Shakeology Cleanse - Day 2

Whew! Two-thirds of the way done and still going pretty strong. Fighting a headache through a bit of the day but I don't know if that's due to the cleanse, an incident that happened at school yesterday or my running last night (I sometimes get a headache an hour or so after I run for some reason).

Stepped on the scale this morning and I was down 2.2 pounds. Yay! I realize it's mostly "water weight" but it's nice to see that number move - motivating to keep going.

Food - Had my chocolate Shakeology for breakfast followed by a cup of green tea (forgot to mention the teas that I drank yesterday). Lunch was a spinach salad topped with cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices and 4oz of grilled chicken seasoned with pepper and garlic. A squirt of low-fat French dressing to top it off. After school I gave in to temptation and had a small serving of Chex Mix - had a serious craving for salty and crunchy (probably because most of my meals have been sweet and liquid). Had a chocolate Shakeology for a snack and then another for dinner, followed by a final glass of green tea. As with yesterday, no need for the extra fruit. Lots of water and I'm feeling pretty well sated.

Exercise - Walked 1.6 miles at work (we do most days) and did some light cleaning around the house. Contemplating some yoga or ab work once the kids are in bed. Nothing as intense as the run yesterday.

Mood - A little tired today but nothing unusual given the late bedtime (11:30 last night - yikes!) and the 5am wake-up with my oldest. A little crabby but, again, given the lack of sleep and chasing after a 1 year old and a 4 year old, nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, I'm finding this easier to follow than I anticipated (though I've not been as strict as it calls for with my after school snack).

One more day! :o)
