On to Day Two. I woke up feeling ok. Nothing out of the ordinary. On the menu today was:
1 Aloe Vera elixir. this was absolutely disgusting. Yuck! I'm glad it was just a shot and not a full bottle of juice. According to Organic Avenue, "Aloe vera juice is known to help to detoxify the body and cleanse the colon." If they say so.
2 Pear Juice. This was sooooo good. Absolutely delicious, I felt great after drinking it. The fiber in it really helped move things along (ahem) soon after drinking it.
3 Veggie Vibe. Carrot, Celery, Cucumber, Beet, Spinach, Swiss Chard, Spinach, Lemon, Ginger, Parsley. Delicious, light and tangy. It was also very filling and that's a good thing. I only drank about 3/4 of the juice as I just did not have room for more liquid.
Side note: although there is no tomato in it, I think with a little bit of vodka it would make a really great bloody mary ... that is a bit sacrilegious, no? To be thinking of cocktails while doing a cleanse. Sigh.
4 Arugula Sprout Salad. This was amazing. I loved it even more than the Caesar salad I had the first day. The salad is topped with little balls of something called "carrot cheese." I swear - they tasted just like a goat cheese. Yum!
5 Sunflower Falafel. This was very yummy, but I felt stuffed and could only finish half of it. Which left me pretty amazed, because I am a big eater.
About an hour or two after having the falafel I went to a Physique 57 class. I felt good, but no crazy wave of energy until after class was over. I walked out of class feeling great. I had so much energy I felt like I could go dancing or take a Zumba class. I felt amazing. The down side is that the energy surge lasted until way past midnight. That could be a combination of working out in the evening and eating such nutritious foods.
6 Chocolate Mousse. Cacao, Almond. I like chocolate, but I am not a serious chocolate lover. I like it in small doses. This was very tasty and tasted like dark chocolate, but I only ate half of it.
7 Coconut Mylk. Coconut meat and coconut water. Holy moly was this good. So fresh, so filling, so creamy and so freaking delicious. I happen to love coconut so this was a real treat for me. Just thinking of it makes my mouth water. It's on the menu for day three, so I am super excited to have it again.
I felt great on Day Two. No headaches, no light headed feelings. I am amazed that I could have so much energy without drinking any caffeine and with eating such small portions. Woo hoo!! On to Day Three.
