Arbonne Detox Day 15

Today was great!   I held auditions after school for my musical and was able to withstand eating papa john's pizza that I ordered for the high school volunteers.   

I drank my cleanse and I actually had trouble because I wanted to drink it super fast and that isn't good for you.  You are supposed to drink to super slow...  So I had to pace myself.  

Overall, great day.  Felt good and energized all day.  

Arbonne Detox Day 14

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day and I didn't have school today but I still have a ton of stuff to get done so I'm hoping that starting the 7-Day Cleanse doesn't wear me out too much.  

Which brings me to the next point, TODAY WE STARTED THE 7-DAY CLEANSE!  It's this syrupy stuff that is full of detoxing goodness that you mix with 32oz of water and drink throughout the day.  

I tried this stuff a couple years ago and it tasted so incredibly bad to me that I could not drink it at all!  So I was pretty nervous about this part of the detox.  

I poured my first glass of it and to my amazement, it tasted good!!  It's the same stuff, but I actually enjoy the taste now!  That can only mean one thing, I am getting clean!  You know you are detoxing right when things start tasting differently.  That was this stuff.  

Have a great day! 

Arbonne Detox Day 13

I'm writing this on day 14 because yesterday I fell asleep early for the 2nd night in a row! I was worn out.  I don't know if it is my body detoxing or if it is just worn out from the crazy exhausting week I had.  No idea.   But I do know that sleep felt amazing.  

Yesterday was a typical Sunday.  Went to church, had lunch, went to band practice (which is awesome), went to Starbucks to study with Brittany for my AFFA test, which I should also blog about.  Typical day. 

Oh!  Supper last night was particularly yummy.  I made a "grilled cheese" but with avacado instead of cheese.  

So this is what I did:

Sautéed half of a small onion in coconut oil until see through

Coconut oiled the outsides of brown rice loaf (gluten free bread) 

Spreaded half of an avacado on the bread

Placed the browned onions on the sandwich 

Browned the sandwich in the onion pan until golden and warm 

Then I fried two farm fresh eggs in the onion oil and that was my supper 

IT WAS SO GOOD.  I have been craving really fatty foods like avacado and eggs and things so it just completely satisfied me.  

I usually end up getting hungry again before bed but I didn't last night.  

Also, here is a picture of our fruitbowl that Eric started putting our fruit and veggie stickers in a while ago.  It's kind of like a trophy now.  Lol.  

Have a wonderful day! 

Arbonne Detox Day 12

Last night was so fun!  They had fruit to dip in the chocolate fountain and they had strawberries on that platter so I just ate those!  I drank water and by the end of the night I was so tired that I felt a little loopy!  Ha!  We stayed out way to late but it was well worth it to catch up with old friends.  

Today I was tired.  I managed to make it to my 8am session and to a couple more.  Then I went to lunch with a group of people at an irish pub who served the best breakfast food I'm pretty sure I have ever seen.  I absolutely love breakfast food so it was particularly hard to not partake in the feasting.  But, I had already packed my shake.  As to not be rude, I ordered some squash and tomatoes as a side and drank my shake.  It was fine and nobody bothered me too much about what I was eating.  I did make sure to tell the waitress that she was still going to be tipped appropriately.  Which is very important.  If you go and sit at the table and the waitress brings you water and cleans up after you, tip her a couple dollars.  She worked for you.   

After lunch I was exhausted and I drove home, which was very hard because of the warm sun beating in the car.  But I put on my Brant and Sherri podcast and hit the road.  

I made it home and fell asleep so hard on the couch. I was out of it!  I think my busy crazy week had caught up to me and I was exhausted.  I managed to wake up for an amazing supper that Eric made. Eggplant pizzas, roasted broccoli, and brown rice!  YUM.   We have to do laundry tonight which will not be fun at all.  Ugh.  Can't wait until we have our own washer and dryer!  

Thanks for reading!  

Arbonne Detox Day 11

Today was my first day on the detox while not being at home.  So I did a lot of prep work before.  Eric helped me pack snacks, lots of snacks and enough shakes for every meal.  

I filled the blender up with enough stuff for 4 shakes blended and then put it all in separate blender bottles. 

I have to say, it was a bit awkward when I went to lunch with a friend, ordered an ice tea, and drank my shake.  Lol.  😁 But it worked out and I got a chance to share Arbonne and how it has made me feel so far which is AWESOME!  

I'm glad I brought my fit chews and fizz sticks to keep me going.  I also packed some carrots and almonds to keep me going.  

The worst part was that we went out to dinner for PIZZA (which is my favorite) and I had to order a very naked salad.  Cocktail hour is next and I am not looking forward to not being able to get a cocktail.  I'm planning on just drinking tonic water with lime or lemon and acting like I'm tipsy.  Lol.  I'll let you know how it works out.  

Have a wonderful night!  Thanks for reading! 

Arbonne Detox Day 10

Holy cow.  I can't believe it's been 10 days! 

Thursday was another crazy day at school and I was concerned that I would have low energy levels, as was the case in the past.   This was not the case!  (HALLELUJAH). 

Made it through with flying colors and had enough energy.  

Yay!

Arbonne Detox Day 9

Today was INSAIN.  Like most Wednesdays are for me.  Woke up super duper early and didn't stop until 10:00pm.  I was very worried about how much energy I would have but, turns out I felt great for most of the day!   Yay!  I got hungry a couple times but I just ate my almonds. 

I do have to say it was crazy making three shakes this morning!  1 for breakfast, 1 for lunch and 1 for my pre/post workout!!  But it worked out and praise the Lord for blender bottles! 

I am very pleasantly suprised that after waking up at 5:30, teach a full day of music class (which is very active), teaching choir and teaching 2 Zumba classes, I still have energy! Holy cow! I mean, don't get me wrong I am exhausted now but I made it and I didn't feel like crud the whole time. Good job detox. 

Ok, I'm falling asleep hard.  By for now!
