Day 1 of the detox

Ok, dont judge. I'm starting a detox cleanse, and I know what you're thinking-that's stupid! But if you've never done it, that's what your first impression would be. I'm not doing it to lose weight, although I cant say I wont enjoy that part! I've just been feeling sluggish, irregular-if you know what I mean, and in need of a fresh start. I've read everything there is to read, and while it's not recommended by physicians (they're not gonna hand you a flyer and say 'here! starve yourself!') it's the safest one out there. I'm still gonna be getting 1600 calories a day, and plenty of electrolytes. It mainly consists of water, lemons, maple syrup and cayenne pepper (that part was difficult to swallow-literally) and salt water in the morning. It doesnt taste BAD, but the cayenne pepper gives it a kick that I'm not used to. People used to tell me I thought ketchup was spicey. But it's supposed to boost my metabolism, and Lord knows I need that! So anyway, it's only the first day, and we'll see how this goes. I'm already planning to cheat a little on my birthday, but that's only fair :)
