Day ONE...

Ugh! This is going to be short and sweet...Today is Day ONE of the Advocare 10 Day Herbal Cleanse and to say I'm exhausted and drained would be an understatement! Here are the basic rules for the cleanse and the info really helped me prepare, both mentally and food-wise. Seeing the do's and dont's in black and white yesterday was like a slap in the face!

I have to be honest, this is my THIRD go around with this same cleans and I've yet to make it past Day FOUR or FIVE without cheating and completely falling off the cleanse wagon by the end of the 10 days! What's different this time!? A little thing known as CANCUN! The countdown is ON! Three weeks until sand, sun and swimsuits! That's enough to make anyone do whatever it takes to shed a few pounds like NOW!

I'm going to try to do a short recap daily, not only because I know you B Faces are dying to know just how miserable I am, but more so as a way to keep myself on track...hopefully! Megan @ It's A Grimm Thing also started the cleanse today and we've already been texting about how badly she needed coffee this AM and how hungry I was this afternoon! I hope this "Buddy System" helps us both!

Day ONE!!
1. Drank Fiber Drink as soon as I got up!
2. Chugged the H2O like there was no tomorrow, over 100 ounces! Holla!
3. No workout today.
4. I will take my Herbal Cleanse Pills (3) before I go to bed.

Here's what I are today, I was going to just post MyFitnessPal daily log but posting from my phone isn't user-friendly good old fashioned typing it is...
Breakfast - Fiber Drink
AM Snack - Spark
Lunch - 2 Celery Sticks, 2 tbsp of Natural PB, medium sized Banana
PM Snack - Spark
Dinner - 10 oz.. Grilled Chicken, 1.5 cups of Green Beans.
Total Calories = 725
I'm definitely planning to increase my calorie intake some tomorrow. I was rushed this AM to get out the door and just grabbed whatever was in reach the easiest and quickest!


Mood/Energy - The morning started out well and I was in good spirits. I became pretty agitated and on edge this afternoon, tonight is pure exhaustion. Like it's 7:45pm and I could easily close my eyes and be out!

Day ONE Down and ZERO Cheating! Boom! Here's to NINE more... FML!

H&O Workout Tank Review...

Morning Ladies!  The Lovely Taylor at Hazel & Olive Boutique sent me the very FIRST Stronger Than You Think workout tank from her new line about a month ago!  Sadly, just this week has been the first time I've gotten to wear them (I purchased one of the Drop It Like A Squat tanks) since I haven't been able to workout since the BOOBS happened!  Now, I have to say - I'm not normally a huge fan of tank tops for working out, or in general, but these tanks are amazing!  I still might not show them off in public because I'm conceited and insecure like that when it comes to my huge arms and back fat, but I'll rock these bad girls all around my house for now and I'm hoping in another 15 pounds I'll be good with rocking them on the road or at the Y or wherever!

But seriously, these tanks are the SOFTEST material ever!  They are super lightweight and a great length!  I would say they run a bit on the small(er) side, both of mine are Larges and they aren't big by any means.  Overall though, I love them and I'm just waiting for her to make an I Love Kansas tank!  Hint!  Hint!

H&O has tons of color options and sayings to chose from! 
Taylor also recently added a t-shirt style to the line as well!

This Incline Walking Workout is Tough! 
Work by Iggy Azalea is my current FAVORITE workout song - you should totally check it out!
I also only wear Urban Halo headbands when I work out!  They are great for me b/c I sweat...alot!

We're Going Back, Back...

To Liebster Awards!  I had a good plan back in January for how I was going to tackle my original 10 nominations for the infamous Liebster Award...The plan was in action and I managed to tackle 5 out of the 10 nominations with Liebster Award Part 1 and I know I made a Liebster Award Part 2 video, but I'm pretty sure I never got it uploaded...FML!

 

I was nominated again by the Amazing Jennifer @ FatChick2FitChick and the Realist Rachel @ Rachel Runs Her Mouth !!  I'm still super excited to be nominated and I've made the Executive, because I am the HBIC around here, to answer their questions today via Vlog.  At this point I still have good intentions to answer all the questions, but I figure I might as well answer these while they are FRESH!

 

 

The Rules:
1. You must thank the person who nominated you for the award.
2. You must write eleven facts/things/tidbits about yourself.
3. You must answer eleven questions that were given to you from your nominator.
4. You must nominate eleven other bloggers who have 200 or less followers and tag them in your acceptance post.
5. You must create eleven new questions for your nominees to answer in their acceptance post.
6. You must notify your eleven nominees on their blog, so they can accept their award and pay it forward.
7. You must not nominate the person who nominated you.

 

Enjoy!

Aaaahhh! I totally got cut off right at the end of the VLOG! I'm not re-recording it...sorry, I'm not sorry!  The dress is the Exclusive H&O Label This Way That Way dress that was re-stocked just yesterday!  Hurry over there and grab yourself one!  It is the MOST comfortable dress with the SOFTEST material I've ever worn!  #truth  Here are some pics, of my multiple personalities at work this AM, oh and that's the dress too!

Weigh In Wednesday...

Hey, Hey!

It's Wednesday!  You know what that means...we all force ourselves to step on to the dreaded scale and see the damage we've done for the past week.  I used to be like an everyday "weigher" but Molly kept calling me cray for doing that - so now I'm really trying to only weigh once a week on Wednesday!  Haha!  I don't want to be that cray blogger girl!

Today marks the 3 week point in Erin's DietBet!  Eek!  The first DietBet I participated in I missed my goal by 0.4 pounds - Bitch!  So I'm detemined to make it this time and I think I'm totally on track to do just that!  I'm surprised because I haven't been able to work out throughout this entire DietBet due to the New and Improved Boobs!  However, at Monday's post-op with Dr. OB he said that I didn't have to tape anymore and could start low impact cardio, lower body and ab workouts as long as I was comfortable with it and it didn't hurt.  If it hurts I'm not supposed to do it - whatever it may be.  So I'm stoked and I have these two workouts on the menu for this evening...

Weigh In Wednesday Stats...

Week 1 Weigh In: Down 5.6 Pounds! Holla! Only 1.2 Pounds until Goal, Bay-Bay!

Week 2 Weigh In: Down 5.0 Pounds (Gained 0.6 Pounds)! Only 1.8 Pounds until Goal!

Week 3 Weigh In: Down 6.2 Pounds (Lost 1.2 Pounds)! Only 0.6 Pounds until Goal! Boom!
