Day 1 of Cleanse

Well, like many people I watched the movie "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" and was truely inspired. I have already been a vegetarian since Jan. 1st, 2013, so I'm hoping the cleanse won't be too terrible, since I am used to eating fresh fruits and veggies. :) Recently, I have been drinking a lot of sugary coffee drinks, alcohol, cookies, chips, etc. So I decided I really needed to do this 10 day cleanse to just regroup and get back on track for a healthy lifestyle.

So I went shopping yesterday at a local produce market. I ended up plotting out 3 "meals" a day for 10 days. I decided to buy just the first 4 days worth of fruits and veggies so the produce will stay as fresh as possible. For 4 days worth of juicing food, it was under $30. So that is pretty cheap. :)

Breakfast:

• 1/2 pineapple
•  2 red apples

 

 

Lunch:

• 1/2 cucumber
• 3 oranges



 

I peeled the cucumber, because I didn't want any of the outer wax possibly getting into the juice.

 

Dinner:

• 1 green apple
• a couple handfuls spinach
• 6-8 mustard greens
• 1/2 cucumber (leftover from earlier)
• 4 celery stalks
• 1/2 lemon



• 

 

And that was my first day! I also drank hot water with a squeeze of fresh lemon in between meals. I think I drank close to 1 gallon of water as well. :) So far I feel great, and off to a great start.
