Today is day three on the Advocare 10 Day Challenge!
I am honestly feeling so good.
Had the curse of day two which happened to me last time.. headaches, weak feeling..
But once I pass day two I feel great and it is a breeze.
My biggest challenge is this time around is food temptation.
I have somehow or another have seven "going out" meals during the course of the ten days that I am having to plan around. Between lunches with co-workers, dinner with friends and fathers day celebrations.. it is a little ridiculous. However, I have made it through the first two of the seven.
Yesterday was a double whammy! Out to lunch AND out to dinner.. restaurants play mind games with me I swear. Portion size is tripled, fat content is quadrupled and the it just makes easier sense to "cheat" while at a restaurant. However, this girl over here made some great decisions!
Lunch: Brown Rice California Rolls (crab, avocado, cucumber, brown rice, seaweed)
Dinner: Red Robin (which is my total weakness..) chicken burger wrapped in lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and fruit instead of fries.
I was pretty stressed about getting through those two meals - being so early in a cleanse and having these temptations was pretty difficult but I did it! And waking up today, on day three, knowing I made excellent decisions the past two days was motivating and felt great.
Here is a favorite snack that I love! Apples with cinnamon sprinkled on top.
Sweet, healthy and satisfying!
Are you taking any supplements or anything else while doing the cleanse? I thought about trying it out but haven't yet. It seems to work for a lot of people!
ReplyDeleteWay to go on not cheating at Red Robin! That is definitely something to be very proud of!
ReplyDeleteWow, fantastic job staying on track while eating out! I basically just canceled anything I had scheduled because I have no will power, but I did do a team breakfast Monday where I just ate fruit. Day 2 was terrible for me but today I'm feeling great and optimistic about finishing.

Great job! I am doing the cleanse too-it is hard when it comes to eating out (which I have just avoided). Day 2 was my roughest day so far but feeling great today! The apples with cinnamon look great... I usually have peanut butter with my apple, but I may try that instead! :)
ReplyDeleteGood job at Red Robin!
ReplyDeleteSo impressed at your will power at both meals. Eating out is so hard!! Did they give you a hard time about eating with the lettuce wraps at Red Robin? I haven't been there in a long time but that sounds like a nice swap!
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower through the linkup and I just want to say...MAJOR PROPS for that self control while eating out!!! I lovvvve sushi and burgers and there's no way I could have placed those orders. I also have zero self control so that's probably why haha. Anyway, can't wait to keep reading your blog :)
ReplyDeleteHave you tried Skinny Meg's Creamy PB dip? So good and would totally work into the plan. Way to go not to cheat. Red Robin kills me too. I always want a giant burger.
ReplyDeleteIf you can pass on fries from Red Robin you can make it through anything!
