i decided to do this green cleanse after having a few friends mention it. people seem to have interesting results, and i am long overdue for a cleansing/fast/"conscious eating" practice.
i'm semi-officially starting today, and will continue eating this way for 14 days. if all goes well, this will take me to june 20-21...right around the summer solstice.
i will need to variate from the plan a bit. i just finished a course of antibiotics for a sinus infection, so i need to maintain a probiotic regimen for at least the first 5-7 days.
in the absence of a juicer, it's also unlikely that i'll only be drinking green drinks, although i will stick to water, 100% juices and herbal teas as much as possible.
starting tomorrow, i'll be taking chlorophyll (in juice) and green pills as part of breakfast in the morning. i also want to have at least one cup of "detox" tea every other day, if not daily.
this time will also be used to build an ori altar, continue some heart chakra healing, and narrow down my housing search.
first green meal/snack: roasted brussles sprouts
dinner: large green salad with freshly made green goddess dressing
also consumed today: some "fruit and nut" trail mix, peppermint tea, grapefruit, soy yogurt, lemonade*
*i have some juices in the fridge that i want to get rid of in the first few days. same with the soy yogurt. after that, i'll just be taking chewable probiotic tablets. the grapefruit is the last of 3 i bought to help with the clearing of the sinus infection (they're great for getting rid of mucus in the body). ideally, in the next 3-4 days, my diet should be fully "green".
