T- 5 Days

On Friday night, we went to see family for a holiday. We received our juicer on Friday as well. We could not start our whole food diet today because we have not gone shopping yet. Today we are cleaning out or refrigerator and pantry. We will be checking most of the stores today to look for produce options and prices and stock our home with good foods. Mentally, we are starting to feel changes towards food. Rionna is reading more labels and feeling ready to give up eating.

Charles is mourning the loss of his favorite foods, but both are excited. We have told some family members now about our plans to juice and are hoping they are supportive. So far, we are answering many questions. We have been reading Juice Fasting & Detoxification By Meyerowitz (2002), in order to prepare for the upcoming weeks. Today is our last day of animal products, any processed foods, and caffeine. It is liberating to go through our food and make a fresh start.
