24-Day Challenge, Day 10: The Cleanse Phase Is Over!

Day 10 of the challenge* means I’ve reached the end of the cleanse phase! Let me tell you, I can feel the difference. It’s amazing how junk food acts like sludge in our bodies. Cars can’t run on junk, and neither can we. 🙂

All right, on to the stats…

Breakfast: Leftover breakfast casserole and a banana

Lunch: Hard-boiled egg; Grape tomatoes; Clementine (I was on the run for lunch today, so I packed some quick and easy foods in a small cooler to take along.)

Supper: Mexican bowl topped with lettuce and diced tomato (Recipe found HERE – I used diced chicken instead of ground turkey)

Snacks: Unsalted peanuts with raisins; Apple; Spoonful of peanut butter; Cherries

Tea of Choice: Mint mélange tea from Trader Joe’s

Exercise: Walking with my family

Energy Level: Really good! Getting out in nature with my family was so much fun, and it felt good to be a couple pounds lighter too. 🙂

Other Observations:

I’ve noticed a big difference in the effectiveness of my workouts the farther I get into the challenge. As I lose the extra fat and toxins, my body functions at a higher level, which makes the workouts really count. Like I said above, what we fuel our bodies with makes a big difference!

That’s it for Day 10! Thanks for hanging in this with me. It’s not easy, but so worth it in the end.
