Cheating on Joe - Eat a Rainbow


Saturday it poured with rain.
Netflix was calling me to the couch and I stumbled across Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead whilst flicking through the movie titles.

I started then and there on Saturday.

I survived Day 1[Sunday] , half of Saturday was a trial run.

Day 2 - I'm off to good start with the last of the vegies in my crisper. Carrots, Sweet potato, apple, stick of asparagas and half a bag of green leaves.

No need to show you a pic of my 'green' juice. I'm sure you've seen hundreds on instagram.

I must confess I've cheating a bit. I just can't give up my white tea. No sugar.

Last night two small bites of meat jumped into my mouth.
No whine wine.

I've resisted everything else [so far] and I know I can do it for 5 days or so.
I need to move the dial ; pelvic surgery [so no exercise for 5-6wks] and a week long cruise with unlimited access to food. Enough said.

I am the heaviest I've ever been , except for when 35wk pregnant with twins. My clothes are tight.
My knees will cope better if I can lose a little weight.

The wanky mason jar and stainless steel straw makes it taste better.
It's actually very tasty. Though it's the first time I've ever juiced sweet potato and asparagas.

I'll have the healthiest dogs in town with all the vegie pulp.

Joe lets you use the 3,5,10 and 15 day plans free and this infographic. He is very inspiring and a good guy .

It's not just juices , there are a few salad recipes, apple bake and even sweet potato fries. He ha dme at Sweet potato fries.

May the horse be with you - I don't really follow the Melbourne Cup. Like Kirsty I don't get the fuss.
Mr Ed - I love him.



I must confess I don't want to know if I poop a rainbow like a unicorn.

I'm all for eating a rainbow, but I can't do smoothies. I like to chew. A bright salad is always good though.

I feel a bit gaggy at a green smoothie too - juice without pulp is fine.
I am eating a rainbow meal at night - just glad it's not forever.
I could eat rainbow fruit salad every day.
My husband already makes me drink his witches brews (veggie juices), so I think I've getting enough 'rainbows' at the moment. I would never give up tea for anything! You've done well if you've resisted everything else. I wasn't able to resist Halloween candy and (son's) birthday cake this weekend, despite supposedly being on Weight Watchers. Oops. Hope you're feeling better and enjoying your cruise very soon!

Yes , I can skip coffee not my tea - i made it through today and even chicken kebabs I resisted. Just.
Good luck on weight watches Ness.
Oh you've made me want to go and watch old episodes of Mr Ed now!

I was thinking about him and suddenly a juice related episode popped up on you tube - a long forgotten memory maybe.
Mr Ed was so funny.
I've never got on the green juice bandwagon, or even the juicing craze in general to be honest. It's something I've always wanted to try and I really should. Just the idea of drinking something green makes me want to be sick. I'm sure it tastes better than it looks though.
My recent post Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Juices come in a rainbow of colours - you choose.
I love sweet and savory juices.
My kids have been happily drinking the weird green colour - apples make it very palatable. Then you reduce the apples/carrots as they become accustomed to taste of stronger tasting greens.

That is a really powerful movie. I saw it a couple of years ago. Unfortunately I haven't changed my ways but I'm now much more aware of the power of real whole food. I wish you well with your bid for health & weight loss Trish!

After I watched Fat, sick and nearly dead - I decided if that guy could do it for 60 days I could try 5. I just need to see the numbers go down a little , thankfully not big numbers -single digits.
Everyone at work is into the juices. I don't have anything to make one with. I love horses, especially Mr Ed and I feel sorry for the horses running in the Melbourne Cup.

hi Pinky , I'm doing it for a targeted reason , then I will relax it a bit. I feel sorry for the horses too - Mr Ed was well trained though I hope they didn't do anything nasty to make him cooperate.
