update on new cleansing

So I have not posted since my brief description on day one, I am now half way through day 4. This time around has seemed to be quiet more difficult when it comes to wanting regular food. I have not been feeling full of my juice meals and have been graving and getting hungry for other foods more frequently.This time around has been so much more challenging with wanting to stay with it that I have considered multiple times stopping or just making it a shorter cleanse. I did get a new juice book to help with ideas for different juices so I do not have to have the same juices all the time, that has been nice with lots of options and different choices. Yesterday due to some conflicts with meetings and other things I had one juice meal and 2 raw meals with raw fruit or vegetables. My dinners are the same they were before, spinach salads with tomatoes, onions, cauliflower, and avocado.  I am going to try and make it through at least the rest of the week and then see how I am doing. I have not been feeling any different this cleansing around, besides hungry :). I tried to keep track of the recipes I have been using the last few days so here is the list and recipe of juices I have used this week. I did adapt some of them for what ingredients i had such as a few times using spinach instead of kale and sometimes an apple instead of a pear or cutting recipe in half.
