Advocare Cleanse, Day 3

Well here we are, day 3 of the cleanse.  I think day 1 was the hardest.  WHY....because I am  control freak and the whole, telling me what I HAVE to eat and what I CAN'T drink, was always in the back of my mind,.  Now had I been the one to say, I am going to stop drinking wine and only eat clean for 10 days, I doubt I would have been such a baby!  Oh well, I am who I am. :)

So day one was hard in the morning just because I was so scared of that damn fiber drink.  I am now mixing it with half water/half trop 50.  I actually like it now.  But I am one that LOVES really pulpy oj.  I stir it like a tornado and chug.  Before I leave for work I cook up some egg whites and eat those.  When I get to work it is my yummy old fashioned oats and blackberries. I don't use any milk.  For my mid-morning snack I have been eating PB2 and a banana or half an apple and PB2.  I used to always think the whole pb and banana thing was gross, not anymore.  LOVE. IT. I also keep raw almonds in my desk.  For lunch I have been having either a salad with turkey taco meat and a shit ton of veggies with salsa as a dresing.  OR....I have the taco meat with a sweet potato and cinnamon and some string beans.  I think I will have chicken with a sweet potato and veggie today.  Dinner last night was blackened tilapia, roasted cauliflower, brown rice and some salad.  Dressing was just salsa.  I added some cherry tomatoes and cucumber.  My hubby is eating what I eat and really enjoying it.  We are both amazed at how full we feel.

Ok speaking of filling full....OMG THE F*CKING GAS from this cleanse.  Yes, I am going there  Umm...wtf?!?!?!  I am peein like a race horse but cannot go number 2, to save my life.  I am drinking a TON of water, as I do normally, but nothing.  I tell you what, gas hit me at about 4:00 yesterday, AT WORK!  So having to hold all that in, made me look oh....about 5 months pregnant.  I had a serious pooch going on.  I warned my hubby, if I fall asleep on the couch and you smell something, it's the cat! :)  I woke up feeling less bloated and a bit lighter.  I pray that some "movement" happens today.  But watch I will be the only person to ever do the cleanse that doesn't poo!

I have kept my workout routines the same.  I still feel great and energized. Speaking of energy, I got some spark.  LOVE IT!!!  It is so yummy.  And it doesn't taste all artificial.  My hubby made the mistake of trying it at about 6:30 last night. He had it after his 30-day shred.  He said he was up until 3. OOPS!  Note to hubby, take during the day!  I am on week 4 of ripped in 30, btw.  WOW, she is a real biotch in this one!  She works you out for real!  I was a sweaty pig last night.  I am still doing one day shred, the next day ripped and so on.  And I incorporate my kickboxing and tabata.  Vaca starts in 3 weeks from Saturday! WOO-HOO!!!

As far as taking measurements. I chose not to do this.  Well actually I forgot at first and then I got the whole bloated belly, so I said f*ck it!  I am not doing this for weightloss anyway.  I really just want to rid my body of all the toxins.  But...if I can't go to the bathroom, ummm....yeah.  I will just go by how my clothes fit come day 10. 

I have date night with the hubby and friends this Saturday.  I kind of dread the whole, what will I eat.  We are going for Mexican.  I think I will get fajitas and just eat the veggies and chicken.  I will avoid the chips at all cost.  We shall see how I do.  But like I said before, if I fall off the wagon for a bit, I am NOT going to beat myself up. :)

Above is one of my favorite snacks so far.   I took a cup of frozen peaches, some cinnamon and chopped walnuts.  I zapped this in the microwave until nice and warm and it was SO FREAKING GOOD.  I felt like I was having something that was really bad for me, but it wasn't.  So healthy and tasty.  When the cleanse is over, I will continue to make this.  I will just top it with frozen vanilla Greek yogurt. :)

I hope all of you that are doing the cleanse are hanging in there.  Sorry for all the TMI, I am just trying to keep it real. :)

Happy Hump Day!!
