Cleanse: Day 5

Day 5 went really well.  I've figured out how to not feel nauseated in the morning by eating later in the evening.  The smoothies are getting better and better, but the ones that taste the best are the ones with apple or any kind of fruit in them.  The pure veggie smoothies are tough.

I weighed myself this morning and have noticed a change.  I'm down to 3 pounds after just 5 days on this cleanse.  Though, the word "cleanse" doesn't seem to be the case, if you know what I mean.

My ultimate goal weight would be 140.  Maybe if I stick to this 21 day cleanse I might actually see that.  I actually don't mind drinking these green juices in the morning.  I don't feel like I'm hungry at odd times.  I'm hungry for lunch then I'm hungry for dinner.  That's it!  I guess that means my stomach is shrinking?

The only bad part about this cleanse is that it has cost $50 for one week's worth of smoothies.  Now, I was measuring these smoothies like I drink one batch each day, but that's not the case.  The juice I'm drinking today was from yesterday and will last through tomorrow.  I still have quite a few veggies leftover, so I've decided to continue on with the cleanse.  By Wednesday of next week I'm halfway done.  That's not too bad.  Then I might continue drinking these smoothies every once in awhile in the mornings.  They seem to be helping!

My friend, Alicia Silverstone, told me that eating veggies for breakfast is the way to go.  Now I understand why -- because the protein in the leafy greens keeps you fuller longer.  I will allow it!
