Day 26 and the beginning of the Cleanse diet.  Yuck!  Blandest foods ever.  I like edamame, I like carrots (raw), I like spinach but pureed together...blech!!!  Something about the blending and pureeing that makes it unpalatable.  Not to mention the lack of salt.  Even the chocolate pudding was too rich and too sweet.  I liked the kale juice, though.  No energy to do the workouts and am barely getting through them.
