Dr. Oz's Three-Day Cleanse: Day 1

Today wasn't too bad. I started it by drinking a cup of green tea.  I wasn't excited about this.  I don't really like tea at all, but I put a pack of Stevia (which is allowed) and a lemon slice in it, and it wasn't so bad.

When I started making my first smoothie, I wondered about adding ice. Usually when you make a smoothie, you add ice or frozen fruit to make it cold and thick. So I did a little research. Yep, I probably should have done some research before starting, but I didn't, so it is what it is.  In my research, I came across this website.  I don't love that they are making their smoothies in bikinis, but I did learn a few things, like that yes, I should add ice and that I shouldn't have peeled the cucumbers. oops.

The smoothies are HUGE.  Each one is about 32 oz.  They take me forever to drink.  Today, I started my lunch smoothie about noon and didn't finish it until about 1:30 PM.  By the time I was done, there really wasn't much time left until I needed to have the snack smoothie, which today I chose to have the lunch smoothie again.

The smoothies are delicious, but I think flax seeds are weird!!    I love all three, but I think the breakfast one is my favorite.

I was curious about how many calories I had today, so calculated it all and it was 1,330.  I didn't feel hungry at all today.  My husband said I was irritable.  I don't think that is because I was hungry.  I think it's because he was annoying.

I was expecting a major butt explosion, so far, nothing, no tummy rumblings. Honestly, I am disappointed by this, because some times that is the only time I get to myself.  I was looking forward to sitting on the throne, scrolling Facebook, or playing trivia without someone needing something.

I am heading to my favorite part of this diet...the bath in epsom salts and lavender oil.  I love baths!  I love salt baths!  I love lavender.  I love the peace and quiet.
