Purification Day 2: I Hate Shakes

Here I am on day two and I already hate drinking shakes twice a day. When I woke up this morning I was already dreading drinking a shake. Don't get me wrong, they taste great but I just don't enjoy the majority of my meals in liquid form. 

That being said, I better suck it up and get used to it because there are only two days down, and 19 to go.

Other than my shake problem, I'm feeling great. I don't feel sick or anything, only a slight headache towards the end of the day, which is making the beginning of this purification easy. 

I forgot to mention yesterday that I plan on including moderate exercise every day. You can't do strenuous exercise while on the purification so I plan on doing abdominal work outs and some total body workouts. 

Right now I am loving the Blogilates YouTube channel. There are tones of great ab, butt, leg and arm workouts that are perfect for the amount of exercise I can do.

Here were my meals for the day: 

Breakfast: Banana-Berry Shake

- 1/2 cup of blueberries

- 1/2 cup of strawberries 

- 1/2 banana 

- water & crushed ice 

- 2 tbs of Whey Pro Complete

- 2 tbs of SP Complete

- 1 tbs of whole food fiber

Lunch: Lentil & Sweet Potato Hummus w/ Cucumber Slices & Mango-Avocado Spinach Shake

Lentil & Sweet Potato Hummus: 

I found this recipe from Whole Foods. I can't have chick peas on the purification so the lentil and sweet potato combination tastes great and works great for hummus. I sliced half of a cucumber for dipping.

I also had the Mango-Avocado Spinach shake which I had yesterday. 

Dinner: Asparagus and Yams

- Roast yams at 400 degrees for 45 minutes

- Simmer asparagus in water then sauté in oil, salt and pepper
