 Day 2, Tuesday July 14th: (2 pounds down)

6:15am: Was wide awake – that hasn’t happened for a while. Felt somewhat energetic and ready for the day.

6:45am: Did some basic Pilates moves in my bedroom, then showered.

7:30am: Made some organic oatmeal – tasted great and felt even MORE energized.

8:30am: Got dressed, relaxed, then headed to the office. On the way, had 1 rice cake (mainly to get rid of the toothpaste taste in my mouth)

9:00am: Fixed my first natural tea of the day.

11:10am: Organic spring mix salad, with diced tomatoes and other veggies. Absolutely delicious.

11:30am: Ran errands. Started to crave a coffee, but energized without it.

1:45pm: Pulled out some fruit (blueberries, pineapples, strawberries) and started to have some

2:15pm: Ate 1 rice cake. Talked to my mom on the phone for 10 minutes while she tried to convince me that 1 tall decaf latte from SBux will not break my detox.

2:45pm: Starting to feel a bit tired, and grumpy – so reheated some tea to calm down. I also went into the back room (where I have some workout equipment) and stretched out. MUCH better!

5:00pm: Ate 1 more rice cake.

6:00pm: Went to the gym, completed the following: Biceps & Back; 15 minutes on Stair Stepper, then 10 minutes on Elliptical. Was extremely worn out by the time I got to the Elliptical. I felt exhausted and just needed a pick-me-up fast.

7:30pm: Picked up a  green tea on my way to train a client.

8:00-8:45pm: Trained my client

9:00pm: Had a stir-fry of just vegetables for my late night dinner. The mixed veggies was a delicious way to end the day.

9:30pm+: Managed to have no wine, no tortilla chips, zippo while watching the All Star game

 

OVERVIEW OF THE DAY:

Overall, the day went OK – I ended up extremely exhausted at the gym which definitely upset me because I did not get in as much cardio as I had hoped. I literally could have fallen asleep on the machine. However, I do FEEL better, I feel refreshed and more focused. Skipping out on the wine and “munchies” was not as hard as I had thought. But thankfully, I was so full from the veggies that I didn’t crave anything else.
