Mini-Cleanse days 2 & 3

Today is day 3 of my mini cleanse and I have to say that I am loving it! I was skeptical at first but I feel great so far. I haven't had any issues with energy levels and I haven't been hungry at all. I've been having a shake for breakfast and one for lunch. Both days I had a handful of peanuts at some point during the day and for dinner I've just been making large salads. I'm supposed to have 3 shakes a day but I haven't found a good time to sneak in the third shake. Maybe today I will make a protein shake after I workout, I need to do that anyway. If I could find a way to eat this way everyday and get an adequate number of calories I probably would! But tomorrow I will go back to eating my lunch instead of drinking it. With a little luck (or willpower) I will continue to avoid snacking on terrible things and keep eating clean. I want to be at around 90/10 for eating clean to processed foods ideally.

I also went to the gym for the first time, pretty close to ever, yesterday. I'm looking forward to going a lot more. I love the energy and the commotion of being in a busy gym, and I love having that many activity options available to me. I think in honor of concentrating on the shoulder and arm muscles this week I'm going to test out some of the machines that help target those specific muscles tonight. I am enjoying studying for the certification test, I love biology and anatomy. Learning what makes the body tick is fascinating.
