Confession of a guilty girl....

Hey guys!! Ok so here goes.... my confession...... I haven't posted in a good while... over a month!! So part of the reason was because I took on another baby to look after during my week. So may day now starts at 7am and doesn't end until mid-night. So I was kinda too tired to write blogs and I kinda forgot some days....BUT another reason was because on the week of the 20th of october I started eating again and didnt stop :( IM SORRY!! I feel like iv let myself down and everyone else. It was my sons first birthday and I wanted some cake! No excuse but its my excuse :/

Anyway I am back on track ask of this week!! I am hoping to pick up where I left off and again use this blog as a way of recording my progress and feelings. I am going to have a goal of 60 days again but I am hoping to up it to 90 days. And guys you know what that means right?? Thanksgiving and Christmas meals are a NO NO for me! Yes thats right, I am not going to eat one single thing over the festive season :) Yes!! I am kinda disgusted in myself for being so determined and people were saying I was an inspiration then I ate for 2 weeks! :( AND GAINED 5 LBS for my troubles!!


So I promise to you and me that for the next 60 days not one crumb of food will pass my lips!! I have to do this!!


Fellow juicers please let me know how you are getting on!! Did you sail through the detox or did you have a little fall like myself! Its ok if you did..... just get back up and try again!! :)

Hello Day..... ummmmm......

So weigh day was yesterday! And I am down 4 lbs!

Yaaaay!! God knows why that one week I stayed the same but I am glad I shifted some this week.

I have been ridiculously busy this past week and my son and I caught a cold so I have not been signed into my blog to update things. I seriously cant even remember what exact day it is, I will have to figure that out when I am not so fuzzy minded .

I am thankful for all your comments and I do try to keep up with them all but if I do miss anyone I am sorry. Its lovely to have support out there and its great for others to read words of encouragement too! Keep it up coz I love reading it all!

I am still kind of sick but I am about to put my son down for his nap and I am gonna to the Biggest Loser Challenge on my wii!! Hopefully I can manage it without falling down or something!!

The juicing is still going great but I made a mistake AGAIN by going out and not taking juice with me.... so guys I will be honest.... I ate 3 bites of a banana!! :( I am shamed!! lol. I really had to though, I was shaking and felt really sick so I had to. I felt guilty at the time but not so much any more since I am clearly losing weight!

Anyway keep on juicing everyone and keep up the great work! or if your just starting let us know!! Its great to hear your stories!!!

3 weeks.... weigh day.... Slump : /

What the heck!?!? This is just unfair. I didn't even lose an ounce! I am officially upset. I know I should stay positive but its very disappointing!

But oh well. I will continue with my juicing and just hope for the best. Maybe I will try some new juices. I am gonna make up a new meal plan I think and let you all know how I get on.

Good luck juicers!! I hope you have had a better week than I did!!

Day 20

So it has been almost a week since I updated my blog! Woops!! I had what seemed the busiest week of my life last week! Babies were coming out my ears.... I was dreaming of them. For those of you who havn't read that part of my blog I take care of some babies during the week. So its babies babies babies in my house!!

I am totally disappointed by this week. I sneakily weighed myself and I have not lost anything. I stayed the exact same weight. At least I am not gaining I know but geeeez all I have been consuming is liquid!  But I will try and feel ok about it. Someone who read my blog commented and told me not to stress because something great will be happening inside my body and maybe I will be losing inches. Silly me didn't measure myself when I started but I will first thing tomorrow. I am so tired after my days that exercise is the last thing on my mind. I neeeeed to get a start on that asap!

Apart from my disappointing weight report, the actual juicing is going great. I am enjoying the new recipes I found. The ones with Green cabbage in them are surprisingly nice! I was thinking they'd taste kinda yucky with juiced cabbage but they were yums!

Anyway I will report back tomorrow with my weight... but I know it will not have budged. I got my workout wii game in the mail today so I am on it tomorrow!! Yeeeehaaaaa!! If anything I am feeling great so that's gotta count for something!

Happy Juicing guys! Let us know how your doing!!

Drink a Rainbow a Day! :)

Below is the guide for the "Drink a Rainbow a Day" rule that you should follow whilst juicing!

Reboot Daily Guide

Wake up: Drink 2 glasses of hot water
 (we suggest adding lemon and/or ginger)

Breakfast : Go Orange or Red
Mid-Morning: Drink 16 oz. unflavored coconut water 
Lunch: Go Green
Afternoon snack: Go Green or Red
Dinner: Go Green
Dessert: Go Purple or Orange
Bedtime: Drink herbal tea
 (with pure stevia for sweetness if desired)
Throughout the day: Drink lots of water

Day 14....weigh day!

So Its day 14! and I only lost 3 lbs 8 oz! I am majorly disappointed in this! I have drank nothing but juice and water and I lose a rubbish 3 lbs! Bleh! Maybe I will just be a slow weight loser : /

Oh well!

So this past couple days have been fine. I buy all my fruit and veg on a monday for the week ahead. For the past 2 weeks I have been following the meal plan on Joe's website and both weeks I have spent $100+  and at the end of the week I have had left over produce and some of it has been wasted coz it went bad. Also some of the recipes I think are incorrect. That's just my opinion of course but some of them are so overwhelming with certain ingredients that I have literally had to down the juice so I didn't hurt my tongue drinking it. For example there is one that the lemon was so over powering it was awful. It must be wrong!! So what I done was went on to the reboot with Joe website, looked at some of the juice recipes and made my own weekly meal plan based on the ones that sounded nicest to me. Of course I stuck with the Rainbow a Day rule. So I made my own meal plan and shopping list, went up to walmart and my groceries were $30 cheaper and my fridge is fuller! GO ME!! So I have some new recipes to try this week and I will let you know how they turn out. Some of them sound soooo yum and others just sounds super nutritious. I'm excited to try them

Ok everyone good luck with whatever day or week you are on. Remember to drink plenty water to keep your body hydrated! Stay happy and healthy!

Juice On!! <3

What day is it....12?

I am seriously starting to forget what day I am on.... because I am busy being a mum and babysitter all day or because I am lacking in food?? Who knows but I am super forgetful just now! haha. Today felt tough. I was tired after a busy busy week so I bought a cooked chicken for my son to eat with his Brown rice and veg. Feeding it to him was torture! Omg it smelled so friggin good! Lucky little booger!!

I am feeling good though. I had a a weird kind of headache yesterday. My eyes were really sore which has never happened to me before. Hopefully was just a random thing that wont happen again coz it was not nice! I am surprised how good I feel on just juice. I am not weak, I am no more tired than I usually am and I am not faint. I am thirsty a lot which is good as water makes me feel full. I was addicted to coke before this detox. I could drink 12 cans a day if I could get away with it. I say that last part because my husband would never allow such a thing lol. He does not drink the stuff and hates it when I do. If he saw me try to drink 12 cans he would be disgusted for sure. So I was scared about not drinking it every day. But I feel awesome. I am not craving it at all which is amazing. In fact I fully intend to have nothing more to do with drinks like that. I am determined to adopt a healthy lifestyle after this. I will keep fit and eat right!!

Well its labor day weekend and I have no babies til tuesday now...well except my own of course....so Zumba is definitely on the cards for tomorrow!! and today I bought "The biggest Loser Challenge" for my wii. I have read good things about this workout so I am excited to get it in the mail.

I am probably gonna stop posting every single day from now on. The first 2 weeks were a big help to me to write down how I was getting on. But I feel as I get into it and know whats coming the following week, I may start just repeating myself....and I dont wanna bore you. So I will check in every couple or few days to update you all. On weight and feelings. I have been reading on some forums related to this detox that some of you out there who are considering it want to know how it actually feels to be doing it. I hope this blog helps people.

Well guys and gals enjoy your long weekend (if your having one) and stay happy and safe!!
