Okay, so I did a lot of research before starting my five day cleanse. I read about if I should work out, if I needed to add protein, if I should do five or three or seven days....blah blah blah. I read about people who claimed that they felt amazing, and people who gave up on the first or second day. I don't really know how I was expecting my experience to go, but so far, I am pleasantly surprised.
Yesterday was weird because with all of my calorie counting, my days tend to revolve around food. I don't think I'm obsessive or anything, but in order to have a healthy day, I have to think about what I'm going to eat, and when. These past two days, I have had everything all ready to go and, even though I'm not hungry, I think about what I'm going to eat. I was pouring soup on the line and I thought "Black bean soup with avocado for lunch!" Then I remembered that not only was I not going to have that for lunch, I was not going to have that for quite a few days...that was odd.
I think I tried to add too much into my drinks yesterday, I wasn't too happy with the super kale/spinach taste of 4/6 of my juices and by my fourth drink, I was wondering how the hell I was going to make it through four and a half more days of it! This morning, I made the juices more simple and balanced, and thoroughly enjoyed the finished project. I used a lot of lemon which freshened things up, and I was busy at work, which REALLY helped keep my mind off it.
I feel very light, happy, and full. Today I had a TON of energy...which was odd because I haven't had any coffee either. This also the first time that I have gone gold turkey on caffeine and not suffered the nasty headaches that usually accompany it. I was not sure when I started if I would be able to finish this all the way through, now I am very confident and proud of what I'm doing. I can do this!
