Day 20

I went grocery shopping today for my off-Cleanse meals next week. It was surreal. I felt guilty picking out items that listed milk as an ingredient - or that I knew were filled with gluten. I still tried to pick out as many vegan meat substitutes as I could and bought vegan rice cheese, too. I also noticed that the pizza sauce I picked up contained high fructose corn syrup, so I put it back and chose a sugar-free, all-natural brand instead. I was about $20 over budget - but we were out of a lot of items and I had to buy extra trail mix for the big hike! Plus, I won that extra $20 at the casino a few nights ago . . .so does that mean I'm technically still within budget? See you tomorrow for the big finale . . .
