21 Day Cleanse, Day 1

Today I am starting Kris Carr's 21 Day Cleanse from her book Crazy Sexy Diet.  I'm vegetarian and have attempted veganism multiple times, most recently last year for about six months.  My weakness is cheese.  I really like cheese.  I also eat seafood on occasion.  This cleanse is a vegan diet, but the focus broadens to encourage limiting alcohol, sugar, caffeine, processed foods and maximizing raw, whole foods.  She also encourages regular exercise, mediation, and emotional self care.  All things I believe but do not practice consistently.

Day 1 has gone well.  I'm a little emotionally drained from other things, so I think my energy level would be better if not for that.  I forgot to meditate and dry brush, must do that tomorrow.  But I did run, complete a weight/strength routine and do an hour of yoga so I got the exercise in!  Food has been mostly fruit and green smoothies today.  Need to eat a little more at lunch tomorrow, I think.  Tonight's dinner will be a quinoa "Buddha bowl."

Today's affirmation from Kris: I am capable, confident, intelligent, resilient, and in charge.  Health and happiness are my birthrights and I accept with gratitude.

Yes, I am all those things.  And I am ready to claim my rights.
