Yesterday was really hard in the afternoon on my cleanse. Only because Friday is cooking day for my class, and I was teaching them how to make Monkey Bread. Which (if you're unfamiliar) is frankly just white flour, sugar, butter, cinnamon and brown sugar. It's ewey-gooeyness and great for a breakfast treat. Of course I chose this torture BEFORE I chose to do the cleanse, and although torturous, it was a great feeling knowing that I had all-the-more reason to decline. It's not good for you in the first place, let alone on a cleanse.
Pre-workout: E2 (energy/vitamin drink), Vit C, Apple cider vinegar & Metamucil
Breakfast: Tropical Shakeology with 1/2 scoop of Whey Protein Powder, Strawberries, and green tea, with water & ice
AM Snack: none :-( Too busy
Lunch: Greenberry Shakeology with green tea, water, and 1/2 scoop of Protein powder
Snack: (starving!) Apple and some yams - should have had my 3rd shakeology, but I was at work and had NO time!
Dinner: Dinner was at 7:30pm (not good), and I was already starving! When I went to the fridge to get out the cooked chicken (from last night's leftovers), I found that my KIDS ATE THEM! URG! So I had to put on leftover ground beef. I know that we're supposed to refrain from red meat, but with hubby heading to bed at 8pm, I either had to have a blah salad (which I couldn't - I was HUNGRY!) or go with the substitute meat. NUTS!
The cleanse itself isn't hard! The only "hard" part today was I was at work for most of it, and in retail when it's busy, it's BUSY and I couldn't get back to the break room to actually MAKE the shake! I had cut up yams from the night before, so it was easy to slip a bite here and there - same with the apple. Oh well, they are fruit/veggie, so it's good.
I don't usually weigh myself during my period - it's just a bad idea. But I snuck one in....I still weigh 188.4!! (ok, the weight is still high, and it hasn't moved, but during my period, I gain/lose about 5+ lbs all in about 5-7 days. Dang water weight!) I'm really looking forward to the next weigh in, believe it or not!
I think I'm going to try to take this through Day 4. I have a feeling that hubby is going to try to take me out on a date night tonight after work, and since we haven't had one in WEEKS (!) - since Tim Hawkins in Tri-Cities - I can't say no. We're in BAD NEED of one. But maybe I can convince him to wait until MONDAY night...lol...
Workout:
Treadmill: 1 hour, 551 calories
I'm off my calorie burn goal for the week by about 600 calories. Ouch. That's because my Saturday workout wasn't as long, and I didn't workout Mon - Wed. That pre-period days really caught up with me. I'm hoping that the lack of calories during this cleanse will help offset that.
