Day 10.. WOOHOO
I made it through the first 10 days!! What I have learned so far... always always be prepared! Always have snacks on you! Always know exactly what you are going to eat before you get to a restaraunt. The hard part is over!!!

Day 9
So day 9 was not my best day! I was not prepared in the moring and it really made the whole day extreemly hard! I ran out of my go-to pre measured bag of almonds, and thought that I would be able to make a break happen around 11 or so. Boy was I wrong! I sat in a meeting from 10am to just after noon and I was starving. When we got out my boss sugessted we go and have lunch!
So... I skipped a snack! This really did affect the rest of the day. At lunch I was so hungry that I ate everything and ate it so fast! I ordered grilled chicken and veggies and sweet potoates. It was a good lunch but I left really full and not feeling like I normally do after lunch. Around 3pm we stopped at starbucks and I grabbed a fruit bowl and an almond pack! I ate half of both, becuase they are much more than one serving!
For dinner we went to Purples in bellevue! Another one of my FAVORITE places to go! I orderd the turkey sandwhich with no bread ( Kinda a weird request) and then instead of fries I did aspereagus! It was pretty good! When the other i was with ordered dessert I asked for decalf black tea! Dont be afraid to order this, tea usually coasts about $2, but it is well worth it, if it keeps you full while others are indulging in dessert!
Day 10 will be much more smooth! I have 14 days left, and I am feeling good, but not seeing as many results and I would like!

Day 8
OHHH.... work!! So my boss came into town today! Good for my business.. not so good for my cleanse! Thankfully I had enough will power to get through the day! For lunch we went to Anthonys Homeport. I was able to order a Salmon Filet with no butter or oil, and grilled veggies. The peice of salmon was definitly a bigger portion than I could eat, so I split it on half and placed one half on my "un-used" bread plate!
Thankfully I packed my snacks in the morning cause around 3pm I got hungry and was able to pull out my almonds and an apple from my bag.
Dinner was a little bit more difficult. We went to John Howie Steak House in bellevue! One of my FAVORITE restaraunts. The menu wasnt very ADVO friendly, but I was able to make do. I ordered the steak salad but subsituted for chicken and had no dressing or blue cheese. The salad had mushrooms, tomatoes, onions and shallots. If your thinking wow this sounds bland.. your right! It was, but I was able to eat enough chicken to feel full and I think that is how I survived.
I think what I have learned from eating out so much for work, is at places that you LOVE, dont bother opening the menu. IF you do, you're going to feel tempted to order what you love! With that said, have a plan! Check out the menu before hand and see what things are advo friendly, so when you get there you already know what you can have! Just a tip.
My boss asked me today.. where do you get your will power! What makes you not order a burger and fries! I realized when I was talking to him that when I think of those foods.. I think of what I would look like in a bathing suit! I'm already uncomfortable and insecure! EAting that burger and fries.. well Its only going to make things worsE. Think about end results! Picture yourself being happy and secure in your body when you make emotional decisions about food!
Weight- 167.6

Day 7
DAy 7 was a HUGE success for me! I was up really late last night and ended up sleeping in until 11am! I honestly can't tell you that last time I have slept in that late. I was fighting a cold most of last week and I think the extra sleep really helped take care of whatever bugs were still in me : )
My sister came over around noon and because it was so nice outside we decided to go on a run! 4 miles in 40 minutes! Not too bad for a sunday! Because I had slept in so late I was a little worried about fitting in all 6 meals in such a short amount of time. So when we got back from the run I have half and apple and then some almonds. The plan was to shower... get ready, head to my parents house for the day and then over to my grandmas for family dinner. I knew I probably wasnt going to be able to eat much at dinner, so Kayla and I decided to hit up whole foods. We bought ground chicken breast, onions, green peppers, mushrooms and garlic! When we got to my parents we chopped up the veggies and mixed them in with the meat to make chicken burgers. We brought them over to family dinner, and my dad grilled them up for us along with their steak and potatoes. SO SO glad I did this. The chicken burgers were GREAT.. and because I brought something I could actually eat I didn't feel left out or deprived.
Really a huge part of being successful on this cleanse is making sure you are prepared for every situation. I packed my snacks before I left,and already had a plan for dinner before I had even had lunch! It turned out to be a great day!
Breakfast- Meal replacment shake
Snack- Almonds , 1/2 apple
Lunch- Jimmy Johns- Turkey Tom lettuce wrap with no mayo!!!
Snack- Raspberries and almonds
Dinner- Chicken Burgers and Grilled Veggies

Day 6
Low key saturday! I went to the gym with my sister this morning and did about an hour of cardio and then 15 minutes of abs! Thankfully at the gym I was able to get a small fruit plate and then order a hard boiled egg on the side on my way out! I ate the yolk as my fat.. and then picked around the fruit I couldn't have!
I had lunch around 1:30 today and did spinach, quinoa, ground turkey meat and salsa. My sister had some too and loved it! Around 4pm I had a snack of almonds and an apple. Dinner came a little later.. around 7pm and I had an egg white omelette with tons of veggies and salsa.

Although today was low key.. it was kind of a hard day. I wasnt super inspired today.. and it is the first time on this cleanse that I felt discouraged. I think I had a lot of free time today to think, and I let myself get negative. I think as soon as I get negative I start craving the bad foods. I noticed myself thinking.. man I could really use a snack right now! and I really wasn't even hungry. Instead of opening the pantry I made a cup of tea.. or drank a HUGE glass of water. It actually helped! It really filled me up. I've also started reading peoples blogs and tagging pictures on pinterest! THis helps me stay focused on my goals.
Day 5
Well.. DAy 5 was difficult! I worked from my house most of the day so I prepped my meals and did all that fun stuff! But the problems came later on! My friend Jen had invited me to her daughter birthday.. dinner and a movie.
First we went to see Brave.. I packed almonds and fresh rasberries because the movie was at 4pm and thats usuallly when I eat my afternoon snack! They chomped on Receces and Gummy Bears... it was the first time ALL week that I wanted something I couldn't have! After the movie we went to Earls. Earls is my go to Friday night restaraunt! Lots of fun people.. great food... overall good vibe!
My usual order- Burger no bun, no cheese, add avacado- and yes I eat the fries!
Last nights order- Blackened Chicken Breast with a side of asperagus- and an ice tea!
The girls had cheeseburgers and fries and soda! IT pretty much made my dinner suck! But I kept telling myself.. remember that bathing suit you posted. Cheeseburgers aren't going to get you there!
After dinner we went back to their house and the girls put on a movie and scooped big bowls of ice cream! I immediatly made myself some decaf tea! That seemed to do the trick! I headed home around 10pm and just as I was walking into my door my neighbors came out and invited me in to play this game! I should have said " no", I was tired and cranky, but instead I caved! The game was so fun- I stayed over till 2am! While we were playing though they were drinking wine and beer, I stuck to my water. Around 1am though my stomach was roaring and I was really hungry. My last meal was at 6pm, so I decided to add another snack, banana and peanut butter! ( probably wasnt the best snack I could have had, but i needed something sweet)
Overall it was hard night! Now I am just stressing about today! Jen and I are going out to a bar for a friends birthday- obviously there is NO ALCOHOL on this cleanse, so what I should be doing is staying home and laying low! But the plan is to chug that water all night!
Breakfast- Shake
Snack- Banana and Almonds
Lunch- Mushroom with Ground Turkey and Salsa and Grilled Veggies
Snack- Almond and Rasberries
Dinner- Blackned Chicken and Asperagus
Snack- Banana and PB
