Well, we're coming to the close of Day 2 of the Clean. I have to say, so far so good! There have been a few hunger pangs, but nothing that I haven't experienced in a regular day. I'm going to do my best to describe our journey and not leave out details. So, just know you've been warned!
Here's a quick recap of today's menu:
Breakfast: Berry Smoothie, with fresh blueberries, raspberries, agave, cinnamon and ice.
Lunch: Homemade Guacamole (two avocados, 1 lime and 1 garlic clove) with celery sticks and carrots.
Dinner: Chilled Cucumber Soup with cucumbers, lemon, pine nuts, olive oil and mint.
We discussed that we'll need to start posting pics of our rather interesting menu. It may be pics of the before ingredients because let's be honest, a bowl of green goop isn't all that pretty.
I'm not feeling the AMAZING effects of the program yet. However, besides the bottle of wine that we absolutely love to indulge in, we don't eat much differently than this program. To the disbelief of many friends and family, I have been a vegetarian now for two years. The major difference in this Clean program is the lack of chewing for breakfast and dinner.
As for energy... Boat guy is feeling a bit tired this evening, however, as many of you know, he puts in a lot of energy at work and this isn't all that abnormal. He also, just got home at 9:30 p.m. from a band gig, so take that as you will. I haven't noticed much of a difference in energy. We both experience odd sleep last night, several dreams, and since we're supposed to be POUNDING water, a few bathroom trips as well.
Now onto the fun part of the day... 1-2 tablespoons of cold pressed olive oil for "go to bed dinner" (that's a Heimensen thing). This apparently will lube the system. As I said, you've been warned of the content!
Happy Cleaning!
