Day 3 was awesome!

Wahoo! Day 3 was awesome! Started the day with my fiber drink mixed with spark, and a banana. Today was different in the fact that I had a training for substitutes to go to this morning at 9, and we weren't allowed to bring food or drink inside. I was really worried how I was going to do it. I still brought water in. :) But I put an ice chest in my car w/ mandarin orange spark mixed up already in a travel coffee mug, then when I got out of the meeting, I shook a packet of berry meal replacement shake into it, shook it up, then drank that. I was ready to go! I didn't eat anything else til almost 2 when I had my usual veggie soup. That meal replacement shake/spark mixture was a lifesaver. It helped me get home w/o getting low blood sugar, b/c it was a
portable easy way to get nutrition and energy in one.

Today, I didn't do any exercise on the wii or at the y, but I did vacuum a couple of rooms and cleaned up around the house. I consider vacuuming exercise because our vacuum is as big as me, and it's heavy, and is supposed to be self propelling, but it's so powerful, that it's very hard for me to manage. Got a good ab and arm workout I think vacuuming. Dinner was my chicken, zucchini, red bell peppers and brown rice. I don't eat a huge variety during the herbal cleanse, because I'm so picky, but what I eat works for me.

The other amazing thing today was that I had more energy definitely! I even took my son to swim lessons tonight, and it's been months since I've had the energy to take him there. My husband had been taking him because I was always tired and feeling bad at night. I think my second spark of the day helped me.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow, day 4, because it's when I start the probiotic and no more fiber drink for a few days! :) Easier mornings than having to measure and divide my fiber drink in half for me to get it down.! Overall today, I felt really productive! I hope tomorrow's just as productive!
