Why did I decide to do this……… perhaps it’s because I couldn’t bear to see the lemons on our tree go to waste. The master cleanse is something which requires endless willpower…….. I’m not sure I have enough but having Batman certainly helps. We can do this lol.

Firstly just to let everyone know I didn’t eat a Brownie yesterday but on Friday I did. I can only dream of the taste now but quite possibly Fairytale Brownies are the most delectable thing I’ve eaten this year. Made from Beligian chocolate, the moist texture melts in your mouth, as the toffee gives it that kick.  The best or perhaps the worst thing is they can be shipped straight to your door. Can you believe we have a large box sitting in the Casa Mafia kitchen a gift from the band Age of Evil. Yep they were definetly evil giving them to us well actually Jen, the day before I started this delusional journey.

No honestly, maybe it’s because I’m British, but I really appreciate those who write thank you letters, send get well cards or guests who come to dinner with flowers or a bottle of wine, or bands that bring Brownies it’s not so much what they bring but the gesture that means so much.

I’m sure many of you will confess to this as well. I know better then to do this, but the day before I started this cleanse I found myself  having everything that I desired  because I knew the coming days would be torture. So I confess I had a Krispy Cream doughnut as well on Friday…….. Tannaz I blame you for taking me to the opening at Harrods. I couldn’t just drive past ‘HOT DOUGHNUTS’ in big flashing red lights, yes they got me. It’s been well over a year since I had one and it was worth the wait. This was supposed to be my only treat before starting, but then I got home and well the box was just sitting there!

They say the first day of a detox is hard but the second is by far the hardest. Quite evidently it is, as all i’ve written about so far is fooooooooooood. Doing a detox like this is quite possibly insane and different people will have very differing experiences depending upon their regular diet, lifestyle habits and overall health. Both Bruce and I eat pretty well although it could always be better. He’s vegetarian I’m not but I do try to always buy and eat happy meat. (More of that in another post). So although I’m dreaming about food I’m not actually starving, I feel very tried which is normal I’ve had no food! It becomes very apparent when fasting that this need for food is essentially a mental need to practice are habitual rhythm rather then a physical one.

So far I’ve had no headaches in fact any side effects of detoxing at all. Perhaps I’m not very toxic. I have to remind myself at this point why I decided to do this. The real reason is I felt my body needed to be reset. Fasting has been practiced for centuries and without doubt one of the greatest benefits is you really start to appreciate food, your body feels clean, as your mind becomes clearer. I’ve done only 2 fasts in my life this is my third one, once a year is quite enough.

Bruce bless him, is holding up but having watched his last blog he got things a little mixed up, when it came to the mixture so I’ll update you on that. Till then kisses.
