Yup...another cleanse

In case you haven't noticed, I love the way a good Shakeology cleanse helps me feel and after two weeks of vacation - and vacation food - I figured it was time for another cleanse. I went grocery shopping on Sunday night when I got back into town to get the fruits I need to make this happen. I started yesterday morning and I'll continue through Wednesday evening. This will probably be my last cleanse for a while given my nutritional needs while training for my marathon but Shakeology will definitely be a regular part of my diet.

Here's the plan:


1. Drink a shake for each of your three daily meals using water instead of milk to mix it (you can use almond milk or similar for 1-2 of these shakes if you need but avoid if you can). Add fruit to 1-2 of these shakes.

2. Flush your body by drinking plenty of water! Drink at least 3-4 liters of water per day. Eliminate any sport drinks, soda, alcoholic, caffeinated, and high sugar drinks. One cup of tea or coffee is allowed without added sugar or creamer.

3. Eat a light dinner (I actually normally do this for lunch as that's usually my biggest meal of the day) consisting of a salad with 4 ounces of white protein (fish or poultry) with a small amount of salad dressing that is light in calories (vinaigrette, olive oil, etc).

4. Fruit makes a good snack and a couple pieces of fruit each day are encouraged.

5. Repeat for three days.

I started on Monday morning at 162 pounds and I'll weigh in again on Thursday morning to note the change. Looking forward to seeing the results again!

My usual grocery list for a cleanse might come in handy for you too and let me know if you would like more information on Shakeology, where you can find it or how amazingly good it is for you! Here's my usual grocery list:
- 1-2 bags prepared salad greens
- 3 tomatoes
- 1 cucumber
- 2 bags of grilled white meat chicken or a package of tofu
- balsamic vinaigrette
- 9 pieces of fruit (I went with apples, nectarines, and apricots this time)
- Carrots
- Unsweetened almond milk (35 calories / 8 oz)

That's about it. Keep watching - I'll let you know how it goes. :-)
