Day 16
I'm not sure why, but I was hungry for most of Day 16. I just could not shake it. I kept trying to distract myself so I wouldn't think about food. It was a hard day (eating wise).
B'fast - coffee, ban/bb/pb2/choc/spinach shake
Snack - greek yogurt, brown rice cake with almond butter
Lunch - strawberry/van/spinach shake
Snack - nuts, dried cranberries
Dinner - turkey, brown rice/quinoa bowl w/avocado, watermellon
Snack - peach
Exercise: Quick body pump at home
Water: ? About 60 ounces. Not enough.
weigh in...
So, I decided to weigh and I was a little disappointed. I was hoping to be down another pound, but I wasn't. I am the same as I was when I weighed on Friday (down 5). I'm pretty sure I had a few too many homemade protein bars over the weekend. They are pretty yummy and I tend to not be able to stay away when I make them. I won't be making any more of those for a while. I also have not exercised as much since Friday, or had enough water. I will strive to have more water and workout harder the rest of this week. I will also stay away from the protein bars (and the meatloaf)! ;)
Ironically, the weight I am now seems to always be the weight I get stuck on. It seems like when I see this number on the scales, I plateau. Not sure why, but getting under my current weight is no easy task. In the past, I had to mix things up to lose more weight. I am going to try increasing water and exercise and decreasing my snacks, first. If that doesn't work, I may have to take a day or 2 "off" the cleanse to jump start my metabolism again. I did this in the past and then got right back to business and I saw a drop in my weight. I really don't want to do that, though, because I don't know if I am strong enough to take a day or 2 "off" yet. I'm going to see how this week goes and then decide.
On to day 17!
