Getting "Clean"
In this episode (I am a reality show now!), I share what my transition week on the Clean program was like - minus my 2-day hiatus for my friend Deb’s visit. So far, I feel great – not really hungry, and definitely lighter. This week I begin the REAL Clean – 2 liquid meals that are easy to digest and one solid meal per day. See the video for more details...
Besides getting a new haircut here in Sao Paulo (which was an adventure in itself), I have recently also started driving. My time with Roberto, my driver, has sadly come to an end, and now I must fend for myself. Luckily I took that defensive driving course right after I arrived...

I just sent for the book on Amazon. Good to see you and hear your experiences to keep me pumped up, as just reading about it, it does appear to be a lot of work! Good to hear that you're getting results in only 2 days too. Wow. Say, a suggestion: is there another place to shoot your video? The bathroom echoes quite loudly! It makes it a bit difficult to hear you correctly, FYI.
OK, Beautiful, all the best on your new adventures of so many different kinds -- my, but you are doing so w/grace! I think I would feel overwhelmed. Good to see you doing so well.
Love, love, Melanie (:

Thanks, Mel! I will try to find a different location for the next vlog!
Yes, the program definitely is a change from my normal way of eating, but my body seems to like it. Actually, I am cooking less since I am eating more smoothies and only 1 solid meal. Some of their recipes are great! I made a brown rice risotto with artichoke hearts and mushrooms that was great, and I have been eating it for the past 3 days.
And, hey - overwhelmed has been my new "normal" literally until I started this program. It has helped me not only physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

What? No caffeine, no alcohol, no sugar?
Does the book give suggestions for mourning your previous lifestyle?
Since Sharon and I get together often, I am not so sure about giving up my wine. Can you use wine to make the smoothies?
You look great and I love your blog. I get to see you and that makes me a happy girl.
Love
Mom
