!!!HAPPY 130th FOUNDERS DAY ACS!!!
Cannot believe that I'm actually a J4 now, it's been 2 years since we have graduated!! Definitely was not the easiest 2 years of my life, struggled so much with my studies but such good take aways from AC and I really actually miss school.
Anyway, on to GM Cleanse Day 2! I talked a little about my day on Day 1's post because I apparently fell asleep the moment I got to my bed. I woke up this morning really tired but I'm guessing it's because I'm perpetually tired and I don't really know why.. (BLAME SCHOOL) I'm pretty sure it is not the detox that is causing my to be tired. I do have side effects from this cleanse though, I have read online a lot about people getting headaches and all but I did not really experience that. However, rashes and itchy bumps started popping up on my stomach, neck and arms, I googled and it did say that rashes are one of the the side effects of detox. (click here for the article!) Little did I know, according to the article, rashes are most apparent in a sugar-detox where one cuts down on sugar after a sugary diet.. Goodness, I did not know I was consuming that much such beforehand. On the bright side, it means that the detox is working!!
For breakfast, I stir-fried Bok Chye, white button mushrooms and garlic. It was a little weird having vegetable for breakfast. After that, I was still a little peckish so I ate another bowl of cherry tomatoes! I did not really feel like doing a workout today, so I just did a few jumping jacks to get my heart rate up and I did a workout by Blogilates. I mentioned in the previous post that I did not want to have sweet potato for breakfast because I was saving it for lunch to have it before work to last me through the 6 hour shift and it did! I made a soup like thing for lunch, adding kale, tomato, mushrooms and zucchini into water and boil. When I got to Somerset, I was scoffing down the sweet potato on the way to work, it was not a pretty sight... But it kept me full and that is what is important. I also packed an additional bag of cherry tomatoes which I ate throughout work whenever I felt hungry.
I got home and made a stir-fry for dinner at almost 9pm. I added asparagus, zucchini, tomato and white button mushroom. I miscalculated the portioning and made too much which had me struggling to finish it all. I felt like having a dessert and I made myself a Fiberwise
2 rounded scoops of FiberWise and 12oz of cold water. I don't know if this is considered cheating on the detox plan but its fiber.. so I guess not? haha. It tasted just like orange juice which was what I needed to kill my craving for a dessert.
I got this extract off their website, so if you are interested, you can click on the link and go read more about it!
