Cabbage = Whinging and Winding

So it's been almost a year and what have i achieved? 

Well I'm still powerplating and secretly bleaching my facial hair when he indoors is outdoors and I'm still working hard and eating chocolate even harder.

And this last point is why i'm back, as i've embarked on a 4 day raw juice and soup detox to counteract the wonderful badness i've been consuming that not even my powerplate lessons can wibble out of me, and today my friends is my maiden voyage.

So far I am impressed with both the delivery of "goodies" that showed up at my door last night - consisting of 8 smoothies (although that makes them sounds tasty, which is false advertising), 8 little packets of vacuum packed soups (which granted look better as soup is meant to be green) and a daily array of pills and teas. Yummy.

So I lept out of bed this morning with the vigour of a 2 month old golden retriever, only to realise that today's pills were far to big to swallow whole, gulp. Having released the delicious powdery brown and white fillings into a glass of water I did the hold your nose and neck it trick. My tail wagging slowed.

Part 2 was a carrot juice. Just carrot. No really, just carrot. Now don't get me wrong I'm a fan of a carrot dipped in hoummus or pureed into a soup but just the little fella raw, naked and pureed does not taste good. Well not for half a litre anyway!

And now it's lunchtime. I've just manged a rather tasty "magic cabbage soup" which was a nice surprise. Nowhere nearly enough to keep the tummy drummers at bay but nice all the same.

I'm dreading 3.30 when I get to enjoy a "Green machine" (aforementioned green smoothie) but then dinner is carrot and sweet potato, which should redeem itself again.

I'll keep you posted, unless I blast off before I get the chance as there is quite the breeze...
