New Year's Day

I started this blog this morning, January 1 2013, so we can communicate during the cleanse even though some of us don't live together... or even in the same state!

Gillian and I started the morning with a bowl of Gillian's Amazing New Year's Day Miso Soup, and a cup of hot water with a squeeze of meyer lemon.  I also had a grapefruit, which was so tart and juicy it made me want to run to the store and buy ten or twelve more grapefruits.  I just might.

I am so ready for this cleanse that when Gillian suggested starting next week, so we could clear out our kitchen first of all the 'off-limits' items like cheese, yogurt, ice cream, chocolate... I decided I'd do week 1 for two weeks rather than do that. I didn't even feel tempted for a glass of NYE champagne.  We brought over a bag of groceries to our friends Ann and Kelly last night, and they eagerly accepted it -- although we may have talked Kelly into joining us.

Gillian is downstairs right now using our new Japanese kitchen gadget -- I don't know the name of it but it's some sort of vegetable shredder.  I think Judy got it for her for Christmas.  She is enthusiastically calling up "Yay!  Beet noodles!"

I'm looking forward to lunch.

Also to this day warming up a bit.  I'm sitting in the big armchair near the window in our bedroom, and it's notoriously drafty.  I'd like to go for a run this afternoon, if I don't freeze my butt off doing it!
