I have discovered that this is the time of year where i have so much going on that i simply do not have time to blog.... so as i get time, i will do a consolidated blog of whatever days i missed....
so...
here is days 1-5 of my 24 Day Challenge - Reloaded (this means my 2nd time doing it for those who did not read my previous post :)
Days 1-3 started the day with the Fiber drink. I decided to try the new flavor of Peaches and Cream, which my Coach had given me.. and i liked it.. it was a LOT smoother than the Citrus... not as fiber-ey... lol... i still prefer the citrus flavor since peach has never been my favorite, and the citrus still reminds me of extremely weak and overly pulpy orange juice... but i am sure there are tons of people who will simply love the peaches and cream... :) Days 2 and 3 i had the citrus flavor as usual...
went through my day as i have been for the last few months.... Omegaplex with breakfast and dinner ... it has become habit now... and the Herbal Cleanse tablets before bedtime.
On day 4 and 5 there is no fiber drink, just the ProBiotic caplets before eating breakfast... and my breakfast was a shake.. of course. anyone who has read any of this blog should be able to guess by now that the shake will be my breakfast for ever and ever and ever.. i just love them. today and yesterday i had 1/3 of a large banana blended into the vanilla shake mix and 1/2 full of ice then water to the top... blended in my magic bullet..... so very yummy. i bought frozen raspberries and strawberries and peaches and pineapple and mango too to start using, but figured should use up the banana before it goes bad.. lol... i do love fruit mixed in with the vanilla flavored shake..
for eating i had a snack bar for snack, morning and afternoon.... and for lunch i had a salad with some tuna from a pouch :) i think that is my biggest advantage when doing the challenge, i love salad... and it's probably one of the best meals to have for losing weight, espeically during the Cleanse phase.
dinner is a whole 'nother story....
days 1 i made fruit glazed salmon and green beans... day 2 i made a grilled chicken salad....
days 3 and 4, however, i was at gatherings where there was a lot of food to choose from... crockpot meatballs, chicken fingers from bojangles, shredded pork and shredded brisket, macaroni and cheese, sweet potato fries, and birthday cake.......
then i remembered the 80%rule..... "as long as you are 80% committed, you will get the results you want."...... personally i use the 80% rule to mean that i can have those food that aren't necessarily the best for me.... but as long as i eat them in a smart way (ie. moderate amounts) then they are ok....
and you know what? i still lost weight :)
this morning i weighed myself, and i have lost 4 more pounds already..... works for me :)
i am finding the routine easy to follow this time, especially since most of it is already habit...
i am on my way to ONEderland :)
Day 1 i decided to use my elliptical while watching an episode of Greys Anatomy.. and i have to tell ya, i surprised myself... kept going till the show ended (fast forwarding thru the commercials of course)... but i went 5 miles on the elliptical.. it felt awesome.
Day 5 i decided to do the same thing... and it felt even better this time... 5 more miles down.
