After my food tour of Texas last weekend, my delicious LARGE Mexican meal I had Wednesday night and my pasta carbo load last night, I decided it was time for my juice detox. I have not been looking forward to this. AT. ALL. I have tried the master cleanse once (the one with cayenne pepper, lemon juice and maple syrup) but I don't think I even made it a day on that one. I chose to do a detox to feel healthier and flush out some toxins. I know I am not going to lose any weight in one day but I think this is a good start to eating healthier.

| My colorful food for the day |
I researched one day detoxes online and got completely overwhelmed. I read that you are supposed to follow a certain diet a week before to get ready for the detox. OOPS! They also call for fresh veggie or fruit juice and I do not own a juicer...so I got frustrated and decided to head to the juice bar at my gym to see what they suggested. I told them what I wanted to do and they made me three deliciously gross juice concoctions for my meals. Here was my menu for the day:
1oz. shot of wheat grass (not my first choice for a shot!)
16oz. V6--
Tomato juice, lemon, carrot, celery, spinach and parsley
16oz. Berry blast--
Raspberry, blueberry, strawberry, banana and water
16oz. Carrot juice
Sounds wonderful right? I drank tons of water along with that healthy menu. I struggled through the day but I made it! (so far) We went to the movies tonight and that was torture, but I am surprised by my willpower. I had to smell popcorn and hotdogs but I stayed strong! I "cheated" and had an orange juice but I made sure it was 100% juice first. I can't really say if I feel cleansed or detoxed yet but I do know that I am ravenously hungry. My boyfriend says I am grunchy (grouchy and grumpy) but I don't think so! I have never looked forward to egg whites and oatmeal so much. HURRY UP BREAKFAST! Can't wait to eat and then run in
Race for the Cure in the morning! :)
