Day Two - Fruit Cleanse

Before reading into this post, go check out what the cleanse is all about. 

And check out what happened during Day One.

--

Waking up to day two, knowing that we would be forced to munch on fruit for a majority of the day was dreadful. The Hubby and I immediately stepped on the scale and were surprised.

Me - 126.5 lb 

Hubby - 182.5 lb

That puts me down 2 pounds from the beginning of the cleanse and Hub down 4.5 pounds.

Insert happy dance.

Even better, we felt more energetic even though we were slightly hungry. Double bonus.

After we did our happy dance, we made a cup of coffee and started with our first serving of fruit. 

I ate a pear and Hubby ate one banana. A few minutes after eating his banana he was starving so added an apple to his first serving. First failure. 

We managed through our morning routine or what we have of a routine and ate our second serving of fruit two hours after the first. We both chowed down a delicious orange and 

Hub added an additional piece of fruit. Second failure.

Finally, two long hours later, we ate our third meal of fruit. 

This is where our major failure occurs. 

We caved. Like two hungry wolves fighting over one piece of meat.

Maybe an overstatement.

But we absolutely lost our minds and went to Chili's after eating that piece of fruit.

  

What did we eat at Chili's? Definitely nothing healthy - chips and salsa, miller light, and shared crispy chicken tacos. It was soo good but our body rejected it instantly.

For dinner we decided to be healthier than lunch and we both had a salad. 

That definitely made me feel better about failing the three day cleanse.

Then... dessert happened! Yup, dessert. 

These little guys were calling my name. However, I limited myself to only one 

while Hubs dug his spoon into delicious ice cream.

Before bed, we stepped on the dreaded scale only to see these results.

Me - 128 lb

Hubby - 185 lb 

We may have failed the short three day cleanse but it has completely changed my eating habits. 

We tried to go back to eating how we were at Chili's but our body did not know what to do.

Now I just want to continue to be conscious of what I am eating and the amount I am eating. Also, to be able to cook in the kitchen since we are done with the moving process will be a huge help rather than eating out.

Have you ever failed when trying a cleanse or detox.

Day One - Fruit Cleanse

Before reading into this post, go check out what the cleanse is all about.

Day One is pretty simple. 

One protein shake every 2 hours from 8a-4p, then a salad for dinner.

The Hubby and I used a Chocolate GNC powder, plus milk and water for our protein drinks. 

The actual cleanse calls for a particular type of protein powder but we already had the GNC on hand.

After about the first 3 drinks, they started getting harder and harder to choke down. Although, we were not allowed to eat much solid food, the drinks were very satisfying- I hardly felt hungry all day. 

Next came time for the dinner. We had romaine lettuce, cucumbers, green peppers, and snow peas. We decided to cheat again and use ranch dressing rather than just olive oil. 

All in all, day one was easy as pie boy I wanted pie but left me wanted something to chew on besides a salad. One tip, never be too far from the bathroom - you will be doing to potty dance a lot. We were constantly peeing due to the amount of liquids we were taking in.

Here is our starting and ending weight for Day One.

Me - 128.5 lb (am) to 128 lb (pm)

Hubby - 187 lb (am) to 185.5 lb (pm)

Come back tomorrow to find out how Day Two goes.

New Year - Fruit Cleanse

Happy New Year Everyone.

This past month of December has been a month of horrible eating habits and dining out a lot while we moved across country photos coming soon. I have not started talking about new year's resolutions because I really do not have one. Although, from all of that junk food and eating out, my body is just not the same. I gained 3 pounds and just feel very ill.

So why not start out the new year with a cleanse? 

That is exactly what the Hubs and I are doing. 

I thought it might be fun to share our journey with you - from beginning to end.

But first, a little back story about the cleanse we are following. 

It is called Fruit Flush 3 Day Cleanse.

The detox was developed by Jay Robb who is a nutritionist, fitness trainer and entrepreneur.

The cleanse is used to increase overall body health and to remove 

contaminants from the body to increase stamina.

The cleanse consists of one day of a protein shake every 2 hours (from 8a-4p) and a 3-6 cup green salad at 6p. Then the second and third day includes one serving of fruit every 2 hours (from 8a-4p) and a 3-6 cup green salad at 6p. All of the foods must be raw and uncooked. 

More information can be found in his book.

We are planning on following this plan as closely as possible. 

However, we are also making a few adjustments.

Tomorrow is a review of our first day.
