VEGAN CLEANSE, day 1

http://www2.oprah.com/foodhome/food/cleanse/blog/blog_main.jhtml
I have decided to start my vegan cleanse today - with just one twist, I can't give up my coffee but I will only have one cup instead of three cups. God has absolutely been preparing me for this as the past few days all animal products have seemed, well just gross to me, cheese included! I LOVE cheese, so I know I am doing the right thing. I want to witness first hand how I feel, if my joint pain goes away, if I lose weight, my energy levels etc. I went to WFM yesterday and did my vegan shop. I must say, it was nice that a lot of the products state vegan right on the package and there was a lot more then I thought there would be to eat!Here is what I bought for $125.00 which included my nifty 20% off. I started my morning off with weighing myself and that I will keep private but I will let you know the pounds lost, if any by day 30- that is if I make it to day 30, ha! I started my morning off with 1 cup of coffee, SILK soy-milk and a splenda. I then had a banana and some 365 organic golden flax flakes which was actually GREAT! I can't wait to be 3 days into this cleanse and see how I feel then. I will journal my cleanse on here, day by day - so look for my posts @ the end of every day, the good, bad and ugly of it all.
Here are a few pics. I took yesterday getting ready for WFM - the boys LOVE going dads work. ;-)

God- I ask for added awareness and strength as I embark on this new way of eating, thinking and life. Thank you.
