Journeying through Juice: Day 1

I recently watched "Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead" and was inspired to start a juice cleanse.

I've been reading up on the vegan lifestyle, educating myself about the foods I should be eating to make sure I'm getting all my nutrients and also to make sure I have all the facts about foods I should and shouldn't eat. After reading up about juicing on jointhereboot.com, I decided a juice cleanse would be a great way to detox my body and get myself mentally ready to give up animal products. I'm hoping to complete the "Classic," which is 15 days and can be found here: http://www.jointhereboot.com/plans/

This past weekend, I got my grocery list together for the first 5 days, researched and bought my juicer [Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite], and stocked my fridge with everything I needed. Having everything readily available gives me the confidence that I can stick through this!

I completed Day 1, and found that the food listed for the day ended up WAY more than I could possibly finish. However, I guess it's good that I wasn't hungry. The mid-morning juice was made with tons of greens, yet surprisingly the green apples really sweetened it up, and it tasted quite pleasant. And the food on the plan isn't too bad, I LOVE all the homemade dressings I've made and it makes me excited to eat my veggies. Huge plus.

I'll keep you updated throughout the cleanse on my progress in completing it and how I feel while doing it:)
