Mini-cleanse day 1

I've always been intrigued by the idea of a cleanse. The theory behind it makes sense to me. I at one point even tried the Clean Program, making it through the first week and a half was tough but I felt amazing, other than the starvation that is. In hindsight that may have been more because it was the first time in my life I wasn't consuming gluten and my body was repairing and functioning correctly for once than anything else the cleanse is supposed to be doing. Either way as my rest week of Insanity approached the idea of  doing a mini cleanse got more and more appealing. So today, my first day of recovery week, is also my first day of mini cleansing.


Today I am starting my shakeology cleanse, just without the shakeology. I didn't have the time or the money to get shakeology so I'm doing it with slim fast chocolate royal powder. The idea of the cleanse is to flush out the bad stuff while taking in as much nutrients as possible. You drink 3 shakes a salad with fish or chicken at dinner. You make the shakes with water instead of any kind of milk (I usually use unflavored almond milk so this is a change for me) and have 2 cups of green tea a day. Supposedly doing this will help 'reset' your system and re-energize you. 


Today I am also re-dedicating myself to logging food. I NEED to get my eating under control if I want to lose the last 10-20 pounds I would like to lose before I get my certification. I would like to not have such a flabby booty when I start trying to find a job as a CPT!
