21 Day Cleanse Begins Today!

I've been preparing for sometime for this day, the day I start a 21-day cleanse. I'm so excited!

I woke up super early, spent time in my journal (haven't done that in weeks), practiced yoga, and meditated all before 8:00 a.m.

Pictured above is the journal page design that I came up with to help me track my progress.

The cleanse consists of fresh juices, smoothies, soups, and one meal a day. Many things have been eliminated from my diet including all caffeine, sugar, processed foods, and gluten. 

Today's juice, pictured above is a veggie juice:

serves 1

2 carrots
2 stalks of celery
5-6 leaves of romaine lettuce
1 small beet
1/2 green apple 

I am so loving my new Breville Juice Fountain . I found it on Amazon for less than $100!

I'm referencing the following books for this cleanse:

Clean: The Revolutionary Program to Restore the Body's Natural Ability to Heal Itself by Alejandro Junger, MD

Crazy Sexy Diet: Eat Your Veggies, Ignite Your Spark, and Live Like You Mean It! by Kris Carr

In the weeks to come I'll share my progress, recipes, and how this cleanse is going. You can also follow my progress on Facebook and join in the discussion.

Three cheers to a healthier 2013!

I love the journal page kathryn! That alone would make me embrace it! I'm also going through the sugar thing...realized its a false grounding for me. Fun new lesson!
