Purification Day 7: 1 Week Down!

I made it through the first week! That's quite an accomplishment and I'm proud of myself. I haven't cheated and I've been drinking those dreadful shakes twice a day.

I also feel really good and I've been super motivated. Today I tried this jump rope interval video and it kicked my butt! It got my heart rate going and I was working up a sweat. I also did this ab video and this inner thigh challenge from Blogilates. I want to get fit!

One side-effect, not sure if it's from the purification, is that I just broke out in pimples on my neck. So weird! It could be part of the purification, a way that the toxins are leaving the body. It's very strange, and frustrating, and hopefully they'll go away soon.

Here were my meals for the day:

Breakfast: Apple Cinnamon Surprise
- 1 medium apple (peeled)
- 1 small banana
- 1/2 tsp of cinnamon
- water
- 1 tbs of whole food fiber
- 2 tbs of SP Complete
- 2 tbs of Whey Pro Complete
(I really liked this shake! The only problem was that it was a little too much cinnamon for me, so next time I think I'll reduce it to 1/2 a teaspoon.)

Lunch: Banana-Spinach Shake
- Once again I stuck with the same recipe so I wouldn't be stranded at lunch.

Dinner: Leftovers & Sweet Potato Fries


- We had left over Stuffed Portobellos from last night.

- I also made sweet potato fries as a late night snack and they were delicious! They were soft on the inside which is what I like and they were gone in minutes. I'll definitely have to make them again. You can find the recipe I used here.
