Today was my first day without Diet Coke and I must say it's been easy to go without it. So far no headaches or lack of energy. I actually feel real good. The only thing I would say that I miss is the taste of something besides water. I need to find good substitutes that aren't packed with sugar. I really need to get better about drinking more water... I haven't drank nearly enough water today. I would like to get to the point of drinking a gallon of water a day. That is going to take some doing.
Today I haven't been very hungry which surprises me... I've only had a banana and an apple to eat today. For dinner we are going to the in-laws and my mother-in-law has offered to make steamed veggies and brown rice for me with grapes for dessert!!! I have the coolest mother-in-law... very supportive of this journey.
I went to the gym and once again pushed myself... I did 2 3.5 minute increments of jogging plus threw in an extra 1 minute for fun for a total of 8 minutes of jogging. I did a total of 25 minutes on the treadmill and 25 minutes on the bike again today. I think this is what I will stick with for this week just change up how much I jog. I plan on going back to the gym tomorrow. I feel so good after going to the gym... very rewarding feeling. I love the feeling of accomplishment that I get by working out.
Must keep pushing myself. I am down more weight today... which is really excited and motivating for me to see. This cleanse is really helping me... I think I really needed a fresh start and this is giving it to me.
Let the lbs melt!!!!
Hey one thing I did when I needed to drink more water, was add a peppermint lifesaver to it, it really helped with me actually liking it, or try adding cucumber to your water, it makes it crisp and refreshing.... Also a great snack that feels like cheating is frozen grapes, super sweet and cold but all natural sugar. I love following your blog. And I am wishing for the best for you!! I hope I could have the motivation to do what you are doing.
