Starting the Cleanse Anew - Day 1

21-Day Quantum Wellness Cleanse - Kathy Freston
Getting rid of the Big 5:
Alcohol
Caffeine
Sugar
Animal Products
Gluten

Having done the cleanse before, gluten hasn't bothered me when I added back in. Because of this, I'm going light on gluten, but not ruling it out completely. I'm also getting rid of all processed sugars, for the most part. A little bit of sweetener or less refined sugars are not something I'm going to stress about.

So, having been pleased overall with last year's cleanse, I've decided to try it again. Here I'll be talking about the yummy food I get to eat, and how it all relates to how I feel.

Today, day 1, not bad at all. A few accommodations, but pretty easy.

Breakfast: Steel Cut Oats with a little bit of maple sugar, Vitamin water

Lunch: Minestrone soup with saltines, peanut butter sandwich, Orange slices for dessert

Snack: Grapes, Brown Rice cake

Dinner: Out for Wing Night, compromised with a few onion rings with less batter
Followed up with red pepper slices and spicy hummus

Feeling good in general, other than a slight cold I am feeling good. Light, but satiated. Just excited about the new food fun to come!
