Up and at it a heck of a lot earlier on Day 8. Back to work - half days only for the next three weeks but I like getting back to a regular routine.
Breakfast....big surprise...another smoothie. I sometimes don't have a huge appetite in the morning so I find a smoothie really does do the trick.
Even though I was only going to be working for 4 hours, I made sure I packed a snack in case I got hungry. I packed some jerky and a handful or raw walnuts. You really need to bring some healthy snacks with you during the day. It's far too easy to go to the vending machine and grab a chocolate bar or chips if you don't.
Got my workout in when I got home. I did an AM RAP of Wall push ups, squats, crunches and half - burpees for 21 minutes and then followed it up with core work of 10 roll ups, 10 leg lifts, 10 ankle reaches and 9 reverse crunches. Awesome!
We had lots of leftover roast from the night before but I made a side dish to accompany it of caramelized onions and green apple with a bit a bacon. Heavenly! I will be making it every time we have pork now!
I still am not having any cravings which is shocking me. I made 21DSD compliant fudge the other day with some coconut butter, coconut oil, sunbutter, cocao powder and pumpkin puree. I have a couple pieces every couple of days and that seems to be doing the trick!
