Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse: Day Two Blog

Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse – DAY TWO
DAY TWO WEIGHT: 131.6 LBS.

Friends, I have managed to make it through DAY TWO of my Shakeology cleanse.

Today was a bit of a challenge.  I had to trek downtown to have my TB test read (negative!  Yay!).  I met up with a friend of mine – the friend of mine whom I like to go out to eat with.  Seriously, every time we’re together we go have lunch or froyo (frozen yogurt) or some other delicious treat.  We couldn’t do that today, which was unfortunate, as we were amongst the smells of pizza and cheeseburgers.  Oy.  It was torturous.

In all honesty, though, today wasn’t that bad at all.  Of course, I wanted to indulge in some beloved pizza or other fatty foods, but I did not want to cheat on my cleanse.  It’s hard to resist temptation at times, but if you’re dedicated enough, you won’t blink an eye.  One of the reasons I’m doing this cleanse is to prove to myself that I can do it – it’s only three days and I am not ridiculously starving throughout the day.  My shake, snacks, and dinner all provide me with adequate nutrition and though I am not necessarily full, I am satisfied. 

I can’t say that I notice much of a difference compared to every other day.  I know I’m a little bit more tired, but there’s a multitude of reasons as to why that may be (avoidance of studying for my final, for example).  I’m peeing a lot less than yesterday, but still peeing a lot.  My stomach has remained satiated and I have been drinking my water as needed.  I also discussed today with someone else who is going through the cleanse, and we are on the same page with things: not really hungry, feeling pretty good, feeling energized.

OH!  And in case you didn’t catch it above, I have dropped 1.4 lbs since yesterday!  I am back to the weight I was on Sunday, which is great!  I admit I was disappointed to start off the cleanse as 133, but as someone pointed out, I have still lost some weight.  I am curious to see if the weight will stay off.  I am also excited to see what my final weight will be on Friday.  I am hoping to get to at least 130.0 lbs., but anything under will do!

I want to add that I actually look forward to having my shakes.  I’ve mentioned in previous posts that I have a sweet tooth, so the shake actually satisfies my sweets craving.  That’s another reason why this cleanse has been going well – whatever I am ingesting tastes good!  … Except for the green tea.  I’m not a fan of tea, but I am learning to tolerate it.  Maybe one day, I will learn to love it – or at least like it.

I left you with a photo of myself sipping my last shake of the day.  Today, I have a photo of my salad.  It’s comprised of two cups of “Les Salades du Midi – Spring Mix” from Trader Joe’s, 2 tablespoons of the Sesame Soy Vinaigrette from Trader Joe’s, and about 8 oz. of oven-baked chicken.  It is so delicious. 

Yummy salad!

In random news, John Tesh re-tweeted me on Twitter last night.  I was pretty excited.  I used to listen to him while driving to the gym, and I read his Tweets regularly and re-tweet him like mad.  If you follow me on Twitter, you can see which gems of his I choose to share!

John Tesh loves me. 

Tomorrow is DAY THREE of the cleanse -- the last day!  Until tomorrow, folks!
