Cleanse - Day 1

So I made it through day 1!  It was better than I expected in some ways and worse in others.  Better because the meal replacement shake, the fiber drink and the muscle gain shake I had today all tasted really good!  I was shocked because I was totally expecting having to force it down but it wasn't hard at all.  Even the fiber drink was easy and tasted really good...that was actually my favorite!  It was also pretty cool because I expected to be super hungry all day and I really wasn't.  I mean, I definitely was ready to eat by meal time but I wasn't starving like I thought I would be. 

The things that weren't as great was just that I already can tell that this is going to be very boring food-wise, and that worries me considering it's only day 1.  I wish I liked fish because that would make things SOOO much easier but I just can't stomach it.  Except for fish sticks, but I don't think I can call that 'fish'!  Haha!  So I am just going to have to look up some Advocare friendly recipes and also get a little inventive with my food choices.  I need to dig out some yummy spices to add to things so I get a little more flavor.  I know I can do this, and I'm definitely deadset on killing this challenge, I just need to get into a groove with some variation on eating choices.  I'll get the hang of it!

One annoying thing that I will admit about this so far is that I am already sick of running to the bathroom to pee!!  I must have gone 15 times today at least!  I have had about a gallon of water today or a little more so I guess it makes sense, but WOW!  I have always had a hard time getting my water in so this is a big change but man, I didn't think about this aspect.  So annoying! LOL!

Day 1 down, 23 more to go!  Feeling awesome:)

LOL I'm not a huge fan of "fishy" tasting fish either so I usually just stick to catfish and talapia. I do like Cod as well though. We probably do need to add more fish in our diet too come to think of it.

Glad those shakes are working for you and keeping you filled!

That is definitely one side affect of weight loss/dieting that I could do without too. The having to pee so much! Have you thought about maybe adding some crystal light to your water? I tried the peach bellini one the other day. It was just ok. Something to spice things up a bit though when water gets boring!

I don't even know how to fix fish! It's something about the texture, ugh! Maybe I should try some tilapia. I did buy a packet of tuna to try so we'll see how that goes!

I LOVE the Crystal Light stuff. My favorite is the fruit punch..there's another one that is for energy or something that I like but can't remember the name. I wish I could like plain old regular water but I'm just not there yet! LOL!

I can email our favorite "go to" talipia recipe to you. Very very easy and yummy! We top it with panko breadcrumbs and it is just delicious! I'll send it to you on fb when I get home and can find the recipe.
