Our So-Called Cleanse

Okay, before you write me off completely, hear me out.

The Dizzle and I are on Day 3 of our attempted "Clean-Eating" Cleanse.

And I know, I know, the last time we attempted a cleanse, it was a complete and utter fail that didn't last more than a few hours. And I am completely to blame.

Because I love food.

And if I don't get it, I become a raging biznatch.

But listen, we haven't been the healthiest of eaters lately and our 30-day No Alcohol thing was pretty much a bust as well, so we decided to do something reasonable and manageable!

And this is why I have high hopes for this cleanse:

Because it actually involves food!

Here is the layout for 7 days:

*Raw fruits and veggies galore - all day, ayy-day*

*Nuts*

*Brown Rice*

*Beans*

*Fish*

...

My day goes a little something like this...

Breakfast

I wake up longing for a bagel with cream cheese and a large coffee.

Instead, I drink water and eat a large serving of various fruits.

Snack

I long for Peanut M&M's and my 2nd cup of coffee.

Instead, I drink water and eat celery, carrots, and almonds.

Lunch

I long for a bean and cheese burrito from Rubios.

Instead, I drink water and eat salmon, 1/2c of brown rice, and 1/2c of beans.

Snack

I long for some cheese and crackers or perhaps a refreshing Diet Coke.

Instead, I drink water and eat cucumbers accompanied with some more almonds.

Dinner

I long for a giant bowl of V Dizzle's Chili.

Instead, I drink water and eat salmon, 1/2c of brown rice, and 1/2c of beans.

Dessert

I long for a Fudgsicle or two.

Instead, I drink water and eat grapes.

...

Day 1 pretty much sucked balls.
Major headaches. Probably from the caffeine withdrawal.
My energy was surprisingly really low too.

{Also, can I just say that large amounts of veggies and beans equals....
well, I'm sure you get the gist.}

Day 2 was much better.
Had a ton of energy.

It's crazy that healthy, clean foods can make you feel so good. Weeeiiirrrddd, right?

...

So on to Day 3!

I guess I wouldn't really call it a cleanse so much as it's what's probably intended for one to put in their body. But where's the fun in that?
Let's get days 4-7 over with so I can get back to my burritos!
Just kidding...........sort of.

Have you ever done a cleanse?
