Day 3

It is Saturday and I slept in.  Again, I had to get up several times to go to the bathroom.  Just to see how much water I was losing each time, I weight myself.  Each time I lost .4 lbs. 

This morning I weighed myself and I weight 162.8 lbs!  I lost three pounds!  I couldn't believe it.  It set the tone for the rest of the day and motivated me to go to the gym, eat healthy and keep it going!

I felt great and I think I am rubbing off on my husband.  I got him to drink an Advocare spark energy drink before we worked out and a post-workout shake afterwards.  He said he felt great when we got home and starting doing pushups in the middle of the living room after drinking his post workout shake! 

Today, we went to Costco to a few things and I found some great items for my 24 day challenge.   I found cans of Alaskan salmon (about 5 oz and not the typical larger cans you see in the grocery stores).  I also found a soy energy nut blend.  Great for snacking on the go.  The calories are a little high so I am going to have to watch how much I eat of this stuff.  The only other negative was that it had sugared cranberries, which I will have to hand pick out for the first 10 days. 

I did notice today that my calcium intake has been low for the last few days, so I am going to ask Lori if I can take a calcium supplement during this time period.  Since you have to stay off of dairy, I am finding it hard to find calcium sources!
