When juicetou tweeted about mum's and dad's being wanted to review and trial their detox juice program I sent an email with some basic info and stats thinking there was no way I'd be chosen (having known how popular it is) but that it was a try anyway. I'm very much into if you don't try/ask you don't get so why not. It hasn't always worked out. For instance trying to barter for an amazing woollen coat in a vintage shop at a knockdown price.... But this time it paid off!
And so here I am. It's a Tuesday night and my juices and lemons were delivered this afternoon in a cooled cardboard box and instantly refrigerated for tomorrow.
No food, no diet coke *sob*, no caffeine and only water or fruit teas to be taken in conjunction with the juices at 9am, 12pm, 3pm and 6pm. Well okay. I don't drink tea but I can do this water thing, right? I've been meaning to cut down on my diet coke intake...
All in all I'm just very excited to get this opportunity. As said in my previous post I need this, I need to at least try it to see if this is the kickstart that works for me. It will be hard, I know this, but I hope to keep on track not only for myself but for my kids too. As much as I try and be healthy for them - not so much the baby as she is still on mainly purees at the moment but I always try and cook healthily for my wee boy and he likes his veggies, likes his protein and has set meals of breakfast, snack mid morning, lunch, snack mid afternoon and then a proper dinner when Daddy comes home from work. Whereas I .... get up, have a diet coke for breakfast. Maybe I'll have a bounty bar with that if I can't hold off til mid morning. Lunch for me is usually a packet of quavers or two slices of toast smothered in butter if I'm feeling REALLY hungry. Sometimes I might have another bounty for a snack in the afternoon before shovelling some sort of dinner down my throat attempting to feed a little baby girl who doesn't take to it that great. Sometimes I might not even cook anything for myself and convince my husband when he comes in that chips and cheese would be great! It's a nasty habit to break.
I feel it'll be harder around lunch and dinnertime for me. Though maybe not lunch and a bit later as that's when I seem to hit my wall and just want the day to end so I can go to my bed. It's not very nice to live this way so I'm hoping that the reviews of feeling more energy and rejuvenated aren't just embellishing and actually the truth. I would have bought this detox a long long time ago if it wasn't for the price. How many times I had it in my basket on the website before the wedding.... Just think how different my pictures at the wedding would have been had I taken the plunge and bought it. I wouldn't have wasted so many hours having to retouch them all that's for sure! So in essence, my hopes are very up for this but this is why I think I'm the perfect trialist for it. I'm going to give it my all.
And I am so into the not having to exercise during it. Though hard as my exercise is basically pushing around that damned heavy double buggy to the shops and the park and back again! It's so hard to get a bus where I live that will let you on with that monstrosity. I get their point but then again surely if I want to get on a bus I should be able to? But I digress.
Til 9am tomorrowwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
