Follow Through Friday- Day 3 of the AdvoCare Cleanse

IT IS FRIDAY & I FEEL GREAT!!! I'm in such a great mood- it is sunny and Friday and I have lost 2lbs since I started the cleanse!! 

I can say that it is definitely doable to eat clean however it is such a mental game! This week I got a job offer in NYC (currently living in Baltimore) this means I will be moving in with my parents until late summer (will need  Xanax). I'm super happy and excited for this next chapter but cue in emotional roller coaster since I found out. I'm mostly in disbelief and going through the motions- I have 2 weeks until I make the move and start the new job. I have to say bye to people and hang out with a lot of friends which MEANS A LOT OF TEMPTATION DURING THIS CLEANSE!! I know worse timing ever because everyone wants to do dinner and drinks which I want to do but I want to do this cleanse. Last night was my first test- I went out to dinner and before I got there I picked out my meal which was the skinny salad with chicken (mixed greens, cucumber, and tomato) and then a side of sweet potato fries (counts as a good carb right? ) however I took a small handful then stopped eating them and ordered no alcohol. I think that was the first time I have ever ate that clean when I was out. Of course the fries and the 2 tablespoon of balsamic vinaigrette dressing isn't allowed but I'm not going to sweat the small stuff; overall the meal was healthy and I'm really proud of myself for doing it. 

I didn't workout this week at all- I am hoping to run tonight and this weekend. Overall I'm feeling good especially because the fiber drink is over until day 8 (so gross) 

Goals for next week- 

1. Continue on the cleanse avoid temptations- remember "How bad do I want it"
2. Go to boot camp 3 days (specifically the 5:30am class)

Advocare Cleanse Day 1

After some delivery debacle I finally received my advocare package and  I was so excited!! until I realized the cleanse didn't come with the Spark mix for energy! I was totally bummed I didn't read the packaging correctly or look into more of the add-ons but I will just do the best I can without the Crack juice (Spark).

Monday and Tuesday I started to mentally prepare and make changes; so instead of getting crispy chicken salad from UNO I did grill and tried more veggies for dinner. Tuesday was a lot cleaner until I got great news and decided to celebrate with pasta and a giant glass of wine.

The cleanse officially started today! And the citrus fiber drink woooo NASTYYYYYY

Literately my face this morning 

Almost threw up (because I'm that dramatic) but all I kept saying is "skinny Gigi- you can do this" and well I did as painful as it was and how late it made me!

I meal prepped last night but don't have enough containers to do it for a week so just did it for the day but made enough food for a few days.

SO PROUD OF MYSELF- LOOKS OFFICIAL

Breakfast: 2 mini egg white muffins with tomato and yellow pepper & 1/2 cup of black beans
Snack 1- 1/4 avocado with 1/2 of blueberries and raspberries
Lunch- 5oz of chicken breast lightly seasoned with 1/2 cup of brown rice and 1 cup of broccoli and carrots steamed
Snack 2- apple with 2 tablespoon of almond butter
Dinner- 4 slices of turkey breast and 1/2 cup of broccoli and carrots steamed and a mini cucumber

Now my dinner is super wack but I'm working my other job tonight (Banana Republic) so I couldn't get creative just something I can eat during my 15 minute break

The hardest part is no caffeine I'M ADDICTED! so crack spark juice would have come in handy. I might have to do a green tea later on today but so far I think this is doable.. except the moment of weakness I had when I grabbed a mini Twixx and chewed half of it and spit it out HAHAH

This is a mental game- and I have to tell myself every day- morning, afternoon and right before I go to bed

HOW BAD DO I WANT IT?

JUST ORDERED MY ADVOCARE

Have been in a DEEP weight loss rut! Last week was my 24th birthday and some of the pictures were great and some (after I got my hair cut ) were a little "ewww why does my face look so round maybe because I have been stuffing my face since December" and since I'm really trying to be in a positive mind set with all aspects of my life I ended my pitty party today and ordered my advocare detox!

 I'm super scared/excited! Post on my game plan to come soon!!!

HAPPY WEDNESDAY!!!
