Cleanse Day #1 COMPLETE

I'll start off this blog with a quote that was shared on the Women's Health Facebook Page

"People do not lack strength; they lack will." Victor Hugo




Now for the nitty gritty....Day #1 of the cleanse was FABULOUS!  After the morning packet and breakfast I did have to bolt for the bathroom ONCE, but that was it all day.  I felt AWESOME!  I had more energy than I've had in a long time and the cravings for CRAP weren't around at all.  The only struggle I had was when the kids were having snack yesterday afternoon (chocolate chip rice cakes).  So yesterdays menu was as follows:


Breakfast:
1 plain rice cake
2 Tbsp vanilla yogurt
1 cup frozen raspberries
Water


Lunch:
4 oz Salmon fillet
Spinach
1/4 Onion
1 Roma Tomato
1/3 Cucumber (sliced)
1/4 c. Slivered Almonds
Fat Free Vinegerette Dressing


12 ozs of Green Tea sweetened with a tad of honey and lemon
Water


Snack:
3 celery stalks w/Skippy Natural peanut butter
Water


Dinner:
4 oz grilled chicken breast
1/2 c. quinoa
1/2 c. steamed vegetables (frozen asparagus stir fry)


Snack:
Peach Raspberry Smoothie (pureed frozen peaches and raspberries, water, lemon juice)


Everything was delicious and I never realized how yummy everything is with a drizzle of fresh lemon juice.  Either way I feel amazing this morning as well and had no problem pulling my butt out of bed.  I am filled with determination and ambition and obviously I don't attribute ALL of that to the cleanse, but I honestly believe it has helped TREMENDOUSLY paired with my GNC Mega Women's Active vitamins.  I can't wait for boot camp tonight.  I'm ready to get my ass kickin' on!!  BRING IT TINA!
