Today is the first day of "My Big Fat Juice Cleanse", off into the great big juicing unknown. First order of business was to recruit an accomplice. That would be my sister. I don't know how I got her to agree to this...but I'm so glad she did. Now that she is on board, we must stock up on provisions, vegetables and fruit. We are going to be juicing 80% veg and 20% fruit. Veg will be predominantly green, and fruit "lowish" in sugar. I am planning to eat juice only, for 30 days...that means, no solid food, or anything that is not a vegetable or a fruit...no wine, coffee, diet coke, milk, or tea (weeping here). My sister will do the same. My personal goal is to reduce my weight by 50 lbs. not in the 30 days!!, but over the next 6 months. The purpose of the cleanse is to detox, and kick start my weight loss. I have been feeling pretty crappy for the past six months, low energy, achy joints, dry skin, foul mood...thank you surgery and radiation. I will be reporting any changes I experience while juicing.
I am staying at my sister's house for the first 3 days of the cleanse, that should make it easier for both of us to stay on track. Last night was a 'last supper' of sorts, we both knew we would be starting this today. Well, one of us was sensible and ate light, and the other was not and ate too much (and drank too much). I am the one with the pounding head, so we know who is sensible and who is not.
Let the cleanse begin!!
