Easing off

Today was Day 1 to ease of of the cleanse. I was supposed to drink OJ all day but I ended up getting a VERY small salad of greens, a couple slices of cukes, carrot shavings and balsamic. I ate it slow and chewed it thoroughly. Tonight after work we went to Ever'Mans food store and bought all kinds of stuff to try: Better 'n Peanut Butter, locally made strawberry preserves, organic wheat penne, marinara, two tiny (and quite expensive) peaches, and a big container of greens, plus beef broth, shakable flaxseed, organic sesame ginger dressing (YUM, I already had some), kettle unsalted chips (I hope these are good) and some veggie low sodium ramen noodles. Rich grabbed some stuff and we bought some honey for people -- our total was $80! Ouch. I think I am going to hit Palafox Market Saturday morning for some fresh veggies and fruits. For "dessert" tonight, I'm slowly eating a minipack of raisins. They're sweet and perfect.
