Embarking on my first day of the juice cleanse – I thought it would be helpful to write a little diary of how I am feeling…the good, bad and the ugly…
6am Woke Up: Having dreamed about my juice cleanse all night I awoke up pretty tired. I also didn’t have enough sleep but that was due to seeing a screening of Boyhood which was incredible
6.45-7.45am Hot Yoga – The session was HOT! The class was full and the poses were strong. Towards the end I had to lie down as I noticed my internal temperature was not coming back down. I think this was primarily due to poor yoga cloth choices and that I drank alcohol last night
8.15 Shot of Ginger and Apple – I was supposed to have hot water and lemon but due to the fact that I was “glowing” from the session – slightly late – and grimacing at the fact I would have to take the Northern Line to work – GROSS.COM
9.30 Breakfast Smoothie: Glo Super Smoothie: This is made up of Apple, Lemon, Pineapple, Cucumber, Avocado and Wheatgrass. Glo kindly took the avocado out of mine as I am allergic. Feeling fresh and made the juice last for half hour
12pm Brunch Juice: Glo Super Detox: This is made up of Cucumber, Celery, Spinach, Apple, Parsley, Lettuce and Spirulina
2pm: Feeling the fuzz – losing concentration a wee bit but powering through
3.10pm Lunch Juice: Glo Tastic: Pear, Broccoli, kale, courgette, carrot, ginger and lemon. Could not have come sooner 😀
6pm – Electrolyte: Orange, Salt, Honey, Lemon and water – this would have been almond milk but i am allergic to Almonds 😀 It was weird drink – I didn’t really enjoy it as it was quite salty but it did the trick and perked me up to tackle John Lewis and Jo Malone to find a 21st birthday present.
8.30pm Dinner Smoothie: Glo Super Smoothie: Apple, Lemon, pineapple, cucumber, avocado and wheatgrass. To be honest I wasn’t even hungry – which I was surprised about! I did sip my drink but I didn’t have my SOS food and was not craving anything.
9.30pm Bed – from having 5 hours sleep the night before it was time to go into the land of nod
Day 1 – I felt this was a great success – it didn’t interfere with my day. I feel tomorrow will be tougher when I am in full throw of the detoxification!
