Day 2 of the 7-day cleanse

This post is going to describe how I endured Day 1 and what is coming on Day 2.

First, I drank two teas instead of two half cup coffees that I usually down. The tea didn’t really help keeping my concentration going, but it did help me stay awake. The downside: a terrible headache from 6 pm until I went to sleep. Second problem was that, I had dinner around 8:30pm, so I had to wait 12 hours before my morning smoothie, which worsened the headache. I was hungry, on and off but kept going strong. On the other hand, the energy balls were delicious!

Workout

I tried a new fitness studio near work today. It was no crazy workout but I popped one energy ball at 5 and it kept me going until 6:30 pm. I ran 7 minutes on the treadmill, 5 on the crossfit machine and did 3 sets each of legs, arms, back and thigh exercises. My muscles hurt like crazy yesterday but I’m feeling great today! I’m going back to the gym today and I’m going to try spending more time on the cardio. Let’s see how that works out!

Breakfast

Today’s smoothie consisted of greens, avocado, banana and berries. I totally forgot to add chia and the protein powder. Surprisingly, it wasn’t disgusting but not that great either. I bought more mixed berries to try to make better smoothies from tomorrow onwards.

Snack

Two more energy balls today, before the work out and sunflower seeds for the mid-morning snack.

Lunch

I heated up some canned lentil soup yesterday for dinner and brought some to work for lunch. I added some salt, pepper and cilantro to make it tastier.

Dinner

Tonight I plan to make soup out of carrots and broccoli. This one isn’t canned, so I have to make it from scratch.

Weight Loss

Since Saturday, I lost 0.4 pounds and my weight is now 139.6lbs.
