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?

I FAILED!

So this is going from bad to worse! We did so bad on the dietbet neither one of us took it serious! I feel gross and weighting 187 so gained 4 lbs but feels like it is 10lbs. This week was a little better I planned my meals and really tried to stay away from bad foods. But didn't go to the gym all week and I just feel bad and I don't know what is going on. It is all mental! Was considering buying a 10-day cleanse but I feel so silly that I need to buy something to help me get back into the mindset. All I know is that I have to try on my bridesmaid dress on Nov. 22 and I AM FREAKING OUT!

I wish I could be positive and show progress but I'm just not there - and it is really just making me feel crappy.

Thursday blues.

DETOX IS OVER!

Detox is OVER!! Well is has been over since Friday night but still happy I am DONE!

Now technically it was a 7-day detox however, I decided not to finish it completely. Overall I still think it was  doable however too long! Mentally it starts to get difficult as the days go by. Day 1- Fruits all day was great for breakfast and lunch; dinner was harder and the next day I woke up feeling really drained to the point where I thought I was going to pass out. I didn't thankfully but had to really load up on the veggies that day! Surprisingly enough I enjoyed eating veggies all day because it really exposed me to other options I never really ate like squash. Day 3 was way better because I was able to eat fruit in the morning and veggies for dinner! Day 4 was the WORST!!!! 8 bananas and 8 small containers of Greek yogurt- I managed to 4.5 bananas and 2 yogurts and of course the next day I was so weak had to drink Vitamin water to help. Day 5 was pretty easy because I was finally eating chicken/turkey and 6 tomatoes. By Saturday I was checked out I was craving salads and just overall healthier foods. Overall the detox did what I was hoping it would I lost 4lbs and I started getting my body ready for more fruits/veggies.


I'm feeling great! I'm starting to notice my work clothes fitting better!! And a blazer Ashley bought me in October fully fits buttoned and all!! So yes I am feeling myself and I'm on cloud 9 with motivation !!

ownzzzzz get it gurlll 

DETOX TIME

Today is day 1 of the detox!! So I decided to do a detox this week after Teresa sent me this one. It did not look crazy like the other detoxes I have seen, it looks reasonable and doable most importantly.  So last night we went shopping and let me tell you I have never had my cart full of that much fresh food. In terms of cost it was a little bit more but not by much- so when you think it is cheaper to eat junk food instead of healthy food it probably isn't and I'm sure I could have gotten a better deal if I went to a farmer's market but anywho. I stocked up on my fruits, veggies, etc everything the detox calls for. And as day one is wrapping up- it is ending on a good note! I love fruits and it was easy for breakfast, got a little more difficult for lunch  since I'm use to eating some kind of chicken or turkey and I know dinner will be the hardest. However, I'm just going to push through!

I have never really done a detox, so first I didn't think I could do it and I don't believe I will lose 10+ pounds in 7 days like it claims. I'm doing this for a restart moment on my body.  A lot of doctors recommend some type of detox before you start eating healthy or changing up your diet and because Ashley bought me a juicer  and I will start juicing more veggies in to my meals I thought this was a perfect time! 

I think once Thursday is over I can sail right into the weekend

So bring it on!!
