Day 2

It's Day 2. This AM, again, I had no problem with my fiber drink. Here's my secret to help me get it down easier. I divide the mix in half. Then I make a spark and divide it in half. So I have a 1/2 glass of spark, and put 1/2 of the fiber drink mix in there, stir it up, drink it as fast as I can. Usually at the bottom, is a little thick stuff, so I add a little more water to get that down. Then I repeat w/ the other 1/2 glass of spark and fiber drink mix. In between the two, I drink a little water and wait a minute to give myself time to get it down. It's hard for me to chug 8 ounces of a drink, so it helps me to divide it into 2 parts.

The chocolate craving has come.... this is the hardest part for me I think, but I'm going to make it!!! I'm going to resist! When I do resist, I find that by the end of the 10 day Herbal Cleanse, that the craving is gone. Last time, I did the Herbal Cleanse, I cheated though, and ate my dove dark chocolate squares, my same ole habit of eating one after lunch and one after dinner, but this time, I'm NOT going to give in!

For breakfast, I had my fiber drink mixed with spark. Then I exercised a little on Wii Fit Plus. Then I had a banana. A couple hours later, I was heading out to take Forrester somewhere so I needed a filling snack that would last me, so I made a Berry Meal Replacement Shake by Advocare. Lunch was my special veggie soup w/ some whole grain egg noodles in it.

I'm feeling a little more sluggish today than yesterday. But overall, I think I'm doing well sticking with the eating plan and herbal cleanse. My body's definitely getting rid of the junk. I think doing at least a Herbal Cleanse even if you don't do the whole 24 day challenge, helps you get your body back to normal again. It's definitely what I needed after all the horrible eating I've done most of this summer. Now, I'm cleaning my body out of all that junk I ate. It's a great feeling, and I know I'll feel so much better physically and mentally after this. I'll feel better about myself. It's been awhile since I've done it, but I used to do it after the holidays, in January, when you're done with all that eating from Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Made me a yummy dinner of sauteed zucchini and red bell peppers with garlic- two veggies I like, with some grilled chicken and brown rice.

I might be wrong, but I think I've lost a pound already. We'll see! :) Tomorrow, I think I'm going to drink a spark right before lunch to keep me going the rest of the afternoon. I'm definitely more sluggish today and think I need more spark. Of course, it doesn't help that I'm staying up so late either-lol. I do think day 2 was a success though! I didn't succumb to any cravings!
