The Juice Diet Day 3

The weekend is here and Day 3 was Friday.  I have to confess that I have broken the diet on the evening of Day 3 cause I REALLY wanted to go and have dinner with my friend, The Actress, and her beautiful daughters.  Then I REALLY wanted to go out to the pub to see her hubby The Percussionist play in his band.

Never being very well versed in the subtleties of self flagellation and deprivation I did what I REALLY wanted to do!  I was not too bad though.  I watched The Actress make the green chicken curry - all good fresh ingredients, drank water with dinner, and only had two little beers at the pub.  (OK one big beer and one little beer).

Here it is for your reading pleasure... Day 3.
