  recipe at end of post So, curious about my week #1 update on the Lean Moms’ program? I’ll be honest, I did the cleanse for two days, but I had to quit. It made me sick. Literally sick to my stomach. I almost threw up several times, and came very close to passing out a few times (once in the middle of T-mobile!) I wanted to do it, but I believe if something is making you sick…you shouldn’t do it. So, I checked with Lean Moms, and they said it was fine to skip it. Thank. Goodness. So, for the rest of the week, I loosely followed the meal plan. And when I say loosely, I mean that I pretty much followed it until dinner time, when I just tried to eat something healthy-ish, and a moderate portion of. I also made it to the gym three times, and did other exercises on the off day. Overall, I feel good, and motivated to keep going. Here are my updated stats: Weight: I actually gained weight, but when you start doing strength workouts, that’s typical. Not fun to see a number go up though, regardless of the reason! Waist: – 1 inch Thighs: -.5 inch on each thigh Bicep: -.5 on one, stayed the same on the other. I also wanted to share a delicious, and easy, snack that I’ve started making recently. Brown bag microwave popcorn. Basically, it’s a healthier version of store bought, microwave popcorn. I always loved store bought microwave popcorn until I read that it was bad for you, and it scared me away. Stove top is always going to be best, but if you only have two minutes, this easy microwave brown bag popcorn is great! I always like to put about 1-2 tablespoons of butter or coconut oil on my popcorn, parmesan cheese, and chili powder…however, you can top it however you want. I even like it straight out of the microwave. I think it tastes far better than the store bought kind, it’s a low calorie snack (as long as you aren’t slathering it in butter!)

    I usually make stovetop popcorn, but hate dirtying and cleaning the pot. I’m definitely going to try this.

    I am skeptical about the staples though. Since you can’t put metal in microwaves, won’t the staples spark a reaction? Even having some foil paper or leftover label pieces can cause problems sometimes.

    Thank you for posting this (and btw, you sure don’t look like you should be worried about dieting!! ).

      You are so nice! ๐Ÿ™‚ and I need to update this. I stopped using staples and now I just fold it down. It works well!

    Doing a cleanse is the worst! I think you made the right choice on skipping it before you barfed or passed out. Keep up the good work!

    I always buy kernels instead of bagged popcorn. I have been doing it on the stove for a while now. This would be so much easier, and my son would probably get to enjoy popcorn more often.

      It really is easier than having to messy up the stove for a little popcorn (though I do love stove popped pop corn!)

    Congrats on seeing some success at the gym, Katie! I’m so glad you listened to your body and stopped the cleanse, though. Those side effects you had are nothing to mess around with!

      Thanks Becca ๐Ÿ™‚ And I agree about the cleanse. I just feel like if something makes you feel that terrible, it’s probably doing more harm than good.
