day 1

Today is the first day of my green adventure.  I plan on drinking 3 different juices today. Started the morning with hot lemon water and 1 cup of coffee. Snow day from school so my first day will be spent at home. Yippee!  Cramping and diarrhea about 1/2 hour after the lemon water.  Sunrise juice next.

Okay, drinking the sunrise juice...pretty tasty! Only had 1 at breakfast, skipped the snack juice.
