Yesterday, my first day of the cleanse went well! I started my day with a shake rather than the green tea just because I'm extremely hungry first thing in the morning. I mixed my shake with water (8-10z) a scoop of chocolate shakeology and some FROZEN strawberries so it was like a chocolate strawberry icecream. Icecream for breakfast?! Who could complain? Anyways, for a late morning snack I had sliced pears with cinnamon warmed up for a minute in the microwave. Another delicious treat! I then had my cup of green tea, and while I'm not a huge green tea fan- I drank every drop! I should have had my lunch before picking my daughter up from school since it was almost 2 when I left, but the busy Mom that I am forgot about lunch! Luckily, my daughter had leftover carrots from lunch and those were able to hold me over until I had completed my errands for the day. As soon as I got home around 330, I had my second shake- the same as my first- and I was completely satisfied. I had another cup of green tea and went to do my workout- core and cardio balance. Not a good idea to workout right after downing a glass of green tea! I had to pee twice during the one workout! Still, I felt amazing and very energetic which isn't the norm for me. So again- can't complain! For dinner my husband made grilled chicken salads with tomato cucumber and onion. I added a tbsp of light Italian dressing and it was delicious. Maybe TOO filling after a day of light eating, but definitely needed! We went to my nephews pinewood derby after dinner, and upon returning home I had my third shake-- prepared the same way as the other 2.
Waking up today I didn't feel tired at all which is a BIG surprise. I also woke up and wasnt starving- another surprise. One of the side effects to the cleanse so far is having to pee a lot-- which is a good thing. So overall, so far so good.
