Good Evening!

It’s really nice to be posting on time for a change!

I woke up this morning still feeling full because it seems the last couple of days I’ve eaten more than I should have and my old pattern of over eating is creeping back in so I’m taking action! I also feel like I would really love to begin a cleanse now so I’m going to do that until next weekend. My cleanse will involve eating simply, not much oil, NO NUTS!, lots of vegetables,light seasonings, opening foods, cleansing ingredients (like daikon and some exercise.

Today I have eaten very simply

Breakfast

I wasn’t hungry or thirsty so nothing for me

Lunch

Ume-sho-kuzu – mmm. I love umeboshi!

Then a walk in a forest with some kombu tea

Dinner

Barley cream, more barley cream followed by some barley milk and a little leftover ume-sho-kuzu

Tomorrow, I will try to have only grain & vegetables & perhaps a light soup for dinner.

Let the cleanse commence!

Love & magic

Hello,

Yesterday (9th)…

Breakfast

Nothing

Lunch

Miso soup with mochi

Brown rice with a pumpkin seed dressing, buckwheat & red cabbage, pressed leek & carrot salad, home made pickles

And…guess what?…an oat flapjack. I must admit to being rather disappointed at my lack of anything really after eating this. I didn’t find it particularly amazing to be eating a dessert again after so long. I did enjoy it but that was it, which is kind of boring!

Dinner

Buckwheat, brown rice, pressed salad,  sauerkraut & mixed veg with pumpkin seed dressing

Twig tea
