My Body has been Reclaimed...by fat...

Hmmm...what's in the box?? Supplements, literature, DVD's, and stuff that makes me gag!! Yay!!

Day 1 is done, son! I had a feeling that today was going to go swimmingly because I ate so much yesterday. My body is still digesting those minutes before midnight Hot Pockets. What did I like most about today? Dinner! What did I dislike most? Alkalinize...aka a green shot of putrid regret. There is no way I'm going to build up a tolerance for that.

Day 2 is through, woo! Much like yesterday, everything was pretty good for a Monday. I definitely missed my coffee, but that was more out of habit than anything. What did I like most about today? Organic almond butter with my green apple. What did I dislike most? Alkalinize...it's just terrible...there are no words.

Day 3:

Day 4:

Day 5 is complete. Today was a pretty normal day; I actually got to go to work today. I'm sore from yesterday's awesome workout, but that didn't stop me from going to the gym tonight to kill it. I am all flab. Reuben deserves to come home to anything other than what I am right now. What did I like most about today? Farina for breakfast...aka Cream of Wheat. What did I dislike most? Eating a green apple during breakfast. That's just too early for a green apple.

Flab proof! This is ridiculous!

(Picture was taken on day two.)

This was me just a couple of months ago after finishing another Beachbody Challenge. Why must I put myself all the way back to the start line every single time?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!

Anyway, let's me get back on topic...

Day 6: I'm pretty angry today. I got on the scale to see a 3lb gain from the beginning of the week. This is not what I signed up for. What did I like most about today? Receiving roses from my amazing husband. What did I dislike most? Numbers.

Day 7: Well, this wraps up the first week of three. The Reclaim Phase is done! I had a great workout today, and I finished a massive assignment that's due tomorrow. I'm trying to stay positive about the weight issue because I know this journey is more about removing toxins from my body and adopting healthier options and blah blah blah blah. Mostly I'm not worried because I signed up for a personal trainer today...take that, fat! What did I like most about today? Not feeling the need to have an afternoon snack. What did I dislike most? Burning the roof of my mouth with sweet potato...instant blister. 

What have I been eating? Well, let me show you a few things...

These are just a few of the meals I've had this past week, nothing vastly different from what I usually eat. Except I don't think I would ever make beans and rice with a sweet potato; that's a lot carbs...but it's delicious. I've also had well over a gallon of water every single day, with no Crystal Light in it...never thought it possible. Be kind to me, week 2...
