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.

Sunday – The husband cooks lechon

It’s 6:30pm as I wrote this, almost bed time. I felt so weak all I wanted to do was sleep. I had headache all day, I was shivering, my body aches like I’m going to have a flu and right now I think I’m going to throw up. That’s Day 1 of my fruit and vegetable cleanse.

am not religious. Nor do I want to lose weight. At 50 kilos with toned muscle from running and Pilates, I am not looking at dropping more pounds. But in the next 7 days, I’m going to eat only fruits and vegetables.

oodness, where has time gone? This month, I woke up to the fact that my kid is officially a toddler, my husband is 11 years older than when I first met him, and sleep is once again cut short due to the day-light-saving time.

on’t you sometimes get that feeling that your life is just one big to-do list? February felt that way for me, like I was waking up with only one purpose – to tick off tasks from a never-ending list of musts.

Y es, I gave in to the trend. As much as possible I can afford, I am now buying products that are certified eco-friendly, organic, sustainable, fair trade, you name it. What can I say? I have a soft spot for labels doing green marketing.
