Day 1

Today was rough because I needed to get up earlier to have time to actually make a breakfast and a lunch too!  I was very tired and did not want to get up, but after hitting snooze a few times I did and made a juice called Morning Dew :). It was pretty good. I actually usually skip breakfast because I am just not hungry and don't feel like eating anything but drinking it was a lot easier and it actually made me feel quiet refreshed.  My lunch was a juice called Drink Your First Course which wasn't to bad but it took me quiet a while to actually finish it. I started to feel pretty hungry in the afternoon when I got home from work, but held off until about 4:30 before eating my small serving of salad which was spinach mix, onions, green peppers, tomatoes and avocados I ended dinner with another drink mix for desert :) a small glass of the 5 P's juice (also below) which was a mix of different fruits. About an hour after I finished my dinner I became extremely hungry and was wanting to eat more then just my juices and salad. I went to the fridge and found a large piece of cauliflower and ate it right up like it was an ice cream cone or something :) but it did the job and I was no longer feeling hungry.
So far my first day as not been to bad, the juices have been filling me up pretty nicely, for the most part anyway. Below I will list the ingredients for the 3 juices I tried today. Oh someone asked me what diet plan I was using, not really using a specific one, just going on my own path and making it up as I go along. It is however sort of  based off of the one used in the Documentary Fat, sick and Nearly Dead. The documentary recommands a longer cleansing. I am currently starting just 7 days of a cleansing, but will possibly go longer if it seems to work well. That's all for now, if you are interested in trying the juices they will be listed below :).

Morning Dew: (my breakfast)
1 green apple
1/4 (16 oz) honey dew melon
8 strawberries
1 cup of green grapes
(makes about 2 servings it said to serve you could garnish with strawberries but I didn't need to decorate my drink :)

Drink your first course: (my lunch)
5 medium carrots
2 large stalks of celery
1 medium apple halved
1 spring parsley
(says it makes about 1 3/4 a cup and that it can be garnished with lemon wedge but I didn't do that)

The 5 "P's": (my dinner dessert :)
1/4 fresh pineapple
1 peach, stone removed
1 pear, halved
1 plout, stone removed (if you don't have a plout you can use a second peach instead)
1 plum, stone removed
