It all started when I was sitting on the couch flipping through documentaries on Netflix (we get the live streming through our Wii). I saw this documentary titled "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead". The picture was of a guy that was obviously unhealthy waiting to go into the juicer along with fruits and veggies and standing outside the juicer was a much thinner, healthier looking version of that guy, who I learned later was Joe Cross. I thought the documentary looked interesting. Little did I know, it was about to change my eating habits. I can't do the documentary justice by talking about it. If you haven't already, you MUST see it for yourself. Joe is hilarious in it, so it makes for an easy watch. As I was watching, I was glued. By the time it was over, I wanted everyone to see it! A couple nights later, I sat down and watched it again with Jon, my husband. It was about a week before my 30th birthday and at that point, I knew what I wanted Jon to get me...a juicer! So Jon did some research and got the right juicer for us and we started right away with experimenting. Here's the cover of the documentary:
Shortly after we decided that we were going to start a "juicing journey", I spoke to my sister-in-law, Robin, and told her about this new-found love. She was immediately interested and watched the same documentary with her husband, Rich. Guess what? They decided to join us! So they bought a juicer and we all visited a farmer's market and voted August 22nd to be our official start date! Jon and I are juicing for 14 days. Today is the start of Day 5 and I feel great. More details to come in the next post, so stay tuned...
Are you doing the fast like him?
