Day 2
I had 2 assigned classes to teach at the local fitness club.
So I checked the menu and instruction again to see if I could modify the cleanse.

According to the instruction I have, I could add fruit and nuts.
Also I could switch Salad from Dinner menu to Lunch Menu.

Since I had an assigned class at 6:30pm I decided to eat Salad around 3pm to have enough food in my stomach when I workout as a fuel.

Breakfast was ok and I was ok during the class but I felt that I had less NRG than ususal.
I normally have extra power that could allow me to take another class after I teach Turbo but I felt like I used all of my NRG during the class.

It was an amazing class and I did my best but I felt like my energy level was lower that ususal.
I sweat a lot during the class. I can say more than usual.

After the class, I was so hungry but it was not a lunch time yet so I took some fruits.
But I was still hungry so I took Shakeology. It was the great post workout drink for me.

As I mentioned above, I decided to eat Salad at snack time.
It was an great idea and I did not feel any "Less NRG" during my Body Pump class.

I could lift heavy weight as usual.
I could do al squats...lunges...any intense workout...
I did not have any light headed or anything...No Problem at all.

After the class I took shakeogy and went to the Hustle (Dance) class.
This was not my class...I wanted to take the class but I felt less NRG and I had to sit down at 9pm to take a break...

I think this Dance class was too extra during the cleanse and I am glad I did not push myself to workout too much.

Adding Fruits and nuts to your cleanse was the great idea and I recommend all of you to take some extra fruits IF you have to workout during the 3 days...
If you DO NOT have to workout, I recommend you to modify your workout and stick with the cleanse.

Actually this is my 3rd cleanse.

1st time I did this cleanse I took a break from my Insanity workout and I lost 7lb.
2nd time, I did not modify my workout and cleanse  and I failed it...

So this time since I could not modify my workout I modified my cleanse....

Let's see how I did on the Day 3 :)

<Day 1>
The reason I decided to start  Monday Oct is because I worked out so hard at Chalene Johnson's Great Turbo Kick class in Irvine that weekend and my body definitely needed a rest day.

Since I am going to lower my calorie intake I wanted to modify my workout.

In the morning I was busy taking care of my business and at noon, I feel asleep.
I did sleep well Sunday night but I was very sleepy.

In the after noon, I was still busy because I had a plan...at night...

I was a speaker for my daughter's girl scout troop and I talked about Fitness....that was great...and I did not have to stay home and thought about the solid food lol
Great thing was that Girl Scout had dinner for girls so I did not have to prepare dinner for kids ...
(I mean it is super challenging to cook when you "DO NOT " ..CAN'T eat)

I shared my grilled chicken salad with my kids though :)
They were interested in what mommy was eating...

Great start and I had no problem doing the cleanse....


BUT I had to teach 2 classes on Day 2.....

My Belly Fat Journey has began

In May, I got trained for the new weight lifting format to teach.
Since I had no lifting experiences (as an instructor) I practiced so hard.
I gained muscles but I ended up being sick for one month.

I could not eat well and I could not workout for 2 weeks.
I lost weight as well as lost most of the muscles I have build.

When I got better, my appetite was huge and I ate a lot.
I slowly went back to the class and I could not control this "big" portion" eating habit.

I gave myself excuse "I have started teaching new format and I will be ok. I need to eat to maintain NRG"

But recently I realized I actually gained 5lb and BELLY FAT.

I knwo Muscle is heavier than the fat but my pants got smaller due to thoese belly fat and I was sure I gained "FAT" 

The bad thing was  that I have been building my body and I was happy where I was before I got sick.
I was in the middle of the body transformation journey but I was moving toward my goals slowly.

However after I got recovered from this sick and started gaining weight...I felt so bad at myself.

So Oct 25th...I decided to JUMP START my "Belly Fat" Journey.


In addition to the new journey, I decided to jump start my transformation by doing the cleanse.
