Monday, September 13th, the first day of my cleanse! I was so excited to wake up and get my day started.

I had a glass of lemon water next to my bed to drink before I even get out of bed, the reason for doing this is because it alkalizes your body. While we sleep our bodies get acidic and we need to flush out toxins. Most of us use caffeine to do this, I don't drink caffeine so this is the healthier way!

For lunch I had a vegan, gluten free veggie burger with a salad, a little dressing and an avocado and for a snack I had a larabar. They are so good!

Now dinner i was a little nervous. I really want my kids to try what I cook. I do not want to have to cook 2 different meals. So i asked them to please just try what i make. I made a 3 bean chilli with tempeh served over Brown Rice. They loved it! I was so happy that they actually ate it. I really want them to learn how to eat healthy. Im not looking to make them vegetarians or vegans, but just to learn to eat healthy. To also learn that there are other choices other than fast food, processed foods or foods full of sugar. Especially my daughter. My daughter loves to eat and there is nothing wrong with that, as long as she makes healthy choices. That doesn't mean I'm not going to allow her to have sweets, its moderation and it's knowing that fruit and veggies can be just as good a snack as cookies, cake or salty fried chips.

She is also helping me in the kitchen and asks a lot of questions about what we are making so this will help her to learn not only what she is eating and how to make it, but why. She loves to cook!

So I am excited for day 2. I have my meals planned out, I made some homemade hummus (missy's recipe) yesterday and it's delicious! i sent my husband to work with some for his snack today! I am looking forward to my day!
