Day 8

Well, woke up today down another -0.4 pounds! Today is the first day of Phase 2- Release! It was also the first day of Detox, which you take 3 times a day. This mixture is definitely not as bad right off the bat as Alkalinize is- the only complaint is that it doesn’t really mix completely. Other than that, not an unpleasant thing to drink!

Breakfast this morning was a whole big bowl of fruit! In my bowl today was green apple, watermelon, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, jicama and kiwi! So good! When you are preparing for this week- get a lot of fruit ready because you eat it almost every morning!  We decided to just make kind of a fruit salad of it all and cut a bunch of fruit up so it would be easy to grab and eat in the morning.

I am feeling SO productive today- after breakfast I really got to work and was checking things off my to-do list right and left! That is a really great feeling! I’m definitely getting back to my normal self and I have a feeling that at the end of this, I’m going to be better than ever!

For lunch, I had a microgreen salad- I’m telling you, make a BUNCH of this stuff because you’re going to eat it a lot! Today was a treat through because I was allowed 1/8 of an avocado on it! That was very tasty! I absolutely love avocado so I was extra happy about this one! It spiced up the salad a bit too- it tasted so good today!

Now, call me crazy but Alkalinize…. not bad at all now! I didn’t mind drinking it down AT ALL! I don’t know what’s happening to me, because I NEVER through I’d get used to that, but here we are Day 8 and I almost was looking forward to it… almost!

Pinto Beans and Rice, String Beans with lemon and steamed zucchini for dinner tonight and it was excellent!! I think even Neil is kind of enjoying the veggies (but don’t tell him I said that!).  We eat pinto beans and rice again for lunch tomorrow so we made enough for that as well to be prepared!  The pinto beans and rice use liquid aminos so you know I was thrilled about that! Honestly, I enjoyed the zucchini even more than the beans and rice which just proved to me that my body really is changing!

So my thoughts on the first day of Phase 2…. Feeling great today actually and I really didn’t have any effects from taking Detox. I did read that it can take a couple days to kick in so I’ll keep you posted on that! Good news though- no running to the bathroom or anything! We’ll see what Day 9 brings! Stay tuned!
