BluePrint Cleanse | Day 4 of 4

Sun, 19 May 2013 09:26:05 -0400

BluePrint Cleanse, Renovation, 4 Days** I hit my snooze button this morning. For some reason, I am not feeling as energized as the previous 3 days. I still feel a bit groggy after the lemon water too.

Day Four:

8:45 am
Treat yo self! I bought an iced coffee, poured 3/4 of it out, and added some cashew milk. It was amazing! And I can still feel my caffeine high, but it’s not crazy bad.

9:00 am
Juice 1: Green Juice - Romaine, Celery, Cucumber, Apple, Spinach, Kale, Parsley, Lemon

11:00 am
Juice 2: P.A.M. - Pineapple, Apple, Mint
This tasted really good to me today. I didn’t mind the first or second big gulps I took. I don’t want to get used to sugary drinks though.

1:00 pm
Juice 3: Green Juice - Romaine, Celery, Cucumber, Apple, Spinach, Kale, Parsley, Lemon

3:00 pm
Juice 4: Spicy Lemonade - Water, Lemon, Agave Nectar, Cayenne

5:00 pm
Juice 5: C.A.B. - Apple, Carrot, Beet, Lemon, Ginger

7:00 pm
Juice 6: Cashew Milk - Water, Cashew, Agave Nectar, Vanilla, Cinnamon

I’m done! I’m finally done! I am so proud of myself!

BluePrint Cleanse | Day 3 of 4

BluePrint Cleanse, Renovation, 3 4 Days**

No waking up in the middle of the night, but that is probably because I barely drank anything, besides juice, when I got home. My body couldn’t take any more liquids.

Day Three:
I felt kind of slow moving this morning, but did get to work at 8:25! I’m looking forward to continuing to tomorrow!

8:45 am
So, so hungry. It’s like my body expects to be fed every 2 hours now, on the dot!

9:00 am
Juice 1: Green Juice - Romaine, Celery, Cucumber, Apple, Spinach, Kale, Parsley, Lemon

11:00 am
Juice 2: P.A.M. - Pineapple, Apple, Mint

11:15 am
It seems that my mouth has some weird sores in it. Nothing gross, or huge or paintful. There aren’t even any bumps that I can feel with my tongue. I’m sure it’s from all of the juice acid. I guess I should start watering down all my juices now.

1:00 pm
Juice 3: Green Juice - Romaine, Celery, Cucumber, Apple, Spinach, Kale, Parsley, Lemon

2:15 pm
I ran home today and was so excited to see if my avocado was ripe yet. Nope. No it was not. What a cock tease. Screw you, unripe avocado!

3:00 pm
Juice 4: Spicy Lemonade - Water, Lemon, Agave Nectar, Cayenne

5:00 pm
Juice 5: C.A.B. - Apple, Carrot, Beet, Lemon, Ginger

6:15 pm
I went out with my coworkers for a happy hour. It was extremely hard being around alcohol. I wanted a beer. I even smelled a beer. It was bad. I ended up leaving early.

7:00 pm
Juice 6: Cashew Milk - Water, Cashew, Agave Nectar, Vanilla, Cinnamon

10:30 pm
Sooooo tiredddd!

BluePrint Cleanse | Day 2 of 4

Wed, 15 May 2013 21:31:35 -0400

BluePrint Cleanse, Renovation, 3 4 Days**

I woke up around 2am this morning to go to the bathroom. So much liquid makes me pee like crazy!

Day Two:
This morning, I woke up feeling energized! I didn’t even hit my snooze button on my phone. Downed some water with lemon juice. It’s growing on me, I think.

9:00 am
Juice 1: Green Juice - Romaine, Celery, Cucumber, Apple, Spinach, Kale, Parsley, Lemon
Still love it. Drank it way faster than yesterday, too.

**10:00 am
Just bought another day of juice. Yay! So excited to keep this going!

11:00 am
Juice 2: P.A.M. - Pineapple, Apple, Mint
I cringed when I took the first couple big gulps of this. I just don’t like sugary things. I immediately added water into the juice. It tastes a lot better.

12:00 pm
I feel really great, full of energy. I’m happy and alert! It is annoying going back and forth to the bathroom though.

1:00 pm
Juice 3: Green Juice - Romaine, Celery, Cucumber, Apple, Spinach, Kale, Parsley, Lemon
I’m playing “Dots” (you should dl it) and it’s taking away from valuable juice drinking time. No headaches at all so far. The green tea is getting boring to drink though. I miss the taste of coffee.

3:00 pm
Juice 4: Spicy Lemonade - Water, Lemon, Agave Nectar, Cayenne
Give me more. We just want more. More now!

5:00 pm
Juice 5: C.A.B. - Apple, Carrot, Beet, Lemon, Ginger
I do like this juice. It’s growing on me. I also forgot to drink some of it after I got off the subway.

6:15 pm
Hunger pains. Hardcore. Cashew milk, save me.

7:00 pm
Juice 6: Cashew Milk - Water, Cashew, Agave Nectar, Vanilla, Cinnamon
Life saver! Drank all of it while playing Dots. SO good. Can I drink 2 more of these?

9:30 pm
Bed time for me! Day 2, success!

BluePrint Cleanse | Day 1 of 3

Tue, 14 May 2013 21:00:09 -0400

BluePrint Cleanse, Renovation, 3 Days

I go to St Maarten next Wednesday, early morning. I figured I might as well get healthy (and hopefully skinnier) before laying in a beach chair. I did not prep well at all. Over the weekend I ate pasta and fish and cookies and chicken and eggs and potatoes. Surprisingly though, I feel good so far. No bad withdrawals minus the headache from not drinking any coffee yesterday or today.

Day One:
I woke up this morning and drank room temp water with a squeeze of lemon. Somehow it perked me up and I was actually early (early for me) to work this morning. I am armed with green tea and loads of water. I brought some almonds with me just in case I hit a bad slump.

9:00 am
Juice 1: Green Juice - Romaine, Celery, Cucumber, Apple, Spinach, Kale, Parsley, Lemon
I really love veggies and this juice just reaffirms my love for them. The lemon juice and sugar from the apple really helped bring everything together. I sort of didn’t want this juice to end. I finished this in an hour. Then continued to consume green tea and 20 ounces of water.

11:00 am
Juice 2: P.A.M. - Pineapple, Apple, Mint
Holy sugar! This was a huge wake up call with a sugar kick I did not like. I normally don’t consume juice and if I do, I water it down with a lot of water. I took a couple sips from the bottle and added more water to P.A.M.. It helped the taste. As I slowly drink more, I’ll keep adding more water. I’m not sure if this waters down the nutrients and what not, but I just can’t care. Too much sugar for me, personally.

11:15 am
Feeling a bit fuzzy. I feel a headache coming, but I’m sure if I drink more green tea, it’ll go away. Or maybe I’m not feeling fuzzy, but more tired? Is my bad prepping catching up to me? Hope not.

1:00 Pm
Juice 3: Green Juice - Romaine, Celery, Cucumber, Apple, Spinach, Kale, Parsley, Lemon
Yup. Again. Put 2-3 salt crystals in it. It reminds me of a virgin Bloody Mary for some reason. It tasted so good! Especially after the P.A.M. juice. I think I’ve come to realize that I will always prefer veggies over fruits.

1:50 pm
Feeling a bit tired and on my second cup of green tea. I’ve also been downing water and therefore, peeing every other minute (or so it feels like). So far, I haven’t felt sick to my stomach. I do miss chewing food already, though. I just want some kind of texture in my mouth besides liquids. So far, so good though! My mood is also helped by the fact that Ingrid Michaelson’s “Human Again” album is on Spotify, finally!

2:56 pm
BAD HUNGER PAINS! NEED JUICE NOW!

3:00 pm
Juice 4: Spicy Lemonade - Water, Lemon, Agave Nectar, Cayenne
By far, my favorite juice. I could drink this juice over and over again. I absolutely love it.

4:30 pm
I miss chewing things. I miss textures of food. Drinking green tea, water, and juices is making me want a piece of toast. Stupidly, I went to GNC and bought an entire box of KIND Almond Coconut bars. I got a ridiculously good deal on them and couldn’t resist. At least I can save them for Friday! I feel a headache coming on. Maybe it’s time for more water and green tea before I leave work. I’ve been peeing like crazy!

5:00 pm
Juice 5: C.A.B. - Apple, Carrot, Beet, Lemon, Ginger
I don’t hate this juice, but the first sip always makes me cringe. It tastes like dirty dirt. The second sip and beyond that is fantastic though! I’m really wondering if I should go to the gym tonight. Maybe I could just walk on the treadmill. Or I could go tanning. So many possibilities! I don’t feel tired at all. No headaches. No slump in energy. I feel good.

6:15 pm
Finally drank some vegetable stock that I made last night. It’s pretty good. A nice change from water, green tea, and the juice. I’m not sure how much I am allowed to drink, but I’ll show some restraint. I promise!

7:00 pm
Juice 6: Cashew Milk - Water, Cashew, Agave Nectar, Vanilla, Cinnamon
Lots and lots of sediment. So, so much. Always. Since I’ve had this juice multiple times, I’ve gotten used to it. I do love it though. It’d be a great addition to coffee. Nom!

9:00 pm
I feel really tired now. I’m not sure if it’s because I drank so much liquid today or if it’s because I haven’t drank enough water. Either way, I’m going to bed. Day one is over with. I was successful and feel decent.
