Day One... is it over yet?

Well, I survived Day One and I'm already realizing that this detox is much more difficult than I anticipated. I made sure that I was fully prepared for this new diet, but all the preparing in the world can't fight that overpowering desire to have a bagel and cream cheese... or a piece of chocolate... or just a slice of toast.

Here's the menu of what I ate yesterday, along with the day one sample menu from Goop:
Real Menu
6am: Glass of lemon/raspberry water
7am: Green Tea
9:30am (breakfast): Blueberry, Strawberry & Almond Milk Smoothie
11:30am: Coconut Water
1:00p (lunch): Salad (romaine, carrots, cucumbers, strawberries & basil) with Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinegar
4:00p: Handful of dried mango slices
6:30p: Banana
8:30p: Broccoli & Arugula Soup

Sample Menu
7am (or upon rising): Glass of room temperature lemon water
8am: Herbal tea
10am (breakfast): Blueberry and Almond Smoothie
11:30am: Coconut water*
1:30pm (lunch): Salad with Carrot and Ginger Dressing
4pm (snack): A handful of mixed pumpkin and sunflower seeds
6pm (dinner): Broccoli and Arugula Soup

All in the all, it went pretty well. The only bad parts are the cravings and my brain's unending need to sabotage me.
