Juicin' Dog: Day 1

I've decided to do a modified juice cleanse. Why? Because in 1 year I've put on 15 pounds, 20 if you cover the past year and a half. Given, I was only 100 pounds before, and so, I welcomed some weight gain at first... but now, not so much. I've went from a size xs panty to a medium, a size 00 to a  4/6. 

How'd I get here? Simple, I started a new relationship, moved cross country, and happened to find myself in one of the best cities for dining out, San Francisco. We eat out at least 3 times a week, honestly more. Also, my boyfriend loves a nightly cocktail... or two. In the past, my drinking has been more binge-like, one heavy night a month. Now, I'm having one to two every night with dinner. I feel like I have been living in the garden of earthly delights... but, all good things must come to an end, and I want to end this now, before it gets beyond easy repair. Also, my boyfriend has told me that I'm going about it all wrong... and I love nothing more than to prove him as the one who is wrong :-)

That being said, I don't expect to undo in weeks what has taken months to incur, but I do expect to see some tangible, short term results rather soon. In order to see results, my plan is as follows:
