To start off, after day one I was down 2 pounds. I've been on a stall for several months, so for me this 2 pounds was awesome to see! I struggled with a couple more things on day 2, but I am trying new foods, so I expect it. One other thing I noticed was that I was tired in the afternoon, but I didn't get much sleep the night before. I also took some allergy meds that make me sleepy, so all that combined caused me to crash. In this challenge if you feel like you are getting tired they recommend another dose of B12, I opted out of that so I could sleep.

The Liver Cleanse - Changed it up on Day 2

If you read the blog on Day 1, you'll know that the liver cleanse made me sick. So today I changed it up a little bit. I mixed the cranberry juice with the B12 and drank it first thing. I then added the lemon to my first round of water and eliminated the apple cider vinegar. I didn't feel sick at all, so this is the modified cleanse I will use going forward. I've done some reading on the liver cleanse and some say it's crap, so I don't feel too bad about not doing it.

Breakfast - Breakfast Tacos

This was very yummy (I'm beginning to think they have breakfast nailed). Once again the egg was a 5 white to 1 yolk ratio and they were perfectly cooked. The corn tortilla was a nice contrast to the tiny bit of spice in the turkey. I ate one taco which is half of a small and I couldn't finish it. This is one of my favorite meals so far. The breakfast taco (half a portion) contained 160 Calories, 5.5g Fat, 12 Carbs, and 14g Protein.

Snack 1 - Fit Cottage

I did not like this at all. I don't like cottage cheese, but I hadn't tried it since my sleeve so I gave it a go. No no no. Not for me. If you like cottage cheese you'd probably love this snack. The fruit was good, but some of my blueberries were mushy. I can't say that I'll be eating this snack again. The Fit Cottage contains 200 Calories, 2g Fat, 34 Carbs, and 12g Protein.

Lunch - Turkey Pasta

This was pretty good. I'm still not 100% sure how much I like it. It was a little spicy but overall it was a yummy spaghetti type of dish. I took half of a small and couldn't finish the half that I took. I don't have much to say on this one because I just don't know how I feel about it. The half portion has 135 Calories, 6g Fat, 17.5 Carbs, and 8g Protein.

Snack 2 - Fit Cookie :wub:

This was really yummy. I didn't know what to think because of the gluten free, no soy, no wheat, and no egg, but it was soft and tasty and kept me satisfied well past when I was supposed to eat dinner. They sell these in boxes, but I don't recommend getting them if you have a sweet tooth they may not last lol. The cookie has 150 Calories, 6g Fat, 18 Carbs, and 10g Protein.

Dinner - Roasted Chicken and Veggies

I didn't know what to think of this. It doesn't look impressive and I was skeptical of the pesto sauce. It was actually really really good. The pesto sauce made all the difference. The chicken was well flavored and not dry. I ate most of the half I served myself (again half of a small). The portion of chicken I ate had 160 Calories, 11.5g Fat, 3.5 Carbs, and 10.5g Protein.

So day 2 had mixed emotions for me. I was able to eat everything, but struggled at times. I was able to get in half an hour on the bicycle today. We ended the night by making lemon slushies (crushed ice with a lemon squeezed over it) and those were super tart lol. I had more calorie intake today and way less protein. I am going to look at the things I ate to day and either do a different combo, or ask to have the lower protein items removed from my plan.

Totals for Day 2:

Calories - 805

Fat - 28.5

Carbs - 85

Protein - 54.5

Water - 80 oz

Weight Lost - 2 lbs
