First Fast

I am doing my first liquid fast today.  Technically it should be tomorrow.  But, it's pouring down rain so we've opted out of starting our half marathon training today.  Since today is now a self imposed rest day, I decided it was the best day to fast.  I truly forgot to do it last Sunday because we were coming back from the family visit, but I did remain on the cleanse diet. 

Starting off with a big glass of green juice.  This is already about half way gone.
It's a mix of kale, celery, cucumber, apple, ginger and mint that I blended and then strained through mesh cloth.  I don't own a juicer.  I also added some aloe vera juice afterward.  You'd be amazed how great that green goodness can taste. 

Visiting some friends out of town today, so must plan ahead with a smoothie for lunch.  The whole day is liquid- juice, smoothie, water and green or herbal tea.  The husband is doing it with me. We'll see how it goes!
