*10* Day 8

Breakfast

Today was rough.  Being that it's day 8, we're back to the dreaded fiber drink.  It went down ok, but I am still not a fan. Then, on my way to my car, I dropped my spark bottle-breaking it and spilling spark everywhere :( AND, I forgot my egg bake breakfast.  

Mid Morning Snack

Some more raw almonds and cashews. 

Lunch

Left over orange chicken from last night with a bunch of steamed veggies. I also had a mini-cheat when I took ONE noodle from the macaroni salad that was sitting out on in the lounge while I was heating my food.  It was SO good.   

Mid-Afternoon Snack

Carrots and red pepper hummus. 

Dinner

Crock pot salmon from the 24 day challenge recipe book.  

Green beans with a tiny bit of olive oil and fine sea salt-baked in the oven.  This is my substitute for french fries-so good. 

Evening Snack

Last night I made up a chocolate MRS with about a tablespoon of all natural peanut butter.  Then I poured it into a dish and stuck it in the freezer to make some "ice cream".  It hadn't set by the time I went to bed last night, so I was eager to try tonight.  SO YUMMY! It reminds of a malt cup that I used to get at baseball games, except way better, since there's peanut butter in there.  It was almost like eating a frozen Reeses Peanut Butter Cup….almost. 

Water Intake

Much better than yesterday.  I am still bummed about my spark, that was an additional 12oz that should have been consumed before 8am.  Oh well I guess.  I had another 25oz by the time lunch was over, 25oz by the time school was over, and another 25oz by the time I got home from tutoring.  Not too shabby.  I was definitely over my gallon goal by the time I hit the sack. 

How I felt

Pretty good.  I was up late last night, so I was sleepy this morning-plus I didn't have spark. Other than that though, nothing out of the ordinary. 

*6* Day 4

Breakfast

I'm happy to report-NO fiber drink.  Instead, we replaced it with probiotics and a Vanilla Meal Replacement Shake (MRS).  The Vanilla was really sweet and creamy.  Almost too sweet.  I blended it my Ninja blender with some ice, since our Blender Bottles haven't arrived yet.  Tomorrow I'm leaving out the ice-it didn't blend well, and I had little chunks of ice to chew with my shake. 

We also had 2 catalyst before heading out the door. 

Mid Morning Snack

Handful of almonds 

Lunch

Left over tilapia and cauliflower.  I was seriously looking forward to it all morning-it was that good! :) 

Mid-Afternoon Snack

Baby carrots and garlic hummus, with a handful of almonds and a spark. 

Dinner

I was going to do meatloaf…until I got home and realized that the only eggs we had were hard boiled.  So, I had to quickly rethink the plan.  I opted for chicken and avocado salad (from the cookbook) onto of a bed of lettuce.  It wasn't the most amazing meal, but it worked. 

Evening Snack

Baked apples with cinnamon. 

Water Intake

I wasn't quite as good about my water today-but I was VERY close to 100oz. 

How I felt

Better today than yesterday.  I'm feelin' pretty darn good actually.  We're almost half way through the cleanse.  I am just itching to get on the scale and measure to see what I am at now.  I definitely feel lighter.
