May 28, 2013- Second Day of the 24 Day Challenge

     This morning was a little more tough getting up. I still have nightmares and my son woke up a few times. I really needed my Spark this morning- I did not hesitate. I also took my catalyst--

    After I, once again, enjoyed my Spark, I drank the Herbal Cleanse Fiber drink- same way I drank it yesterday. I knew I would be extremely bored with the limited selection of what I am able to eat- so, I got creative. Last night I made chicken marinated in a little bit of extra virgin olive oil, garlic and cilantro- baked it and refrigerated it for the morning. I also made brown rice- but added cumin and red pepper to it (just a dash). I was running late this morning, so I had to get something quick.

I ate:
3oz of garlic cilantro chicken (boneless, skinless)
2 strawberries (2oz)
1 Lundberg Brown Rice Cake


      Once it approached snack time- I did the same cucumber and avacado  mix I had done last night.


      A half an hour before lunch, I took my Catalyst and drank my Spark.

For lunch I ate:

3oz of garlic cilantro chicken (boneless, skinless)
3 Lettuce Leaves (sprinkled lemon juice from a lemon for flavor)
1/8  cup of Brown Rice seasoned with cumin and red pepper
1/8 cup of Black Beans

(I am only allotted 1/4 cup of Complex carbs- so, for flavor, I did a1/8 cup of beans and rice so that I could more thoroughly enjoy my meal)

I then stuffed the lettuce with the chicken, beans and rice. It was- DELICIOUS! Way better than eating everything separate with minimal flavor.

     As the middle of the afternoon approached, I was still quite hungry. So I had my snack

Same avocado and cucumber mix I did yesterday.

     When I went home, my boyfriend and I checked the Couch to 5k app and it said we had to rest today... I guess we had plenty of time to do the dishes! Once dinner time approached I ate what I had for lunch earlier today. I also took the omega I was supposed to take.

     Then I got pale. Not just a little washed out- like, no color in my skin tone. I had NO ENERGY, i had a headache, light  headed, dizzy and I could barely even hold a conversation. I had my snack early because I was really starting to crash.

I ate:
1 tbsp of Peanut Butter

A half and hour later- I was still dizzy and tired so--

I ate:
1/4 piece of sour dough bread.

My boyfriend and I decided to at least do our crunches and push ups today. I did my 200 varied crunch exercises. I then did 6 regular push ups, 6 diamond push ups, then 6 regular push ups. I felt fine once I had a little more to eat. I eat A LOT. Not always  "unhealthy"- but my metabolism is already pretty high, I figured this would happen.


Afterwards I took my herbal cleanse packets...and went to bed. I was asleep by 10:30

I drank 8 glasses of water throughout the day
