Detox: The New Day 1

Today I probably slept in longer than I should have. When I got up, I got to work cleaning and cutting a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. 

For vegetables, I had beets, peppers, Brussels sprouts, cucumbers (my fave!), celery, and carrots. For fruits, I had watermelon, apples, cantaloupe, lemon, lime, blueberries, and pineapple.

The juice from this combination tastes somewhat sweet with a spicy punch when swallowed. It's delicious and I am completely full from one glass. Also, I made a fruit juice from the remaining blueberries, watermelon, and cantaloupe for a snack later. I bet it tastes delicious.

I am not  having any solid foods until Monday and it has already proven difficult. My grandmother is in the kitchen making her mashed potatoes...and they are so good! And I don't get to have any. I need to learn self-control and discipline, sure, but this is a hard test to ace on the first day of a new lifestyle decision! It will be okay, though. I'm going to be strong this time.

I'm going to be planning out my next week's menu and I might do some physical activity today. I'll update later.
