Day 1 of ISA

Morning-Today is the day. Let's talk about last night 1st. I went to the pizza party. Lots of pizza and amazing homemade deserts. OH WOW. I held off having pizza for as long as I could but I gave in. One huge slice of pepperoni. I did soak as much of the grease off as I could(who the hell is this woman). Then a desert or two or 4. I can't remember, which is bad(oh there she is). So very bad. And then the kids were cranky and I was mad at myself so I took them home, changed my clothes and hit the trail. I had a nice 3.25 mile walk again and my shins feel a bit better this morning. I need to hit the trail about 30 min earlier than I did last night but it was still very much worth going out and getting it done. I took all my measurements after my shower and wrote those down. No big reveal till after the 11 days.

I can tell you that according to my scale, I am down 5 pounds from when I 1st started all of this back up without the ISA. Which is a pound per day so far. However I know as well as you know, it's mostly water weight. 200, 195...

And onto the start. I had the shot of supreme this morning while I was getting ready for work, I think that is what I took and not the cleanse...I was kinda in a sleepy fog at the time. I added it in 8oz of water to help chase it down. It isn't stomach turning. Weird in color and has a bitter apple taste. But I am not used to eating anything till mid-morning so now my stomach is growling. Also, I think I need a new shaker. I hear the company is so awesome at switching products and flavors that I think getting one that doesn't leak shouldn't be a issue. I did make a cup of coffee-6oz and will make my shake around 8. Snack at 10 and lunch around noon. The nice thing is that MFP already has my things logged since I did it a head of time. I just have to make sure I track the exact snacks and anything extra I eat for lunch. And that I stay on schedule. And lots of water but I am counting the 8 I had already and the 8 that will make my shake.

8am-1st accelerator is down, shake is down. Shake taste is good. Not super sweet and over vanilla flavor. Almost has a hit of nutmeg or cinnamon in it. It does need to be colder so I may need to bring ice cubes from home or make sure the bottle of water I grabbed is super cold. Or get a cube tray from the $1 store and just make cubes here to help shake it up and break it up. Oh and another odd side effect is very bad breath. From what I understand it is caused by the release of toxins. Good thing I am a avid gum chewer.

10am-It was actually a bit after 10 that I looked at the clock and thought oh, I need to have my snack. So I had 5.5oz of pineapple. I am taking my time eating it, I wasn't really hungry but knew from reading that snacks are very important to keeping your body working and not feeling starved. My gosh I have been peeing a lot!

Lunch-warmed up my lunch, a Lean Cuisine. Which is lean and in the calorie range, still loaded with "toxins". I am kinda making fun of that word I know, but seriously, we breathe toxins all day long. And for what I paid for the program, a few in my food may just have to be ok. Also, I put flavor packets in my water, another no no. But I feel this program is going to be doing more than just ridding my body of toxins. I want it to help me lose weight and inches of course but to also teach me, once again, how to measure, track and pay attention to everything I eat and the activity I do. Anyhow I had that and raspberries, yogurt and veggie straws. I am still well within my range of calories for the day without working out, which I plan on still doing. I also took my accelerator as directed. So far so good.

Evening-Well it was a pretty good day with the program. I did have a small freak out when I went to check my calories on MFP and saw there was only 100 left...silly me had already logged my dinner shake and forgot. Opps.  I never did have my afternoon snack. I just wasn't hungry enough for it. I made my chocolate shake-again ok flavor, with 1/2 cup frozen strawberries and bananas. That was pretty decent. Then I went for my walk. I tried to get the MapMyWalk ap to work on my phone and it's being a pain in the ass. I am going to use that on my walk Friday.



Nothing much for the rest of the night. Going to sip on my water and take the flush pill before I go to bed. Hopefully I sleep good.
