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.

Monday – Working Day

I woke up less miserable. But not because of the cleanse. My kid didn’t let me sleep again. Parenthood.

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.

his is not a success story. This is a did-not-finish (dnf) report. I failed at my first ever attempt at ultramathon. At 47km, after a gruelling 6 hours and 13 minutes, I threw in the towel. But didn’t I already say that when I started writing my Road to Texel series? Did I start this race with failure in mind?

Dearest T,

Has it really been 20 months since I last wrote you a letter? Mama is such a terrible mummy blogger. Sorry sweetheart, I was busy earning money for your day care. Lame excuse, I know.
