advocare cleanse {day 7}

My favorite thing about the Advocare Cleanse has definitely been drinking the Spark.  
I really haven't missed my daily (or almost daily) Diet Coke at all.  I have noticed a noticeable different in my energy level during the day and I don't have an afternoon crash.  I would love to continue drinking Spark post-cleanse, but the only problem is that you can't drink it while you are pregnant or nursing, which means at some point I won't be able to drink it for around 2 years.    (And no, we aren't pregnant. I'm just thinking about the future.)  But, if you aren't pregnant or nursing you should totally try out Spark.  We have been drinking Pink Lemonade and Fruit Punch, but Fruit Punch is definitely our favorite. 
I was in a rush to get to the gym before I took Pearson to school this morning so I made a meal replacement shake mixed with peaches before we left.  Not gonna lie, I'm not a fan of the meal replacement shakes.  They definitely fill me up, but even with fruit mixed in, there is still a funny taste I don't care for.  I had an eye doctor appointment this morning so I also didn't get around to eating a mid-morning snack.  Since I hadn't really "eaten" anything, by the time lunch rolled around I was starving!!  I stopped by Chipotle and got a burrito bowl.  I totally forgot that I'm not supposed to have corn, so I cheated just a bit! Oops!!
{Brown Rice, Chicken, Pico, Corn, Lettuce, Medium Salsa & Guacamole}  
 I was stuffed from having such a big lunch so I skipped out on an afternoon snack and drank a second Spark drink before my second workout of the day.  I don't normally work out twice a day, but the gym I go to was have free demo classes and you know I love free stuff!!  Even free workouts!!

Our dinner was delicious tonight!  I made Chicken Stir Fy & Brown Rice
{Brown Rice, Grilled Chicken, Scrambled Egg, Zucchini, & Frozen Bag of Vegetables}
We will definitely be making this recipe post-cleanse.  It was really easy and really good. 

7 days down......only 3 to go.

I don't like the vanilla MRS, either. The chocolate, though, super yummy! I found your blog through Pinterest & have enjoyed following along on your cleanse recaps! :)
