My last meal for ten days
My last meal was yesterday: it was a sunday lunch of roast chicken with roast parsnips, roast potatoes, roast leeks, buttered sprouts,steamed cabbage with gravy and stuffing followed by vanilla ice cream with fresh pineapple chunks. So I shouldnt be feeling hungry right now, or should I ?
Rawia, my unofficial sponsor, popped round after our lunch to drop off some organic cayenne pepper, and to discuss enemas - no, I wont be doing any enemas!! Even the name suggests its the enemy!
Rawia clearly didnt think that it would be too helpful for me to be writing a blog on the fast. Apparently when a number of nutrition students recently carried out a detox, the only one who actually managed to put on weight was the one who kept talking about what food she was missing! Oops!
I've been cooking!
Rawia would be even more shocked if she saw what I did at lunchtime today! I took the leftover raw vegetables : some onions, cabbage, celery and apple and made up a vegetable soup. Its a habit for me to prepare something at lunch time and I couldnt bear the food to go to waste. Actually thats a poor excuse because Id been meaning to drop it off at my Mums, but decided instead to start cooking. Of course I have no intention of eating any of the soup! I'm just breathing in its fumes , and then it will go into the freezer ready for day 13 of the fast. Honest!
Burning those calories!
Now I still have lots of office work to be getting on with but I really need to get some fresh air and a distraction from eating something.. I also need to get some more lemons and some organic maple syrup (Ive been using organic Agave Nectar so far , which Im sure is fine) but Im wondering if I have the strength for a bike ride ...
then I remember that Sunday lunch, and the fact that Ive probably eaten cabbage soup for lunch , albeit through my nostrils, and I realise that I do indeed have calories to burn!
Oh and whilst Im out on my bike , Ill make sure I find someone with weighing scales. I wouldnt want to lose too much weight before Ive had a chance to weigh my starting position ...haha!
