It's Day 2 and 3 of 21 Day Cleanse and I feel kinda green. Kermit green.

Day 2 of the cleanse. Note: after eating kale chips, your tongue turns green. In case you were wondering. And we all know that it's not easy being green. And it's not easy altering your food intake to a raw food, vegetable and fruit based diet.

I decided that maybe I needed to increase the protein content and headed to Wegmans to see what kind of whey powder might be available. Day one's trip to Walmart was a complete FAIL for protein/whey powder. Couldn't believe how much sugar and chemicals goes into the "weight-lifting" protein powder. Wegaman's had a much better selection and found one with Organic, grass fed protein whey without added sugar or flavoring! Success. After adding this powder to the shakes, definitely noticed a slight increase in energy. Slight.

And it turns out, kale chips are the bomb! They taste just like potato chips. Well, not really. But since it's the closest thing I'm gonna get to junk food on this cleanse, kale chips might be my new favorite food for the next 21 days.

I decide to eat a lot more green veggies and try to sneak them in all day long. Brocoli, snap peas, red leaf lettuce, more kale...you get the idea. 

Day 3:  OK, dear reader. This cleanse is going just OK. I know what you must be thinking: that I am going to the potty a lot. Interestingly, that's not the case. I won't get into specifics because I'm sure you really don't want to know. Isn't that nice of me?

I was inspired yesterday to head out in the open a take a brief bike ride. My husband fixed my 10-speed bike that I won as a door prize ages ago. When I first got it, I took it to a bike shop to have it assembled and the tire kept rubbing against the brake and the gears were really tight. The shop owner kept telling me it was fine and they couldn't adjust it so I got frustrated and didn't ride much. Then Dave told me he could probably fix it and he did. So I got on the bike and I was amazed at how easily the tires and pedals all worked. Granted, I'm out of shape, but I was still able to take a nice leisurely bike ride for maybe a mile or so. Felt leg muscles burning.

I'm pretty hungry, but what else is new?  Maybe I'll make some kale chips.
