It’s the day before I start my cleanse.

Freaky, I know. I’ve been eating pretty much normally up to this point, but I’ve gotta go shopping for some vegetables and fruits. I’m kinda concerned about getting through these first 3 days. I think once I get past the “Ease-in” ans settle into the cleanse itself I’ll be okay.

Day 1 is living foods. All that comes to mind is carrots and celery, but the ranch dip I’m accustomed to drowning them in is probably out. I thought I’d throw a tomato, some onion, and some herbs into the food processor with a little olive oil to help it stick together as a substitute. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Oh, and I also bought a can of “Digestive Health” trail mix from Planters. I figured nuts and berries fell in the category of living food.

Day 2 is soup and broths. Again, I have no idea what I’m going to be eating other than a tomato thrown into the food processor with some salt and pepper. Suggestions are appreciated.

Day 3 is fresh squeezed orange juice. That’s it. Lord, with all this acid I’m planning on taking in on the first 3 days, it’s bound to start cleaning out my guts, right?

I bought a Brita water pitcher (I figure if I’m drinking all this water it migft as well be clean water, right?

I’m a little apprehensive, overall. I’m feeling this anxiety, and I’m not entirely sure what that’s all about.

My plan is to meditate for 15 minutes or so each morning, and maybe do some cardio on the Wii Fit. I’ll let you know how that goes, as well.

I said earlier that this wasn’t about losing weight, and it’s really not. Why the daily photo and stats then? More than anything, just to track changes. I can tell you all day long how I’m feeling, but having a few numbers to measure things by can’t hurt.

Starting tomorrow morning with a grapefruit, no sugar. Weird…

*This is probably a little higher than normal, on account of I forgot to take my medication until an hour or so before I tested.
