Here's a recap of the last 3 days.
Starting weight: 120 lbs.
I'm slightly embarrassed that I let myself get back to this point, but I guess on the bright side, I'm still much lighter than I was at this same time last year. Considering that I'm only 4'11", this is pretty high for my stature. Ideally, I'd like to be at 110lbs. I think that's a reasonable amount of weight to want to lose. Last year when I ended the challenge, I was down to 113lbs and was pretty happy with that, but I know that I can do better.
I didn't do any measurements/pictures this time around because I didn't remember to do it before we started. Oops!
Day 1
This time around, we decided to do the peaches and cream fiber drink instead of the citrus. I was able to get the citrus one down without a problem last time, but it was still pretty rough with all of the grittiness. The peaches and cream is much smoother and if you have a texture issue at all, I highly recommend you go with that.
Breakfast: Fiber drink and egg scramble (8 egg whites, 2 yolks, red pepper, green onion, black pepper, basil, oregano-baked in muffin tins at 350 until cooked through)
Snack: Baby carrots
Lunch: Salad with grape tomatoes and lite balsamic vinaigrette
Snack: Celery and All Natural Peanut Butter
Dinner: Marmalade curry chicken in the crockpot from the Advocare Cookbook, Green beans
Snack: Raw Almonds
Day 2
Breakfast: Fiber drink and an apple (I'll admit, I threw up about 1/2 of the fiber drink after downing it)
Lunch: Left over curry chicken
Snack: Raw Cashews
Dinner: Baked Tilapia with dill sauce, cauliflower "rice", steamed asparagus
Snack: Mocha meal replacement shake with a small scoop of peanut butter
(I was craving something sweet and this satisfied that craving)
Day 3
Breakfast: Fiber Drink (yay-last time until day 7!) and egg scramble
Snack: Baby carrots and hummus
Lunch: Left over Tilapia and asparagus
Snack: Raw Almonds
Dinner: Cilantro Lime Chicken in the crockpot on whole wheat tortillas with fresh avocado and a little plain greek yogurt (in place of sour cream)
Snack: Raw Cashews
Thoughts
Overall, this cleanse seems SO much harder this time around than it did last year. I keep reminding myself that it's only for 10 days and that I can do anything for 10 days. It definitely makes me appreciate healthy snacks more than ever. I'm getting bit tired of eating carrots and celery. What I would give to have a handful of lentil chips! We're really focused on keeping carbs out of our diet as much as possible. We've been good though-no cheating!
Only 7 more days-we can do this!!
