Shakeology Cleanse - Day 1

I have to say, today wasn't as bad as I expected. :o)

Food - I had my Shakeology for breakfast with just water. It was a little thinner than I'm used to but not bad. Apple for snack and my salad for lunch. I did "cheat" a little and use the other half of my turkey burger (without the bun but still with the bacon and cheese...) from dinner last night as my lean protein. I also had a salad with baby spinach, cucumbers and cherry tomatoes with just a squirt of low fat French dressing. Shakeology "snack" when I got home from work and then another for dinner. LOTS of water. I was pretty excited that I wasn't even tempted to have a taste of dinner when I was cooking for the kids. Didn't even need my second fruit today.

Exercise - It's normally not recommended that you do vigorous exercise so as not to over-tax your body. I got a new pair of running shoes yesterday and since this is the first day of the cleanse (and my body hasn't figured out that this is it yet!) I decided to hit the treadmill a little. Definitely kept it easy, though. Once my body catches up with the idea that there're fewer calories coming in, ie tomorrow, it's down to yoga.

Energy - Pretty good today. I expected to be tired, especially chasing after two little ones. We'll see what tomorrow brings!

I stepped on the scale this morning before my breakfast shake. We'll see what it says tomorrow morning. 'Night all!
