Getting Prepared

So I decided I will delay starting for just 1 more day, for a few reasons..I really was not expecting to start this weekend, and have some foods  need to use up. Also today I am going to the screening of the movie with Q & A after with Joe Cross, the man himself who started all this..
It really does only take one person to make a difference after all. And what a difference he has made. I see on the website and the FB Page a lot of people making changes and finding something good in all this.

I figured I would be all wired up and ready to start after today, not to mention maybe could get a few questions answered before I start! One of them is can my Juices last a few days? 1 Day?


I have already bought most of the veg I need, some I may not find (maybe not in Season?). I think it will take me taking time out to prepare for the next day, as some dishes I will have to. Breakfast I won't be getting up 45 mins extra to cook. I am already up early enough!!
One thing I have noticed when I go to the supermarket now, is just how much pre-prepared products there is, once I get my veg there is Aisle's of food I don't need to look at??
A lot it we could all live without, maybe not permanently but certainly not as often as we might do. I can also see the need and the popularity for these foods. Who has time to go shopping every day for fresh veg and then prepare it etc.
Let's face it some foods can come in handy to have in the house! But I would prefer to err on the Pre Packaged foods that are a little bit less processed and actually have the ingredients that is posted on the product. I don't want Blueberry cereal and only have fake blueberries in it?!

I seen a product listed last week as Salmon Cakes and the fish was not Salmon at all. It was Pollock etc.
I should have said something that day to the Manager, as it was the Store's product. It was totally misleading. But it's out there every day you go to the supermarket, products that are not all as they seem.
Bread's that may seem Whole Grain but really are not. Even Low Fat products may have less fat, but twice as much Sugar!! I did see this mentioned somewhere before that the public are really not all to blame for their size, that the food out there is Fattening and a lot it Unhealthy, sure it keeps you alive, but just look at the pills on the market,for all sorts of malaise that can easily avoided my a better diet.
Not to mention Qutting a few other bad habit's a lot of us have..

Going into city shortly and will finish Post later.

Back again.. The evening went really well, I enjoyed the movie better second time around, maybe because of the audience this time to share it with. And I also picked up information I missed the first time.
Joe came out at the end and answered questions, mine got answered by someone else asking, juices can keep for 3 days if covered / sealed and kept in the fridge.
That helps me in being able to drink juices at work. I am also delaying once again! one more day, as friends are celebrating with wine and pizza tomorrow.
It gives me another day to make sure I have all I need at least for my first day,no more cancellations as I don't want veg to go bad!!
Well that's all for today. :)
