I have to say, day 8 has been my best and worst day all at once. It started off bad because I got on the scale and had only lost 1/2 pound since beginning this challenge. I am telling you... I have not cheated ONCE! I tried not to let it discourage me. Especially since my boyfriend lost 7 lbs doing the exact same thing as me. Men ... y'all suck.
The upside is that I feel GREAT and had energy and met some other goals yesterday! I had the best run I have had in years! I shaved 1:30 min off my pace and ran up every HUGE hill. After my run I went to CrossFit and kicked some booty on some power cleans and then did better than I expected on the AMRAP. A day that started out pretty crappy turned out to be very positive!!!
As for food yesterday, here's the rundown:
Breakfast started with my fiber drink (those come back for days 8-10) ... and yes, I'm still a freak and like them. I switched things up and had my apple for breakfast and my scrambled egg/egg whites with spinach as my morning snack. This kept me full until after 1.
My afternoon snack was some hummus with cucumbers and grape tomatoes. Very good. Oh, and then another Spark.
Dinner was leftover quinoa turkey meatballs over spaghetti squash with Rao's Marinara on top. So yummy and filling!
I have always lost weight in the past by counting calories, so I wanted to see just how many calories a day I was eating during this cleanse. I ate like I have been for the last week, but kept track on my LoseIt app. I wanted to make sure I wasn't eating way more than my body could burn off in a day. Yesterday I only had 1072 calories, and at least 150 of that was from Advocare supplements! It made me feel better to know that it is more likely my body in shock than me taking in too many calories. Hopefully the weight loss will catch up soon!
