Day 10

My migraine went away so I was feeling much better.  I ate well and I took a zumba class, which gave me an hour of exercise.  Rachelle really challenged me today because she told me she'd take out a hard song if I could do all of the moves.  There is this one part that I have a difficult time with because you start by facing the right side of the room and you do a squat and then you turn to face the left side by hopping 3 times and you do another squat & it's repeated a bunch of times.  I usually modify this part and just do squats in one place because I don't have the stamina to do all of that jumping and it hurts my boobs when they bounce a lot.

I knew that the other ladies were counting on me to do it, though because I think they hate that song as much as I did.  So I did it!  It was really tough and I felt like I was going to die towards the end of the song, but I did it.  I also did the jumping parts in all of the other songs on her playlist and by the end of the hour, I was drenched with sweat and so tired but I felt good!

I had to go grocery shopping later in the day, so I tried to plan out a bunch of healthy meals.  People complain about the high cost of healthy food but I found that I actually spent about $50 less for 2 weeks than I normally do.  I also bought a lot less meat and I didn't realize until after I was putting my groceries away that I didn't plan any meals with red meat.  This wasn't intentional but I'm sure it's good for us.  In fact, I got to thinking about it and aside from the steak that I had last week, we haven't had red meat in over a month.  Since Aaron isn't home, I've been cooking a lot more chicken because I don't have to worry about making a variety of meals. 

It's the last day of the cleanse phase so tomorrow I will start taking the MNS and I will replace my breakfast with a shake.  I'm looking forward to the shakes because I'm sick of eggs.  And the shakes are chocolate mocha... mmmm.... chocolate....
