And we're off. Today is the first day of our 21-day SP Cleanse. A quick summary of the program: 21 days, first 10 days are fruits, vegetables and protein shakes. the next 11 days you are allowed to add fish and poultry. The cleanse is structured to encourage 'healthy kidney function, help purify the blood, support lymphatic system function, promote efficient gastrointestinal elimination, and maintain healthy liver detoxification function.'
We've had our first of three daily rounds of supplements with a protein shake. I think the 'newness' of it makes it interesting, but the writing is on the wall. This is going to be a pain in the ass. After the first shake, you wait an hour to eat an actual meal.
I will say that my first ever vegan/ cleanse meal - prepared by my lovely and talented husband - was amazing. Tossed together with the foods we're allowed to eat - half a cup of lentils, tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, and garlic cooked for no more than 4 minutes - it was delicious, filling and flavorful. It was a wonderful surprise. Not to mention very encouraging.
Even though I wasn't eating them before the cleanse, at this very moment I must admit I could totally down an entire bag of Cool Ranch Doritos with a huge dirty martini. The thick seasoning caked onto the crisped tortilla chips. The filthy martini with three olives, cold to the lips but seeping in to warm you inside out. A true Calgone moment. Alas this is not my reality, at least not for a few weeks. I imagine there will be a variety of odd cravings - it should be interesting.
So since I don't own a scale, I begin with these measurements.
Right Calf: 16.5"
Saddle Bags: 43.5"
Waist: 35"
Bust: 40"
Upper Arm: 13"
Thigh: 22"
I don't have specific goals yet, just to fit into all the clothes in my closet by the end of 2010. Oy.
