MC - Day 9

Yeah! One more day! One more day! It's like a mantra in my head right now so I can keep motivated and finish this. I'm doing great again today. No cravings, but I'm just tired of the lemonade. It's gotten to be so monotonous. It tastes fine, but I'm ready for textures and something a bit different.

I'm looking forward to seeing how I feel and eat after the MC. I've not done a good job on my lemonades today, like I said. I've only had a little over half of what I'm supposed to drink a day. It's not made me weak or anything, but I've not been hungry for it or felt like I needed it.

JD and I went for another good workout today. I'm hoping I will keep this up after the MC! It was so easy to come home after a long day with the kiddos and crash on the couch with a glass of wine and a box of Cheez-It's. I will still allow myself to indulge in those things, but I will do it moderately and AFTER I burn some calories in the gym.

One of the main reasons I went on the cleanse was so I could make better choices when it came to food and instead of stuffing myself with carbs I could pick foods with more protein and vitamins to help with working out. One of my long-term goals for the year is to finish the Middle Half Marathon and I wasn't making much progress on the treadmill on my previous diet. So far I've been doing much better and have had a lot more endurance and motivation to get moving!

I made a buffalo chicken dip tonight to take to a pool party tomorrow with the kindergarten teachers. I made a small thing for JD and I when I'm eating again. I'm looking forward to that! But I didn't even sample today. I can't believe I've not had a single bite of solid foods since last Sunday. C-R-A-Z-Y! But, seriously, if I can do it, anyone can do it.

So, I'm off to get in my pj's and chug some lemonades to hopefully get the calories I needed for the day. If not, I'll just add a little extra syrup to my tea and call it a night!

Later, gators!
