Day 3

So many people said that the first 3 days are the hardest....I actually had a different experience. I felt like I am so motivated to accomplish 10 days, the first 3 were just stepping stones to continue. I didn't have any headaches, aches and pains, or anything too bad. Whenever I felt a little hunger pain coming on, I would drink a huge a lot of water. Over the last couple days I've tried very hard to make sure I'm drinking about a gallon of water a day. I can tell that is helping with any urges to stray from the cleanse. :)  

The first meal I had was..
-carrots
-apples
-strawberries

I thought I took pictures of this one but I guess not??

Then next I had...

-a couple pears
-orange
-spinach

 

 

I had to take my 2 juices to work, so I put them in these little air tight containers (They came with my magic bullet).

 

Then for dinner I thought I 'd try something extra different and healthy....

 

 

It turned out very pretty, but....tasted like dirt! :( So I ended up making another juice after this since this one was not even tolerable. Haha.

So then I ended up making
-carrots
-apples
-strawberries,  which tasted much better. :)

 

Overall, I've dropped some pounds/inches these last couple few days, so I'm excited to see how the rest of the cleanse goes!

Day 2

So I'm writing this 2 days later, because I didn't have time to update...But this day went well. It was a busy day, so I wasn't really thinking about food (which was good).

Started off with a yummy juice...
-Strawberries
-pineapple
-mint leaves
-pear

 

And I only ended up having 2 juices today :( But the 2nd one was this..

-Apple

-Carrot

-Celery

-Ginger

 

I decided by adding a little inch of ginger can really make it taste good ;)

 



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.
