It's no secret that I've had difficulty (lack of control) in losing weight after giving birth to Danny. I suppose it's a mixture of the lack of sleep, change in schedule (being a stay-at-home mom for a year), and just plain laziness. I was excited when a friend of mine posted a 30 day challenge--to eat cleanly with the help of Arbonne products. I had already purchased the protein powder and fiber boost and have plenty of it. I decided to try the fizzys (they're a great, natural alternative to soda), detox tea, 7 day detox, detox bath soak, and the metabolism boost. After Christmas, I made it a point to hop on the elliptical for 25 minutes a day. That kind of went south last week when I jumped back into work and had All County rehearsal among other crazy things. I had a great weekend, though and managed to get back on board. Now, here's hoping I can keep it up and lose 20 pounds!!!
With that being said, I had an egg white veggie sandwich for breakfast and a large diet coke (I know, but I have to have a treat somewhere).
To hold off the hunger and soda cravings, I had 2 fizzy sticks.
Lunch included a chocolate protein shake.

| YUM! |
And for dinner, I'm making a lovely vegetable soup including many colors of the rainbow: Yellow-Onion, Green-Cabbage, Orange-Carrot, Red-Bell Pepper. Okay, I'm missing blue and purple. Sue me.

I'm a firm believer that the more colorful the meal is, the better it is for you.
That's what I say and that's what I'll stick to! |
Day 1: Success so far! I still have to get on the elliptical. I just hope I can keep my energy up to do so!!!!!
