s I write this, the husband is trying to get the kid to take an afternoon nap, it’s 30 degrees Celsius outside, the bed sheets are hanging on the line to dry, the whole country is perhaps sunbathing on the beach or in their gardens and I’m hiding from the sun in my study room writing a blog post. Bliss, pure bliss.

Saturday – Active day trip

My 7-day fruit and vegetable cleanse ends tonight. I already have pork belly in the fridge, marinating in soy sauce, vinegar, 7-Up, oyster sauce and sugar for tomorrow’s barbecue lunch. I’m going to have eggs on toast for breakfast, with banana, grapes, dates and spinach smoothie, this time with milk instead of coconut milk. And I’m going to eat chocolates and drink a cold, dark beer.

I’m doing a 7-day fruit and vegetable cleanse to give my gut a break from all the carbo-loading and meat eating it had been doing for the past several months. I’m trying to document my daily experience through this post, as I am on Instagram break as well.

Friday – Still no running

I didn’t run today. I think I’ve become a bit lazy. I must find the motivation to train again. Or is it because I’m lacking energy?

Thursday – Mama dag, Yoga, Pilates

Last night’s chili sin carne really did me good. I felt more energetic today, which I needed because I was at home with the kid the whole day. I didn’t eat much though, except for dinner, just because I wasn’t hungry. Could it be because I was already planning the next personal challenge, a 3-day fast?

Wednesday – Another tiring day

I didn’t do much food preparation for today’s meal so that means no lunch to bring to work. I have two avocados in the office and I thought that’ll be enough for lunch. At 3pm I was hungrily devouring half a cob of sweet corn from KFC.
