Day 2 of Project Boudoir

Well yesterday was probably one of THE BEST days I've had in a LONG time.  There was a lot accomplished on many different fronts, there were an extra couple hours I got to spend with loved ones and my "healthy" cookies met me at the door and deterred me from the 2 gallon size bags of Easter candy left over from the weekend.....yesterday was definitely a win and I plan to continue the winning streak today.

So yesterday I started my GNC 14 day cleanse again to get ready for my photo shoot on the 18th.  Today is Day 2 of that project and on the way in to work this morning part of me thought "dangit! I forgot to weigh myself yesterday", but then a little voice in my head said "Does the number on the scale REALLY matter?" NO!  No one knows that number, that number makes ZERO difference on how your clothes fit or how to feel, it's just one more thing to obsess over so I decided, from now until my "goal" I am avoiding the scale all together.  I am going to focus solely on how my clothes fit and how I feel.  C'mon, you and I both know that you KNOW when you're doing well and when you're not and while it's reassuring to see the number on the scale go down it's also VERY discouraging to see the number go up because of water retention, periods, etc when you are doing everything perfectly.  I'm honest enough with myself to give myself a little pep talk when I know I'm not doing well.  I KNOW when I'm doing great and when I'm struggling, I don't need a number on a scale or a BMI chart to validate that for me.....so here goes....the first time I'm recommitting without a scale involved.  I have a feeling, this run is going to be a lot more rewarding than any other.

Day 2's lunch box contains: 2 clementines, 1 hard boiled egg, 1 cup of Chobani Greek Yogurt (Pear), my morning liquid cleanse that gets added to my cold water, a 2 cup serving of Quinoa Stuffing, 1 apple, 1/2 quart bag of sliced strawberries, 1/2 quart bag with a sliced cucumber.

I've decided it's much easier to list all of the things that are in my lunch bag, rather than plan out each meal and snack.  This is my fuel to get through the day and I know I'm going to do well.  Tonight will consist of a trip to the grocery store for more fresh fruits, a meeting with my tax guy, and something quick (and still healthy) for dinner.....I'll update ya'll tomorrow on what THAT ended up being!
