It’s FRIDAY!!  I love Friday.  Just because it’s the end of the workout week for me and the end of the professional work week for me too.  Don’t get me wrong I do adore my day job but like anyone I adore the weekends more.

Update on the boy and his girlfriend.  Day 1 I thought I might have killed him.   Day 2, I thought surely she was going to meet her maker after running up and down the hill in front of garage gym 107.  Day 3 they both came to win, win, win…no matter what, what, what and both refused to stay down.  Being a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer allows me to show them such variety that just about the time they think they are dying the workout is over. 

Ok, let’s get on with the cleanse discussion.  I should really learn to read and pay more attention.  Yesterday I short-changed myself a delicious small organic apple. That my friends will not happen again, this girl will get her food.  Uh huh, no wonder I was famished by the time dinner rolled around. 

OH WAIT!!  It wasn’t me that had dinner, it was the spousal unit and the boy who had dinner.   For those of you who don’t know I am married to the junk food king of the world.   Although I must say as his awareness grows he’s getting better. 

Last night I was going to send the boy to get the two of them some take out.  It was a great plan until the spousal unit says “fried chicken is not good unless you eat it there”.  Ever wanted to punch someone?  But instead I grabbed my keys and headed out the door to sit with them while they ate dinner. 

I came home and immensely enjoyed my shake.  Seriously, by then I was hungry and it was good.   I slept like a rock last night and felt great when I woke up this morning.

A couple of things to note about these shakes.  They contain whey from grass-fed dairy cows.  Why is that important?  I’m a primal eater.  I eat meat, A LOT OF VEGGIES, some fruit, nuts, sweet potatoes and eggs.  I eat gluten-free oats from time to time and I will occasionally have dairy.  Not likely to risk it any time soon after the vacation fiasco though. 

In comparison to my Sonic foot long chili cheese dogs, large tater tots and chocolate milk shakes that I consumed during my 2 year 150# weight gain, I’m a pristine eater.   If I can lose 158# ANYONE CAN!

Today I’m fully prepared for day two of the pre-cleanse and have a much better understanding of the purpose of these two days.

Today is day two of being totally caffeine free.  That may have something to do with the good nights sleep.  I lifted like a beast in the gym this morning so there is no impact on my lifting so far. 

One other thing.  The word “cleanse” strikes fear in the heart of many a woman.  In the back of your mind you are thinking “I’ll be on the john all day every day for nine days” yeah, I know you’re thinking that but that has not been the case at all. 

Tomorrow and Sunday are the first two official cleanse days.  No food allowed.  I’ve done intermittent fasting from time to time but never for two full days in a row.  We shall see what my iron will is really made of. 

Stand-up paddle board here I come!  That ought to keep me busy.
