One last Hurrah!

So everything is ready.

The juicer is working and I've downloaded my (initial) 15 day plan; a 5 day Detox followed by a 10 day juice fast.  After that, we'll see how we go.  The shopping has been done for the first two days of the Detox plan and later I will be preparing the Berry Apple Cinnamon Bake - I'll hopefully include pictures in tomorrows blogpost.

In case anyone hasn't caught on, Joe Cross is the one who has inspired me to this point.  I saw a programme on TV called "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" and caught the same juicing bug as many other people who have managed to sell out most juicers in the UK it seems!

This year has seen the pounds pile on a bit, basically through a huge increase in eating convenience food and less than a little exercise.  But it's the additional health benefits of the juicing that has made me quite keen to do something.  At this point, I'm not concerned about the plan and am confident I will have no problems whatsoever following it; I have done extreme fasting before and once the first 3 days are out of the way, it's a doddle.  It'll be fine.  I'm actually really looking forward to starting properly and am fast-forwarding a few months when the visible difference will be extremely discernible and the clothing a size or two smaller.

But I will be going out with a bang, so to speak.  An old school mate of mine appeared on Facebook a few months back and we tracked each other down after 35 years or so... he's up from the South Coast tonight and has kindly invited me out for an evenings drinking with his mates again, who were all a really nice bunch and made me feel very welcome.  Seems rude not to, especially as it'll be the last chance for a while, so I may as well take advantage of my last night of "freedom".  I may even end up grabbing a kebab on the way home for good measure.
