Spring Clean Cleanse 2/21

I SURVIVED DAY 2 of 21 of the Spring Clean Cleanse! And by some miracle even got my workout in. I think getting my sweat on actually really helped me de-stress, and yes i'm feeling some detox symptoms (irritable, hungry mostly, no headaches so far). My breakfast was a ton of lemon water, a bulletproof coffee and then a passionfruit/pineapple/strawberry-avocado/chia seed smoothie. That was more sugar than I typically eat but since I will be eating mostly liquid diet I wanted to be sure I had enough carbs to survive until lunch and fuel my workout. I even went for a walk with my sister but then discovered it was colder and icier than we anticipated so decided we'd hit up 'coffee' instead, which I resisted my usual honey latte and got a herbal tea, black. Definite will power. Coffee Fiend Resistance at it's finest.

 For lunch (my solid meal of the day) I had a mixed green salad with home made avocado dressing and a palm sized local steak. 



I actually did my run later in the afternoon and was feeling pretty weak so I ended up having a second bulletproof coffee (okay so not a complete success, but at least it wasn't a sugary latte:) and a organic rice cake with almond butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon, post run. My dinner smoothie will probably actually be a juice, i'm thinking lemon-cucumber-cilantro, maybe a bit of spring mix too.

My workout was whole body today, the usual 30 on 10 rest with my gymboss timer (if you don't have one maybe try for 10-15 reps for 3 sets)

1. Squat and Press
2. Spiderman Pushups
3. Stability Ball Crunches
4. Plie Squats
5. Dumbell Flies
6. Bicyle Abs
7. Ball Bridge
8. Bicep Curls
9. Tuck Abs
10. Squatting Side Lunge

I then did a half hour fast run, cooled down with 10 minutes of hula hooping and a stretch:)
