Day Two
Measurements: 122.8 lbs Waist 25.5" Thigh 18" Hips 34" Bust 32.5"
(Down 2.8 lbs, down 0.5" in waist, down 0.5" in thigh, down 1" in hips, and down 2.5" in bust. This is mostly attributed to day-one water weight loss, not actual fat or toxins just yet. But with the hot yoga sweating, combined with 13 glass of water, this is a pretty typical day-two discovery.)
- I skipped the calcium+D supplement, iodine/potassium and a Gingko Biloba today. Simply because I forgot. According to the FitBit, I slept at 94% efficiency...which is the most efficient sleep I've had since I got the thing. This is likely due to not having wine before bed, which I was doing for a while.
- Took two Catalyst capsules with water, first thing upon getting to work.
- One glass of grape Spark. Visit this link to see how to drink your Spark properly.
- 30 minutes after the Spark is gone, protein shake that consists of 1 1/3 cups water (forgot my almond milk at work), 1/3 cup regular skim milk, 2 scoops peanut butter/chocolate-flavored whey protein (Wal-Mart), 1 TB Ovaltine chocolate powder (Target) and 1/2 banana. Calories: 338
- NOTE: TODAY, there was entire box of Swedish pastries in the breakroom...cheese and apple danishes, strawberry and blueberry danishes, pecan brown sugar rolls, and all sort of other goodies. I declined again...but I did put one of the cheese danishes in the freezer. Saving it for 23 more days? lol
- Right after breakfast, the Fiber Drink. Visit this link to see how to take your Fiber properly.
- Drink water, water, water. TODAY, I actually decided to use my coffee mug to drink my water. This will require me to get up at least 8 times to fill it, adding more "steps" to my day, as well as requiring me to get up and move after an hour of sitting at my desk.
- Shortly after breakfast, I take a multivitamin.
- Today I had a doc appointment that left me stressed out (aka, sans appetite). However, it's important to eat when on a cleanse. Due to the adrenaline coursing through me with the stress, I skipped the Catalyst before lunch. You can also take it later in the afternoon...basically, any time 30 minutes before or 1-2 hours after a meal.
- Lunch was going to be a cup of raw cauliflower, a cup of baby carrots, and about two TB of white bean and basil hummus, as well as a Boost shake for protein, since I forgot to bring an egg white omelet. Boost is a good meal-replacement option, not only because of the protein/vitamins/minerals, but because it's designed for diabetics (aka, it has super low sugar, and will keep your glucose levels even...an important factor in any sort of weight loss or metabolism, which you can read more about in Tim Ferriss's "The Four-Hour Body"). However, our office had leftover deli sandwiches from a visiting guest, so I removed the bread of one and just ate the lettuce, tomato slice, turkey and mustard. I had this with a side of mixed raw fruit.
- Afternoon snack of 1 TB dried cranberries, the rest of the almonds (14 nuts) and a red delicious apple.
- Workout after work consisted of ....
- Dinner was difficult, as I had a work event. So I did "cheat" a little, and had a dirty martini and a couple of small pieces of fried chicken and coleslaw. With my dinner, I took my Omega complex capsules. Due to the length of the event tying me up all night, I did not get my 10,000 steps in either. However, when it comes to calories and steps taken, my goal is to meet my weekly goals. In fact, zig-zagging calories is actually good for metabolism because it keeps your body guessing. If you eat very little every body, your body thinks you're starving and stops burning as much. And if you run every day, your body thinks you're going to use up all of your energy, so it causes you to burn less calories during that exercise over time. Therefore, it's okay to switch things up a couple of times per week.
- Before bed, I take my cleanse capsules, 1 Valerian root, 2 Glucosamine Chondroitin and go to bed. Tonight, I added in a Sleepytime Extra tea with a dash of red wine for relaxation.
Thoughts from the Day:
- I wish I would have been on perfect behavior, but you can't look odd at social functions either by pulling a snobby, "Oh, I can't eat that this week" card. You just do what you can, eat what is provided, and do the right thing the next day. The only way to win the race is to ALWAYS get back on the horse.
- I also should have drink more water. I maybe got 5 glasses in today instead of at least 8. Then again, I got 13 glasses yesterday. So over a week, it sort of evens out.
