Day One; Fruits and Vegetables only
So, yesterday was day one of this 'cleanse'. Pure. Torture.
Honestly, you never know what foods you do and do not like until you go on a cleanse and you either a) have to eat them or b) aren't allowed to eat them. I cannot tell you how much I gagged after eating a raw celery. I really do not like celery by itself. Throw some peanut butter or ranch or something on it and I'm all set! Throw it in stew! But please, do not offer it by itself. And I also found out that cherries are somewhat of a laxitive? That or my tummy just hurt from pretend hunger pangs.
Anyways, so because it's a hard habit to break, eating solids and what not, I had a difficult time yesterday with just fruit and veggies. I ended up snacking all day on this fruit and some carrots. The carrots were somewhat slimy so I was kind of afraid of them. But hey, Frappuccino loved them. He's the weirdest dog ever, loving carrots. Anyways, back to the diet talk.
Yesterday I looked up to see if it was wise or not to work out while on such low carbs. No, definitely not a good idea to do anything that will tax your heart. A website suggested mild walking/jogging, swimming, and easy cycling. So, me and Frappy go on walks to 'help the process'. I'd like to get a treadmill someday, for those rainy days and days the stupid trail is closed. Like today. They're tearing down trees on my nice little trail! How am I suppose to 'help the process along' if I can only go a few feet back and forth? LAME.
So, I decided to do some vlogging about it too. I think I'll upload the video soon. I planned on doing both, blog and youtube updates so people can get a good feel for it. Like I said in my video, I type better than I speak. And I planned that at the end of this crazy 12 day cleanse I'll compile all of the videos into one and then BAM instant easy watching. Or something like that. I'm not sure.
Anyways. I'll probably blog later tonight about this Day Two. Hopefully I can last because right now... I have to turn off the tv to stop being taunted by the KFC commercial. And I don't even like KFC!
So, check back laterzzzz.
PS!

When we did a weight loss challenge a couple of years ago I ate lots of celery and carrot sticks and we hate dried fruit. I found out I couldn't eat more than 5 pcs of dried fruit without having to hit the bathroom. Be careful with that because you don't want to get deydrated. Be sure you are drinking plenty of water!
