More on the plan can be found here
I've been thinking about trying the Shakeology cleanse for a while, and decided now was the time. I've been craving TONS of junk food lately, and it's time to get over them an back to healthy eating. If I happen to lose the 5-8 pounds most people lose, that would be okay, too. :) I'm actually excited about all this, so I know the time is right.
I'm having the salad and chicken for lunch instead of dinner. A group of us at work bring our lunches and eat together. I thought it would be easier to eat with them and have my 3rd shake for dinner. Will be drinking a ton of water, which is pretty easy for me.
I'll be posting regular updates here if you want to follow along with me.
Yesterday, prep day:
Trip to the store for green tea, salad, and fruit. Cooked some chicken in the crock pot. Divided my Shakeology into snack baggies - a scoop per bag - so I can take them to work.
Today
8am: Blended 1 scoop greenberry w/ 1/2 cup frozen berries, 1 c water, and some ice. Yum!
9am: Green tea. I found some with mandarin orange bits in the tea bag, so it was pretty tasty, too.
10:30: I mixed 1/2 scoop of greenberry with some water in my shaker cup. I plan on having another 1/2 scoop sometime this afternoon so I can spread them out a little more. Feeling good. A little munchy, but that's more of a habit I have than actual hunger.
Noon: Had my chicken and salad. Pretty tasty. Eating did make me want to eat more, so I also had a banana.
1:30: green tea
2:30: 1/2 scoop chocolate w/ the shaker cup. I miss my blender.
4:00: mmmm Yummy apple
8:00: Last shake.
Good day overall. Got a little hungry a few times, but got past it. I don't think I took enough veggies for my salad, so I'll be taking more tomorrow.
Day one is in the books!
