My first day of cleanse went really well. I started my day with a great workout and loved the fact I had the entire locker room to myself this morning, I guess a lot people were off today… I in the other hand had to go to work. I can’t complain, I have a super short week, Friday is my OFF day and I have Jury Duty tomorrow… which means this is a 3 day work week, unless I get picked, then….. Since I don’t want to be left hungry, thirsty or bored, I am packing lunch, snacks, 2-one liter bottles of water, a copy of Real Simple Magazine & The Kind Diet.
I have to say that one thing I love about this cleanse is that the menu is very flexible, meaning as long as I am eating clean and unprocessed food and staying within guidelines I can eat whatever mix or match that I desire….. so for dinner I made something that wasn’t on the recipe list… and whipped up a dressing that was similar to one in the packet but added my own touch to it 
I felt great all day, after every meal I felt content and was completely ok with no snacking.

Jury Duty?? Eek! Good luck! Sounds like you’re prepared, either way it goes!
I think that having a flexible menu will make it so much easier. You’ll still be eating what you want rather than what someone else has prescribed. The quinoa sounds good to me!
Sounds like you had a great first day of being on the cleanse! Glad to hear it!!
Looks like the cleanse started out strong! And why not, when you get to eat such beautiful food. I would take that menu any day of the week!
Sounds like a good day!

Glad that the cleanse is going well! 6.5 hours of sleep- yikes! I wish I could function properly on that much. I just read the real simple magazine (feb) and am reading the Kind Diet- sounds like we have similar tastes! Good luck with jury duty
Glad your first day went well! And, I’m also happy to hear it’s not very restrictive. I will say, again, I can’t help but notice the lack of Calcium and whole grains. Also, if this isn’t a weight loss regimen, why so few calories? Sorry, I’m not asking because I think it’s bad, I’m really interested in learning, AND I care about your health
