix, tuna, balsamic vinegar dressing, pinch Celtic sea salt, pinch pepper, and orange. Drank 24 ounces of water as well.

Dinner: Lime and basil marinaded grilled chicken breast, asparagus, zucchini, and green beans. All veggies were grilled using Celtic sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and coconut oil. 

Late night snack: One medium (size of golf ball) tomato and small Courtland apple 

Day 2: Workout listed below. My favorite thing to do is walk the little boy I nanny for in his stroller. Pushing a stroller is extra weight added to your regular walking. Today we walked and did some errands as well.

Favorite products so far:

Sparks (OMG the energy from this is amazing! It's equal to one cup of coffee, without the crash after. I felt a bit shaky after drinking. This is because I have not had any caffeine from a beverage in almost a year!)

Mocha Protein Shake: Taste is amazing. Sweeter than I thought it would be, but delicious! I want more! 

Workout for today: I have posted a picture below of my workout summary for today. I use an app called RunKeeper on my iPhone. It is amazing and free! It also paused half-way through my walk, and I didn't realize for 20 minutes! 

So far it is halfway through my day, and I feel awesome. I have not crashed yet, or had any tummy issues. 

Please advice that I am to fully following the first 10 day cleanse meal. I have been eating healthy for almost a year, and wanted to stick to my normal eating plan to keep my weight off. The first 10 days suggests no carbs.
