I'm getting sooo many inquiries on how I lost 8lbs in only 5 days! Thank you all for your support and motivation to keep me going. My main motivation is my husband coming home on the 27th of this month, and my best friend's wedding in mid-October, but believe me, all of the amazement and compliments are really helping! I wanted to share with you my day-to-day. *Read if you have time, this is going to be long.*
6am - Wake up and do a light exercise that I just find from the internet (something that will just get me awake and moving
6:30am - Cup of coffee with some Italian Sweet Cream creamer
8:00am - Breakfast: 1/2 Grapefruit, 2 Hardboiled Eggs, Vanilla Almond Granola with Fruit in Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk, Egg Whites and Turkey Bacon
- Drink 8oz of Water
- Take my Daily Supplements (I take Centrum, Iron and Sublingual B-12)
10:00am - Drink 8oz of Water
11:00am - Put boys down for a nap and do this workout. Right now, I'm only doing 1 circuit as opposed to the suggested 2-3, not only because I feel that I need to move slowly to get myself back in shape, but because I need to do other things while the boys nap!! lol.

4:00pm - Drink 8oz of Water
5:00pm - Dinner: Green Smoothie - Believe me, you will LoVe this. YES it's green - NO you can't taste the spinach AT ALL! There are so many variations of the green smoothie, but I'm sticking to one this week mainly because of my budget for grocery shopping... plus it's working, so why fix/change something that's not broken!? OH! By the way, I plan on only doing this smoothie for a week (I'll be finishing up the week on the 8th) then I'll be eating healthy dinners for a week, then go back to the smoothies, etc. I get a lot of recipes from this girl's blog: http://undressedskeleton.tumblr.com/
*ReCiPe*
2cups Spinach
1cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
1/2cup Plain Greek Yogurt
1 Frozen Banana
1Tbsp Reduced Fat Peanut Butter
1 Scoop Vanilla Whey Protein
Stick in a blender and mix that bad boy up until all smooth and a nice happy shade of healthy greenness!
Drink up! It's a filling shake - I personally can't ever finish the whole thing because I get so full, so you should be good with being able to replace a whole meal with it!! If not, my suggestion would be to fill up on other healthy snacks - maybe baby carrots, a baked sweet potato with cinnamon sprinkled in it... there are so many ideas that I've found right here off the good ol' internet!
6:00pm - Drink 8oz of Water
9:00pm - Sometimes I end up drinking a nice glass of wine and just relax...
10:00pm - Bedtime!! I haven't done amazing with going to bed by this time, but a few nights I have. I am trying to get at least 8hrs.
Hope this helps everyone! It's really doing good things for me and I hope it will for you too! I'm so excited for my hubby to be coming home and I want to look AmAzInG for him! I have 2 more lbs to loose before getting to the weight I was right before I got pregnant with Carter, I fit into my size 9 jeans, and I feel so good and energetic! Definitely worth the changes that I've made!

PS: These pics were taken of me on 9/5. I was wearing my size 9 pre-pregnancy jeans that I haven't been able to wear in over 3 years! I COULD NOT get them to button prior to this diet. It's amazing what 8lbs can do! Can't wait to be down another 8 lol! I still have 58lbs to get to my ultimate goal.
