I am proud to say I made it past hump day without any deviation from my prescribed meal plans! One thing I have noticed since doing this detox is that I used to eat to fill the time .Now that I can't go to the fridge when I'm bored I have to find other things to do! Tonight that meant hitting the gym for a workout. I did boxing last night and RPM tonight. I am only supposed to be doing moderate exercise, but I am the type of person who likes to do it once and do it right. I like to feel " spent" after a workout- going for a half hour walk on the treadmill just doesn't cut it!
What was a double bonus about heading to the gym was that it forced me to drink an extra 750ml of water that I probably wouldn't have had otherwise. This has bumped today's water intake to well over 2 Litres.

Snack: Chocolate bar ( That i had frozen in the freezer. Took much longer to eat and I enjoyed it more)

Physical/Mental/Spiritual
50 mins of spin class
I went to the MAC sale at Estee Lauder for some retail therapy
Challenges
My biggest challenge so far has been not having something to eat after dinner. I have a bad habit of heading to the fridge around 9pm for a snack. It is especially hard when your hubby sits there with treats that you aren't allowed to join him in! How do I combat this challenge? By going to the kitchen and filling my water bottle!
Yesterday, when my colleges were snacking around me I quenched my need for chocolate by sipping water. Then, when everyone complained about how much their stomach hurt from eating too much chocolate, I smiled and felt proud that I had conquered the evil post- lunch munchie demon. Now, my only challenge is having to get up to pee about 3 times during the night from drinking so much water!
