Post Cleanse

Ok, I have actually been done with my cleanse for a little over a week.  But, work and baby has been keeping me busy!  Give me some slack here!

Cleanse Pros:
  • Lots of energy
  • Healthier lifestyle
  • Losing weight and inches
  • Stayed on my diet even on vacation
  • Not craving sweets or carbs
  • Love, Love, Love my Spark drink!!!
Cleanse Cons:
  • The fiber drink isn't my favorite (although not horrible)
  • Wasting 15 minutes of my precious time trying to come up with more cons (does that count?)
I think it is pretty self-explanatory that I loved the cleanse!!  I am currently in the max-phase of my 24 day challenge, and I really don't want these 24 days to end!

Time for some stats:
Day 1
Weight: 165 lbs
Jean size: 12-10
Neck: 13.75 in
Shoulders: 41 in
Chest: 34 in
Arms: 12 in
Waist: 30.5 in
Hips: 40.5 in
Thighs: 24.5 in
Calves: 15 in

Day 10 (cleanse done)
Weight: 161 lbs
Jean size: 10 (mostly)
Neck: Forgot to measure
Shoulders: Forgot to measure
Chest: 34 in
Arms: 12 in
Waist: 29.5 in
Hips: 39.5 in
Thighs: 24 in
Calves: 15 in


Day 18 (my latest measurements)
Weight: 159 lbs
Jean size: 10-8 (some pre-pregnancy jeans)
Neck: Forgot to measure
Shoulders: Forgot to measure
Chest: 33 in
Arms: 12 in
Waist: 28.5 in
Hips: 39 in
Thighs: 24 in
Calves: 14.5 in


Summary:
Day 10: -4 pounds and -2.5 inches 
Day 18: -6 pounds and -5.5 inches loss!! 

Sounds pretty good to me!  I was a little disappointed at only 6 pounds loss, so that is why I measured a little early.  It is nice to see the actual numbers!  Also, all of my pants bought post-pregnancy are HUGE.  My belts are also all on the very last hole (and some are too big on the last hole).  So, screw the scale.  I am very happy with my results so far!  No picture yet (that is going to wait until the end). 

The max phase is similar to the cleans as far as food goes.  The main difference is that now I am taking all kinds of supplements that help with energy, appetite control, and weight loss.  I don't feel much different energy-wise than on the cleanse.  I'm continuing to work out 5-6 days per week.
