The first week of this 21 day cleanse is all about reclaiming at your body and preparing it for change.
This week we’ve removed red meat and dairy from our diet. Two things I rarely eat anyways so it hasn’t been too bad.
Day 1 Breakfast
The first day for breakfast we each had 2 eggs with spinach and a slice of whole grain toast. That is a typical breakfast for me, so I was a happy camper.
The only thing missing was a hot cup of coffee. I genuinely enjoy coffee so this is going to be a hard one for me over the next 3 weeks.
30 minutes before each meal you’re supposed to drink at least 12 ounces of water and take 2 supplements. Fun fact: I suck at swallowing pills and couldn’t do this until I was 22… so this is going to be fun.
Day 1 Lunch
I had a terrible headache by 11am and wanted to throw up. But I powered through and ate my salad and miso soup.
Afternoons are for power greens and a snack. The greens are this terrible green powder mixed with water. Yes, it’s full of green superfoods but the smell alone will make you gag (maybe just me because Cory doesn’t hate it). I missed taking it today because I did throw up and was taking a nap with a terrible migraine.
Day 1 Dinner
Dinner was supposed to be salmon but I don’t like fish so we did grilled chicken, potatoes, and asparagus. Did I mention I’m a picky eater?! Ha
We made enough chicken for leftovers because you were supposed to have chicken on your salad for lunch on day 2. I tried to eat as much as I could but I was so tired I could barely get any of it down.
Overall today has been a wake up call to how much caffeine I drink everyday and how hard the next 20 days are going to be. I’m really hoping for a better day tomorrow.
