Preparing for a Cleanse (of the Juice Variety)

I'm going to start a juice cleanse on Wednesday, a BluePrintCleanse to be more specific.  (Their Renovation cleanse to be even more specific.)

Renovation Cleanse from BluePrintCleanse

This is their "gateway" cleanse and I'm super excited to start.  I've been reading a lot of online reviews and it seems like a great way to get a jump start on healthy eating.  It'll give my body a reset of sorts.

Everyone I've told thinks I'm nuts; and, the guys at work are planning to plot my mood over the week (they're very supportive/helpful of any odd endeavor - that's a slight dose of sarcasm for you).  But, honestly, I don't think this will be super difficult.  I've done a number of fasts over the years, they kind where I'd eat nothing and drink only water and herbal tea.  Now, that was a difficult way to detox, IMO.

So, today, after my waffle breakfast (it was the FI's last morning in town before his first of three work travel weeks), I've been trying to cut out some of the items they suggest: caffeine, meat, dairy, sugar.  I made fish with a bit of brown rice for lunch and am planning on a vegetable and fruit filled dinner.

Tomorrow may be a bit more difficult, as I'm going to attempt to go without my morning coffee.  This will probably lead to a withdrawal headache, as I have a serious caffeine addiction.  But, I figure that I can get through with a bit of tea if it becomes super necessary.  As long as I am ready to go without by Wednesday, I think I'll be okay. 

It seems like just preparing for the cleanse will get me a head start on the healthy life path (and, hopefully, a little bit of weight loss).

I'll add more thoughts and my review once I get underway with the drinking of all the juices.

Have you tried the BluePrintCleanse?  Any of the other ones out there?  Or, maybe made your own juices?  If so, was it awful?  Or, was it an ok experience that you'd recommend to others?
