I am finishing up my advocare cleanse this week, and this time around (my 3rd time) doing the cleanse has been by far the easiest. I am down a few pounds, and feeling really great. I love doing the cleanse so much, it’s amazing how well it makes me feel and cuts the junk out of my diet too. As you can see I’ve been eating really well, no starving here. This week I am also going to share a cookie recipe that can be eaten on the cleanse, sugar, gluten and dairy free.
I decided to start including my exercise plans for the week as well. I plan on doing level 2 of the 30 day shred 3-4 times this week, as well as a 2-3 runs, and hopefully 1-2 yoga sessions. I am slightly addicted this Jillian Michaels: Yoga Meltdown
, I love this workout so much. It’s hard, good and leaves me feeling so refreshed each time.
