3 Day Cleanse/Detox - Day 3

Before I give away my end results of my 3 day cleanse/detox let me talk about Day 3. Day 3 started off great.  I slept well again, felt ready to go in the morning and thank God because it was a busy day at work. After work I had a small challenge. I couldn't get home right after work like I had planned. I needed to eat early because I had a 2 hour training ride scheduled.  At home, I was going to eat a veggie soup filled with plenty of starches, (potatoes, squash, lentils, carrots, celery, and some other stuff).

Let me back track to day 2. I forgot to mention that on day 2 I weighed myself because I felt like I was losing too much weight.  Before the detox I anticipated losing between 3-5 pounds, but I was hoping to stay closer to 3 pounds.  On day 2 I had already lost 3 pounds.  Forward to day 3.

I weighed myself on Day 3 and I was down 5 pounds. In order to be able to get my training in (which was a spin in zone 1-2 with a few hard efforts), I was going to need more calories.  So my options were fast food, burgers, tacos, burritos, Thai food, fried chicken, pizza or Vietnamese.   I chose Vietnamese.  I ordered  veggie pho, with veggie broth and I asked them to add fish.  The rice noodles are not the best during a detox but I needed the calories to keep me from losing more weight and for my training.

This detox was meant for anti-inflammation (prevention) and to get me on fat burning mode to prepare me for my next training phase which begins next week. I could have easily waited to get home to eat my veggie soup. If I did that, I would have missed my training ride because I would have gotten home too late. My overall goal is to prepare for competition, so I didn't want to sacrifice my training ride.

At the end of it all, I still accomplished my goal on this cleanse/detox even though I had to make adjustments on the last day.  My joints and muscles feel great.  I lost 2% body fat in these 3 days. I weighed myself on Day 4 in the morning and I lost a total of 6 pounds. Weight loss was not my focus, but it was expected.

Fitness and health is a life journey.  Life happens to all of us and our plans are not going to be perfect.  But as long as we keep taking small consistent daily steps toward our goals, we'll keep making progress in life.
