Prep Week: Day 1

So now I'm getting nervous LOL 

D.Tox sounds like a great idea until it's almost time to do it!!! I'm freaking out about being stuck waiting for the bathroom at work once I start the D.Tox shakes.  I just have no idea what to expect, but one review I read said "As soon as I finished my shake, I had to run to the bathroom..." Ugh, great!  This week is just prep.  Cutting out sugar, caffeine and alcohol.  Steve and I are really going to clean up our eating, though, too.  

Today for breakfast I had 2 hard boiled eggs and some cantaloupe.  Eggs won't be allowed next week, but I figured it'd make for a good breakfast this week.  We baked a ton of chicken yesterday and will use it throughout the week.  Lunch will be an awesome salad topped with fresh mushrooms, black olives and baked chicken.  Not quite positive on dinner yet, but it'll be good :)  I was up early this morning -- ate early, and now it's only 9:30 and I'm hungry. I'll probably have some fruit soon.  Tonight I have to remember to prep out other veggies -- peppers, celery, cucumbers and carrots.  I think a good snack will be celery and this almond butter I picked up.  

I really tried to be good about reading labels yesterday to make sure there was no added sugar.  That's gonna be the tough one.  We all know what has caffiene and alcohol in it, but they try to add sugar to everything!! Definitely helps to shop the perimeter of the store, but you still need to be careful.  

I plan to do some Zumba tonight too to get my sweat on.  Yesterday Steve and I had another training session at the gym.  It was good. I love our trainer. And hey, I didn't nearly pass out this time, so that was a huge plus :)   Man, when I lose 20 lbs again it will make everything SO much easier.  It's just ridiculous.  I try not to dwell too much on where I was, but damn.. it's hard.  But I will get there again, and then I'll go further. 

Alright - I'll keep this fairly short.  Hope everyone is having a great day. I am loving this fall weather.  I'd love to get a new wardrobe, but I'm going to have to wait until I make some progress on the scale :)
