Today is a rest day from training so not much to chat about there.

Technically day 1 of the cleanse.  I am not sure why they don’t just call it an 11 day cleanse because the 2 days pre-cleanse are exactly the same as the shake days to come.  Anyway.
Day 1 of cleansing is going ok. My plan is to stay busy doing things I need to do. Buying and prepping veggies for meals next week. Grilling chicken and salmon and freezing it for lunches as well. So far I have had my two 4 oz. servings of the cleanse juice.  I really anticipated that this liquid would somehow require a nose holding effort but to my surprise, it was tastey.  It’s packed with vitamins and antioxidants and I feel great.  I do however, miss my coffee.  Really though this is a cleanse and caffeine is one of my vices.   I find it interesting how the mind always thinks negatively regarding an experiment like this, but this is actually not that hard.  I am am generally very disciplined until the discipline gets too strict and then I tend to become a trainwreck.   Hold on loosely and it’s all good.  Having been a morbidly obese emotional eater, I have learned my negative behaviors very well and I openly share the fact that I believe people can change.  But only if they are willing to start accepting responsibility for their own health and positive behaviors.  Yes, it takes time and hard work and a lot of it.  But there has never been a journey more worth traveling!

Now off to wash Lucy the Jeep!
