Woo hoo! Last day of my cleanse! That went by really fast. I feel like I could have done it without any hesitation for another 2-4 days as long as I'm as busy as I've been. My biggest challenge now is...what the heck am I going to eat tomorrow and Friday?! I was so used to not having to think about it!

I'm happy to report that Day 2 was a success and this cleanse has been A LOT easier than I'd expected! I attribute that to a few things...

That's what I announced to my manager four days ago. That's right, I am leaving my day job! I gave my 5 weeks notice, following through with a decision I recently made to leave the desk job I'd been at for a little over 5 years.

It was fun to watch them get creative with different combinations and I think they really enjoyed it! Afterward, they reported being full, but not in a "disgusting, sick way" like they would after a heavy, cooked meal. I think they were both surprised at how satisfied they could be just on raw food alone, particularly since they're so accustomed to eating meat at dinner time.

Since many of us haven't met each other yet, I decided to host a gathering at my apartment and invited everyone over this past weekend for a healthy potluck. I was thrilled to connect with old friends and meet others for the first time.

I did NOT want to exercise this morning!
My cycling buddy was on a business trip today, so I had a really tough time motivating myself to get out the door for a solo workout.
Read MoreYesterday, I thought I was doomed. My headache, bodyaches, and chills were debilitating and I thought I was going to have to spend this gorgeous weekend cooped up in my apartment.
