Juice Cleanse, Day 2

Day Two went by yesterday without a hitch. I did snack on some avocado, which is one of the very few items on the list they sent me of acceptable items I can eat. That was all I had, but the food list only includes a couple slices of cucumber, half a cup of black coffee, vegetable broth.. and not much else. I did also sip on some tea, and that helped with the boredom and with my tiredness. I also did have to have a short afternoon nap. But, I have been working out every day. My new Houston gym is intense and the classes are focused on small group personal training. I actually did some handstand walk-ups yesterday. Well, I attempted them. I felt great at the gym, much lighter, and not light headed or tired, but I am glad I had that avocado.

I slept great the night before Day 2, although had a strange dream about my dog being turned into a crawfish and I made everyone look for her before she was boiled for a party we were having. Strange. I also did not go to the bathroom other than to pee, which I felt was strange, but I read the FAQs section on BluePrintCleanse website and it said that was A-okay. My tongue is white though, which I also read means my body is expelling toxins, so yay! Something is happening.

The morning is the easiest, mentally and hunger-wise, for me. The Green Juice is growing on me, but more than that, it is pretty filling. So I feel like I actually have had a real breakfast. That is followed by P.A.M. (Pineapple, Apple, Mint), which is AMAZING and makes my morning so much better. P.A.M. is  followed by more Green Juice - eh, I'll take what I can get I guess. I appreciate what is in the Green Juice, I just dislike cucumber in my juices, so that's what has me saying, "eh."

The afternoon is tricky. I am trying to space the juices out by at least two hours, so around 1-2pm, it is time for the Spicy Lemonade, which I enjoy. It contains Lemon, Water, Agave Nectar and Cayenne. It is just so light, so non-meal like, that i makes the hours after lunch go by very slowly. I guess normally, that is the time when my body is most used to an afternoon snack or at least a hot coffee. Mmmm lattes.

Spicy Lemonade is followed by C.A.B., Carrot, Apple, Beet juice with tons of ginger in it. C.A.B. is more filling. After C.A.B (or at least after half of C.A.B.), I workout. I have actually been looking forward to working out because it is a much needed break from sitting at my desk trying not to google new recipes. So glad I am not on Pinterest yet. So glad.

Cashew Milk (Cashews, Water, Cinnamon, Vanilla and Agave) is the best juice of the day. Thank goodness it is so creamy and delicious because it really is filling enough to count as a (small) true dinner. I live on non-dairy milks - coconut, almond, soy - so this one was very tasty for me. Even if I'd never had a nut milk before, it'd probably still be good.
