Day 3... I woke up hungry at 4:42am

The Let's call a spade a spade... 4:30 am, windows open.... the freaking birds are chirping like its armageddon, full moon, and my stomach growled.

Today I have to incorporate a run into this new cleanse/life change. Its a short run, only 3ish miles. Every mile burns about 100 calories. So lets do the math...

2 shakes @280        560 calories
2 snacks @60          120 calories
1 meal aprx.            400 calories
coffee                        50 calories
__________________________
       that's              1,130 calories for the day

* fun fact* 🔝 I didn't use "common core math"🔝😂

so, I just gave myself an extra 350 calories from running 3.42 miles, that I need to fill? Or add more food? hmmmmmm lots to figure out!

Now.... I GOTTA have carbs to run. I'm sitting here scratching my head. I feel like i've been left in an Indiana Jones movie, The last Crusade and I'm in the cave of Chalices. I MUST choose the right one, or my face will melt off when I look at the wrong cup... or was that was the Raiders of the last Ark...
well, anyway.. you get where I'm going with this.

Here's my choice... ( and don't think, I didn't think about this for 16 hours yesterday)

Cup of coffee... ZERO honey. Cream only, 1tsp ( this is HELL)
1 PIECE of toast with 1tsp of honey spread on it. Don't judge, it wasn't BUTTER!

NOW...  on to the task of the day.... The ballgame. The K. Kauffman Stadium. Royals game. Tailgating. Beer, hotdog, peanuts. fries. pizza. chips, chips, chips, chips.....

I've already googled the food at the stadium.

1  Leinenkugel Summer Shandy       150 calories... yes please!
1 Royals Farmland stadium hotdog
 with zero calorie mustard                  240 calories  ( yes, I know its meat, but its a BALLGAME.... i'm doing it for the team)
1oz, ( half cup shelled) peanuts          160 calories ....
and here's where I might have an epic fail, they are kryptonite
_________________________________________________________________________________
                                                           550 calories, when sticking with the plan
in the Morgan Freeman voice: will she do it. will she stick with the food budget..... Inquiring minds wait....

Not really the Ideal evening meal... but hey... a girl gotta do, what she do!

6am run: wow... that felt great! Oddly enough this is how it felt. CLEAN... I felt like all my organs were well lubed... cobwebs blown out, dust, debris removed. Joints, muscles and bones felt great. I was breathing clean! I've never felt like this before. Ive been running for 3 years!
Although it was supposed to be an easy slow run, I was rocking my pace by a whole minute ahead of my norm. and still barely in the red zone ( you runners know about the HR zones.... shhhhh secret code talk)
I felt light and buoyant! YIPPPPPEEEEEE!
And this was my sunrise as it graces my steps....

-TRYING now, with just the 30 day cleanse, how to recoup after a 3.42 mile run. I usually have peanut butter toast and another cup of coffee. 😭 NOT TODAY!!

8am, french vanilla pro shake with an 1/8 tsp. of almond extract...... ummm, yeah, that did nothing. Still creamy and light. Im not used to "hint" of flavor. Good thing I have 30 days to reset this sweet tooth.
*fight the fight

10:30- chocolate snack time! Mmmm

stretched out my lunch shake as far as I could! 11:45 hit and I was growling again. Such strange noise and alarming feeling.
made it to

12:35- chocolate Isalean pro.... this time I used unsweetened organic almond milk. 40 calories for my shake. They say water.... I got to thinking. I am a runner. I am in training. I can't neglect my system. A little more *bam ---might keep the hunger at bay and I have some cushion room to spare an extra 40 calories. ( hope Im right on this!)

And 1:30 I was feeling chilled, hanging at home doing some laundry and packing for my trip this weekend, when I remembered the company's sent me a free box of their coffee!!
Medium roast, blended with green tea extract, trace minerals, coconut oil. Hints of chocolate and citrus 

.....And this is me enjoying my first black- ZERO ADD INS- cup-o-Joe 

I really liked it! They have organic too!
Ahhhhh coffeeeeeeee! 💃🏻happy heather

3pm my delightful isa chocolate snack

Aaaannnnd  now the ballgame....
The most delightful beer I think I've ever had. One ballpark hotdog... And I gotta say... My tummy is full. 4th inning 5th, 6th, 7th 8th, 9th... ZERO desire to go get more food....
SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!  That's soooooooo unlike me!  Drank my water all those innings. Im pretty proud of myself. And the temptation is aaaaalmost.... gone!
If day three brings me a comfortable full belly after just those two things... I think I'll be a isagenix lifer!

I'm really just speechless about this whole thing!

Another challenge awaits! My cleanse day is today.. Friday. I'm traveling after work. I have  no clue what to expect. I'm biting my nails in suspense!

stay tuned!
