Cleanse day 16

Its getting hard ... at the same time its getting fun . I'm noticing all sorts of things about eating habits and thoughts and people. Do you ever stop to think about what is in the food you are ordering , even something as simple as a smoothie? I was begin to drop in energy this afternoon and decided I needed a snack smoothie . I was Barnes and Nobles and looked up to see a sign for a mango banana smoothie ... it looked delish. Now that I am on a cleanse its important for me to know whats inside so I asked . Mango Juice (NAKED JUICE BRAND) , Banana, 2% Milk, Protein powder. So ordered it with no milk and no protein . But normally would I ask ? Do I really need the milk ? Do I want the extra protein ? Maybe, Maybe not. Either way it should be my choice. Therefore ALWAYS ASK.

One thing I'm noticing these days is the calmness of life that is only brought out from within. I had reached a point where driving would stress me out because I knew everytime I got cut off or had to slam the brakes my body was producing flight/fight hormones that eventually lead to stored fat and a myriad of other related symptoms ... AKA STRESS. It comes from within . The past few days I have noticed the calmness in which my body responds to similar situations. There is no response. It is a subconcious action . I really like it.

Meals were not so tasty today :
Morning Smoothie with the Perfect Greens ... it was green and unappetizing but i drank it .

I sipped on The Clean tea for the afternoon and lots of water . I had the mango smoothie and then my 4oz of wheatgrass which are still making me gag.

Im avoiding the soups but I know my body needs the nutrition so I will have some tonight.
