I was excited mentally but there was still small tinge of uncertainty. First, I had to break the news to my lunch partners as I will be going without the sinful food during lunch, then I began to share with whoever I thought would be keen to join me on the programme. Some of my colleagues didn't think it was a good idea, nor was it quite possible to get into a juice fast programme.
I also shared the new challenge with my mom to get her support and so that she would stop tempting me with her dishes for three days between 6 and 8 August. Then I had to also get her to help receive the juices which will arrive on 5 August.
Today is four days before juice cleanse day. I was supposed to start adjusting my diet but I could not break away from my caffeine shot and white bread indulgence. Also, I just attended a 8-course dinner served with meats. Hoping that I will do better tomorrow.
Three days before the cleanse, I started cutting down on my coffee-shots. I was more conscious with what I ate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Totally cut out fried stuff and sugars and had more servings of vegetables. Also picked up more vegetables to last me for the next two days before the actual cleanse starts. Running low on lemons supply at home, will need to pick up from the supermarket again.
Two days before clease, decided to go for yong tau foo lunch, even my regular lunch partners who knew about my plan were surprised by the choices I made..carrots, pumpkins, Chinese cabbage, Ti Wang Miao, and two beancurd pieces. The only thing I could not resist was the yong tau foo sauce.
For dinner, I decided to go for Japanese Sweet Potatoes, Chinese cabbage and avocado juice, then I realize I just had avocado juice during lunch today.
Then the hubby had to tempt me with this and I hung on to my willpower.
The day before the juice cleanse, I had a crash, partly due to withdrawal symptoms from no coffee. Still I kept to light meals and hung on.........ready for a cleansing start!
