Cleanse Day 1

Today is Day 1 of my cleanse. It's amazing how great I feel from cleaning up my diet over the past week. I will be tracking my progress, ups and downs, how I'm feeling and my favorite recipes of the day. This cleanse is being run as a co-op cleanse, so my meals will be prepared by my team members - YEAH! You can also do this alone and reap the same benefits or ask a friend to join you.

Here is an overview of the cleanse:

Everyday - 1. Take a Kundalini Yoga Class at 6:00 AM (this is optional but
helps the body and mind cleanse)
2. Drink 2 glasses of fresh squeezed juices in the morning and
afternoon
3. Sip on 32 ounces of a detox drink with lemon, maple syrup
and cayenne pepper
4. Take various supplements from the Ultimate Energy
Cleanse Program
5. Eat cleansing and nourishing foods allowed on the cleanse
6. Get enough rest, relaxation and do one thing a day that
supports the cleanse (bath, massage, exercise, detox
treatments)

Days 2-4 Prepare and drink a liver flush drink first thing in the morning followed by 8 ounces of the lemon detox drink

Day 1
Appetite - After drinking the fresh squeezed juice (carrot, beet, celery, spinach, cucumber and apple) I was not hungry for breakfast. I sipped on my detox drink and had a delicious and cleansing soup for lunch prepared by one of my team members - I was filled for hours) NOTE - I am usually very hungry in the morning.

Feelings - Very motivated, inspired, excited and proud that I am committed to "practicing what I preach", and healing and cleansing my body.

Symptoms - A little bloated today and a minor headache, great energy levels despite waking at 5:00 AM

Cravings - NONE - I'm shocked - several days without sugar

Thought of the Day - Be generous and loving.
