What doesn't kill you makes your stronger, and that I am! I am stronger in mind, body and soul and have grown over the past 10 days to learn that I deserve better health! This song inspires me to go out and grab your dream, and don't stop working until you get it!
I didn't get the results I wanted out of the Cleanse Phase, but there are a few possible reasons, and I'm not making excuses.
1) Maybe I didn't have that much "cleansing" to do! Surprising I know because of all the "crap" I ate beforehand.
2) I have been working out 6 days/week, so I could be building muscle (which weighs more than fat).
3) After really learning more about the products and Advocare, the Cleanse Phase isn't really about losing weight. It is more of a preparation phase that rids the boy of toxins to get ready for the Max Phase.
4) I should stop comparing my results with others I've seen, since my body is different! I might not have had that much water weight to lose!
So, what were my results? Well, I only lost 1/2 pound on the scale. This doesn't mean that the system isn't working. It just means I get to look forward to some really great results in the future, and most of all, I get to continue on this journey and continue to get healthier!
I know you were all expecting AMAZING results. Honestly I was hoping too, but we will just have to stay tuned and hope for those in the next 14 days! I will tell you that Matt has had some great results and he isn't even working out (other than the run he took this morning!) He has lost 3 lbs and a Total of 3 1/2 inches over his body! Good for him! He has been a tremendous support system and I thank him and love him so much for doing this with me!
Upon Waking: Strawberry-Mango SPARK + (3) Catalyst + MNS Color Pack vitamins
Breakfast(30 minutes AFTER SPARK): Chocolate Mocha Meal Replacement Drink + MNS vitamin Packs
Mid-Morning Snack: Banana
30 minutes Before Lunch: MNS vitamins pack
Lunch: Garden Salad with grilled chicken, evoo and balsamic vinegar
Dinner: Tuna Salad on Whole Grain Toast, steamed broccoli
Exercise: Strawberry-Mango SPARK + (3) Catalyst 15 minutes prior Jillian Michaels Total Body Revolution Workout 1
Total Water Consumed: 88oz
Overall Thoughts: This was bad that I did not have at least one other snack today. The MNS Phase contains (4) vitamin packs that you take between waking up and lunch, and it contains vitamins that give you energy and also suppress your appetite. So, both of those things happened. I had a LOT of energy, but didn't feel like eating. I actually had to force the banana this morning, However, at the end of the night, my stomach is growling, and I still don't "feel" hungry, but I will probably eat to make the grumbles go away. Tomorrow I hope to be better on top of the schedule!
